Many thanks for this. I live in South Africa, but my childhood days were in Moss Side, circa 1952 to 1956. My folks had a grocers shop, 100 Great Western Street, just before the lights at Princess Road. Great and nostalgic times: GWS Methodist Youth Club, the Wycliffe cinema, the Odeon on Whalley Range, and the park opposite our shop on Great Western Street. And, of course, the home of my still beloved Manchester City. Some 70 years on: the memories linger on. Many thanks. Robert H. Fidler, KZN, South Africa.

@robertfidler7344 Hello Robert, I lived in Whalley Range, at that time ( Manley Road ) I recall the last film shown at the Odeon Cinema, before it permanently closed down was The Alamo, starring John Wayne( appx 1962 ) strange how somethings remain in the memory. Sorry for being boringly nostalgic. Anyway, Peace to all.

Brought back many memories of shopping with my mum in the early 60's. My grandad used to drink in the Alec (Alexandra pub.) We used to go in the UCP cafe. In the late 60's I used to go to a great material shop with a friend, whose mum would run us up the latest fashions. Got my first record from Marshall's record shop. It was a great shopping area; Whalley Range & Moss Side lost it's heart & soul when that went. I love that piece of music as well. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for all the comments. I miss Moss Side I knew so very much. We were all poor but we were happy. Getting bomfire wood, penny for the Guy. Exporing empty old houses. Getting bruised, scratched and mucky.... Things that made us. Things this generation will never know. On a side note does anyone remember the old Our Ladys Club on Raby St? And Father Lee. I played snooker there many a night as a teenager. ,

And no they wer'nt good times, in fact living in the moss was bloody miserable, it was one big infested cockroach grot hole, and i was glad to see the back end of it when my mum sold up and moved us to Broadbottom in Tamsside.
