I was born in Queen Charlotte's hospital in 1957 and lived at 139 Estcourt Road for the first 11 years of my life. We lived upstairs and my grandparents Harry and 'Flo Francis lived downstairs. I went to Sherbrooke Road school and so did my mum. We both had the same teacher Miss Peers who was a huge character!! I went to Saturday morning pictures, swam in Fulham Bathes pool and played on "the old bombsites" without a care in the world. We'd ride in the lifts of the Clem Attlee flats when visiting friends and play cowboys and Indians in the graveyard of the Catholic church that backed onto our house. Going to the outside toilet when it was pitch black, with the graveyard next to us was my only fear. Great memories.

I first lived in Droylsden St and we moved to Lees St about 1955. My parents Bob & Gladys had the shop at No.108, I lived there with my brother Steve. The shop was across the road from the Red Reck, where we spent most of our time; it was there or the slag heaps at the back of Vanna St school. Also over the canal; we could go anywhere in those days without any fears. I used to play out with Peter Piggot, Eddie Higgins, Pete & Dave Smith and the Phithians family. I wonder if they, and a lot of others think about those days
