I don't see any memories of Beswick, Manchester. We lived on Mill St., between the Bradford pub(I think this is still there) and the doctors office(I believe that it is also still there), but the houses in between have been pulled down. We moved from Mill St. to Collyhurst when they were pulling down all the houses in the area and on this part of Mill St. I remember Grey Mare Lane Market (the old one especially - was owned by Mike Don - he has passed away and I think his son takes care of the markets now). Does any one have any memories of this area in the mid 1960's to the 1970's? Did anyone go to Ashbury Primary school, or move from Beswick to Collyhurst? Any memories would be appreciated. All the best

I remember living on Charles Street in Cheadle, used to walk to Blaggson and Masefield every day and on Saturday mornings. My best friend was Julie Bryant, we loved dancing at the guild hall. My father had a stall in the indoor market and then a small shop on Charles Street. I have many many fond memories of my years in Cheadle. Wonder if anyone remembers Marion Clayton?

My dad ted williams was born in bayonne road next door to the Baptist church. I was born in garvan road December 1949. My mums mum lived four doors away and my aunts all lived in fulham, it was a close neighbourhood but in a more formal way in that you never became too intrusive my parents always referred to neighbours as mr or mrs.. My brothers and sister all have fond memories of playing rounders, tennis and knock down ginger in the road. We had great fun at the big rec and little rec. Walking home from Sir John lillie I remember playing on the bomb sites which seemed just a normal part of our childhood. Both my parents have died and now I am in my late 60s I wished I had asked more questions about the day to day life during and after the war.
I remember the rag and bone man who came round on his horse and of course santelli ice cream van.
