Happy Days: A memory of Collyhurst

Happy Days

A Memory of Collyhurst.

I was born in Tebbutt Street in 1951. I went to St. Pat's School. Fond memories of Osborn St. baths, Hunts chippy and the toffee apple shop on Rochdale Rd. Played on Barney's tip as a kid and who can forget the wonderful smell that used to waft across Collyhurst from the bone works off Roger St. Used to deliver newspapers in the Collyhurst Rd. area. Most people didn't have much but crime was very low and people got on. Happy days, things have changed but for the better?
