My memories of the Savoy are of learning to ride a 2 wheeler bike in front on the wide pavement and of everybody dancing there when the war was over. Then of going to the cinema on Saturday mornings when Mr Scroggins used to keep all the children in order. They are happy memories.

Extracts From Compstall & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Compstall, inspired by Frith photos.
Monton had been a separate village until the incorporation of Eccles, when it was taken under the new council's wing. Monton Green is also the name of the road in our photograph. Behind the photographer is the very large Broadoak Park, home of the Worsley Golf Club; the short road leading to the clubhouse is called Stableford Avenue. Like the other areas of Eccles and Salford, Monton likes to keep its own identity.
