The Good Old Days
When I was a kid it never went dark when it did I saw a tomato man in Davyhulme Park.
One of my memories
Real Ice Cream!
Grimwoods was the best ice cream in the world. It was smooth and coloured cream - delicious! They had a shop on the circle and peddled their ice cream from a Bedford van around the Davyhulme area. The shop was on the right of the detached property in picture D104001.
Great Memories.1950s.
Hi. I was born in Urmston, the usual place, the cottage hospital, in 1944. I lived in Davyhulme until about 1963. I lived in Pangbourne Avenue which is off Abingdon Road. In the Davyhulme, Lostock Road pic it shows my uncle's van, who owned the greengrocer's,(Ogdens) which as I remember was next door to the record shop, whose name I forget. But I have bought many a 78rpm from there. I attended St Mary's, Cornhil Road, then Flixton Road School when it was half n half boys n girls, then on to Welacre Secondary modern till I left in 1959. Davyhulme & Urmston hold some cherrished memories for me.
Work
I also used to work in the butchers to the right of the photo, known as Spinx W Hittinghams then Hoyes, trained by Harold Mather. Top bloke.
Playing
When I was a child i used to play in the white house just past the garage just to the left of the picture when it was derelict.
Camping
Me and my friends camped on the circle for a dare untill the police moved us in the early hours. Date was about 1980.
Nags Head
A view from my local pub, the buffett room, used as a bar in the 80s when the pub was being done up.
