A Memory of Gorton.

As a toddler in the early 70's I have fond memories of going shopping with my mum. Cross Street and Hyde Road are unrecognizable today compared to how the were. There was still some heavy engineering as well. I remember standing by the railings In Peacock Street Primary school as Massive engines slowly traveling down Gorton lane with Police escorts.
Of course there was Belle Vue, endless terrace streets with Pubs and Chippys, Parades with Bands and Fairs in the Parks and playing out with what seemed like a million kids of all ages. Its cliche I know but it was a old fashioned working class area back then...ah but times change I guess...quite sad really.
