Memories Of Collyhurst

A Memory of Collyhurst.

We moved to collyhurst in the 60's I lived at 6 Central Drive, my name then was Wilds. I went to St Malachy's school, my teacher was Miss Hugh's. I also remember Miss Le-hey and Sister Madeleine. When I was about 13/14 I helped behind the counter at Dobsons. My parents were Mary and Jimmy, my sister Linda and brothers Tommy and John. I remember Rafflo the ice-cream man, Bristow the coal man, Fanny Raynors, Winnie in the sweet shop, playing on the itchy, the sand park. Going to the pictures on Saturday mornings, loads of people - Mrs Ash Worth, Mrs Holland who used to live underneath, the Berries lived above - too many to mention. My best friend was Carol. Lots of happy memories.
