Derby Street

A Memory of Salford.

I lived at 24 Derby Street from 1948 to 1958. It was a family road with mum an dad living at 28 and brother Jim up the road. I remember Billy Dags who owned our houses. I remember going over the road to Joan's shop to have a tin of beans until my husband got paid. My husband worked at the fruit market and then P.R Jackksons. I worked at Salford Elec in Silk Street during the war. I was born in 1927 and have memories of Lower Broughton after the war as I lived in West Duke Street before I met my husband after the war.
