My Book A Salford Lad Oh Maggie What Have You Done

A Memory of Salford.

Hi Francis,
I was born and bred in West Bank Street Salford, across the road from the Police Station on Regent Road (where the fairground was). I attended Regent Rd School from 1952 until 1960 when forced to go to Ordsal Sec, I loved Regent Road School, Mr Siddall was a fantastic teacher.
If you are interested I have written a book about my life in Salford (not published it yet) but it contains great memories of where I grew up. Please contact me if you would like a copy.
Would not change a day of my upbringing; although extremely poor I was also extremely happy. Some great stories in the book and if you where born in Salford around 1945 - 1955 it will rekindle those times.
My name is Bill Jolly now 65 and a Publican living in Glazebury, Cheshire, a lovely village near Bents Garden Centre. My wife (Susan) from Egerton House who attended Mount Carmels School run the Foresters Arms, we have been Publicans for 32 years.......ps Glazebury is a lovely village but not a patch on Regent Road.
Community in those days was all everybody had, today folk are prisoners of their own homes.
Thanks and hello to everyone who remembers me or Susan nee Spiby and never forget where you come from.
Cheers
Bill Jolly
