Y M C A Manchester
A Memory of Manchester.
Hi. My old firm, Harry S. Fairhuirst and Sons, were the architects who designed the YMCA in Peter Street. In the 1970's I took over responsiblity for the R & M of the building and this contiinued until my retirement.
Who remembers the bedrooms for single young men coming to the city to earn a living ( girls were not allowed through the doors at that time ), the relatively inexpensive food, the running track and swimming pool on the top floor which was the bain of my life.
Happy days.
Arthur Higginbottom.
