Moss Side, Great Western Street
I'm Michael Hewitson. I lived in Caythorpe Street from 1945-1968. The area was in those days a caring, close community. The 'rec' opposite my street was where I learned to play bowls. The 'parkies' policed the park with great aplomb but with compassion. It was 6d to play and hire bowls and jack for an hour and I became quite good. The 'parkies' saw this and in time my fee was waived and they let me play free - good men. Two teams played at the 'rec', Great Western and Moss Side.
Lancashire memories
1946-1958, 46 Wood Street.
My mother was Jane Anne Bowcock, father James Bowcock. I had one brother, Brian, and two sisters, Mavis and Susan. I went to Lloyd Street Junior School and then City Road Secondary School. I used to go to Hulme Lads Club and Leaf Street Swimming Baths. If anybody out there remembers the Bowcocks I would love to hear from you.
Hulme 1967-68
My maiden name was Elaine Coxon and I lived in the Wellington Hotel on Stretford Road, Hulme. I loved living in Hulme at that time, before the new houses came into being, the little 2 up and 2 down where everyone knew each other. I used to go to the Hulme Library to do my homework with my friend Elaine Pargeter, we used to play on the "Crofts" as I knew them, the area where they had pulled down the old houses. I had no choice but to move to Worsley because they were pulling down the pub where I had lived for so long! I remember we used to catch the 42 bus to Belle Vue and spend the whole day there, it cost tuppence on the bus and I took ten bob with me and it lasted all day! What times they were. I have lost contact with all the people I knew back then. If anyone knows me, please get in touch, I am on FB so... Read more
The Bowcocks
Just a line to say that I remember Brian Bowcock I was in the same class at Lloyd Street school and my cousin Brian Foulkes lived at 44 Wood Street.
I Remember...
I remember Paulden's Store on Oxford Road burning down. I was with my gradma Nellie Flanagan and we were horrified. I am not sure of the exact date but it was in the 1950s.
Saw A Reference on Here to The Bowcock Family of Hulme.
My aunty Hilda was a Bowcock from Hulme before she married my Uncle Jimmy Flanagan. Wonder if she was related to the Bowcocks mentioned on this site. Sadly she has long since passed away but I am guessing she was a relative.
I Went to Gaythorne Primary School
I went to Gaythorne Primary School until 1963. The headmaster was Mr. Jacks and the teacher of the last year was Mr. Beasley. The teacher in the aged 5's class was Miss Atkinson. I loved Gaythorne Primary. I wonder if anybody else has fond memories of this school in Hulme.
