I was born in 1950 in Salford, lived all my early years at Little Hulton, then man stops on the way took me to Cheshire. I have many many memories of Salford  - Walking day, School - Mount Carmel's, Sunday schools etc. I am very proud of being from Salford, and never ever let anyone say 'Salford, thats Manchester isn't it?' without correcting them 'NO Salford is a city in it's own right....'
My mum Elsie Mary McMahon married my dad, Albert Cooke. Dad's mum was called Elizabeth Cooke, nee Tierney known as Cissy Cooke. She was a real character, when the priest used to ask if she had been to church, she would piously reply 'Yes Father' but she meant the Church Inn pub! She told us many stories about life in Salford and they were always hilarious...
