Nostalgic memories of Salford's local history

Share your own memories of Salford and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Add a Memory!

It's easy to add your own memories and reconnect with your shared local history. Search for your favourite places and look for the 'Add Your Memory' buttons to begin

Childhood In Salford
I was born Susan Cooke in no. 11 Quanton House, Amersham Street just of Liverpool Street , in my nana's flat. We lived with her until I was 3 from 1957 to 1960 when we moved to Trenham Street near to where the Salford Macdonalds is now.  I went to Salford Cathedral school, and made my first communion and walked in the Whit Walks from there.  My family used to have their own spot to watch the children in the walks ...see more

Nursing At Salford Royal
I remember starting my nursing training at Salford Royal Hospital 1967 - 1970. from a nervous teenager to a confident nursing sister, I loved the people of Salford and the community. Now living in the US for many years, with a different name, my daughter is now in nursing school. I hope she has as much joy and fun in her chosen career as I did. So many wonderful people. So extraordinary that this hopsital is now a residence - so many ghosts walk those walls.

Langdale House Salford
I lived in Langdale House, Salford. It was a block of masonettes, there were two other blocks on the same road, Patterdale and Ennerdale. We lived on the 3rd floor, overlooking a small play park and a row of tiny one bedroomed bungalows. I went to Mount Carmel school, which was just near Boots The Chemist which was on a corner on Regent Road. We used to walk from Oldfield Road right up to the top of Regent ...see more

Harry Street
My gran lived on Harry Street in the 1960's and early 70's. I remember playing near the Trafford swing bridge and the excitement when it was opened.  Old terraced houses slums by then. Corner shops and the horrible smell from the canal. When Man Utd were at home people would park all over the place!! Burtons ice cream (tasted like brylcream), going up to the shops on Trafford Rd - busy busy.  My dad lived at Sunnyside ...see more

My Early Years In Salford
I was born in Salford, at 15 School Street in 1951. My first school was Stowells Memorial, I think the headmistress was a Miss Dent. There was a butchers shop one the corner with the same name as our family, but I don't think we were related. The little boy who lived there was called David Burgess. I remember rows and rows of terraced houses, all cobbled streets. Our street was a designated Play Street. Pity ...see more
