CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
I moved to live in one of the houses shown in the background of this picture around 1964/65.
Rushcroft was a council estate and my father worked in a cotton mill and my mother worked at the Osram mill in town, making lightbulbs.
Shaw was a prosperous thriving place at this time. I lived on Duchess Street, which is illustrated here, until 1971. It was a very happy time for me. It was a simple life but it was good.
Sadly, family life changed dramatically for me following the death of my father in 1971 and I had to move away. I will always look back on these years as the best years of my life, and feel privileged that this very poignant memory has been captured on camera.
