I stayed in lodgings in Timperley in 1966 in a small cul-de-sac called South Meade. I had to find accommodation as I was transferred from London to work at the Bank of England's branch in Manchester and by chance the hotel that I found for my first couple of weeks was in Timperley - am easy train ride to the city...

Cheshire memories
I lived above the shop at 18 Railway St., which is visible just past the lamp post, from 1952 to 1961. At that time it was a branch of MacFisheries, where my father was the manager. Next to it looking down the road was Brookes & Wilkinsons' Tripe Shop & next to this on the corner of Railway St. & Regent... [more]

The large corner "shop" on the left was the showroom of North West Gas where you could pay your gas bill. This is now Dawsons music and instrument shop.
The corner shop on the right was Hawkins tailors, on two floors. This is now a MacDonalds restaurant.

I believe that the building in the right foreground with the spire is Eustace G.Parker's, where I was an apprentice watchmaker from 1965.

I was 8 in 1950 and often walked from my house in Brindley Avenue near Dane Road Station to School Road. On the way I would pass the bombed out wereckage of St. Paul's church at the corner of Waverley, and Dargle. I didn't understand Latin writing then and always called it Saint Pavis's because of the latin 'V' for... [more]

I am uncertain about the precise date. During the bombing of Trafford Park a stray bomber, probably with a stick of bombs stuck in the bomb doors, released a stick accross School Road up to the Town Hall. The bomb rack wrecked the front wheel of my fathers bike as he was riding it ! The Wardens... [more]

I also remember the town hall fire during the blitz. At that time the fire station was just behind the town hall and I understand that all the fire engines were deployed elsewhere during the night of the bombing. The story that circulated was that a team of air raid wardens with a stirrup pump were sent to put... [more]

Extracts From Timperley & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Timperley, inspired by Frith photos.
Monton had been a separate village until the incorporation of Eccles, when it was taken under the new council's wing. Monton Green is also the name of the road in our photograph. Behind the photographer is the very large Broadoak Park, home of the Worsley Golf Club; the short road leading to the clubhouse is called Stableford Avenue. Like the other areas of Eccles and Salford, Monton likes to keep its own identity.

The dome of the Infirmary is on the left, and Lewis's tower is in the centre. On Tuesday 1 September 1908, a large crowd gathered here to watch about one hundred patients being moved out of the Infirmary. Horse-drawn ambulances, taxi cabs, flat wagons, and even a horse bus were used to convey the patients down to the new Royal Infirmary on Oxford Road. Only... [more]
