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

Dow St, Salford 7
I lived many years in Dow St., Salford. My earliest memories are that of playing in the street with my friends, games which are long forgotten now, like hopscotch, 2 ball or maybe 3 if you were able enough, roller skating, whip and top, and making all lovely patterns on the top with the chalk. Many happy times playing until mother would shout you in for bedtime. The corner shop was forever handy for that bag of ...see more

Cooke Street Brewery Chapel Street Salford
Hello I am putting together a history of Cook/Cooke Street, Salford as a member of the Salford Archaeology and History Society, where the Threlfalls Brewery was situated. I have looked at old maps which show houses on both sides of Cooke Street and some that show houses only on the left side of the street. I wonder if anyone who lived there or worked at the brewery could share some of their memories. I would be very grateful for any information you could help me with. Pat Ellis
