Alma St

A Memory of Collyhurst.

I was born in No 27 Alma St in September 1944 My Father’s name was Thomas and my mother’s name was Sarah. I went to St Malachys, I left December 1959. I remember the paper mill at the bottom of the street, down by the river Irk. My Nan lived at No 6 Beacher St. The families I remember were the Smiths, Jones, Hatton, and Malone’s there dad was the manager of the Astor Picture House. Also my mate Jeff Materson, who was going into the army with me but backed out at the last minute, they moved out to Irlam near the Petro Chemical Plant.
