Cavendish St

I lived on Ordsall Lane until I was 6, the part called the Asphalt. I also went to Ordsall Board school from 1949 - 1952 I think. My teacher was Miss Hardisty. Went to the Boro and Dominian with my Gran. Was in the Whit Walks from the Salford Dock Mission. It was on New Park Rd opposite the Park. I can't find any record of it now. I still visited and stayed there at my Gran's. until she died in 1960. The Bonfires were held in Gurner St. for us and I remember a rocket going into someones house, they had left the door open.
