Childhood Days

Hough Green, Liverpool Road c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Having moved several times as a child we were offered our first council house on the new estate in Hough Green, we were one of the first families to move into Phillip Road and I can remember my late mother saying it looked like a palace. It was their home for many years. I went to St Bede's Primary School before at 13 years of age moving to St John Fisher and St Thomas More Secondary Modern. I left school in 1960. If anyone reading this can remember me please use this site as a means on communication. Some of the older generation may remember a young mascot for the 'Chemics', now known as the Vikings rugby league team around the early 1950s.
