Happy Times In Collyhurst

A Memory of Collyhurst.

I was born in Windsors Street, Collyhurst in 1950. I went to St Oswald's School and also walked with St James Sunday School. I remember Pop Henson, he married my mam & dad. I remember the docs Davey, Duguid and Walker, they were good docs. The surgery moved later to Whitley Road, it is still there now, new docs of course. I remember Brennans herbalist at the top of the steps on Rochdale Road, Kinseys hardware shop, Kellys paper shop near the chippy and Osbourne baths. My mam and dad used to sup in the Swan pub and the Locamotive. I also remember going to Christmas parties at Sharp Street Ragged School. Happy memories, happy days.
