I Remember Firs Hall

A Memory of Failsworth.

I remember Firs Hall, I lived on Oldham Road next to the Brown Cow pub, our house was 303a. It was this number because it apparently used to be part of the house next door and so when it was made into two they could not re-number the whole road so we got an 'a' after our number. I also used to play in the air raid shelter just like Jaques and I remember the brilliant bonfires we used to have in "the backin" as we used to call it, all the mums used to make food hot pot and parkin and toffee and the dads let off fireworks, good good days they were.
