Family In Firswood Area 1912 1980
A Memory of Firswood.
In 1938 my grandfather moved from Oakfield Avenue nearby to 39 Ryebank Road when he bought a newly built semi-detached house for the princely sum of £800! My dad was then 27 and had the same first name as his dad. Very useful having his name on the title deeds when the old man died!
Ryebank Road is off Seymour Grove and goes through to Longford Park.
We moved in in 1959. At one time, our family GP lived just around the corner in Erlington Avenue. He just happened to be the Manchester United retained team doctor and for a while Pat Crerand lived opposite him in a three bed semi, owned by the club. When Pat moved on, another United player moved in -- ex-Arsenal Ian Ure.
