Princess Street Platt Fields

A Memory of Hulme.

I lived with my mother and grandad in Princess Street, Rusholme and went to Holy Trinity Infant School. We used to play in Platt Fields which was only at the bottom of our street. My friends were Alma Lynch, Ann Collins, who had three brothers. We had two corner shops and "Lens Greengrocers". I used to be a "Paper Girl" from the newsagents in Walmer Street, next door to the "chippy". The church I also attended was the "McLaren Memorial People's Institute". I went on to attend Claremont Road Secondary School for Girls almost next door to the City Ground "Maine Road". I am still in touch with Alma, but other friends have disappeared - is there anyone out there who remembers me ? We were very poor but turned out well I think. Been married for 48years now and have two sons and four grandchildren.
