Moss Side Great Western St

A Memory of Moss Side.

I'm Michael Hewitson. I lived in Caythorpe Street from 1945-1968. The area was in those days a caring, close community. The 'rec' opposite my street was where I learned to play bowls. The 'parkies' policed the park with great aplomb but with compassion. It was 6d to play and hire bowls and jack for an hour and I became quite good. The 'parkies' saw this and in time my fee was waived and they let me play free - good men. Two teams played at the 'rec', Great Western and Moss Side.
