Joynson Street, Off Lower Broughton Road

A Memory of Salford.

Born in May 1949 at no. 98 Joynson Street, two up two down,as they all were in them days. Tin bath in the back yard. Open fire in the front room where mam made us toast when we had enough bread. Dad was a warehouseman at Atkinson's mam was a machinist for a Jewish firm in Cheetham Hill.I went to St. Anne's infants on Silk Street then to St Boniface's and finally at St Albert's. I might be the odd one out here but I really loved going to school no matter what the weather threw at us. I remember walking to Bonnies in snow up to my knees. It was a bit scary when it was foggy but go there and back OK. Loads of faded memories, will have to sit down and try to recall and write them on this brilliant site.
