I remember the 'Hut'on Park Road, we used to walk the length of the field to get to the Railway station at Trafford Park and also to get to 'Metros' Fun Day all good fun and many happy memories Do you remember Peter Doyle and his Brother ? he was born 1947 and lived just up from your house towards the roundabout., also there was the Bromleys (Billy) and several others that all went to Vicky Park School.
Thankd yr comments I used to be a paper boy Barlows as well the little hut news/sweet shop I lived two doors from it.
and I remember the Bromleys very well on park road, do you remember the post office an coblers an grocers an chippy with a room at the back where you can have chips an fish used to go in there an have some think to eat, do you remember the gas works along that field they bused to store gas pipes under the bbridge hallways down.did you know the Leggotts an the Kays an the Norths on Davyhulme road , an thinking back it was fiveways at the roundabout til they blockded off Melville road an raglan road ,the shops still there but post office is now flats an the coblers is now a delhi the grocers is now a off licence an the chippy still there, when I was a kid barton road was all fields just the massey ferguson tractor factory was there now its all built up shame all tjose fields gone an built on. what school did you go I went to moss park an then gt stone road an that's gone now its pc world everythink changed
