My Young Days

A Memory of Stretford.

I grew up near 7 ways circle between 1950 & 1962. We lived on Derbyshire avenue, I went to Moss Park junior school then to Gorse Hill senior school. I remember my mom working at Rowans green grocery shop & me going to the sweetie shop next door, ration coupons in hand. My dad could be found in the Melville pub most times.Many fond memories. I emigrated to Canada in 1974 with my wife Janet & our two children.

Comments & Feedback

I went to school with Alan Hazelhurst, first to Moss Park and then to Gorse Hill. We lived at 7 Derbyshire Avenue, a house that was eventually condemned because of mining subsidence. I moved to Vancouver, Canada in 1969 and then to Rochester, New York in 1970. I am now retired and live on the coast of Maine. I have fond memories of the 'top shops' and playing in the passage behind the shops (the entry.)
