Bowles Shop

A Memory of Collyhurst.

Does anyone remember Elsie Bowles [my great auntie}, she ran a shop from the converted front room of her terrace house on Fitzgeorge Street, Collyhurst, her mother opended the shop in the early 1900s. Her sister was my grandmother Catherine who married Alfred Vowers, they lived on the top part of Smedley Road next door to my other grandparents, Amy and Matthew Stainton. Catherine had several siblings, two sisters Frances and Rebbeca lived on Alma Street near Queens Road, one brother David was a knocker up in the area, I would welcome any comments.
