Memories of Salford 7: A memory of Salford

Memories Of Salford 7

A Memory of Salford.

I was born in Hope Hospital in 1946 and lived at number 2 Arm Street, Salford 7. I went to Grecian Street school and every Sat. me and my friends used to go to the Tower picture house - it was 6p to get in and 3p for an Orange Maid lolly. After that we would all go to Albert Park to play on the swings. As a treat my dad would take me and my mum to the Priary pub, I loved it there. Oh happy days.....
