Salford
A Memory of Salford.
I was born and bred in Salford in 1942 on Littleton Road, the first thing I remember was the flooding of the River Irwell and then queuing for Canadian Aid at Kersal Cells with my mum, we got a home made quilt in lovely shades of green!!! and I remember it was over the bed that my sister and slept, I went to Lower Kersal school and then Broughton Modern, but left Salford when I was 17, but I can honestly say I had the happiest childhood that I could have wished for, in the school holiday we were left to our own devices and Drinkwater park was a must!!! I also remember after the war the barrage balloon that was on Littleton Road field and men parachuting out I think they were American but not sure. I have been back to Salford about 8 years ago to have a look at the house and area that I was born in, but it has changed and didn't "feel" the same, but the memories I have and the happy childhood will stay with me
