Why Do I Remember Salford
A Memory of Salford.
I have lived all over the world, call myself an Australian and I currently live in Prague. But I was born in Salford and lived there probably till I was about 7 years old. Then we moved to Middleton which was considered quite posh back then! I regularly visited my grandad who lived at 23 Harrietta Street in Higher Broughton.
So it really wasn't a long time, but my memories of this period are amongst my most vivid. There was a fish and chip shop on Garnett Street and you could get chips for 4 pence. I think 'scratchings' were free and how healthy could they have been?? When my grandad won on the horses he'd buy me a posh fish called a plaice.
Anyway, I've started writing all this stuff down. I started with good intentions and made a vow to write a page a day. That was about ten years ago and I think I've managed 12 pages! So what I suggest is, please have a look at it and if you like it, nag me into writing more!
Have a look please -- - - go to www.w-k-smith.com and when you have entered the website you'll see buttons to press down the left hand side of the page. One of these buttons says - My Biography and you can read it from there. There are pictures I've found too.
Wayne Smith - - my Mum's name is Doreen Brookes and she spend her childhood and teens in this area.
