Jackson Boat Platt Fields
A Memory of Stretford.
I too remember Jackson's Boat. Living off Derbyshire Lane in Stretford, we would make the mammoth walk down the canal to Jackson's Boat on a Sunday and have a drink sat outside, then walk all the way back. At Platt Fields, now the M60!!, we would 'fish' for newts and frogs and carry them home carefully, put them in a tank and looked after them in the garden. My sister and I used to have newt 'races', and mine always won!! I too don't EVER remember being scared of walking about even though there was often no-one in sight and we had to walk near to a HUGE electricity pylon. The only way I can travel these routes now is in my car on the motorway!! Not half as healthy, or interesting.
