Long Gone But Not Forgotten.

A Memory of Collyhurst.

The day I was born,1942 Bright Street off Reather Street. I remember Osborn St wash house, went with Mam. I also remember a pub next street to ours called Blue Bell. I went in there for a pint of mild at the age of seven and was served - for an old lady who were bed riden. I used to get my ice cream from Carlo's, top of Reather St. Went to Abbott St school, my Headmaster Mr Warbington. I have too many memories, even my first love, a girl at the time, Rose Conway.
