Church Street

A Memory of Eccles.

In 1955 I was only 3, but I remember Church Street well , as my Mum and my Grandma shopped there every day, taking me in my pram. In those days, prams were large and people were more trusting, so babies would be left on the pavement whilst mothers went in to shops (!)
Apparently I liked to keep an eye on my relatives, so , left outside Woolworths , when a man came out and closed the door behind him, I sang out, "Open the door, Richard", ( words from a popular song) making everyone laugh.
