Best Days

A Memory of Gorton.

I was at Peacock Street School and I loved it. I had a good friend called Gloria Gibbson, I was so shocked when I went back about 3 years ago, I didn't know the place, but it all came flooding back, how we used to play on the old mill and when we went swiming at Gorton baths, we used to call in at the ice cream parlour, what was it called? And we used to go to the bird cage over the railway, and to cookery at Oldhall Drive School, that was when I went to St James School. I loved Bellevue on a Sunday night with Jimmy Saville at the top ten, oh great days.

Hi Christine, we used to do the same, go for a swim at Gorton baths and then went to Sivori's ice cream parlour for a hot oxo or bovril. Great times! I've moved away now but my sister still lives near Sunny Brow Park in the old family home.
