Cannon Street

A Memory of Patricroft.

I remember Mr & Mrs Warrington, (I lived with my aunt and uncle who still live opposite their house) they were a lovely couple. Mr Warrington always dapper in his blazer and Panama hat, puffing on his pipe, he always raised his hat if he saw somebody, and Jean, Mrs Warrington always wore a twin set and pearls. Such a lovely couple, was very sad when they died.
I don't remember the Chinese laundry, long gone when I lived in Cannon Street, but Timms Tools shop on Liverpool Road backed onto Cannon Street and Jean's corner shop on the other side. Used to love watching the annual Pram race along Liverpool Road, which passed the top of Cannon Street, the runners used to throw sweets for us - happy days!!
