Derby Street, Lower Broughton, Salford 7
A Memory of Salford.
I lived in Derby Street, Lower Broughton from my birth in 1944 until we moved to Little Hulton in 1954. I remember the Coopers living there too, Billy and Garry Cooper. They lived a few doors away from the couple I called Aunty Betty and Uncle Bob whose surname was Holden. Next door to us were the Jordan's; Ronnie, who I didn't really know cos he was in the army, Tommy, Peter and Lynne. Next door to them were the Whalleys, related to the Jordan's, and next door to them the Mateers. Jean Mateer was older than me and I have it in my mind that her father was some kind of lay preacher! Could be entirely wrong about that though! In my family I had my mother Anne, my father John, my eldest brother Teddy (who died in a road accident on Sussex Street in 1954) my brother John, me, my brother Kevin, my sister Kath and, after we moved, my brother Chris. Hope you remember us.
