Churchill Street Corner Shop

A Memory of Ardwick.

I was born in 1948 over a corner shop in Churchill Street. We moved away before I was 2 years old, due to my bad health. My parents were William Brierley (who worked at Frodshams, Grosvener Road) and Mary Conlon. My only recorded memory is a photo where I'm pushing a pram (which I filled with coal) ... and am in the company of our dog Rover. It is strange not to know any more about the place, as the whole area has disappeared.
