Those Were The Days

A Memory of Ardwick.

I lived in Wellis Avenue from1968 until 1979 and I think we we were the very last family to leave the flats in Ardwick Green before they wre demolished. We were the Connolly family, Our mam was Lucy and I was the youngest of five children, Mary, Peter, Des, Philip and me, Elizabeth otherwise known as Yo. I remember lots of other families , Bonilla's, Duggans, Quinn's, Collins, O'Connors, Devaney's, Taylors. I have really lovely memories of living in 'the flats' and playing in Ardwick Green Park, also swinging on a rope which was attahed to a crane uner the arches. I was only ten years old when we left, but I will always remember it.
