clowes st.: A memory of Gorton

Clowes St.

A Memory of Gorton.

I well remember the bustling metropolise of Clowes St as I was knocked over twice there. The first time by an ambulance circa 1956 (not kidding), then again about 1959. Much more serious. I lived in Edgeley St, off Thomas St and went to Armatige St School. Does anybody remember the Rev Stone who ran the union chapel on Kellsall St ?.

Hello Philip, I know it was a little while since you posted your comment, so I do hope you receive this , as you are EXACTLY the person who might help me. I have for a long time been trying to find out any information on my grans chippy which was on clowes street facing a pub. My gran Mary Collens ran it in the 1950's and my mum and dad moved in when they first got married and helped out for a while. Then gran carried running it alone. Do you remember anything at all about it at all please ? I was only a year old when my gran died. So as I got older ( and older ) I got more curious about her, her lifestyle and the area where she lived. Many many thanks and all best regards. Aundrea
