A Little Girl's Memory Of The Pauldens Fire

A Memory of Hulme.

Hiya. I watched Palden's burn down, stood next to my grannie Nellie. We were standing at the corner of Humamby Avenue, near City Road, Hulme, where my family lived. From about a mile away you could see the awful fire rage through the store and I remember the clock melting and falling. I was about 4 then. I was born in 1952 so am wondering if the fire happened around 1956.
