Regent Road

A Memory of Salford.

I was born in Salford, but in 1936. My grandparents lived in a street just off Regent Road called Comus Street. My grandfather was in charge of a factory that made tallow and soap.
I worked early in my life at Hope Hospital and did Lab. Work for the Clinic on Regent Road. The pubs were great and my pals and myself would come down and have a great time, I remember "The Fox " in particular and was it the " Woodbine"?
My wife remembers shoppping and mainly at Landes clothing store, she says it was great.
Good times, 1950's & 60's. I would love a book when it's published.

My Dads family owned Barton's Pork Butcher shop. It was Bergen Woolworths and the British Home Stores. Anyone remember it?
Are there any photos of Regent Road in the 40s and 50s?
Hi, Billy’s grandson and Stuart’s son here :)
