A Memory of Collyhurst.
I lived in Southern Drive from 1957 until 1968 went to the Albert Memorial junior school
Moved to Cheetham hill in 1968 we hated it and moved back to Malham crescent in 1969
Worked as a paper boy for Bob and Winnie at the local paper shop next to Fanny Rayner and the butcher’s
Loved my time in Collyhurst
Went to the ‘new ‘ Albert school
Went to Collyhurst lads club
Also went to Sharp street ragged school
Run by Alan Mitchell rip
My first pint of beer was drunk in the Sparrow and the second was drunk in the Salvage ( Manhattan)
Spent many a happy day in the sand park next to willert st police station
Also played many a footy game in the welly behind the salvage
Collyhurst forever
