Lower Broughton Road

A Memory of Salford.

I was born in Elton Street, Lower Broughton Rd. I remember my dad was always working and my mum was a loving mum. I had two sisters and four brothers. I remember the tin bath, the outside toilet, we didn't have much but we were all fed well and clean and well loved. I went to St Clements school. I remember Fred Windsor, Paul Peacock and my friend Elizabeth Howels. I remember bonfire night, every family would all get together and share fire works. The corner shops would bring sweets to us children. You could leave your door open and me and my brothers and sisters could play down the entries and on crofts. Life has changed so much but I have happy memories of my childhood, watching my mam brown stone the step so it looked nice, my family name was Bevan.
