Our two photos show the Broughton Hotel on Great Cheetham Street, taken in 1973, and children playing in a den on Basten Street in 1976. These are just two photos from a unique archive of hundreds of shots taken by Stan Horrocks between the 1960s and 2005 featuring scenes of Higher and Lower Broughton, Pendleton and Central Salford. These photos are to be kindly donated in digital format by Stan's step-son, Paul Dyson, to any Salford people who want them. "They are not professional pictures but taken out of interest by a Broughton
man" says Paul "I'm keen to make these pictures available to people who are interested in various streets and buildings in Broughton and elsewhere." Update: 25th June 2021 Please note: This offer is now closed

| Hi everyone, Lived in Nora Street, Salford 7 until I was 17 in 1957 and we moved to a brand new house in Little Hulton.
I went to St Andrews school, leaving in 1951 and going on to Broughton Secondary Modern. Left that school in 1955 and got a job at Ready Radio on Barlow Moor Road.
I'd been training with my Uncle Harry for over a year to repair TV's.
Lasted a week with Ready Radio! In that first week I realised I new moor about the repair of TV's that all of the engineers working there. So when they gave ME a brush to clean the floor I told them where to stick it. I left that night!. |

| I was born in Irwell Street Salford 7 in 1934. I spent the early war years there and the later war years at 15 Church Road Salford 7. Just learned today that the Church of the Ascension burned down in 2017. I spent many school boy hours playing around that church yard, and the school that used to be right along side of it. Later, as a wedding photographer with my brother Bob, from the corner shop on Church Road corner, we photographically covered many lovely weddings at that beautiful church. I now live in Canada, and would love to hear from anyone who lived in lower Broughton through those years. I only wish I am too late to take advantage of the offer of the (Mr. Horrocks lower broughton pictures offer. |

| Hi Adele, your great grandma Grace Emmeline Simpson may have been a younger sister to my grandma Marjorie (Simpson)Crane.
William Nelson Simpson and Emmeline Ellen (Connors) Simpson were my great grandparents. Emmeline died in April 1931 and William died in October 1947.

| Trying to reach Amanda - Nora Black McGovern's daughter. Your Mum knew me as Frances Kinney, that was the name I was always known as. But I really want to get in touch with your Mum. My address is PO Box 230116,Portland, Oregon, USA. My two youngest sisters, Kath and Rosaleen, are living in Florida. My brother Jack, died in 2014. My older sister, Vee, is living in Stockport. I have thought of your Mum so often and often wondered where she might be. This is a wonderful surprise to find your response on this site. |

| Hello Vincent (McCann)
- I remember you, my name is Jackie Wheeler, but I think you would remember my sister Rita more who was a similar age to yourself. How lovely to know that someone else has memories of lovely Yearsley St. Do you remember Tony who also went to the same school as yourself? I try to remember so many of the old neighbours - I was just a kid but loved the play street. Have you any photos that you could share - unfortunately, I have none. My brother Phil is still going and now lives in Higher Broughton.
I have been trying to remember the main street, just off Yearsley St - was it Mount street? You said you had old maps so I guess you would be able to see the street in question. It's so strange as I was only thinking of Yearsly St this morning and I tried to reseach to find the name of that street and up comes all this lovely info related to good old Salford. |

| Reply for Anne Quinn regarding St Sebastian's Class photo. I'd be happy to send you the picture Anne. I'm guessing it's from about 1963. Just let me know where to. Also, let me correct my initial post. Miss Bamping wasn't the Headmistress at all ( as you probably know ). She was the Reception Class Teacher. Miss Rowney was the Headmistress. |

| I wonder if anyone can Remember Mary Hayes, she had a baby boy in 1952. He was christened at St Thomas of Canterbury. Her friend was Elizabeth Kettle. I believe both were in the mother and baby home at Lower Broughton. Mary I think moved to 608 Chorley High Road. If anyone can remember these names, that little boy now 66 would love to hear any info. God bless.

| Hi to Alan Smith,
When did you live in Pine Street?? My GF - Frederick Reeves lived @ 11 Pine Street from about 1949 until his death in 1962 with his partner ......Doris (possibly Maguire). (His 2 previous wives had died, and I think he didn't fancy another marriage) I remember visiting them as a child. Would love to find out more about Doris and her full name. believe that she had a grown up daughter, but she didn't live with them.
Going to email Paul, i hope that he has some photos of Pine Street. I've managed to find an old map of the area |

I found this site and great reads of her youth when searching for John Cooper Clarke. Many of you were at the same school as him, same time as was my Mum. She tells me tales of St andrews school and Sister Geraldine (shut her in a cupboard for laughing amongst other punishments!). she also asked me to ask if any of you remember Dilly Doyle? remembers the Rialto |

All I know about him is that he was known as Cyril Humphries not sure if it’s spelt differently he use to sing in the pubs and clubs in and around Salford and his stage name was Gary Lane again the surname may have been spelt different. I have a feeling that he may have passed but I would love more than anything in the world to have a picture of him so I can say that’s my dad. Never met him but I know I love him.

All very long gone obviously like everything else.
I saw this in The Salford Star when checking out the sad demise of The Ascension Church and wonder if you have anything from around Pine Street or re The Ascension school which I attended.
My mother is Salford born and bred so any pics would be greatly appreciated.

I recently caught up with George Dowson who lived in Mulgrave St at number 3 I think. I moved to NZ in 1965, still here. Been back to UK a few times over the years but just don't fancy the long plane flight these day's. Nice to hear from some one who remembers me. |

| Hi Marjorie, who was your Mum, we moved in to West Wilton Place about 1950 had she moved by then? West Wilton Place had about 11 houses each side, even numbers had lobby's, cellars and skullerys and the backs faced backs of shops on Cross Lane. Odd numbers backs faced backs of houses of Myles St which only had this one side and they faced wall of the railway sidings. At the end was Kirkham St just one side of houses that faced the end of West Wilton and they backed the back of shops on Liverpool St. Jo St was the wee side St beside the side of the Carrlton cinema. Wilton St was the St the other side of the cinema and between the Nor West pub. The railway wall went from Liverpool St all around to the rail bridge on Cross Lane |
