Thanks MancsMan. I have found an old map and located the Recreation Ground you spotted. That looks to be the place with the River Medlock, it seems, running underneath the park. I'll have a traipse down there to have a look. Pity about the industrial estate.

Thanks Eric. I was only five-years-old when we left the area so my memories are a bit hazy. But I can remember going to watch the Bank Meadow football team with my grandad - I can even remember that we won 9-1! I think the park was very close to Pin Mill Brow and the name Bungo Park may have been an abbreviation of Bunghole Park, so it may have had something to do with drainage of the Medlock.

Hello, I am new to this wonderful site and I was just wondering whether anyone remembers a place called Bungo Park in Ardwick. My family moved out of Lime Bank Street around 1970 when the street was demolished during the slum clearance programme. I was very young but I have a vivid memory of being taken to watch my school football team (the original Bank Meadow) play football at this park. I have walked around the area recently but have been unable to find it. I presume it no longer exists, but does anyone know exactly where it was?
