On page two (2) of this post it has a map find Sanderson st follow it up from Queens rd at the top righthand you will see (sch) that is the school, when did they live in live there this street was unusual as it only had house one side as it faced the side elevation of Abindon st at the top and Goglan st at the bottom, as kids we used to play postmans knock on the doors and run down the alleyway opposite the street.

The school is now house's, the sunday school must have been at the junior school on sanderson st, I never heard of a sunday school, the houses in this area were started to be cleared in 1963 onwards, we moved to Heywood to a new estate.we used to have the whitwalks both school were together that must have also been for the girls.

Your welcome, it was a really nice area to live in at the time, new houses were built but it is a very different place now, very deprived in some areas but its not the location but the people who make it was it is.

The houses in barwick street were terraced, walk in off street into the front room, houses were well kept and very clean old but not run down, there are still houses in failsworth that are exactly the same and still occupied now.Logde st Sanderson st and surrounding streets had a lot of bomb damage whole or half streets in some areas , I think they were private landlords for most not sure but I think as it was the corporation took them over and it was just easier to clear them all and offer people news houses in Heywood Hyde Wythenshawe and others.

Hi I am researching my family,  and just by chance spotted your post, the family is Frederick Fenlon and I see you have a reference to a F Fenlon attached in Castle st, do you have anymore information ?. a Jerimiah was born in Mauldlington (?) in 1841 and married a Mary Anne Nolan,
[/quote Hi I'm sorry I don't have any information for you, Jerimiah is my relative  he was quite well travelled he had one son in Yokaharma Japan also another in Natal Africa , they came back to live in Liverpool and moved to Manchester, we are still here, the original spelling was Phenelon but seems to have changed over time, sorry I can't help.
