Hi Sue

Sorry I have digressed from your posting, only for a minute  ;)

Hi Tony

Which one is you? http://www.gortonmonastery.co.uk/diary.html  ;D Only just realized you are involved with this magnificent building - Have always looked up when passing - Sent a few quid to help in the restoration.

Regards
Ken

Hi Ken,
No, i'm not in the photo, my name is on another page, with photos of staff but my photo is not there. You know how it is, if my pic was there people would know what i look like, and then i'd be constantly stopped for autographs and such like ;D ;D ;D

The website is looking a bit tired after 10 years and the new one will be launched in next days or weeks - i might make a personal appearance then :)

And some praise for you Ken, i keep an eye on the Manchester traffic on this site and when i see a North Manchester, Manchester or Lancashire topic i think 'i'll take a look at that later' only to return a few hours later to see Kenhar has beaten me to it with maps, photos and the favourite meal of the rellie being sought ;D You are mine of information so keep up the good work. You do seem to have a talent with maps/photos. I'll send the approx location of where i think 190 Hyde Road pre 1960 would be and perhaps you can help pinpoint it for Sue.

And if you're passing in the next few weeks, don't look up but pop in. I'd be honoured to show you our treasure, lovingly restored. Advisable to give me a quick call beforehand to ensure i'll be on hand to tell you it's fascinating story and my search for the fabulous friars who created it.

Best wishes
Tony

Just stumbled on this  :)

Oh Migky, those photos take me back - not to the 20s mind  ::)  I remember us going by train to Manchester (Exchange - change at Chester), then walking up to the bus stop just off Piccadilly (via Lewis's, of course)  and getting the bus to my Aunty's in Hyde. This would have been the late 40s and the 1950s.

It was so exciting - all those houses and signs painted on the sides of houses, and passing Belle Vue and then arriving at Hyde - I think the bus stop was opposite the Town Hall.

Thanks for the lovely piccies

Regards
