Boggart Hole Clough

[Gaille]

You are bringing back a lot of forgotten memories for me, i remember going to Boggart hole Clough add a child with my granddad.

 LOL strangely enough i never ventured far from granddad cos I was frightened the boggarts would jump out n get me!
(LOL I was a curious child n asked what Boggart meant once, I should never have asked cos the answer preyed on my mind long after!)

Hi Yvonne

Although I can’t remember your family name I lived not far from you (31 Boggart Hole Crescent) and went to Charlestown Road Infants/primary school

I was about 8 yrs when we left for Australia in 1960, I have been trying for a long time to find any photos of the estate even Manchester council don’t appear to have any

You never know we may have bumped into each other as kids

Cheers…George

We to had to move in about 1960. Think they started to move everybody then. I also have tried to find Photos but can only find ones of the Heaton park prefabs. I went to a school in Blackley village but my friend Adrienne Handley went to the same school as you. I loved living in the prefabs. Happy days

I was just looking at a map of the estate you may have lived over the back fence from me
Depending on the house numbering

Do you remember where in Pollen Close your house was?
Pollen Close continued on from Boggart hole crescent and also a footpath/walkway ran down to Charlestown Rd if that makes sense

Hi George
    I will try to tell you where our prefab was. If you went to the main enterance of Booth hall Hospital and crossed the road you would enter the bottom end of Pollen close. Our prefab was at the top end ( the secnd one along from that end) At number 1 lived the Mountfields  we lived at number 3 and the Westerns at number 5. One prefab at the back of ours had a family called Shepard. Its not easy without a map.
