It's a pity there's not a better view of the car behind, which I think is a Corsair.
the car is a ford consul
On closer examination, I think the car is called a Consul.
Margaret if you are opposite your house in photo then you must have known Louis, she had hairdressers on corner and was Andy and Bryns mum?
I live in Manley Street directly opposite these houses, i didn't know there were houses facing us, it is a monument now and a couple of benches, the house on the corner of Bryn Street looks exactly the same now as it did in 1963.
Manley Street,i lived there but higher up at number 50,next to the shop,Bryn Street was a bit higher up than this picture,we had a big bonfire on the spare land every year,I had started work in 1962 and we had just moved house from Manley Street to Sherbourne Place were i lived till getting married.
Ruth, I was born at number 12 Manley Street and lived there until 1977. Our row of houses were probably pulled down in the early 1980's. We always thought that your houses across the road from us were posh because they were garden fronted and our front step was on the pavement.
I remember Louis she did my mums hair Dorothy Hickey, I remember both Andy and Bryn attending Westwood Methodist Church, they would rugby tackle each other in the aisle before the start of the service,
I remember all of the people mention remembered going in the swan with your dad George .I lived in Winifred street
my grandma and granddad (mary ann & Giles Lowe), brought up their family in Winifred street (no 63) they lived there during ww2 and my gran told me stories of her time there. my granddad died there in 1944.a neighbour on one side was Mrs Jennions. my brother Bill (sharpe) was born there in 1946. (all a long time ago) but my gran died in 1971 and for all of my childhood I spent as much time in lower ince as I did in pemberton and recognise many of the children from the walking day pictures of westwood chapel through the 50's and 60's.
Margaret I remember you I lived in the corner house of Bryn st/Manley st
I lived in the corner house in Bryn st. The bonfire was on the spare ground in front of the house. Happy days. There is a facebook page for ince and spring view people.
