When we were young the old Strangeways colliery site was one of our many pit wastelands we played on,just like you probably did Chris.With regards to Strangeways Hall Farm I can remember going inside the main farmhouse and the little cottage annexe and even by the poor standard of housing down the Lump these were absolute squalor.I too have looked and asked for photos of the farm with no luck but have a clear picture in my mind of the farmhouse and its buildings.The German pow who lived in the farm was called Henry,a nice man.I wonder if anyone remembers him.
