When I was a boy I lived in Beswick and went to Central Grammar School for Boys, Gorton. This involved catching a 53 bus down Pottery Lane.
The bus stop was outside a large engineering works on the corner of Ashton Old Road & Pottery Lane, on the Ashton side
I visited last summer, and it had been completely demolished & flattened
Can anyone remember which firm it was, please? I seem to remember that they made diesel engines, but I could be mistaken
