I concur - rolling then. Mugging now. Although they were always asleep LOL I am learning much about my own history as a result of finding this thread. I realised that the large mill must have been Ancoats Mill but it was owned at some time by Butterworths - so that's what we called it. When we moved to Aston Avenue in Fallowfield, I carried on with my lucrative 'career' as we were a good walk from Man City's old ground Maine Road. So people would park in the avenue and we'd mind their cars. If they didn't pay us up front or shooed us away (or worse) when we asked as they parked, they suffered a little 'damage'. Next time they paid up. Nice to keep their wipers and wing mirrors in good order. We simply took the money, cleared off until match end, then stood by the cars as they returned to them and thanked them for their business.
