Hello my fellow Mancunians
I am looking for any information on Hannah Street, in Collyhurst, my Aunt is now 85 and can tell me every surname on the street in and around the 1940's - 50's. She lived opposite a Pub which had three names, locally it was known as Barnesy's, over the door the landlords name was displayed as and etched in the windows was the name The Queens Arms. I would love to be able to get hold of a photograph of this Pub to show her.
She also remembers the corner shop being owned and ran by Pat Dunhoo which was short for Pat O'Donohue, he and his wife Dolly had a late licence so it was open until 10pm, Pat & Dolly was essential to the community as he dispensed all the rationed food.
If you have any links to Collyhurst in that time please drop me a line to share your memories.
Thanks
