Remind me where Oxford Street was? I was born (1955) and bred in Old Trafford, lived there until I was 14 on Prestage Street where Duerrs Jams was.

Hi Pete
It was one of the streets tucked away sort of behind the Sharon church
Oxford street,duke street etc.

Hope that helps x

Oh yes, opposite the new flats (as was then, mid 60's ish) on Chorlton Road.

Not far yes.
I moved from Oxford street at 11 to Osprey court,now I found out last night that has gone too.

How sad!!

Why is it called the Sharon church?

So true, take a look at the 'Where did you work in Manchester?' thread - you may recognize some names

I left Manchester when my Mum passed away in 1979 but thank you,I will take a look

That was so kind of you,and I confess it brought some tears.
I have wished so many times that I could just see it again,where I lived.
This is the closest I have gotten so far,I remember it well
It is brilliant,thanks again
