I was born in Crumpsall hospital, like most people in North Manchester.
But lived in Blackley Village not far from the hospital. Their was Boggart Hole Clough, ICI, Connolly's Cables, Crown wallpaper. Just a few I can remember. Totally different now just the Cable work their now. I remember Springfield hospital, did it close in the 80s.
Booth Hall children's hospital closed some years back. It has now been flattened.
