Just saw this particular forum after visiting the one specifically for Manchester Central Grammar SchoolI remember Adrian Hope and his family, they attended St Luke's church Born October 1945 in Crumpsall Hospital and lived for 12 or so years on Shirley Road, opposite the clubhouse. Went to Cheetham Collegiate School before MCGS. Spent my formative years with my cousin Elaine Harrison and friend Adrian Hope foraging around the Cheetham Hill area, from Heaton Park, Crumpsall Park to the Elizabeth St. Playground and everywhere in between. Read some of the earlier blogs - lots of names and places sound familiar but all a little fuzzy now. Currently live in a small country town in Virginia, USA, about as far apart in many ways from Cheetham Hill as you can get!
