I'm following up on the post about the Salvation Army hospital in Ancoats. Quite late, sorry. Anyway, I was born there in 1947. Can't believe it was still going in the 60s with all that regeneration starting! I'm back living in England after 40-odd years in America. My old stomping ground (Albert Street) in what was Ardwick, and now appears to be Beswick has changed beyond recognition. Did anyone go to Nansen Street Primary School?
