i worked on the jnk and m6 in1971-3 as a auto electrician maintaning the trucks nd plant for douglas plant.i worked day and night. the money was very good but not a lot of it, one day being exhausted i went to thr loo and slept 24 hour in there lol.what a great job and gang of blokes.Pedrocut, my husband was just telling me about the Irish workers when I opened your post. Really interesting, thank you.
and it wasl full of rabbits, too we had a field day as kids catching and floging them .you could cut through and come out in aston church rdThere was an enormous sewage farm to the east of Salford Bridge, where sewage was spread on fields. this was developed from 1865. The purchase of esome of the land is mentioned in the 150 years thread recently. When treatment methods improved and bacterial filtration was introduced in 1898, the area was considerably reduced.

Thanks Everyone, that sounds more likely to be muck doesn't it? I'd forgotten about the sewage farm and yet my Gt Uncle Edward worked there in the early part of the 20thC. He died from typhoid caught there. He was only in his 20's and left a widow and small daughter.
