Hi Chucka, just a quick effort.

Hi Jean, I spent many a happy hour in Salford park with my mates watching the hydroplanes on race days, we used to like to watch them put the boats in the water down the concrete ramp in the far corner of the reservoir ,without a shadow of a doubt it was Salford park, happy days. Brian

Hi Alf, I think this is the Brittania pub you mention, still there but has been shut for about four years or more, shame. Brian

Right on the button Lencops, the picture IS of the Waggon & Horses as you can see from these two pics, I knew I had seen that picture somewhere, the second pic is of the outside of the pub complete with petrol pump. Brian still looking for replacement images

That's exactly what I thought Chris, you've just got Taylors in that one. remember that conversation we had the weekend. scary!

Hi Suze, is this what you are looking for, W.M.Taylors & Sons Ltd is the building on the right with the arched windows. My wife worked there for about three years up untill they closed. Brian
