SALFORD LOST STREETS
|
Star date: 10th September 2010
SALFORD STREETS MUSEUM
Over 1500 streets have been demolished in Salford over the last fifty years and the communities dispersed. Now a new museum dedicated to the city's lost streets has opened online to preserve memories through family snapshots, films, objects and oral histories.
The Salford Streets Museum is a result of loads of work done in the community by the ReTracing Salford team and their latest exhibition happens this Saturday 11th September as part of Heritage Open Day at the Chapel Street and Hope United Reform Church.

A-Z of Lost Streets
The online Salford Streets Museum has been directly inspired by the District Six Museum in Cape Town. This South African museum is dedicated to people chucked out of their houses by the apartheid system to make way for new housing and office complexes as the city expanded. One of those in charge of the expulsions was told to throw all the old street signs into the river but instead he kept them and kept the memories of that community alive.
Similarly, in Salford, the ReTracing team have been collecting street signs from the city's demolished streets and asking those who lived in them to help preserve memories by donating family snapshots, old films, objects and their oral memories of where they used to live. Now many of those photos and memories are filed online in an A-Z of Lost Streets. You just click on a street name and see who pops up. There's also a growing sound archive on there. Everyone is invited to add to it and there's contacts on the site.
ReTracing Salford has really reached out to the community and has had info gathering days everywhere from Ordsall to Langworthy, together with exhibitions at Salford Museum and Art Gallery plus in lots of unusual venues like the Cornerstone and Salford Lads Club.
The team's latest exhibition is in Chapel Street this Saturday at the Hope United Reform Church – just near the old Salford Arms pub. It runs 12-4pm, is a repeat of last year's popular Heritage Open day exhibition, and everyone is invited to have a look around, bring stuff in or just have a chat about Salford's lost streets.
Meanwhile, the Streets Museum is open 24hours a day, 7 days a week online at www.streetsmuseum.co.uk

| My aunt and uncle , Elizabeth (Betty) Beardmore had an off licence in Salford 5 near the Derby Hotel , Derby Street.
Does anyone know the name of the street where the off licence was situated in the 1940s ; and of course Betty Beardmore.
My grandparents , John and Catherine Beardmore managed the Derby Hotel Public House .in the 1940s . I loved staying at the pub, as a child . These names mean anything to anyone .

| I lived in Allen Street (No 7) in 1956 and went to St Johns school. Our neighbours I think my mums friend was called Gladys and her son and my friend was Micheal and one of the daughters was Margret. There was a pub on the corner of Allen Street. I also remember when the University of Salford was being built. We moved from there to Walkden and then to Little Hulton. My gran parents lived on Bury New Road, Cliff Grange just by the garage, where I spent a good part of my childhood. would love to hear from anyone who remembers AllenStreet or St Johns school. |

| I grew up in Salford and lived in Silk Street from 1935 to 1957 when I got married and moved to Stockport. I attended St Ann's school off Silk Street until Standard 3 when we moved up to Standard 4 at St John's school in 1940. I was amazed yesterday to find a picture of my old St Ann's class, with me in it, taken about 1938 when we would have been about 7 or 8 years old. I now live in Australia and would love to hear from anybody who attended either of my old schools. |

| Mavis Hooley - I too am looking for Binn Street... can't find it anywhere on the old maps. My Great Aunt Nell Allwright lived there for years. I remember going as a kid - think they were back to back houses, so perhaps were very small streets. Think in might have been nr High st/Coomassie St. |

| With regards to Pat Rivington's comments on 10/12/12. I'm sure I know you Pat. I've only just come across your message on this 'Salford Lost Streets' site. My way home from St. Ambrose's School would have been the same as yours - out of the school into Blodwell St., then Brown St. and eventually into Langworthy Rd. We then crossed Eccles New Rd. into South Langworthy Rd. and then turned right up the ginnel, which used to be the 'hidden' gardens, a shortcut which lead up into New River St! I would then continue on up into Darwen St. as I lived in Povah's 'Off-Licence', right at the bottom of that street, on the corner with Kirkham St!! Played guitar with 'Phil' in his shop (top of Kirkham St and Eccles New Rd.). Worked on his House in 1960 when I was an apprentice to Eddie Hall, based in Derby Rd. I'm the son of 'Albert Pover' the well known Pendleton boxer from the 1920's/30's. The Off-Licence passed from my parents to his brother 'Sam'. He held the tenancy for a further ten years. People came from all over Weaste to saviour the good 'draft' Threlfalls Ale's that were on offer!! |
