Where do i start
Well as they here goes born in Hulme in 1935 i think it was in Caroline st but so sure nowadays aloso lived in Bristol St Fenn ST upper Medlocck Booth st as you can se i was moved here there and every where due to the fact i had no real home during the war years but it did me no harm
feel the need to write as i can see lots of Ex Hulme people on her but ala no one seems to foolw up and fill in many many gaps
such as
they buses of yester year that i was a conductor like the one onthe opening namely the 80 than ran from Alexander park to (at my time ) Piccadilly the 45 46 47 48 that ran from Piccadilly to Stretford .Sale ..Sale moor
and Altringham
the tram that ran up Jackson St which i just remember being so young
How about the messy River Irwll and the rubbish that used to be thrown into it how about the Greengate and Irwell rubber Co that you could smell for miles day and night
how about the SMOG era so thick one had to use the walls to find ones way home
come on people start the ball rolling
Many Regards Tommy

Yes John, I've got 3 brothers, Jim, Michael & Anthony.
Thanks Maxine for remembering the name of the show,

Mrs Trainer was the name of my next door neighbour and
I remember her throwing the water on the landing to soak us.
Ha Ha!! fun times.

Hi Pete
The Saturday morning T.V. show we used to queue up for was called 'Get Set for Summer' You can see some of it on youtube. I remember we would all plan going down the day before and would get in most weeks.Remember getting loads of autographs. I remember when we used to siton the ramp having a laugh and that miserale old woman who lived next door to you would throw water on the landing so it would go down the hole and wet us!

Hello
we are working on a DIY people's history of Hulme, its part of the Single Cell Collectives Finding Zion event, it is NOT aiming to be an official or definitive history more a collection of
stories that have contributed to making Hulme what it is today and a DIY ramble around the area. Do have any tales you would like to see woven into our walk? Or are you an actor / musician / story teller or artist of any kind that would like to perform on the day (7th March 2010) If so please get in touch by email loiter@hepzombie.co.uk

Hi Pete, Great to hear from you. I remember that summer very well, it was boiling!. Didn't you have a couple of brother's as well and I remember your mum also. When I look back at those days we really did have great days and wish I could go back to re-live them all over again.

Hi guys,
It's been great reading these posts. It brings back some fantastic memories.
To John: I remember going on your veranda in the summer of 76, with you & Dean.
We blocked up the hole and your mam (Dot), poured freezing cold water over us several times.
This really cooled us down.
To Maxine: I remember us playing Kingsy, rallyvo, and kick-can.
Your brother Jeff used to always win at doing kick-ups.
To Kelvin: I remember my 1st party was at yours. My mam made me ware a shirt & tie,
she even brylcreamed my hair. I enjojed the party but what an absolute idiot I looked.
To Baz P: I remember us going on our bikes around the triangle grass and balacing on the fences.
I remember having lots of fun going to North & South Hulme addy's, going to the Tuesday club at
St. Wilf's, sneakin' into the BBC on Oxford road on some Saturday mornings and being a member
of the audience for the "Fun Factory" (at least I think it was called that), climbing on top of the
lifts and then working them manually.
Yep, lots of brilliant memories of those days and all my old mates.

Anyone remember Spinners Arms and a guy called Charlie/Madoo Ranking???
Discovered this site after discovering some old vinyl....I found a couple of 12" I was given by a guy we used to know from the Spinners-he called himself Charlie, though his stage name was Madoo Ranking. He had a girlfriend and a young kid at the time but I cant remeber for the life of me what she and the kid were called.
Well Charlie/Maddo had a gig coming up and asked a couple of my mates, who were bouncers, to actually work the doors for him at a gig in Hulme -though I can't remember where--it was a hilarious night-we were the only white faces in there and Charlie had asked my two mates to wear the full bouncer get up-white shirt, black tie & suit (well it was the 80's). They dropped the jackpot on the fruit-machine and spent the rest of the night thinking that we were gonna get turned over!
Great memories, I remember a whole cast of characters from the Spinners Arms.
The names 'Sticks,' 'Basha' and 'CJ' stick in my head.
Just remember what the landlady said, 'Deal with me first before you deal with them!'
After a shooting, and I'm sure a car got rammed into the place I think it was shut down!
