Once upon a time inSalford Ordsall park near eight dock gate Charlie Camilleris breakfast plates, Men on bikes going to Metrovicks, Johnny Mack brown on the boro flicks. taxi rides from the Clowes, Dockers with cardboard in their shoes, ladies of the night giving their permission, behind the Broadway and Central Mission. Green Buses and Austin cars, The Ship hotel and cross Lane bars, Wally Killens Pies that fed the masses, cheap underwear from GeorgieGlasss. Old prams in a coke yard Queue pint of Wilsons with Billy Donoghue, characters in every street, Clifford Evens and Piccolo Pete. dancing nightly on Regent Road, Freddie Webb, with no fixed abode, All nationalities in the Fox, At closing time you could learn to box. proper drunks on Saturday nights, telephone wires with tattered kites, cobbled streets and horse manure, Rent collectors whose knuckles were sore. Kids playing hopscotch and tickt-it, dirty faced men who worked down the pits, Sunshine in August, Fog in November, A piece of Salford I remember.
