Salford's past in pictures ..... the exhibition by Phil Portus today

Now when you spend your time writing about the past and in particular the lives of people it is always exciting to come across a project that celebrates the way we lived.

And that is exactly what we have got with "Salford 1977 - 2016" at St Clements Church, Ordsall, Salford.
It arose out of an urban photography project by Phil Portus in the 1970s.*

Phil writes, that "as part of the Heritage Weekend  I'm giving a talk today, Saturday at 2pm. about photographing changes on Ordsall and Langworthy and tracing people I photographed nearly 40 years ago and re photographing them. 

It's been really good talking to people about their memories. 

I have also found out some more names of people I photographed on the 70's and will try to trace them."

So there you have it, Salford 1977-2016 at St Clements', Ordsall, M5 3LQ, as part of the Heritage Weekend.

Location; St Clements Church, Ordsall, Salford.
