Now I am having difficulty locating Garfield Street which was off Trafford Road.
I know it was there because sometime after September 26 1917 Mr and Mrs Lewis received a picture postcard from the Western Front.
It is a beautifully written message which draws attention to the Cathedral on the other side of the card “Hopes this finds you in the best of health, thanking you for the good wishes you so kindly sent in the letter.”
It was signed Jim and I rather think the surname was Elliot but so far I haven’t been able to locate either Jim or Mr and Mrs Lewis and Garfield Street.
Location; Salford
Picture; picture postcard, 1917 from the collection of David Harrop

I had relatives at 11 Garfield Street I thought it was off Cross lane
