Now I am fairly confident that this picture of Camp Street will not chime with many people.
It is still there, running from Deansgate down to Lower Byrom Street, but the properties which stretched along it, and the streets to the south which included Severn Street and Eltoft, have all gone.
The area was redeveloped in the late 1960s and early 1970s and that consigned all of those streets as well as Dumville and Gillow Street pretty much to the memories of those that lived here, and on old maps, and pictures.
I often walk what is left, but that older network of narrow streets and old buildings was unknown to me.
Leaving me just to use the the OS map of 1951 as a guide.
Although I am confident that friends like Alan will soonoffer up their own memories.

Similar viewpoint, the building (and street sign) are still there. Sunlight house just visible in the backgournd.
