Memories of Salford in the 1950s and 60s
David Matthews lived on Sedan Street, Salford 5, in the 1950s. This summer David brought in some amazing images of his family, friends and relations. All of these streets and scenes are now gone, lost to demolition, however David wanted to share his prescious memories of that time. This includes the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, and two of the photos show amazing street scenes of people gathered for street parties.

Beautiful, I was born down Liverpool road 1956. Bryson is our family name ,Mom & Dad {Margaret & Jackie aka John.} Brothers John & hugh. Sisters Jean ,Eileen, Rose & Julie.. We didn’t
live there long . Anybody remember us ? We went on to live on Langley estate. My claim to fame is i’m born closer to the original coronation st studio than anybody on the planet ! I believe we lived at woods place right across from the entrance to the setting . I have fond memories of how nice people were in the north . Ken.
