My life all started back in the 1950s, when my parents moved from Southern Ireland to Manchester, England, in an area called Levenshulme. Manchester has its name in the Doomsday book, put there in 1086. In fact, Manchester goes back even further than that. A.D. 79, when the Romans establish a fort overlooking the confluence of the rivers Irwell and Medlock. 1605 Outbreak of plague in Manchester.1653 Death of Humphrey Chetham, who left money to found Chetham's School and Chetham's Library. Established in 1655.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Worsley brought the mace from the Houses of Parliament to Manchester after Cromwell had dissolved Parliament. Now this fact leads me straight into where i live today, and that is Cheetham. Named after Humphrey Chetham, only today it has 2 Es in it?, Thats Manchester. I grew up in the 60s, where everything was Black and White. Well all my memories seem to be.
