"Gorton Tank area" 1800's

[Anglo2000]

I grew up in longsight and at stanley grove primary my pal jimmy lived in tank row. They were a row of terraces houses near longsight station. My friends dad was a train driver mainly  long distance to London euston. Opposite tank tow was a dorm type building with bunks for drivers and crew to stay overnight. We played on the 3 corned field we called it on kirkmanshulme lane right next to train line opposite latimer street.Belle vue was in its heyday then late 50s to early 60s.
Happy days sadly.all.gone now.
