Camden St. Hulme, is there a photo?

[griz]

Does anyone have a photograph of Camden St. Hulme, if there is one I would love to see it and  get a copy.

 It was a small street  that was pulled down when Hulme was cleared. 1960's? The houses were small, and there was a coal yard on the street.

Hi Pricey4848, maybe there is not much hope for us, but it was worth a try. You never know what little treasures people have tucked away.   If I ever get  a photo  I will let you know, and will be sure to get a copy to you.
My relative( my grandma) lived at no. 8.

No photo I am afraid. However, I have potentially four relatives that lived on Camden Street and I wondered if anyone else had a connection to the same people.

My Great Grandfather Joseph Harry Egan lived at number 12 in 1899 along with his wife Lucy Carter. Annie Carter also lived at number 3 and may have been Lucy's sister. My grandfather was born at number 12 and his name was Joseph Harry Egan born at the address 18th February 1899

Hi, Thanks so much for that information.  My gran lived there ( number 8)probably from  about 1912 to  1952.   Nearly across the street was a coal yard . Her three children all went to St Wilfred's or as my mum called it  'Silly Willy's' ( not very respectful    )  but that was when my mum  was a child. At that time my gran was Mary Shaughnessy but her husband died and she remarried in 1918 to a wounded 1st World war soldier  she met at a hospital. The young man   was sent back  to the front after recovering from his wounds, and  he was killed a few weeks before the end of the war. So sad.  She was then Mary Cooper. She was killed by a drunk driver while crossing the street to go to a bakery.
Her grandchildren were coming  to see her and she was going out  to buy them cream cakes.   The drunk, a taxi driver I believe, was let off as he was drunk ( !!!)and did  not know what he was doing so was not responsible. Insane decision.   Thanks so much for posting . This information  about who lived on these old streets  is precious. She was happy in her little house. No electricity, a gas light, a radio with a massive battery that had to keep being recharged,  a gas ring, and the old coal fireplace and oven and a hob for a kettle.  A spotless, whitewashed, outside toilet that always smelled of Jeeyes fluid.
