Windsor Bridge was a major transhipment point between BR (earlier LMS) and the many factories in Salford... and the Manchester Ship Canal. A tunnel ran from the sidings into Salford docks, with frequent trains. St Joey's school playground was actually formed by the cut- and- cover construction of this tunnel, and whenever a train went through the kids would hear a loud rumbling noise. They called the tunnel the "funder" - that f or v for th was very Salford (Bringle Eaf* for Brindle Heath for example).

Lark Hill Place is still going? I thought it was magic as a kid. But I never got to go down the mine in Buile Hill Park museum, it was always shut.
