Thread Name: 'Star Inn, Salford, UK - Help needed
Subject: RE: Star Inn - Salford. Silver Jubilee
I remember Great Clowes St and Bury New Rd, the # 95 bus used to turn down there on the way to Manchester. My wife live on Oaklands Rd, Off Moor Lane. I am at work now, she will remember the other roads. I just don't know why we never heard of the Star. We found the "Old House at Home" if you knew that folk club. Yes it was Jack and Mavis but the last name is Lee, I used to work with Jack at Avro's, it was Hawker Siddeley really but old names are hard to change. We still keep in touch, just had a Christmas card from them. I remember the name of Mike Canavan, did he come from Middleton area? there was another FC there at the RING O Bells a very trad club. When I was young I used to hang about at the "Noel Timpson Youth Centre on Cheetham Hill RD, it closed mant years ago. There were a lot of big names there back then, htey were just starting out. Marie Little, Tony Downs, Mike Harding was in the " Edison Bell Jug Band" the first time I saw him, Christy Moore lived in Manchester back then. Anyway I guess I should get back to work, will look you up if/when we get back over there. I still have a sister in Heywood and my wifes cousin who we may be staying with lives in Pendlebury. JohnB
