Gorton is a happy place.

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

I grew up in Gorton in the 1950's and early 60's, it was a great place, with lots of Coronation Street type streets and folk who were the salt of the earth...(With a few exceptions...Myra Hindley for example)

Gorton cross Street was a thriving place, full of busy shops. FHW shoes, Jerinas butchers, Wheelers Stores, Phil Greene Hardware, etc.....

Now, when I return it looks like Beiruit.

Maybe it's rose coloured spectacles?

Why would you need Anti-Depressants if you were on Heroin?

I used to work in Gorton back in the early 80s
Some scally had painted on a disused wall "WELCOME TO SUNNY GORTON" in six foot letters, it always made me smile

What I thought of when I saw the thread title. Sunny Gorton. Remember that from when I was a kid. Sunny Salford too.

My ex wife is from Gorton and I live in Altrincham! - both below the national average.

Also Gorton has the most concentrated number of blues by Twitter volume apparently.

Anyone remember House of Holland? Fucking loved that place.

I drove through Gorton last sunday and is wasnt there anymore ! At least it wasnt the Gorton I used to know, going back 30 years mind ! It now looks like a deserted shithole area of Detroit.
