[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Lowry wasn't from Salford and never actually lived here.

And yer can see hundreds of photos of Lowry and few have been 'curated' where he's sporting his City scarf!

Which is in Swinton/Pendlebury. That wasn't in Salford back then.

Some people thought Pendlebury wasn't in Salford. It is now.

Absolutely true...
Irishman Anthony Clancy was born on the 7th day of the 7th month in the 7th year of that century. He was the 7th child of a 7th child and had 7 brothers.
On his 27th birthday he placed a bet on a horse called Seventh Heaven running in the 7th race on the card. The odds were 7-1 and the horse has a 7 stone handicap.
He wagered 7 shillings, but lost...the horse finished 7th.

This might be interesting....Manchester has a link to Halifax Nova Scotia. In 1939 during the build up to WW2, 100 volunteers from Halifax Nova Scotia enlisted in the Manchester Regiment to fight for King and Country. These brave young men are known as the Halifax Hundred, there's a commemorative plaque in Ashton-under-Lyne to remember them.

That is interesting.

That was interesting. I had read about them a while ago but not about the commemorative plaque. Thank you. :-)
