Thanks Ray for putting this together. It makes me so sad to see how it was. I left Salford in 1974 but it was still a shock to see my old school De La Salle being demolished
The photo of Cleminson St (1930) brought me up short. My mother was born at 55 Upper Cleminson St in December 1930. Incidentally, I am engaged in a fruitless search to find out more about her mother Martha Driver. The only official record of her I can find is on the baptism record of my mother in January 1931. I am wondering if Salford Registry Office might have more information about her.
This is a long shot, but any chance you have a photo of West Stable St? It's where the MIddlewood Locks development is now. I was there last week, visiting the site where my grandmother, Ester Darbyshire, grew up. Many thanks! Kirk from Toronto
Great presentation, thanks, Eccles
I went to De La Salle, 1988-90. My Dad went there too. I didn't reaiise it had been demolished! Absolutely gutted to see that photo...
Thank you for this. I love that you name the streets/area on each slide. Few other posters do this, and it really helps. Thank you.
Enjoyed this, thanks

Was Martha married. Is Driver her maiden name? Look for a marriage first. There's a few free sights for limited research. Lancs BMD. Free BMD.
