I lived in Walmsley street in the 1950s and my Mother worked at Chambers Mill over the bridge. When you crossed the canal bridge and turned left down the path to the canal there was a caravan builders. Further down on the left was a foundry with a moulding shop we used to watch them putting the hot metal into the moulds before going to play at the back in the empty ruined building or in the tunnels or waste from Blythe`s. This used to be hot in places and if disturbed you would create different colours of smoke,no health and safty issues in those days. Does anyone have memories of the Queens hall cinema latter the Tudor cinema and a night club.
