Old photos - photographer unknown - of Forbes Street and Ashmore Street West Gorton Manchester, sent by Mike Fish, who lived on Ashmore Street during the 1970's. Forbes Street is the birthplace of the actor John Thaw (1942-2002). See tribute website johnthaw.topcities.com/johnthaw.html

I love old photos of Manchester, but I do not have a collection of old photos of my own. The collection of photos taken by me begins late 1996. The best source of pre-1980 's photos of Manchester is the Archives and Local Studies Unit www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls at Manchester Central Library.
