  1. This article about a blue plaque in #Manchester for #SisterRosettaTharpe has sent me down a rabbit hole: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4q2

    This video has more of the performers than just Sister Rosetta: youtube.com/watch?v=yds77TQFfdE

    Wilbraham Road station was on what's now the #FallowfieldLoop cycle path, between the Alexandra Road South bridge and Athol Road. I'm tempted to go down there among the trees and foliage where the station stood, and listen to it where it was performed in 1964. Maybe in the rain for verisimilitude...

  14. It's quite something, that down this unassuming street in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, South Manchester, once lived a member of the World War Two Special Operations Executive.

    Equally incredible, is that Maurice Chuwen of Fallowfield was a Royal Air Force parachute instructor, who helped train SOE agents at what is now Manchester Airport.

    History will always reveal itself 🫡

  17. committee meeting was a disgrace.
    Councillors failed to represent the enormous local opposition to this monolithic scheme.
    They only celebrated 49 affordable homes (pitiful against the actual need which won't be met by private sector developers.
    There was no real discussion and though a campaigner was allowed to speak, her excellent points were ignored in the posturing.

    Go-ahead for 260 homes at former shopping centre.
