Similar thoughts crossed my mind. However it's harder to demolish memories so at least we'll be left with those.

Aye - the pub I grew up in was knocked down a few years ago too - be nothing I recognise left next time I come home. Apart from some of the feckless wonders who booze around Eccles no doubt.

Although, maybe I'm just being a little meloncholly after seeing the pictures.'"
I can't help but think you're absolutely bang on there. Sadly. |

It's only plastic Salfordians who remember it as Mother's Pride bakery. The hardcore remember it as Moores'.

I've re-posted the link to the photos, as I've added to them tonight. If you think you can negotiate to get the main Willows sign or the Willows pub sign over the tavern, then you'd better get down ther first thing tomorrow. By the looks of things they'll both be rubble by mid morning.

Used to like my trips to the Willows. TBH I preferred my trips there last year to my two trips to Barton this year.

Believe me, me and Daz are normal compared to some of the not rights around Eccles. It’s a Horrible place, ¾ of the population either have a limp, are alcohol dependant, are just f**cked in the head or don't speak a word of the queens. |

I haven't lived in Salford for 11 years now and don't get to go back as often as I would like so I would rather see these photos now than pass some empty plot or in-progress housing estate build the next time I am up there.
Keep up the good work

I've always wondered if it was just my imagination or whether Eccles really does have one of the highest disability rates in Britain. Like a modern day leper colony. |
