Salford Rooftops - Bob Richardson. A fascinating world. Imagine the stories that could be told about life down there. Shelagh Delaney could. ๐Ÿ‘

Urban tranquility - Dave Hartley. When they knocked our terraced houses down in the 1960's they moved us onto a council estate. It was on a hill so in winter the cloud would touch the floor making it seem perpetually foggy. This picture took me back there. ๐Ÿ™‚

A 1980 interview with Fred Dibnah. A delight to remember Fred as he was, just an ordinary bloke from Bolton. Clearly nervous in a TV studio, yet unfazed by extreme personal danger. The men he refers to as his inspiration to climb were my uncles. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘ youtu.be/E6_G17ECOLk

*Stands up* "My name is Albert and I'm a Bookaholic. It started small... A line of newsprint here, a quick sken at the Beano there, but before long I was readin' Dickens." ๐Ÿ˜” Yes, I've been in another charity shop. ๐Ÿ™„ I give 'em back when I'm done though. ๐Ÿ‘ Six quid fifty!
