The manager and staff are always available to explain and assist with any financial problems that may arise.
Their friendly attitude to your problems takes the worry out of money matters. I’m sure many will have kept their money safe at the Trustee Savings Bank 555 Cheetham Hill Road M8 7HZ were we learn that for over 150 years the bank has provided a range of services designed to meet the requirements of people of all ages. Television, Radio and Electrical Repairs and Service, P/a Sound Equipment for hire at low rates continued as before from the new address. A new postcode and a newish telephone number, BRO 2438 had become 792 2438, the Broughton identity gone for good. Modernity had begun to make its mark on the area: B Mitchell once a highlight of Waterloo Road now traded from 490 Gt. If below proves useful you may leave my name out of it, I have no wish to hog a page. My interest is simply one of looking back and very often chancing a smile. Memories from a parish magazine saved by the writer circa 1977. Herewith a little something you may use or refuse. Would love to know if anyone else recalls ‘the murder house’? I’ve written a book about this: ‘The Cheetham Hill Murder’. I decided to do so myself and have identified a much more obvious suspect, someone with an especially bad character and an overwhelmingly strong motive – someone whom the police did not bother to interview at the time. The programme persuaded me that the man executed for the crime, a homeless man named Burtoft, could not have killed the elderly Jewish lady, but they did not go on to investigate who might have committed this terrible crime back in 1933.

I was astonished to see the murder feature in the BBC TV series ‘Murder, Mystery & My Family’ in March 2018.
As a small child, I used to walk with my mum up Heywood St to shop in ‘the village’ and, every time we passed that tall, red-bricked house, she would say ‘that’s the murder house’, though she had no idea who’d been murdered there, nor when. It was just past the top of Heywood St., before you got to the Premier Cinema. My ‘Auntie’ Beatty had a tobacconist/corner shop somewhere in Strangeways.Īnyone recall ‘the murder house’, as locals referred to it, on Cheetham Hill Rd. Mum used to go on a Sunday to a hairdressing salon run by a woman called Mini (I think in Prestwich). Then there was swimming in the baths on Cheetham Hill Road, followed by Ice cream (best in the world) in summer or hot Ribena and a packet of crisps in winter at Lorenzini’s. I used to go ice skating at the Ice Palace in Derby Street and after we moved to Wilton Road in Higher Crumpsall I went to Chiltons dance studio. They also emigrated to Australia and lived within walking distance of us and I used to go over to their place to play with June (daughter). And there was a street off to the left in The Village where there was a health food shop owned by I think the name was Morris Klein and his wife. In The Village I remember a magical shoe shop, a bicycle shop where I bought my first bike with saved up pocket money (I think called Hylands or Rylands), and Woolworths. There was a park on the corner of Waterloo Rd & Cheetham Hill Rd where Mum used to take me to play. I saw Blue Hawaii at a cinema on Cheetham Hill Road. I remember Rin Tin Tin at the Temple Cinema, and the sweet shop next to the cinema where I’d get ‘flying saucers’ and such sweets on the way to school. Mrs Reece would give me a small Frankfurter (cocktail sausage here in Oz). I have fond memories of going into the butchers with my Mum. My father taught at Temple school and that’s where I went before going briefly to Bury Grammar for girls and then to Australia on the day the Beatles played Manchester.
I grew up in Hodgson Street off Waterloo Road. I came to this page looking for Reece’s Butchers.
