Heaton Norris Memories

Born in Hesketh St in 1953. All my siblings attended Christ church including sisters Sylvia, Ingrid, brothers Stephen and Jeffrey....Moved to Heaton Chapel later, but still attended Christ Church...Mr Garrity head, Miss Mottershead, Mr lomax, Mr Stafford, ....remember Mr Burgess who kept the coke heating going....Happy days....My Dad was Sammy Parkes a racecourse bookie, and sometimes we were rich...and sometimes we were not !!.... My brother Steve and I were in groups and the music business for years....We had various businesses as well over the years in Stockport including a Hi fi/electrical retailers in Hillgate, and a couple of betting shops....Now retired, but think a lot about the happier times of old Stockport and the characters I knew....Our only designer gear was a snake belt (if you were lucky) and we three brothers could get togged out for a tenner at Henry's store on Princess St, and still have enough for 3 bags of chips from the U.C.P.......Happy days !!!
