Hi My name is Jane Byrne and I am interested in 36 Church Street Eccles. Before it became Wilkinsons, it belonged to Woolworths but before that it was a butcher's shop belonging to my Grandfather, and my Father was born in this shop. I am after any information regarding this building or a photo of it would be great. I have tried Salford History Museum for a photo and they seem to have everything but.... My Grandfather's name was George Richard Gibson and he left Eccles in 1916 to go to live in Birkenhead. He was a Master Butcher as was his father, Thomas, and his father, George. Thank you Jane Byrne Whangarei New Zealand jhbyrne@ihug.co.nz

Hi Jane, Have a look at the following URL and follow the links to the photos. There may just be one with the shop in the background. http://www.comp-sci.demon.co.uk/ John Trace -----Original Message----- From: Jane Byrne [mailto:jhbyrne@ihug.co.nz] Sent: 27 January 2002 04:08 To: ENG-LAN-ECCLES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ECCLES] re Church Street Hi My name is Jane Byrne and I am interested in 36 Church Street Eccles.
