Monty Python eh? So childish was right.


Yes the place has changed gradually over the years,my Grandmother and many more worked in the Cotton Mills in the 40s/50s/60s/70s with people from all corners of the globe.


This change has not happened all at once and parts of the demise of towns like Bolton can be pointed at many sources , immigration may be one but not the only one.
I shan't sidetrack your thread any more, this is about names isn't it? :-)

It's not really a side-track, a relevant point and, yes, the urban decay is not only as a result of immigration. We have it down here with a myopic council that does diddly-squat to encourage folk to move into the centre of the city and convert and occupy old offices and shops and, in doing so, leading on to a new generation of shops, services and cafés/bars etc to serve those folk living there. For example, there's a new estate of pseudo-Georgian houses going in near a new Waitrose, 500 houses are involved - that's the better part of 2000 people on a city of 26k - and where are the jobs, or are we going to see more central-urban erosion in the name of destroying green areas? And those who do convert old civic buildings, like the school house that I drew last year (on Arts), they got zip in contribution to renovating such a building and creating new jobs in the village.
Manchester City Centre population has increase 400% in the last decade. Many of the warehouses are now homes.

I'm pleased to hear that, gromit. More urban renewal ought to be encouraged and I don't care what colour the party who does this is.....
