“For anyone who was in Hulme at this time there will be things that are familiar and maybe forgotten, and for those who were not I hope it proves an interesting record of that time and place. Although so much seemed drab and cold, depressing and at times without hope, there was a great sense that we were all in it together.” – Adam T. Burton.
