Michael Goodger, Window Cleaner Phoebe Street, Salford, 1967. NW Film Archives<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This street scene shows us not only another occupation in Salford but also several shops. The window cleaner appeared to have been – as the knocker-upper – a middle-aged gentleman. Perhaps he was retired and supplemented his pension or this was outside his working hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The window he is cleaning seemed to have been a shop that sold prams but when looking at the display in the window it seems to have been a household goods store – there is a kettle on display. However, some of the prams look new and other appear second hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person walking across the street seems to walk towards the “Royal Hotel.” She seems to carry a plastic tub with textiles. Next to it is a shop – a butcher perhaps – but only part of the name is visible “W Peter…” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any information, memories, photographs etc about Phoebe Street, its shops, the Royal Hotel and the people who lived and worked there would be interesting to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
