RECOLLECTING A RIVER

I was astonished by your article on the river Irwell in Salford (Special issue). My husband was born in Salford and we started our married life in Whitefield, Greater Manchester. I am looking at photos taken from our house on a high bluff in Whitefield overlooking the Irwell and the industrial scene of murky chimneys and smog. That was 55 years ago. Thank you for the update!
