Description |
Student documentary in which former residents of Hankinson Park in Salford, made famous by Walter Greenwood's novel 'Love on the Dole', talk about their fond memories of the area. They describe how it has changed since the slum clearances and the erection of flats and tower blocks. Illustrated with archive photographs and film of the old 'Hanky Park', its demolition and rebuilding. Also includes images of the replacement buildings, many of which are now themselves in need of repair, as contributors bemoan the deterioration of the area and call for new investment. |
