The road to 2013 part 2

Whereas I was born in Ancoats, my first official residence was in Swinton.

My parents were Salvation Army officers.  At the time of my birth they were in charge of the Salvation Army corps (that's the Salvation Army terminology for "church") in Pendlebury - just across the railway line from Swinton.  The quarters (Salvation Army terminology for the house the officers lived in) was at 56 Clarendon Road in Swinton.

The first picture is a modern view of the house in Clarendon Road (it is the house behind the streetlamp). 


The second picture shows the Salvation Army hall at Pendlebury (nowaways referred to as Swinton Outreach Centre).
