STALEY BRIDGE STALYBRIDGE
STALEY BRIDGE STALYBRIDGE
this is Staley bridge
my father's birthplace
here is a picture
of me in a pram
my sister
in a pram
on a big bridge
crossing the Tame river
this is not
that Staley bridge where
the Saxons crushed the
Vikings
rushing back to
meet my
Norman ancestors at Hastings
and we
know what happened there
****
Yes, here we are
up front Mossley
in that picture, my
Mother
daughter of a war hero
pushing our pram
and there, no doubt,
the great cotton mills
still
doing their job though
not now in
their hey day
postmodernity,
postcoloniality
what landscape altering modes
of production ushered
in in
their wake
and here is Engels incliding
text on this place in his seminal
work on
the working class
in England
and here I am
years later, studying satire living
in his monument house
in Oxford Street Manchester
water
under this bridge, water
connecting
us all
Tipperary, Stalybridge,
Mahikeng South Africa
figures
in a Lowry paintimg
they come
and they go
water
under this bridge then
so much water we
tend to
forget about
water headed
to the port of slavery
same water in the skiffle
psychedelia of those
Sergeant Pepper people
magicians of the airwaves
conjurors of
a whole new
line
in identity
fruit of the clash of
working class proclivities
with
transcendental
mind
clash, I say,
but what a melding, beloved
blending
without which
no way this space, or place,
or room
to talk
gone these guys
or finally fading
gone
those mills of my childhood
Spitfire stories
of how
we stood alone
everything reconfigured,
outright repurposed
voices (and their words)
I fail to recognise, alien
strange
elevated above whilst
so out of frame
somehow talking all
necessities of suppression
commandeering everything
stretching
the distance below
to above
to breaking point
viewed from
the Southern tip of Africa, product
victim of
all that this is metonym of
all this place
this life
of which
I speak
ths
shock
could not be more
extreme
(so dark
these river with
their druid name
we cross
all our lives
each
every day
so quietly all
determining)

Had a trip to Portland Basin with my flipped lens Kodak Cresta on Wednesday. Developed the film yesterday and scanned it today. Love these! Portland Basin, in Ashton-under-Lyne is where three canals meet, the Ashton canal, the Huddersfield Narrow canal and and the Peak Forest canal. #kodakcresta #fomapan100 #510pyro #portlandbasin #ashtonunderlyne #canal #peakforestcanal #huddersfieldnarrowcanal #ashtoncanal #tameside (at Portland Basin, Ashton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiSaCIGoRmi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All About Our Plumbing & Electrical Services
In the many 250 plus jobs we have completed all around Manchester, a good portion of our work can be said it was to carry out the repair and maintenance of home and business properties throughout the area.
Unless you have a brand new, freshly roofed, freshly plumbed and freshly painted house, complete with all the furnishings you need right from the start, each room built from the word go to your exact requirements and specifications, it has to be acknowledged there is not really any such thing as a ‘finished house’. There will always be something to maintain, to change and to repair. But with the correct and professional property maintenance, Manchester properties can thrive under their skilful hands, looking as beautiful as the day they were first built and even more of the exact home you desire. property maintenance tameside

No matter what part of your house is installed, built and decorated, eventually it will become dated or damaged and need replacing or redoing. For each and every repair, the expert services of various tradesmen is often required. That could mean that even in just 10 years, you could be contacting hundreds of various companies and services, just to help you maintain your home, or other premises.

Parental Revelations - in Public
Parental Revelations – in Public
Yesterday I was doing a talk in Tameside, celebrating Stalybridge – Greater Manchester’s Town of Culture for 2022. The talk was all about my rather famous Victorian ancestor and I was quite pleased to see that the Deputy Mayor of Tameside brought her baby along to the session. The wee one was very well behaved. She didn’t rip off the mayoral chains in an act of political insurrection or anything…
