You are me AICMFP
I did a very similar thing - as I was at Salford uni and too tight to pay for a cab back from town I decided to walk back to my student halls in Salford at Castle Irwell. Not very bright of me and how I lived to tell the tale I'll never know.

I can only presume I looked so pathetic staggering along even the local neds felt sorry for me.

Yep - the joy of Castle Greyskull. Back then they hadn't knocked all the houses down on Seaford Road, so at least there was the occasional old dear on the look out, I'd hate to walk down there now.

The lamp post was outside the Wallness Tavern....

I had the joy of living there too.
The second year we moved to a tower block near Salford Shopping Shitty -- it was much better as you got to watch the scallies race around in stolen cars and listen to them fighting in the street, followed by police turning up two hours later.
I must admit I was sad when I found out, via Google Earth, that the houses on Seaford Road had gone. It used to feel like walking through a lowry to Uni...

I once had a knife pulled on me on Seaford Rd
Was fucking delighted to hear it got demolished.
