It all went downhill when Gorton Tub was made into a private health club.
Cunts.

Is "private health club" a euphemism for knocking-shop? There's a couple of them on the Hyde Road.

Club 456 or whatever it's called these days?

I remember going there was I little
It wasn't long after it 1st opened.

I have quite a family history with Gorton, and my mums side of the family were very well known in the area.

My mum grew up on Mount Road and got married at Lady of our Mercy (past The Mount - cracking pub!), uncles and aunties went to school at Spurley Hey, my grandfather was local councillor in the late 70s (he campaigned for and opened Longsight library), my uncle campaigned for the regeneration of the area until his death back in 2005.

Sadly Gorton went a bit shit from around 1995 onwards.
