I think that his post is rose tinted though. I grew up walking past pubs with “No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish” notices on the door. There were skinheads on the streets and copies of The Flag in phone boxes. All gone now. And the city, despite its problems, is much better for that.

I did see “No Women” on a pub door in Manchester but that was only for the vault. That was Auntie’s Bar on Oxford Road where the Mancunian Way crossed. I think it got pulled down at the end of the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No skinheads on streets now, just feckless youths who want to stab and mug you. Can't remember skinheads going around stabbing folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can’t read a newspaper article or watch a TV programme about the Windrush Generation without it quoted as being pinned to the doors of London rooming houses in the 50s. I reckon people have read it and heard it so often that they’ve become convinced that they actually saw it. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/oct/21/no-irish-no-blacks-no-dogs-no-proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and have experienced all the above , The thing that some on this thread do not seem to realize is the sudden feeling that our City as we know it it has now changed for ever , The community spirit that was. We are all in it together has now gone. As said in my observation yesterday , I am now some times feeling a stranger in my own City . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
