Meet at the Blue Cranes on The Quays for a special guided walk, with costumed local professional tourist guides, to support the Totem Pole Campaign.

If you would like to put together a display about the totem pole and its restoration I would be very happy to arrange for it to go on show in Eccles Gallery. Karen Illingworth, Eccles Community Art gallery, Boothway, Eccles |

As usual I can only get the first 30 secconds of video. But is was enough. Fascinating to see and hear Harold Riley again after half a century. You see, MISTER Riley was my class teacher at Patricroft Parish School all those years ago. I guess I was about 8 or 10. I remember him as a scarf wearing Lambretta (or Vespa) riding somewhat radical young man for the time. I belive I still have a class photograph somewhere. Ahhh, happy days. |

Well said Harold Riley. Keep Salford's history alive. It is something we all should be proud of. |

In all my time in Salford I've never seen Harold Riley speak before! I have to say, I thought he was dead (sorry Harold)! Great that he's behind this campaign though. |
