Hope Cottage 59 Canton Street, my grandparents home. My grandfather was a silk merchant and bought the property outright in 1930 when married. They bought up their family here, my mum the third child, and remained at the house until a compulsory purchase order finally arrived in 1970. They were the last residents to leave Canton Street.
