Sharing Memories
Members of Chorlton Good Neighbours on their visit to Brookburn Primary School, Chorlton on 23 Nov 2011. We were there to talk to the year 6 students about what it was like being in Chorlton during and after World War 2. The visit was enjoyed equally by children and adults alike, and we left stuffed full of the cakes that the children had made for us - and bags of them to take home too!
