Tatton St, Ordsall

The above photograph shows a group of residents in front of the flower bedecked Tatton Street Memorial (or Roll of Honour). It clearly demonstrates the pride that the residents of the street held for the men named on the memorial. Unfortunately, like many other WW1 street memorials, its location is unknown and it is likely that it has not survived the test of time (although we hope that someone will prove us wrong). As a result, a list of the men named on the memorial is not available, however, using information from the Salford Absent Voters List and the CWGC database, we can reasonably assume that the men listed below would have been amongst those listed.
