Spanish Civil War

Did you live in Seedley or Langworthy in 1937? Do you remember the Spanish Children arriving at Harold’s Orphanage on Seedley Road and being schooled at The Quaker Meeting House on Langworthy Road (now the British Legion)? It is 75 years since Basque children were evacuated to Salford after the bombing of Guernica in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. I am a local artist researching this forgotten piece of Salford history and would like to interview anyone who remembers the Basque children, however small that memory is! I would also like to interview anyone who had a relative who went to fight in Spain, or who was involved in fundraising or supporting the Spanish cause. Please phone me on 07952 178708 Or e-mail me at info@clairehignett.co.uk if you would like to share these memories. Thank you Claire Hignett
