This is the first in a series of edited interviews from Queen Alexandra Court in Ordsall, Salford, a sheltered housing complex close to the centre of Manchester. It houses people who lived through World War II and remember the bombs that fell on the streets and the nearby Docks. The podcast was put together by Jane, our regular reporter, who went and talked to the residents over a series of evenings. Thanks to them for responding and being so helpful, even if the provess did interfere with their regular Bingo sessions.

Here’s a podcast from last year, advising people in the inner city how to go about selecting food and cooking that is good for them.

Some of the names and phone numbers have changed over the passing months, (and will need checking, if you want to contact anyone), but the information is still important, and vital - if you want to make the most of life and enjoy good food.

Hear what residents and professionals working in Salford have to say, (especially the guys from MEND, a trail-blazing project in Ordsall at the time, which many people are now seeking to emulate). You may not agree with all of them or what they have to say, but it’s a good start for a healthy debate. See what you think.
