Or dirty old town by Ewan Maccoll.
Think Parkgate was classed as the dirtiest place in England in the 60’s,what with blast furnaces, chemics and all
In the 60s Parkgate was buzzing.Good shops, 5 pubs now it’s Asian take aways, 2 Eastern European shops & only 2 pubs left.The people had Pride, plenty of work.If you hung your washing out & the chemics decided to kick their crap out your clothes turned Green.
