In her 40 years on the Collyhurst Village estate, Flo Taylor has seen it all. The 72-year-old claims to be the first tenant here, having moved into her four-bedroom council house back in 1982.
The home in Anslow Close was one of those used to showcase the north Manchester estate after it was built as part of a slum clearance programme. "We were living in Miles Platting at the time," she explained. "They asked us to come and have a look at them.
"We liked them so we said we'd have one."
