Hotspur Press Manchester
Video Story by Andrew Alan Matthews
The Hotspur Press Manchester
On the bank of the Medlock in 1801
Engine room of the city
Little Ireland part of town
People frown and get down
In an old cotton town
Lives were lost
Back in the day
Fire was licking and flickin
In cottonopolis town
Cotton mill replaced
As Percy Brothers
took on the scene
Cotton and Printworker ghosts
In fumes of lead and ink
Fill the place
an Iconic
Mancunian place
Those workers toiled away
day in day out
They Had fun and laughter too
Social clubs,
snooker, darts and cribbage
have a rummage through this place
then an Artists place
in yer face
Them times are gone
And as you look on this scene
On a bus into the city
Where graffiti and
Weeds cover the place
Proper Manchester of old
Where it was cold
But its pure gold
So don’t knock it down
Renovate it
Make it
the entrance to the city
where Mancunians
welcome you in
So yeah
