Burnage Miscellany, No 7 is dedicated to my sister Patricia Valerie Purdie nee Nadin who sadly died in 2006 in New Zealand, where she had made her home. The issue had a major article on "The Crossley Road Tragedy of 1952" as well as two guest articles, one On Moving into Avon Road by Kathleen Corrigan nee Morrison and the other "How the Other Half Lived" by Pauline Giles and Stephen Greatbanks.

It is well illustrated with school and sports photos, and some recent photos and items of graphic art from Modern Burnage.
