Chorlton-cum-Hardy

That's a f- that was a fucking great story.

Friend of mine in Chorlton had his car nicked.

Yeah.

And I don't know if...

And then they always found it, 'cause nobody wanted to keep it.

[laughs]

[laughs] And, but what had happened is someone had nicked it, tried to get, make a quick getaway, maneuver out of these, this Chorlton street.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

And it's High Street, Chorlton, is it?

One day all of Africa would be free.

Abrahams was one of around 200 people, many from Africa and the Caribbean, who'd gathered to attend the 5th Pan-African Congress, being held in a town hall in Chorlton, Manchester, just months after the end of the Second World War.

They were there to discuss common problems, racism, discrimination, economic inequality, and how to win independence for the colonies.
