Catherine, mother of two has six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Catherine has been living at Sycamores since April 2004. Originally from Gorton, Catherine lived with her husband of 40 years. Catherine says, ‘I met my husband promenading in Gorton, all the young boys and girls used to do it. We met in Gorton on Denton Road’. Catherine was employed as an embroiderer working on eiderdowns and cushions in Denton.
