A glimpse of a lost reality\' - Manchester Evening NewsIt was on a Sunday night in 1928 that Billy Hopkins made his first appearance. Billy\'s tenement home on the outskirts of Manchester would be considered a slum today, but he lived there happily with his large Catholic family, hatching money-making schemes with his many friends.When war came, and the Luftwaffe dominated the night sky, Billy was evacuated to Blackpool. There he lived on a starvation diet while his own rations went to feed his landlady\'s children - \'I might as well be in Strangeways!\'But even the cruel blows that were to be dealt to the family on his return to Manchester would not destroy Billy\'s fighting spirit - or his sense of humour.
