Davyhulme Park Hospital
Now seems to be called Trafford General HospitalDirections: See the multimap. This is a bit far away from the other sights. It's located on Bowers Avenue between Davyhulme Road and Moorside Road.
Importance: The hospital where Morrissey was born.
St Mary's Secondary Modern School
|
Directions: See it on multimap. On Renton Road
and
Christie
Road.
Importance: Morrissey's secondary school which undoubtedly inspired songs about England's school system. Behind the school is an iron bridge perhaps from "Still Ill."

Directions: See it on multimap. If you arrive in Stretford by bus you'll probably be at the station on Kingsway Edge. Kings Road is just a block away. But you're at the wrong end of it so be prepared for a good walk.
Importance: Morrissey's teenage home.
Directions: See it on Mapquest. Continue on King's Road until you hit Upper Chorlton Road and you'll be in the general area.
Importance: Mentioned in "Miserable Lie.".
Directions: See it on multimap. In the Whalley Range area. Probably near where Mayfield Road hits Withington Road.
Importance: Former home of Linder where Morrissey often visited.
Directions: See it on multimap. Due east of Whalley Range on Wilbraham Road. Bordered by Platt Lane, Hart Road, and Wilmslow Road.
Importance: Probable location of the fair mentioned
in "Rusholme Ruffians."
Directions: See the multimap.
Head south from Whalley Range on Withington Road. Take Mauldeth Road west
and then head south on Moor Road. Rather far from Whalley Range. I've heard
that the number 11 bus out of Piccadilly Station goes right to the Cemetry,
erm... Cemetery.
Importance: Cemetery frequented by Morrissey and Linder and inspiration
for "Cemetry Gates."
