A woman who believes her cancer was caused by asbestos exposure as a child during demolition operations near her school, is taking legal action.
Penny Garner, 45, from Salford, has the lung condition mesothelioma, which is linked to asbestos dust.
Her lawyer believes she was exposed at Seedley Primary School in the 1970s, as a nearby swimming pool was demolished.
Demolition firm P McGuinness and Co denies liability and Salford Council has not commented on the case.
Ms Garner, from Peel Green, was diagnosed with the terminal condition in 2011 and says she could not believe it when the consultant asked if she had worked with asbestos.
