2.05 mins thats me with the cam loads turned out for a great comedian Manc

I work 5 minutes from here and the place is a hole now. Dirty, neglected, no pride. What happened? It is so clean and prosperous in these pictures.

It is so scruffy round there now. Rubbish all over the streets. It looks really nice in these photos in comparison.

What years were this and what school in the picture. Great video

Went to St. Anne’s Crumpsall, I sat my 11 plus in the school hall same side as the pub … !!!!!!! My father was Forman bricking on the ICI building in the early 60’s As tough as it was, they are fond memories. Cheers to all.

I used to have a shop on Morton lane in the 60s

What the hell happened? Went back a few years ago. It was like Africa with clouds and rain.

Up to 3:41 The Building Has been Demolished In Aril-May 2022 Is now making a new apartment house before in 2012 it was a sign shop called "Vision Signs" closed down in 2018 left abandoned for 5 years

Was there a Cartmel Street in Harpurhey? My mother's godmother lived there, I think.

Pretty sure that bus was a 126. Got that to and from my gran and grandads at Tunstall Court Blackley. Salad days. Ho how far we have travelled to come bak to....

Notice how clean the streets were. Not a scrap of litter anywhere. That tells you that people had pride in their community. They weren't rich..... far from it......but they had pride in what they did have. Also, none of those horrible tin roller doors on shop windows. They weren't necessary since people respected other peoples' property. They were honest, hardworking, decent folks, not thieves and vandals who smash and pillage anything which isn't protected by a metal shield. These days, North Manchester is a zoo populated by wild animals who can't even be called civilized.

Good to remember the good old days thanks for the memories live on church lane now was in Windsor road top énd when ço op was on corñer ❤😅

Lived on the lane in the sixties and seventies, it was a lovely place.

I was born in moston fold Street around that time it's sad to see it now 😢

And to look at it now....3rd World Cesspitt

We had similar scenes in the 1950s and 60s going down into the town centre from where I used to live in Bolton. loads of retail shops, restaurants and pubs. You didn't need to actually go into the town centre to go shopping or have a pleasant night out, it was all nearby. All gone now, like in most parts of northern of England.

OLD TIMES LIKE

Brilliant. I was born in 1951 and these shops were my life. It got even better because there were shops all along Conran Street/ Upper Conran Street and Rochdale Road formed the third side of thd triangle. Many an hour lost just wandering, and that was without the market. Town? Who needed town in the 50s and 60s?

That was very well put together!

Fantastic 😊

Great video, but would have helped with the addition of context. I recognised places, but others had me bewildered! Would have been great if you had subtitled each image with its location :) Cant believe how much has changed in the last 50 years of my life :)

Blackley was beautiful then l lived there.

It really was beautiful back then wasn't it?, I loved this slide show from the Year of my birth too, I remember so many of those lovely shops too, it's so sad to see it now, I have never been back since leaving after 57 years.

Buzzin off the co op shop window, the price of everything in the window didn't even amount to whole £1even

2nd from the left, is that Harold Parker?

Went to the maket there every saturday with mam and dad

6:22 Bristol advert is Pete Murray who at 22.9.22 is 97 and still going

CO-OP Minmarket @3.39min has just been pulled down.

Needs to be flattened, dirty scruffy ,shabby 🇬🇧

Fantastic

The funniest U.K. comedian ever, he slagged everybody. The Leftie Labour hated him. The English white working class -the big minority Labour forgot - hence Boris as PM, serves the bastards right (Labour traitors).

Love this video. Real Moston even before my time.

Had goodfriends lived there who worked at Ferranti Hollinwood . Jackie Elliott . Had a girlfriend Eileen Lycett this was back late 1959 Era or slightly earlier. Lost contact when I changed jobs. Often wonder what happened to them. I moved around Africa and now live in South of Johannesburg . Would be interested if anyone knew These two people.

Lovely reminder of how Moston was when I was growing up there in the 1960s. It actually started going downhill in the early 1970s when, almost overnight, you couldn't leave your plants on the doorstep or they'd vanish and you had to lock your front and back door even nipping to the corner shop. My Gran always said it was because some rough types were moved to Moston when their slums were demolished. No idea if that's right but I did see the place decline back then. We lived on Norman (later Nigel) Road, just round the corner from Ronnie Camp's paper shop, and I'd walk up the road to Lily Lane primary.

Many great memories here

Any pictures of 161 moston lane ?

My late parents were married at St Peter's in 1958 and both me and my sister were born and spent some of our childhood living in Blackley Village.What was the point in pulling them down and destroying a thriving shopping st and homes? They were not slums. My old house is still there on Blackley New Road. Much of Old Market St is still just an empty croft where the the main shops were.

did you ever live on dam head estate ?

my nan was 19 at this time

Is there a video for Church Lane, Harpurhey?

My great Aunt lived there in the 1950's to early 60's. We used to stay with her...great memories!! ❤

Odd that the film editor uses an Elton John soundtrack when BM was known for homophobic gags.

God bless much-loved n missed Bernard...

Has the editor used every video transition available. Awful cut.

Stupid fades great pictures

I think there was an alleged time slip case near St peters Church..

Found some WW2 pill box across from the Co Op...does any one know about them?..good posting

Hi, @Muffin19ify I have been looking for pictures of my grandma's shop that was on the corner of Moston lane and Acton st she ran it right through the war but sadly passed away before I was born in the 40's. I think i have found it but not sure as the street sign is a bit blurred. Does anyone know the one? or better still have any pictures? Or perhaps some stories her name was Small so I would think that was what it was called? I would make me very happy if you could help at all.

They tore the soul of the place when they demolished all those buildings . A great shame!

Remember all those places growing up in the 60s and 70s. Dad used to take me to the Barbers on the corner and then if I was lucky some sweets or even a toy after. I remember collecting football stickers from the Cleveland garage and picking up Grandma from Blackley Cables after she had finished work and lord knows how many times I took the 26 from Crumpsall. Good days and great memories
