Wow. Think i went to school here. Think they had a fire last year. I always assumed it was open and kept in good condition. Was well looked after in the early 80s. Looks like the padiham one to me anyway.

so sad too see these great pubs gone... drank in some of them & so many great times i had too.... what happened to our lovely six towns? our culture? our industry.... i despare...!

And don't forget Meir airport ❤

Super video ! I visited about a couple of years ago and the place was boarded up tight . You were able to get in earlier this year ?

Love these videos of abandon places, apart from going out looking for these places how would I find them?, i don't use computers much because I am not very P.C. literate, is thete a website or something that helps/tells you about places? I am on the outskirts of Warrington and St Helens so I would like to find somewhere close because I don't drive, and at the moment I have two broken knees, but I have a push bike once I can use it again. Any help in how to go about starting this up as a hobby will be very appreciated, Thanks.

Interesting. Images definitely needed more light though

I have seen many an abandoned building by now, but i just cannot put into words the sadness of how it feels to see pieces from history left to disintegrate before ones very eyes. Thankfully you explorers are and have recorded some of the history that is of such great importance to some of us to see.

In 2013, this place was glorious to explore. Shocking to see it now.

We still get earth tremors from time to time when the old mine shafts collapse.

Awesome

My Dad went to this school as a boarder in the’50s. He had a great time. He’s in his 80’s now. He told me that one year his role was stage director or something and he graffitied his name and school number many times with the stage paint under the stage. Wonder if it’s still there?

Unalived? Stupid Woke crap...

Nice work would like to see more.👍👍

Hi whereabouts is this in Shropshire? Thanks

I loved the Space Invader ride❤

Ah, The Stoke Danilo... thank you for that one, for many years I've been trying to remember that place, I went there a lot in the 70's as my Uncle lived nearby! Anyone remember a cinema in Tunstall? Just down the road from the Sacred Heart church?

Fabulous video of one of Brum's proudest industries, soon to become the BBC's new multimillion pound home in the Midlands.

I grew up in Shelton.

Make it a sleeper

Fix it

Is there an adress for this?

Great piece of historical video - we will share with BBC staff to show them some of the history of their new Birmingham headquarters.

Used to work there 1987-89 for S Rose and company second floor menswear My locker number was 402. Unbelievable how the building has declined when i was there paintwork was immaculate and the roof windows i used to open in the summer to cool the place down. Happy memories.

Many thanks for the memories. especially, the triangle at north walk, can see our old house...

I went today its cool my dad used to go there it was burnt a couple years back and my brother said theres a man with a paintball gun wich is true i think we found paintball gun instructions

Any chance you have pictures of Stoke Road showing the strip? Looking for Winton House, Empire House, Signal 1, Car Park, Motorcycle Garage.

💪

Grew up playing in these woods from about 2005-2016, still visit here often as im still local

Ce château 🏰 était tellement magnifique, je suis heureux d'un jours y avoir mis les pieds. Il restera le plus beau des androit que jai pu voir dans ma vie ainsi que tout ce dont jai pu y ressentir de bien, mais aussi de mal, comme dans les sous sol...

Well made video thank you. Such a shame about the condition of the mill pond. Someone started to clear it up and tried to get to get things going but it came to nothing.

😊😊

I’d forgotten how many pits there were in North Staffordshire. After I left the NCB I became an apprentice electrician and worked on installing cabling systems at Wolstanton, for the Bindex system on the coal pre plant in the valley, where eventually the A500 or ‘D’ road was built. Wolstanton colliery is now the site of a huge retail park.

Remember doing my underground training at Whitfield in 1965 followed by the start of my technical training at Kemble.

Been in ‘em all except the Woodshutts and only the rebuilt Red Lion and Vine.

At 11:13 you can see one of the bells its sad to see beautiful churches get abandoned there is an abandoned church around my area in cumbria

Really enjoyed that. I was born in Longton in the 50's before eventually moving out of the area in the early 90's. I still come back to visit friends and family from time to time. Great to see some of the places from when I grew up.

Where I lived for the first 14 years of my life. Lived at 7 west street went to Weston coyney infants/middle school. Still walk my dog down the brook at the back then walk up west street & through the gully by the school. Although it's a lot different now west street still has many elements of what it used to be with many houses still the bricked up NBC houses & even one of the original painted (yellow I think) houses sitting at the bottom. It's just enough to get nostalgic about a time that has been forgotten but not by the huge amount of children who grew up here in the 70s & 80s. It was a great place to live with good community spirit & you were never short of something to do as kids. Great great days which are precious to me as my parents are no longer with us. Although perceived as a bit rough or not the best place to live I did live there & I will never forget the fantastic upbringing & childhood this estate provided me with. Mum & dad that's what coalville is to me.

Would be a different picture now

I was christened in this church in 1959. I was born nearby in 1958, in Dennington Crescent. As a young child, I remember the area around the Mill Pond was completely wild and overgrown. It looked like a bomb-site with wrecked cars, old bonfire sites and craters. The Pond always had old bikes and prams in it, as well as a family of swans. Then the council cleared it all and laid red-ash paths. It became quite a pleasant area, although the local kids lost their adventure playground! I've been back a few times but I haven't lived there for more than 45 years. Thanks for this lovely souvenir!

Memories! Have you got any pictures of the area around the festival park flyover? Particularly the railway line that went across the road from the Octagon retail park to Shelton bar?

Where about is this. How do I get there? Is this near Newstead industrial estate? Near the railway line?

Enjoyed the show at the end, thought there was a power cut. lol Really nice touch, bet it looks amazing from the sky

1:01 i only recognised that location cuz of the newer school that was built on that site
