0.16 Norfolk Park, my Nan lived in bottom flats, that first house next to bridge was my dentist, I lived there from 1969 to 2008, we were the second family on the estate after it was built and the longest standing tenants when we left. The bottom end of Norfolk Park was a wonderful place to grow up in the 70’s and 80’s, Bluestone school was great, social centre on shops Thursday night, wonderful community, wonderful friends, wonderful neighbours, spent our days playing in a choice of three different woods that surrounded our part of the estate, Castle woods, middle woods and top woods, wonderful area, surrounded by green, Poverty ? Naaaahhh, we weren’t made of money but we wanted for nowt. Estate started to go down the pan in the 90’s when they moved all the druggies in off Kelvin, now it’s just an unrecognisable shizhole. We had the best of this place and I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up anywhere else, so many wonderful memories.
It's grim up north.
(Before anyone says owt, I'm a northerner.)
Sheffields not that bad anymore tho
As someone from Newcastle, we find the idea that Sheffield is "the north" rather laughable.......
@@th8257 So do I, sheffield is more the heart of England if anything but we're seen as northerners
Like Manchester if Sheffield wasn’t the shit hole it was it wouldn’t have created so many incredible bands in the 70s and early 70s.

As someone from Alnwick, we (like you I did a survey) find the idea that Newcastle is “the north” rather laughable……
I feel sorry for anyone having to endure these desolate conditions . You would be in a state of constant depression !!
Doncaster and Sheffield were grimey and stank back in the 80's. I used to travel to Sheffield a lot back then. I worked on the Manor Estate renovation in 1989 too, we'd fit new doors and the next day they'd been removed. Loads of violent thieving going on, one shop got fire bombed because of the owners Pakistani background. Glad I lived in smelly Doncaster.
Ah!...the good old days!....soon to return in force :(
Grew up there in the 70’s and it was even worse
S2 Pal ;-)
Sad to see estates.then jobs😐down will they get better
I had family that lived in the manor in the 70s
What happened to those very nice looking houses
Threads
This looks like Dormanstown near Redcar

Hi from Georgia !
Which Georgia?
Poverty is awful indeed
Poverty? What's poverty got to do with crumbling buildings, I'm assuming by poverty you don't mean the government? Why did they let things get into that state
@@OMG-seriously still is bad here some places FYI I'm from here
@@Rob_Walker. being hungry , not having clothes that's poverty. Crumbling buildings is a government issue. Britain is a very rich county
@@OMG-seriously which most family's are parents go hungry because they need to feed there children one family from London moved here she was on universal credit missed her appointment by 10 mins and was sanctioned. They was not bothered she didn't know the area they take money from families daily trust me food banks hare have never been so busy
@@Rob_Walker. Things are always worse with Tories, they were probably in power when this video was taken.
👍🏻👍🏻
I can see why Threads was filmed there
hah, I was just about to post, "is this is the sequel?"
You get to see how absolutely awful so much of the 80s was here, and yet you still get people on different threads completely mis remembering and reinventing the past and talking about the 80s as of it was done kind of golden era. In fact, as this video shows, it was mostly grey, bleak and miserable
Look some area where shite, but then some areas even noware shite.
Not everywhere was shite, many areas where brilliant back then
Milton keynes where i lived was great, loads to do, tons of concerts...so steel areas or ship building areas where crap, but that's because those types or work went bust
Forgot mining areas became poor as well.
So its not people remembering from rose tinted glasses, it depends what age you were, and where you lived in the 80s
Same old demographic. Probably attend Tommy Robinson marches. I call them human detritus.
Are you watching Andrew Neil?
Maybe you should before you comment on deprivation in Glasgow.
No thanks to Thatcher.
The UK needed reform of its industries to make them competitive in the modern world, the political ambitions and power of many trade unions prevented that reform. So when change did come the pain was that much greater for some people. For me and many others the 1980s was fiscally rewarding, but then I had an open mind, was prepared to accept change and was not driven by bankrupt political ideology
Look at what you open-minded types have done to the UK now...
@@dezmondwhitney1208 so you think we shouldn't be open minded, we should be closed to new ideas and live in some sort of modern stone age. You have to two choices move forward and try to succeed or stand still with the guarantee of failure
@@michaelsalt4565 You claim to be Open Minded. Your response suggests an Inward looking ''Individual'' and someone who is not part of ''Society''. What happened then was not simply the refusal to stand still was it? It was Asset Stripping, Demolition , and the Relegation of the Industrial UK to a Rentier scrubland for the sake of myopic and inward looking ''Individuals''. I Question your casual employment of the terms ''Open Minded''. ''Move Forward'' and ''Try to succeed'' as they can be ill used superficially.
@@dezmondwhitney1208 I believe you should open your mind to ideas you don't agree with. I am afraid political slogans of the right or the left don't really cut any ice with me. I am a pragmatic realist, who seeks opportunities with change rather than identifying fictional threats.
@@michaelsalt4565 ''Pragmatist'', nice word . I have described accurately what that has done to our once thriving country. You can introduce as many terms and words that you can think of. Changes nothing...
'Licence' Are you a Yank? Grrr!
