Great city this built on CASH! Manchester was the brokerage centre for cotton but Oldham had far more cotton mills The driving force in Manchester was money and invention - I love it!
Just found this video, it's great! I live in the northern quarter, just off great ancoats street. I've been fascinated about the history of the buildings which seems to have been (mostly) forgotten or erased. Most people living here are probably oblivious to the reason the beautiful buildings they're living in are standing. My Grandad who died back in 1989 was born and raised in Ancoats, I only found this out a year ago after finding his birth record online. It's nice to know that a man I never knew but I'm so closely related to lived just over the road!
I visited Manchester today for the first time on a day trip to visit an art exhibition, as a life long Londoner I was seriously impressed with the cities historic architecture and general good atmosphere. After seeing your whole history playlist back to back I’ll return in the spring to explore, thanks for the well produced inspirational work on your city 🐝
I am old enough to remember the slum dwellings. When I was Primary school age, we lived at 5 Peacock Street in Gorton, long demolished in the early 1970's the street named after Bayer-Peacock in an Victorian old 2 up, 2 down with no hot water, except for a small gas boiler above the kitchen sink, a tin bath, outside toilet down the bottom of the yard and a cast iron range in the downstairs back room. I went to Peacock Street Primary, I believe the same Primary school as Myra Hindley did. It seems ancient, but I am only in my middle 50's. My kids and Grand kids think I was brought up in the Stone Age, but it is only 50 or so years ago. They take for granted such things as double glazing, central heating and wifi.
Great video! For example a city in Poland called Łódź was nicknamed "Polish Manchester" - just like it, it grew exponentially in the 19th century as a textile manufacturing city, becoming one the largest such cities in Europe with Polish, German, Russian and Jewish capital flowing in. Most famous factory (still standing and redeveloped) was Manufaktura. The city is also a stage was an amazing book by Wladyslaw Reymont "The Promised Land", telling the story of an early 19th century cutthroat capitalism.
Love the history of Manchester series, great content, can't get enough of it. Any thoughts on doing a series about the oldest pubs left in Manchester before they've all gone. I'm 57 and used to come into Manchester in the early 80's on pub crawls with mates and I'd say 50% of the old pubs have now gone. Thanks for your content and great efforts 👍
Loving this series and channel. I'm a born and bred Mancunian yet I know very little of the City's history beyond the canals (I grew up in Worsley so we learned something if it). So thanks for these, it's been fascinating.
Whole family grew up in Manchester some years past. Wonderful to see it's legacy like this out there for many to see. Would love to see you do a tribute to Belle Vue.
Thanks for doing these videos! They are hugely interesting to me, as my ancestors came down from Scotland to Manchester in the early 19th century. They were machine makers and had their iron works under the name of Crighton & Co. and Crighton & Sons at Lower Mosley Street, Great Bridgewater Street, and later at Castlefield for the most part of the century. Someday I’ll need to visit the city!
Can't believe I've only just found you! Seriously, probably the best historical view of Manchester I've seen. Well done, be watching one a night for the foreseeable.. 👏👏
Hi olly...what can I say? I effin love this series. .each one is like a historical video painting..well researched well put together well done mate! Best wishes and take care
Recently new to your channel, I’ve been working my way through all your old films. I’ve been holding off making a comment to request an episode just like this one in the hope that I’ve come across it. My grandmother and her family (Pinner) immigrated from Manchester - leaving Robert St. West Gorton in 1927. She arrived in Australia 6 y.o. Thank you for this excellent episode. It gives us a bit of insight into how ordinary people lived. It would be great to learn even more about how and from where all the people who migrated into Manchester came from.
Superb video! This is such a rich & interesting period that's always captured my imagination. Despite the rush of new builds in the city over the last 20 years its still amazing that there are little pockets of history doted around. Technically your presentation and the quality of your work is right up there too, well done!
Another great video, Ollie. Belle Vue was bought by the Trusthouse Forte group in the 1980s. They ran it into the ground and sold the site for redevelopment.
Brilliant video!!¬ I was lost in it for every minute of it, although I come from over the border in Pudsey twixt Leeds and Bradford. I can remeber everything there being black too! The only let down was the fact that you didn't sing Runcorn! Phil, East Yorkshire
Ollie, I am just so thrilled with your films, I wish I had had you as my history teacher when I was at School. You are such a great communicator. I lived near Manchester as a girl, and know many of the places you talk about, but I have learned so much more, that I did not know, by listening to your films. I now live in Yorkshire, but it makes me want to go back into Manchester and go and re-look at some of the places you mention. Thank you so much for the considerable time and effort that you have gone to, to make these, it has brought my husband and myself so much pleasure watching them.
It's just a little detail, but growing up and even now, whenever we were going into the city centre, we'd say we're going into town, I wonder if that came about from the city's beginngings as a town. 🤔 Thank you for the video, it's much appreciated. 🐝🐝
I was born in Manchester not far from Belle vue it was a wonderful place for a child and l remember the big car parks filled with buses every day with visitors it’s many many years since l left Britain for New York and l enjoy the videos showing city of my youth Thank you
Thanks Ollie, as usual your presentation and editing skills have delivered another first class video, packed full of history and real interest. Growing up in Chorlton-on-Medlock I often walked down Daisy Bank Road on the way to and from primary school. Climbing the old stone gate towers from the toll gates, some of which were still in place in the early 60's. I knew people who still lived in cellar bed sits in and around Nelson Street. My old street, Summer Street, off Upper Brook Street, is long gone but I'm surprised to see how many small pockets of history still remain around there. Looking forward to the next episode as always. Thanks again!
My wife taught at a school founded in Victorian times in Rochdale . In the 19th century when the children were 8 years old they had to work half a day in the local cotton mills . Mornings one week and afternoons the next. Ian Duckworth.
These videos are wonderful, thank you! They've given our genealogical digging from the states (via our records in Rochdale, Oldham, Shaw, and Shropshire) so much more depth.
There is something to be said for small parks, they can be safer than big ones and a large number of them can be beneficial. Jane Jacobs had good things to say about them. Great video as always
Channel goes from strength to strength these layers of history as you peel it back is always so revealing.. For example what is now Banglatown in London once edge of City and green fields then huegenots then Jewish ghetto and Tailoring then Bangladesh Clothing Trade. In London you can the pump that was investigated Snow and proved his theory..
Fantastic stuff, I am a lover of our Manchester Industrial history. Have you ever thought of working on a collaboration with Martin Zero, he has the same passion as you about our city ?
I think of movie with a little kid that's a chimney sweep when you describe the slums. Mary Poppins maybe. Such a long time ago. I bet wherever movie it was was using that for a reference.
Fantastic video mate! Extremely entertaining and educating. You certainly have a knack for exploring historic subjects and making them deeply interesting! Thank you!
Another entertaining and informative video! I really enjoy them. Your videos made me start researching Manchester more. I went there once as a 16-year-old, but I didn't really know anything about the history at the time. Your videos inspired me to look more into it and made me want even more to travel back there again. Your videos are so well researched and it's obvious you spend a lot of time and effort making them, I wish they would get more views, because they truly deserve it. Keep it up!
Wow I was watching your videos when you were making them about Roman Manchester/Castlefield and through lockdown your channel has really gone to the next level!!! Hope you stick at this, the history surrounding Manchester is endless and it’s quite rare to find on youtube! Even the translations of area names would make a quality vid.... Wythenshawe (whether you’re a fan or not), is named so because the Anglo-Saxons called it ‘Withigensceaga’, which meant: “small wood of willow trees”, today it means Wythenshawe. Northernden is named so because the Anglo Saxons built a small fort on the Mersey and named it “the northern den”, or so the tale goes! Couple of fun or not so fun facts for you😎!!
I wish history was taught like this and a number of other RUclips.. Parks in my London area (E18 South Woodford edge ofindon) We have luckily have Epping Forest a 7,000 acre ancient forest some ground of long gone stately home Wanstead Park that rivalled Blenheim Palace and other land enclosed and taken back by the Public via the courts And given to the people by Queen Victoria.. The Quakers had a huge affect in the UK..
Great mini-history. You can see the legacy of the cotton industry in the sewing specialist shops in the Northern Quarter, e.g. Fred Aldous Ltd, and one other shop I can unfortunately not find on Google Maps - a real gem of a store that I discovered pre-pandemic. BTW: You might like to cover the role of the immigrant German and Polish communities in Manchester. There was a Polish community in Manchester long before the EU. There was also a sizeable German commumity in Liverpool (who fell victim to the riots after the sinking of the Lusitania).
Great info. My Dad was born and raised there. I have have never been but sent my Daughter to see it. RUclips says spelling error when I try to say where. LOL. Wythen.....
Excellent series pal, looking forward to watching the next one 👍🏻 if you ever need a volunteer camera man give me a shout, would love to help out 👍🏻 I’m only local 😂
Interesting that you mentioned how the town hall is actually a city hall as I don't know any Mancunian that refers to the city centre as anything other than 'town'
Good work! So let me get this right. Albert Square is triangular? Reminds me of a pizza - round, packed in a square box and cut into triangles...Seriously though, a thoroughly professional video. I thank you!
I'm from the States and have found this series to be very informative and enjoyable to watch. In this video you mentioned there would be a number 7. Is that still in the works?
I haven't seen the whole of this series so I don't know if you have explored the history of Salford. Salford, as you know, was a separate and distinct city 'over the river' from Manchester. It too was a powerhouse of the industrial revolution. Sadly, much of the city was demolished in the early 70s including my mother's birthplace of Upper Cleminson Street. Pretty much all the Victorian housing has gone and was replaced by high rise blocks and maisonettes, which in turn are being torn down.
Alfred Waterhouse built the Rochdale Town hall Clock tower in 1866 / 1871 the Town Hall used for the buying and selling of Wool Also Rochdale still has weavers cottages still standing
I’m from Manchester and I see these houses and buildings often and had no idea how interesting our city is and how much history it has. Great video
Great city this built on CASH! Manchester was the brokerage centre for cotton but Oldham had far more cotton mills The driving force in Manchester was money and invention - I love it!
Manchester has a proud history and is now the fastest growing city in the uk
Just found this video, it's great!
I live in the northern quarter, just off great ancoats street. I've been fascinated about the history of the buildings which seems to have been (mostly) forgotten or erased.

Would be interesting to know about your Grandad and the history of the buildings.

Aw that's great to hear. You're welcome back any time!
I'm a Scouser, but that was an amazing video about Manchester!
Cheers thanks! Wait till I get round to Liverpool one day!
@@BeeHereNowuk I watched the train one you did in Liverpool recently, another excellent video
Liverpool retains a cotton exchange to this day. The cotton trade was vital to Liverpool -a global industry!

Wow. Absolutely superb. Lucky enough to be mancunian so it's all familiar to me...
I like your take on History you showing a side we hardly ever see. You are do doing a great job really like your site.

fantastic video lad.. it deserves way more views than it has.
What a great series. Fascinating stuff. Keep up the good work😀👍
Finally getting round to watching this now! i have one huge backlog of vids to watch! Great video! :)
Didn't L.S Lowry live in Victoria park for a while?
Wow! You covered some ground in this video. Good effort.
Would you consider doing a video about the hospital that used to stand on Piccadilly garden's?
Yeah, defo. Id need to learn a bit more first though.
Cheers mate thanks!! 🤜🤛
The only place ive heard or seen Anything about it were Photos in weatherspoon's on Dean's gate.
Can't believe I've only just found you! Seriously, probably the best historical view of Manchester I've seen. Well done, be watching one a night for the foreseeable.. 👏👏
Thanks very much that's so nice! I was actually just sitting here wondering whether it's worth working on the next chapter so maybe this is a sign! 😄
Hi olly...what can I say? I effin love this series. .each one is like a historical video painting..well researched well put together well done mate! Best wishes and take care

blimey that john snow map of cholera outbreaks is terrifying. just looking at where I live..it must have been devastating..

Another great video, Ollie. Belle Vue was bought by the Trusthouse Forte group in the 1980s. They ran it into the ground and sold the site for redevelopment.
Excellent documentary, very well researched and presented, thank you.
Can't wait for the next part(s) of the story and see how Manchester has developed over the years.
Brilliant video!!¬ I was lost in it for every minute of it, although I come from over the border in Pudsey twixt Leeds and Bradford. I can remeber everything there being black too! The only let down was the fact that you didn't sing Runcorn!
Phil, East Yorkshire
But, everybody loves Runcorn! It's where the chemicals come from and everybody loves chemicals!
Working class / Middle Class people are some of the BEST in the world.... Great vid and thanks for posting.........
Thank you very much 👍
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Excellent and informative. My Gt grandparents moved from rural Cheshire to Harpurhey in 1885. This would have been there world
Interesting stuff. Thanks

Brilliantly informative as always.

Great video as always
Quality video again. Very much looking forward to the next one.
Cheers thanks!
9.05. A few weeks ago i changed the postbox lock and front door lock to that front door on wood street. It is now a high end HMO.

Great stuff . Thank you 👍
Cheers thank you!
thanks for doing this. its wonderful.
have you ever thought about doing where i live in pendlebury? love it if you did.
I think of movie with a little kid that's a chimney sweep when you describe the slums. Mary Poppins maybe. Such a long time ago. I bet wherever movie it was was using that for a reference.

Fantastic video mate! Extremely entertaining and educating. You certainly have a knack for exploring historic subjects and making them deeply interesting! Thank you!

One thing missing, external Mic for better audio, apart from that the video was very well done and put together.

Northernden is named so because the Anglo Saxons built a small fort on the Mersey and named it “the northern den”, or so the tale goes! Couple of fun or not so fun facts for you😎!!
He already made a vid on Manchester district names some while ago, but cant remember if Wythenshawe was in it. At least he didnt translate Ramsbottom.
@@lifeschool cheers mate just found that video you’re speaking of👍🏼
Could you do a vid on the old house in deb dale pls ... i grew up in the 70s .. and knew the Davenports that lived there .
Thanks for uploading this from a true manc 🐝👍
I wish history was taught like this and a number of other RUclips..
Parks in my London area (E18 South Woodford edge ofindon)
We have luckily have Epping Forest a 7,000 acre ancient forest some ground of long gone stately home Wanstead Park that rivalled Blenheim Palace and other land enclosed and taken back by the Public via the courts
And given to the people by Queen Victoria..
The Quakers had a huge affect in the UK..
Great mini-history. You can see the legacy of the cotton industry in the sewing specialist shops in the Northern Quarter, e.g. Fred Aldous Ltd, and one other shop I can unfortunately not find on Google Maps - a real gem of a store that I discovered pre-pandemic. BTW: You might like to cover the role of the immigrant German and Polish communities in Manchester. There was a Polish community in Manchester long before the EU. There was also a sizeable German commumity in Liverpool (who fell victim to the riots after the sinking of the Lusitania).
Great info. My Dad was born and raised there. I have have never been but sent my Daughter to see it. RUclips says spelling error when I try to say where. LOL. Wythen.....
Family house still exists but is a council house. Family has been in it since the 20s
Excellent series pal, looking forward to watching the next one 👍🏻 if you ever need a volunteer camera man give me a shout, would love to help out 👍🏻 I’m only local 😂
Interesting that you mentioned how the town hall is actually a city hall as I don't know any Mancunian that refers to the city centre as anything other than 'town'
Remember visiting a submarine in Salford Quays in the 70s. Blew my mind that submarines could come up the Manchester Ship Canal.
Good work! So let me get this right. Albert Square is triangular? Reminds me of a pizza - round, packed in a square box and cut into triangles...Seriously though, a thoroughly professional video. I thank you!
I'm from the States and have found this series to be very informative and enjoyable to watch. In this video you mentioned there would be a number 7. Is that still in the works?
Hey that's great thanks for watching them. Yes it's something I'm working on at the moment but it might not be complete for a while yet.
Lovely buildings.
Something should be done to preserve them.
Absolutely. Without them the Northern Quarter wouldn't be the Northern Quarter.
Sir Edward Watkin provided 4 public parks for the people, he was a great Mancunian who went on to greater things like the Great Central Railway
Hey, I really like the Cherry Ripe song but I've only been able to find one version of it on RUclips with

I went to a really good rave in that old police station in about 2007/8

Satanic Mills 💯👌 really well made.. Brilliant information, phots, editing,.. ☕💯👀
I thought these building would be on the list thing you have there as historical and not allowed to be demolished?
