..Thanks for this upload i grew up in wythenshawe ..we lived in flat on Bleakey Rd peelhall for 2years then moved close to sharston baths ..great history,pubs,shops,buildings ..am amazed at brookway school because now-a-days it still has the same layout ..yeh the tattoo arms was great back in the days my mam n dad would take me n my sister there on bonfire nights ..church Inn pub is a Legend its still there as it is a listed building so is the crown pub ..Woodhouse Park n hollyhedge shops are beutyfull compared to today ..This is history at its best 🙂
I used to go from Stretford to Wythenshaw when I was a kid in the 50's. I thought it was in the 'country. I loved all the greenery and trees. We used to walk down to Ringway and watch the propeller planes take off. I remember it well, but my dad, who is approaching 94 (and now lives here in Australia) has much longer memories of growing up there. His first school was Brownley Green. His own dad worked at Potts Farm. Anybody remember that? I used to go there to see the pigs. I think it had a moat.
i grew up in Woodhouse Park (workhouse park).. i lived in Austell Road and attended Woodhouse Park Infant & Junior School before moving to Moss Nook Secondary Modern School.. i left Manc-land before anyone even thought of a shopping centre just up from Crossacres, never mind calling Wythenshawe a town. i remember walking to 'the bug hut' in Northenden, before The Forum was built.. i've been back since but was so disappointed to see what has been done to my 'playground'. The heart of the area has been ripped apart.. so sad..
When working class people owned their shops. uk ran by billionaires and massive companies like Tesco. Shame to see lots of shops go. I like Wythenshawe
So may memories before my youth I was sale moor lad Pulford Rd behind norris Rd, the yew tree pub a load of us biker lads used to go in there now and then on our x7s and rd's early 80 when I was you and game as top video well put together ❤️
The shops shown as Firbank are on Greenbrow Road, opposite the end of Firbank Road (where the pic was taken from). The Red Rose pub is just out of shot on the left.
Kingsdown Road Woodhouse Park, Oldwood School now North DEvon. Loved Shelagh Dowling from Hannet Road beautiful Catholic girl. Where are you Shelagh ? Baz.

Me too gosh those were good days weren't they. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@doeharris5363 Not Pat's sister ?
One one of the slides-Hollyhedge Shops- is spelt incorrectly, it should be HOLLYHEDGE and not HOLYEDGE (3:16 mins in).
I think anyone from Wythenshawe probably agrees it gets under your skin....happy memories playing footy on Brownley Green 3 hours a game.
Why are all the photos blurry, surely someone must’ve been able to take a better image. I gave up halfway 🧐
Felskirk boys 😂
My mum lived at 21 Baguley St. Before emigrating to Canada.
I believe Greenbrow Parade is correct. Flats close behind are the giveaway. Minsterley flats were further away.
The Brookway slide - Surely it was still West Wythenshawe Tech in those days ?
Yes I went there
Me too I was born 54 and was last group who went through West Wythenshawe High
Minsterly parade ! Ave it
So funny ⬆↗➡🔜🕉☯☯☯☯🔯☸🕎✡⚛🛐
Are you sure Greenbrow Parade is not Minsterly Parade ? As it looks like Simon Court Flats at the far end.
deffo greenbrow parade.
I agree Minsterly Parade 👍
The Tattun, am sure my uncles were regulars there.....
