wow mick amazing video of Bury... you deserve more subs.

Enjoyed seeing the old Bury i grew up in, especially the short but sweet glimpse of The Coach & Horses(building with Duttons sign on corner) just the film panned out onto Princess St after the Bury Market at the start, been teying to find a photo for donkeys years, as i lived in the C&H when my grandparents ran it, thanks for sharing

I found the film of bury market very interesting , as I boy living in bury I remember going with my mum to the old market on Fridays, it was always full of people buying and selling .I also remember the fire thst destroyed the market hall sadly . And the temporary one then the new one being built ,it looked like the future of bury was saved ,and even today it's getting a new make over and will always be the best market in the country

Barbara Castle! Was this the kiss of death?😂

Its shocking how much just one northern town has been destroyed over such a short time..

Brilliant

A large part of Bury town centre was destroyed for a generic concrete shopping centre and Elton was literally razed to the ground for a road.

50 years on & it’s a hell of a lot different

Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting it. :-)

54 minutes in and we see the Lord Raglan Pub, family home to the Leyden Family, Father Michael and 3 sons, Terrence, John and Brendan and 2 younger sisters and of course Mum, I worked in the kitchens, cooking food with John serving customers, George took over when I was ill for a while (started with epylepsy - now stable)

49 mins in elton reservoir, my uncle Norman sailed and was steward there for some time before going on to make his own sails near Walmersley Road

31 mins in and we see webbs foundry, I lived on Milton Street facing it in the 60's, we used to watch the hammers pounding

Memories of my youth from a Bury girl who became an ex-pat in 1966.

Absolutely a gem of a film lots of old scenes and story . Very well done nostalgia at its best

Them days are truly gone😢

52:48 When the police looked like police (and not paramilitary in yellow jackets)

28:00 I remember seeing the film in Dec.1968 when I was 4 at the Classic cinema (which became Halifax building society)

Love watching old footage! Thanks for uploading!

Destroyed our towns like they have destroyed our culture.

The town of my birth 1944 🤗

Many memories very enjoyable 😀

My great grandad is the man in the official looking white wig during the Queen's visit to open the town hall. My granny remembered him very fondly, though he died before I was born (sudden heart attack aged 69).

Fantastic film, thank goodness for the filmmakers and archivists. Well done. 👏👏👏

I would love to see my mum when she was young, Marlene Cartmell~ later Finnerty.

Brilliant! Remember the tannoy from the indoor market? 😂

I went to. East ward. Infants junior and seniors. Between 1948 and 1959 and remember many class mates like Alan Roberts and Rod. Wallace and remember also headmaster Mr Williams l would love to hear from anyone from. That. Golden era I lived in. Willow Street and used to go the dinner centre for my cast iron and brylcream pudding. I can taste it. 😊

My mum went to school here 😍
