I used to go there when my dad was flying and he was still until recently, flying the G-BSCL Chipmunk. Went to a christmas party there in the early 80's but got snowed in on the way back to Congleton and stuck in a pub all night at Marton. I was very young then.

I get so paranoid walking on the street below it. Always think its gonna fall over on me where the overhanging bit is 😂 great footage 👍

Cartel monies

All gone now following the invasion and takeover, just like much of the north west.

Brought up in weaste during the seventies and eighties I drive through Eccles everyday on way home from work it’s completely different area to what it was I can’t believe Salford council has run it down to what it is today sad 🥲

I was on this magnificent ship that day such a wonderful experience sailing into Liverpool a great video my friend thank you for sharing .. 👍👍🎸😎🎸BB (👍1 )

I remember going there in the late 80's. Sad it is no longer around. Was a good day out for folk.

8:55 The building to the right of Rumbelows is the National Provincial Bank. My father was manager there around 1960. 9:02 looks like the Barton High Level bridge which carried the then M62 over the Ship Canal. I walked across it when they opened it to pedestrians before it was officially opened to traffic. 12:02 I used to buy my records from The Music Box.

"Is Southport, merseyside"?

Its sad to see how eccles has gone downhill since the 90s

Why start in Eccles , 30 miles away on the Chat Moss line.

Loved that cafe proper old school. But it’s not all doom n gloom I heard there moving to Church Street.

I was a passenger on many of the buses shown here, as from 1956 to 1981, I lived in North Manchester, the area covered by Queen's road Depot, Cheetham. The Leyland Panther Cub (Number 56) shown here went along the route near where I lived from 1964 to 1981 in Higher Blackley. Around the time, the 62 bus shown here went between Heaton Park and Ryebank Road, Chorlton, not the places shown on the destination board. I caught this bus for 7 years, as although I lived in Higher Blackley, North Manchester, I went to school in Whalley Range, South West Manchester. The Transport Museum is a great place to visit.

Great video thanks for posting

That Class 20 looks tidy. Nice video and photos. Thanks.

I just came back from it

Bring back the old Eccles.

So many memories!!!

Sad thing is them days have forever gone.

The good old Feinians of the IRA,they spent decades Bombing the English to create a United Ireland,but have sold their soles for 30 pieces of EU silver,and have invited half of Africa to Ireland as long term population replacement

Did Manchester a favour. Looks better now than it did before the bomb. Nobody died thankfully.

Lunn Poly - Getaway!

Christian radicals

My grandparents left Lithuania with their children to find a better place to live, and I'm not a bit Irish or on either side of the fence so maybe I don't have a right to say anything, but I know heartbreak and pain when I see it, and evil never does anything good. God bless the Irish.

I was outside my house 1 half miles away from the city center and heard this go off

I didn't know it derailed ! I thought it just caught fire !

Have all these places really gone?

I’ve lived Eccles for 13 years… it’s really heart breaking to see it looking the way it does now. It’s a ghost town

Igrew up in Ellesmere park having moved from Ordsall.. great place to live.. my brother was an officer at Green Lane Police Station and I worked at GEC in Trafford park..great days..

This brought lots of memories back from years ago , thanks for sharing.

Born at Hope Hospital and grew up in Boothstown. Lovely stuff. Many thanks for filming and sharing.

Does anyone have an updated pic of G-ZXCL, much appreciated 😊

I grew up in Boothstown and this area (when it was still The Basin) was one of my childhood playgrounds.

The Bluebird Belles are so fantastic !

This Yank says you are very good singers and very pleasing to the eye!

I was next to the van

You missed me

Thats no pump- it's the shaft winding engine.

there's some sad looking boats there, what a shame

Currently having a new staircase put in last week and currently work in progress

they should of had the Bee Network in Orange not that faded yellow.

This is the former Stockport number 71 in GMT orange and white. There is also 5891 (91) the last rear entrance Titan and 5897 (97) the last Stockport bus, front entrance rebuilt to open top both in red and white livery.

Great video, enjoyed driving 5871 on the Sunday, nice memories for me 👍👍

This would be my ideal "man cave". These buses evoke many memories of growing up around Salford and Manchester as a kid.

I didn't realise Class 14's sounded so good. But why do they have that bar coupled to the wheels ?

Nice video!
