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!

Alky central

The thing on the fin is called a snowflake insignia.

Apparently the Metropole hotel is closed at the moment and is full of illegal migrants, saw a Vlog on KZbin .

I was born in 1963 this video including all the photographs have brought back a lot of good memories of my hometown. At 4.57 there is a still image of Lane End and the houses that have been demolished our house was just where the substation now stands it was number 13 and the last one beyond the row that still stand's. 3 houses were demolished on that row obviously including ours. I visit a couple of times a year as most of my siblings still live there. I recently walked around the precinct and the town centre what a mess. Salford council have ruined what was a lovely market town. I know lots of town's have suffered decline but Eccles is pretty much a Ghost town. Can the Eccles people not demand for Salford to be gotten ridden of as the Guardian of the town as they have done nothing of any good! Great video and photos by the way thankyou for posting this here and well done.

👏

Yes, my answer was precisely for wahyuchanel. Many people know the canals of the continent and not so much those of the UK, and they often find it difficult to locate them. Nice views of the canal!

Netherland or Denmark ?

3:06 i love that whistle

Nice video with some good memories. Wish you’d recorded the bit through Boothstown where I grew up. Thanks anyway.

DMU WEEKEND (Name of the event) - I love the DMU drags especially

i remember me dad taking us to see the submarines when they passed our house at 75a peel green. road spent many a days watching the battle ships coming down the canal in the late 70's, running up woodyard road, we watched those chimneys come down from r house, use to get marbles from that place, emigrated to Canada in 81 but still come back to where i was brought up, cheers mate for the pics i have so many pictures

If you kept the class 24 clip at Ramsbotham going for another 5 secs you’d see me leaving the train 😊

It's needs to be fixed up The rent is to high

We never knew what we had till we lost it. Raised in Patricroft in the 60s. Getting chased by Alf the Parky on Ivy St park. The Court School of Dancing every weekend. Snakebites on the grass outside the Cross Keys. Darts nights round all the Joey Holt pubs. Chips, peas n fried egg from Johnny Liu's chippy on Green Lane. Being a waiter upstairs at the British Leg Iron when Peter n Vera had it. Me n my mate working in Chi Fok's chippy on Trafford Rd. Eeeeh I could go on all night............ happy daze, gone for ever

Eccles had a great market. I remember as a kid hearing Eadie Barnes booming voice from the veg stall. My mum worked in one of her shops in Patricroft before I was born

Needs a good scrub !

That's been a mess for sometime, never could workout those boat sculptures, they look like.. (I can't say out of politeness) Pressure cleaning those walls might be a good idea. The place has got potential. Re-open the coalmine.

I was born in Salford and after we moved to Little Hulton I would cycle to Eccles market every Saturday to work on a carpet stall. Thanks for posting such brilliant images 🙂
