thats actually brilliant, thank you

That was beautiful to watch brought a tear to my eye when I saw Lomax street thats where i was born x

Absolutely amazing ! Thank you.

...a fine documentary, great. I have visited Oldham from Manchester by tram and went back on foot in the end of may... A town with a big history !

The Labour council has ruined Oldham. Can't get them out of power.

Just found this video...absolutely fascinating...can't believe how many lovely, old buildings were knocked down for modernisation...couldn't some of the grander ones have been incorporated somehow? Still think " hole in the road" should have been left...Loved the early history too...wonder why Mary Queen of Scots is never mentioned on documentaries on telly that she spent fourteen years here in Sheffield? Never mind...Good vid! Cx

Wonderfully video of where I was born, in 1951 at Jane St. Very happy memories of my childhood but now that wonderful place is spoilt with traffic and wheely bins, very sad.

Does anyone know where Shibden Hall is?

God wtf happened to oldham

Great video, some lovely old pics of Sheffield, thank you for sharing, Sheffield really was very beautiful back in the day, with some stunning buildings full of character.... The old pics of Snig Hill that I've seen previously from engravings have it looking very Dickensian & full of charm. Also a big well done Sheffield city council, who over the years have taken a charming, often quaint city, and demolished beautiful old buildings full of character & charm & replaced them with absolute tripe, or worse still, nothing at all.... Concrete, glass, steel & brick in their modern form all look soulless at the side of what was there. I understand that the Germans did their bit in WW2 where replanning our city was concerned, (& some areas may have been more slum like than others & in need of a bit of makeover), but that's nothing compared to the criminal act of vandalising the city in the name of progress by our dear council. To paraphrase Jane Austen's Mr Knightly.... "Badly done, Sheffield Council".... It looked better before all the "men of vision" had a hand in it from the Victorian/post modern era onwards. I can never understand why many towns & cities in the UK manage to keep their old buildings & refurbish them, but that ours in Sheffield have to be got rid of for no reason that it's people can see, other than because some city planner wanted to leave their mark. Dogs leave their mark too, but it doesn't mean any of us would want to step in it!

Brilliant video, I go on through King Cross everyday to Luddeden Foot and can't how much it's changed. Good to learn abit of history of Savile Park aswel.

Is there anywhere Sheffield didn't pull down to widen the road? The city is a total dump most of planned by Sheffield city council.

When I see old footage like this it saddens me, you take a look around Oldham today it's heritage torn down less & less remains as today's generation replaces shops homes and buildings with immigration filth. Where's our Oldham heritage gone? Depreciation by modern day corporate greed yet it was our ancestors, our grandparents parents that built the backbone of Oldham. My gran worked in both Kent and manor mill during the cotton ages, only Kent mill remains. I don't think modern world appreciates heritage wherever you are or wherever you come from, heritage is only truly appreciated during it's time and era not present future is a reflection of the world today. #keepheritagealive

we had some wonderful buildings but sadly most of them have gone to make way for something perhaps more functional but not as historical

Though now cleaner looking the old charm of Keighley has now been lost.

She wasnt imprisoned in the Turret House but somewhere in the main house. She certainly will have visited the Turret House but it would have been to risky to imprison her there (close to the outside) - a one time guide there

Lovely video. Very interesting. I painted Victoria Hall and the Mousalium as part of my art degree. Born in Bradford @ the Duke of York, in the 60s and had family from Heaton.

This is my favourite RPG.

What a superb piece of work. Love it!

Remember te Adephi from my years at the school next door where i started primary school and completed my education at the school we got transferred to about 1951 or 2 just past the Adelphi i think it was langs fish shop always nosy for me across from the school was a bakery and a chemist used to buy sticks of cinnamon and smoke it those were the days but i always hated the cold and now live happily in a warm climate which i have done for nearly 70 years in a small quiet perfect place

this is such a cool video! I was born in Oldham and I still live here. I loved seeing the comparison photos.They knocked down so many nice buildings what a shame😢 I learned some new history about Oldham - thank you !

74 yrs ago I was born in Sheffield. Thank you for sharing this, it brought back many memories and a couple of tears....

Thank you for memories. Great sets of photos! I remember most of old Shipley..

My Gran and my Mum.were born there. Really enjoyed this. Thanks.

Good job with the fixed perspectives!

Lived in Queensbury for donkeys years Loved it and miss it

There was a time in the late 60's when I really enjoyed Oldham. Have to say though it was in decline even back then. It was what it was ,a place, that produced wealth for a few, and a living for every body else. Wouldn't say that it was a great place to live in back then as Britain was moving on, and it was very much in the shadow of Manchester which was an exciting, and thriving place. Did like the people though.

I was born there and lived there till i was 18 I find footage like this so interesting :D Really enjoyed watching this, i paused to take in the details of the pictures and info :D Thank you :D

Had a aunt Ivy and uncle Ernie Steeples that lived somewhere in Pudsey , remember going to stay with them in the very early 60s ,and wondered if any one can remember where they lived..I would have been about 6 or 7 then.

Very nice video, especially where old buildings are superimposed over new buildings. But it’s sad to see all traces of the late 1700s and early 1800s gone. Surely someone could have said during all the demolitions “let’s keep this building for people to look back on, a monument to past times”

Saltaire old station was closed not the railway itself....and the Shipley Pride is not at the Victoria Road junction........some brilliant photos on this video...there is a video on the Yorkshire Film Archive of some of the old buildings in Shipley being demolished ..........my dad was born on Atkinson Street..would love to see any old pics of the now demolished houses there. Mum was born at Hillside Cottages in Windhill site on which my Grannys flat was located later. I was born at Woodend in the flat above my Great grandparents

Great video. What a shame so many of the old buildings and architecture have been lost, to be replaced by modern monstrosities.

its grim

This was great. It must've taken such a long time to put together. Really enjoyed watching.

Thank you ❤

Excellent video, I love the ancient images and paintings of Oldham. The town would have been better put back to pasture when the industries had finished.

Lovely video great times but sad some of the building gone .

CREDE SIGNO 💙 🤍

Beautiful video with so many beautiful memories, thank you for the time and effort put into this splenid production could watch it over and over again.

Fantastic job just moved into the old brewery now white castle court so very interesting thanks

There's an error. The entertainment place at the bottom of Snig hill was called the 'Black Swan' in the '60s, hence it was colloquially know as the 'Mucky Duck'.

Am from huddersfield.every time I go for a visit something has changed.its not the same anymore.

Lived here for the first few years of my life and still miss it.

I grew up in qby

I just loved the tale of Oldhams past, beautifully done. Thank you. I’m now 72 years old and, joined the Armed Forces at 18 years of age. Leaving my home in Derker, to see the world. I can never go back to my roots because of it’s ruination. It once was a town with a soul. Now, it’s just a sh1thole. Stay safe people.

Excuse me luv, how can I get to Oldham 😉

I,Found,This,Video ,Very,Interisting,Thanks,For,SHARING,It

My late mother came from Halifax we used to go there 3 times a year from when I was about 9 until 14, I haven’t been since 1972 and not seen any of my family there since then. I want to go back soon before it’s too late to visit where she came from and take my son also remember many happy times. I’m sure it’s completely different now! Thank you for the video
