And today? Still a shit hole. From the days when there was the Russell club......

Thats not salford housing stock

Yes born Hilda St Salford 7 in 1961 - a wonderful life- - evicted due to demolition to Kersal or Denbigh Place an utter slum with similar slum minded people!! My “born” house and location far better than where they moved us. Very sad - we lost everything 😢😢

I was the third child born 1961 in Salford 7 in a terrace and it was the best years of my life. We had coal fire, yes the cockroaches came and went but they were not a permanent fixture at all. We had a bath day and shared the water. An outside loo that DID NOT stink at all. Parents, neighbours and relatives close by that LOVED us. We were happy, we were grateful- would not change where I grew up. Poor for money but not for love or friends. Really sorry they destroyed my Salford. Coronation Street is and was back in the day in the 60’s a very poor representation of the TRUTH. Proud to have been a Salford girl - poor but very very happy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Top night

In about 1962 we lived in Kersal flats they were named after poets, Shelley was ours, we were high up as I remember at age 4 lowering my toy crane wire down from the balcony to tap on the neighbours windows, always made my own fun!

Selfish society nowadays, has been for years, the capitalists have made sure working class people don’t have much money to spare

Fantastic night, absolute class act.

Fantastic video. ❤

Lucky enough like yourself to be there last night ,top night.

Kersal flats went down hill from day one Salford city council are and have always been useless but you keep putting them in Swinton precinct eyesore but they spend council tax on Salford 🏉

My dad knew Tom pepper well

hes my great uncle!

Great memories of being brought up in Salford , remember walking most days through Buile Hill park to go to school St Lawrence’s and playing in there also at Chimney pot park close by.. Had a drive round Salford precinct couple years back couldn’t believe it was the same place and took me a while to find where I lived for close on 20 years Edgehill Close..

I remember watching this from the roof of Agecroft power station where I worked. They were a part of my life, as my Nan and grandad, then my aunt and uncle lived in the same house in Bradley Avenue. Also had many friends that lived in the flats.

Nice film of the pleasant side of things. It would also be interesting to see a contrasting one about the drug culture that would have been in full swing at that time and has never retreated.

Oh the good old days when man united could string a few passes together and hit the back of the net 😢

My Uncle and great grandma and my friend alf are in this video..good old days, when a dead rat could keep you occupied all day as a kid.

I wonder if the COPD and other respiratory illness people now elderly have from.this generation are because of this

Sexy ❤❤❤

Always thought Tony Wilson was a really attractive man. x

They fell straight down, even Tower 7, wonder if they used Thermite?

Whats this prison tv😮

Would appear that the "socialist housing experience" didn't work.

Why why, ruin a great community.

No hard hats, scaffold, co-ordinated signs, roads closed!!! Bish bosh done 😂 for a fraction of the price no doubt.

I couldn't imagine relying on the government to house me

Why have so many children?

Wonderful, insightful video excellent research. My parents are Irish and Caribbean and my Grandmother was from this area. She would have loved this video, I've recently settled not far from the area after living in the Midlands for most of my life and such research really grounds you in the areas heritage and history. Fantastic stuff

Please could you timecode which part was Little Hulton - thanks for the beautiful film!

The houses should of been saved and fully modernised not torn down just to build even worse slums . It was 1984 before i got a inside toilet and a bathroom . It didnt bother us because we knew no better

Propaganda for building awful new high rise flats

Just bought a copy of "Love on the Dole" so this is great.

Lovely view. James Callahan has a lot to answer for... Housing act 1977

It's so funny to me that often the people saying ''ahhh these were golden days, we were so brave for getting on with the hard times and had such a wonderful positive attitude'', are the people who were the kids in those days. Of course it's lovely and nostalgic, you weren't working like a dog, with barely a shred of human dignity, to feed a bunch of oblivious kids who would grow up to experience a revolution in human development unlike anything ever seen before. 😂😂😂 Maybe I'm wrong ....but I wonder if the elderly & adults in this film would be particularly nostalgic for these days 🤔

I have good memories from kersal flats in the 70s.

Very good exhibition on at Salford Gallery/Museum at the moment regarding slum clearance and tower blocks going up in that area. Well worth a visit

My Grandad and Grandma lived on Wallness Lane on Peel Park.. I spentany weekends there in the 60s

Was poo 💩 and still is all this roamanticising oh the good old days my backside....

I'm his son

great video !! i dod this a few weeks ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6isp2irr5Z2ircsi=VCBFYKwWGp4YsR5s

The original Coronation Streets.

Byron Hse the epicenre

Very steady video. Also love the songs. 👍 Is this area where the old Kersal Flats used to be? If so, it's so very radically different from how I remember it when I studied at Salford University, 1982 - 85. 😮

I lived in those flats the first few years of my life. Early 70s

if old houses are in cornwall, they call them cottages. if they are in salford they call them slums. its bigotry.

Salford is a waste of money

What's all the new development towards the end of the video, about? Ruined a lovely landscape.

By christ this takes me back

I was born an& brought up in a house like these .no indoor bathrooms had to bathe in a tin bath and go down yard to toilet .. happy days and I never thought of our house has a slum mam cooked cleaned and made a fire up before we all got up out of bed ..
