Nags head used to be the fox vaults. Nice to see the Grapes is still open.

Mario’s chippy was brilliant

My Dad, Ilias, Monaf (who left and made Shabna in Monton) and Moina's Dad were all shareholders of Selina at the top of the stairs. Jerry was the Irish ex-boxer who was the bouncer. I used to go in since the 70s as a kid, till it got sold due to VAT reasons. Delmoring was the company name used many years later in the early 90s. My friend and his dad bought it (the ex-chief of Selina and his son, Islam) and it became Eastern Tandoori after that (I think the sign is still there) and then Moina bought it (son of one of the original partners of Selina Restaurant. I used to go in to see my Dad and also when he wasn't there and ate tandoori chicken, chips and gravy with my friends for free. I enjoyed helping put up the xmas decorations we bought from Makro back in 1978/79 before we changed the ceiling lighting. We used those decorations for decades ! We bought it it as the Canadian Steak House originally, hence the maple leaves on the toilet signs. A good place and lots of lovely memories, especially the xmas meals. I went walking with my mum round the back of it the other day , and all round the service section, the main precinct and took videos and pictures with her., especially near the service part of the old Selina. A spray artist called 'Rogue' used to spray his name everywhere. He died falling from the top of the multi story trying to spray his name. I was never sure if it was a rumour as it was before the Advertiser newspaper existed. The butchers originally was our storeroom in the 70s, then Mario's chippy opened, but before the butcher opened I think that the precinct wasn't fully built, but I could be wrong.

Good old barrys, use to get all our uniform. Got my first bike from brookes, most of the kids did. Not sure if you evere rember the pet shop further down lpool rd

Stop swinging your camera around so fast its horrible

Is he wearing one of those old school Fat Albert leather jackets?

The Oddfellows Arms was popular with Eccles College students in the Eighties. Doesn't look like many of the pubs are left now.

Let’s be honest it’s been a dump for decades good riddance

My mates mum the Town hall pub late 70s,early 80. Used to play on that car park. And get all the stuff out of the skips from Morrisons, Some ended up in the curry.. The alley way North way, Shops, pie in the sky, Farrels shoe repairs, Tims jewellers, Fabric shop. Flower shop. Changes mens clothes shop.Walter the jewish Taylors. , Jims butchers,, Inch by inch, sandwich shop, Just gents barbers, Touch of class ladies clothes , Fruit and veg shop, Wheel aways at the bottom.

In the early 80s I think the tandoori place at the top of the steps was a great Indian restaurant called the 'Salina' or something like that; full of piss heads on any given night (me included) but with a mad Irish lightweight boxer on staff to keep peace......memories of mayhem! I was thinking back to my time working with hundreds of other people right next door at the Royal Ordnance Factory ("ROF") in Patricroft - skilled, well paid, secure jobs.....ancient history now sadly. Watching this from 11 time zones & nearly four decades distant is poignant but heart-warming too; thanks for taking the time & effort to create this content; it's excellent.

It's definitely an eye sore mate 😂😂😂 looks horrendous that multi story building. The only thing that's worse in Salford is the Swinton Library

Lived here (not here specifically thankfully), but within the M30 postcode, for 20 years. This area really needs investment, evidently. Lots of great people live in Eccles, looks like a third world country now though, impoverished.

Used to eat my dinner on here when i went to college up the road. Be sad to see the place be smashed to bits but its massively out of date now, it does need flattening.

Used to love Play Inn! Spent all my pocket money in there on albums when I was a kid in the 80's :)

The Oobi Doo! That brings back memories of one we had in Kirkby in the late 70s/early 80s! 🤔👍

Blimey, that Greggs is still there! Remember Cider Bri? He was always hanging around outside there and that 99p shop.

My nana used to work at Oobidoo

The shape of things to come you can almost hear the death nell of places like these

No Salford maternity meaning no Salford born…only if home birth… 3 floors in hope hospital back in day. Not a open unit now.. got a unit on ingleside it’s temporary closed as usual…

It’s better than Salford shopping centre. ….absolutely bustling with folk these places in the day All Shyte holes now

Are there any artist impressions displayed anywhere depicting what it’s going to look like ? A excellent video, by the way.

So sad to see the place in this state. So many memories as a child. I remember all the shops being full and hundreds of people everywhere you looked. And yes I always wanted to know what was at the top of the ramp but my dad always went in the underground bit of the car park 😂

That was a really nice thing to do Paul since you have so many memories there. Very interesting! x

Had to do it with all the memories since I was a kid in the 70s. Really sad though we will never get to see these things ever again.

👏

Done the same myself. I managed to go onto the first floor next to the car park. Close up one floor up, it really is in a bad state.

Hammer 👍👍👍👍👍💖

Noooo I missed it

Interesting..
