Amazing. Don't remember every hearing about it. Many thanks.

That was really interesting. Thank you.

Lost sympathy for Spence when he left his family, to go wasting money watching poor birds dying awfully. Great video though!

We went for a tour around neepsend by a local man who lives in Kelham island ...he told us Douglas rd is named after the abolitionist fredrick Douglas...he actually visited the area when met a local lady forgot her name as she was a abolitionist too ..the mural is on the cutlery works wall..

Comming from Mansfield, we all know why chesterfield has a crooked spire. The spire reflects the people of Chesterfield as they are all crooked too😉

Maybe those pipes at 6:20 are the main oxygen msuns supply that serves all the local steel works ? Maybe they just happened through the site. Is Brinsworth British Oxygen Works still there ?

Fantastic attempt

v interesting

Can u do a video of canklow where joblot supermarket is

The Hyper Blaster's location is in Chicago, Illinois, not Michigan.

My friend was killed on this road by 2 idiots racing 😡

😮What school would have been located on parkwood springs village ,? would it have been Woodside school 🏫 🤔

The smaller archway would have been coal delivery to a cellar most likely .😊

An absolutely fabulous explore of a once stunning venue! This is the second video of yours I’ve watched so far today and as a keen amateur social historian myself, I definitely had to subscribe! Keep up the good work and I look forward to binging on more of your videos over coming days! 😉

Can’t believe it’s 25 years since that Jimmy Glass goal 😮 man alive I’d have thought 15 years max. Obviously remember the Wolves game as the late 80’s, that was massive news at the time with the image of matey falling through the roof 😂 Like old bill come down hard on Wolves because of their adventures in the lower leagues back then, operation growth(get rid of Wolverhampton troublesome hooligans) probably collapsed in court like all the other undercover football stings of that era.

I love any dog so can't pick they are all loyal and our best friends

I lived across the road from here as a kid and played in the grounds as many children did, I also worked in the pavilion for a few years and had my wedding reception their back in 1999. I’ve watched the whole area go from an amazing place to a total mess shame on Kirklees council for not up keeping this historic place 💜

I used to go to Saltergate as a youth in the 90s, it was great, a total dump for sure but even then it was a rare slice of old school football viewing. In around 2000 changes were made to the terraces which for me destroyed the authenticity it had just a few years earlier, the Compton Street terrace was abandoned (previous to this the Spion Kop and Compton Street terraces were accessible to anyone coming in through the Kop turnstiles on Saltergate, general practice was to migrate from Compton Street in the 1st half to the Kop in the 2nd half to get as close as possible to the on pitch action!), later the Compton Street terrace was partially filled in and the back portion was then seated. Such a shame that the ground had to be mutilated prior to it being abandoned, but this was evidently to satisfy safety requirements. This is why ultimately I am happy that Chesterfield moved to the B2Net / Proact / Technique / SMH Group Stadium, it's a really nice ground with good facilities and Saltergate by then was the shadow of it's former self.

Remember Chesterfield v mansfield that was always fun 😂😂😂 Great video . Miss saltergate Spireite till i die

Memories of better times 😢

I'm from Castleford but as for supporting Castleford Tigers don't think so. I used to watch the Tigers but now I know how they string the youth along. It's all 🐂💩 there's no money in Rugby League. It's a shame how the game has gone downhill

I worked for Pindar Print from 1989 to 1991. I went to watch Scarborough on an evening match and Vinnie Jones was playing. As a Wolves fan, from birth, I was disgraced by our fans behaviour at Scarborough. I think the guy who fell through the roof was from Cannock, my Birth town. Shocking behaviour. I loved my time in Scarborough. A wonderful, friendly town. I was blessed.

I came across your interesting video through researching my family history. On the 1921 census I found my grandfather, a coal miner (hewer) stated that he was working at the Rotherham Main Colliery at Canklow, so out of curiosity I googled the colliery name and your video came top of the list. Great presentation, I really enjoyed seeing the site and what little remains, it must have been a hive of activity in its hey day. Many thanks, regards from Mallorca.

Love that ground

Great video. I remember exploring the main stand in the 90s as a kid just before it was pulled down, having a look around the changing rooms. I remember the big concrete terrace opposite was still present back then - I actually I can't believe how overgrown it is now as it's still the concrete terrace in my mind 😄 The clubhouse in the corner stayed open for many years after.

I can remember going there as a kid at school with some skis.

INTERESTING SHARE

Toddick I thought it was Todwick unless that a nick name. 😀

Love this! Went here nearly every Friday when it was pop nightclub

St jophs play there now

I was one of the 100+ crashes here (very minor happily). Also drove past a terrible one in the 80s as a child. Knew of the people involved in the really bad one - that was a drunk driver who caused that. The bends were the worst part as cars and especially trucks didn’t realise how tight it was.

This was the true price of coal

the builder that gave you permission is my dad haha i helped work on this building 😆

I'm sorry have I pronounced this wrong for almost 40 years? Is it toddick or Todwick? Otherwise amazing video, really enjoyed seeing what was once so familiar but now hard to imagine. Great vid mucka 👍🏻

I played a High School Cup final there in 2013 for King James and won. Thanks for this video, my dad would have loved it, lifelong Fartown fan!

great video thank you

Snail

Fabulous old building went in their many times in the 60s when it was The Essoldo Cinema. My last visit was 51 years ago in 1973 to see The Exorcist. It's brought back so many great memories thanks for posting.

Just added it to google maps!

Just checked on google maps, its not on there as an historic site...should be

Spent much of my childhood there. Playing with friends around the site. We watched the whole strike and the gradual transformation into a wasteland . Still my favorite place to visit.

Thank you realy enjoyed its history 👍 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

My brother was the last projectionist of the Cannon cinema

Saw my very first film there it was summer holiday cliff Richards there were queues an queues to get in we were put at the very top and yes it was very very steep brought back lots of good memories I'm 72 Thanks ❤

Spent many a week nights watching worksop. I remember Emlyn Hughes giving me his autograph. I think he was the manager of Rotherham but cannot rem, but it's great to watch

Should never have gone to Sandy lane ground.

Being a Bradford fan i miss the travels to Wheldon Road, back from the days as a Northern fan. Can still remember the old backdrop of now gone Hickson plant. I'll be honest the ground has always been a dump, a bit like our own, shame the new stadium never got off the ground. Look forward to seeing it when its had all the work done.

Enjoyed the video - thank you - I grew up in Cas, my Dad played for Cas !958-64, and I loved going 'down t'lane' as a kid, especially 1969-70 when they won the Challenge Cup twice !! Very happy memories of that ground - fantastic atmosphere !
