I thought in the 1960s, it was rows and rows of terraced houses. Considered unmaintainable damp 'slums' by the mid 1960s. So these were all demolished replaced by those Hulme Crescents in the early 1970s. The 1990s development are more in keeping with the original low density housing terraces, but more attractive and maintainable. Not sure what the answer is for mass housing.

I remember them being built, they used cranes on railroad tracks shaped like the crescent, I worked nearby as a young man on moss side ‘town centre redevelopment’ then I remember most of that being demolished. Nowadays I’m not sure what the answer is to fair, decent housing but it’s not 30 story tower blocks in media city charging over 1200 a month,, young families need support and help, there is enough money in this country to make sure everyone gets a fair deal

In spite of it all, the Crescents were of cultural and artistic significance in giving a haven to a wide range of creative types during the 70's and 80's. There was a lot going on in and around Hulme in tHoSe dAzE!!!

Amazing - the wording in this video is full of huge inaccuracies.

i will never forget the BULLRING were we got weed from

We watched this in A level geography today

We got lucky the first time the bulldozes came for us, they gave us Hornchurch Court, it was lovely. Then they stuck all the orange boxes and multi storey car parks round it. You know when they took the deck flats (pink flats) down, they took the asbestos out first, I remember the big blue parcels, then there was nothing left but the concrete shells. They were built and we didn't know it was asbestos they were using. Lovely days looking back, and I can still remember nearly all the neighbours from most of the block. It's a shame they destroyed Hulme for ever or "Oom" as the locals call it. From Hulme All Blessings Flow.

The original crescent shape was inspired by the Royal Crescents of Bath in Summerset built between 1767 and 1774 and unlike Hulme still stands to this day.

1960’s Old Hulmes slum buildings for new arrival immigrants from Jamaica and then regeneration New Hulmes buildings in 1990’s for new arrival immigrants from Africa. Funny old world.

My geography class enjoyed

Why would you use Oasis as a theme when Hulme was well gone before they existed?

Everyone round Hulme shits on their own streets fly tipping they got no morals ...

Remember it all well, I worked round there, socialised round there, it’s unbelievable how quick time has passed

Would not have happened without European grants. I grew up there.

what a propaganda piece... no mention or explanation of the role of the resistance to the initial City Challenge plan by the residents and tenantsof Hulme; or of bodies such as the tenant led, Hulme Tenant Participation Project, in why the 1990s regeneration was more succesful than that of the 1960s. Although, all this time on there are many who would argue about what is meant by success, particularly after much of the new build Hulme has ended up in the hands of private owners and landlords.

This is so useful of geography, but geography aside this is actually a really positive video hahaha :)

Used this in GCSE and now using this in A2 Geography- sick!

Them red benches at the end 4.22 lasted a few days before they were nicked and reinstalled in people's flats. Funny.
