Lovely capture of a good past

I remember the bandstand outside the Co-op. We all used to sit around it. All us punks in the early 80s. Happy times, happy memories.

I worked for a time at Marks and Spencer, which was built over the River Mersey.That would have been circa 1960 -62.I remember the food hall being open and the management being very excited because they took over £1,000 .

Remember riding around downtown, eyeing up the girls, down mersey way, through the center by the bull ring, up Princess Street and repeat, and repeat. Happy days 1960s

I used to work in Jackson the tailor, 1970/71 ish. I really enjoyed it, all the staff were fantastic. Mr Fox was the manager.

Really good film that , very well edited and shot . All good !

I've got 90,000 pounds in my pyjamas I've got 40,000 French francs in my fridge I've got lots and lots of lira Now the Deutsche Mark's getting dearer And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge There is nothing quite as wonderful as money There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash Some people say it's folly But I rather have the lolly With money, you can make a smash There is nothing quite as wonderful as money (money, money, money, money) There is nothing like a newly minted pound (money, money, money, money) Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker It's accountancy that makes the world go 'round (round, round, round) You can keep your Marxist ways For it's only just a phase 'Cause money, money, money makes the world go round

I used to take the SelNec bus for tuppence down Didsbury Road just to play at the precinct.

Hello - Love the video, would I be able to use this footage elsewhere? And who do I cite?

I moved up from Dunstable in 1978 and was very impressed with Stockport and its shopping center, since then i have moved closer to Chester and Stockport seems to have gone down since those glory days. But then its happening all over the UK.

WOW, there really was a money programme 💰💰💰💰💰🤑!!

I was born in Stockport in 1962. I moved South in 1989 for work, and then to France in 2019 for retirement. Stockport will always be home though and, on my very rare visits back, I always feel like a weight has been lifted. I see that, after half a century, the Market and the Underbanks may be finally getting the attention they deserve. If they were in a Hampshire or Surrey town they'd be full of the best restaurants and high-end shops. They'd be a destination.

C&A and BHS in Stockport was where my parents would drag me before the end of every school summer holiday in the late 70's/80's to get me new clothes for going back to school. As a treat after we were done they'd let me spend some money in Toy & Hobby (usually on Star Wars toys)

It needs demolishing and the river being opened up again as the majority of the shops are unoccupied. Underbank and the market should be redeveloped.

This was brilliant to watch! Thank you..and am I the only one thats looking at all the people back then trying to spot a relative or friend? 🤣..Kept looking for my mum pushing me around in my 70s silver cross pram ha ha

Loved it. It didn't imbue me with a sense of fiscal responsibility however.

I can`t think of the Road where a heavy pull and push haulage company was situated, was it Wynns ? i know there was a huge brick chimney along there, anyone ?

This is an excellent view of the shopping centre, both before its construction and in the years immediately following. Some excellent archive photos and footage. I remember it being built. My dad showed me a glimpse of the river near Mersey Square during construction. Many thanks.

wank. Just wank.

All my youth spent in Stockport Mersey way it’s such a shame that it’s now scruffy, boarded up and empty. A vibrant community which like many other town centres has become TO LET.

Awh, I'm from Stockport, but I suppose I only caught the very tail end of this glory period, only being born in 1990... I think I do remember the C&A though, was there a Mcdonalds there on the walkway above? And a Clarks shoeshop? We didn't really go into the town that much after about 1998, just to Asda and that (I used to still sneak off to the underbank though, there was a couple of good computer games stores there!). Moved away to Ireland in 2004. From what people tell me, I'm not missing much these days, but I'm really happy I grew up there, I had such a great childhood in Bredbury!

I bought my very first record in Stockport " Neil and Hardy's" George Harrison's " my sweet lord " Jan -1971 ,anyone else remember that shop ??

Ooh, funky.

I’m from Chorlton I remember go to Silvios restaurant after visiting jobcentre in 1977 to 1980.

The Silver Spoon cafe? Would meet my mum there after school in the 70s. Great place to just chill out & do some people watching.

Who remembers the tram sheds

Its a shame to see it now , so lifeless!when i was a kid.it was bustling place of endless shops. Does anyone remember the food factory near C&A ? I use to get an ice cream from.there as a kid . Yeh its a ghost town now . The high street has gone 😔.

This is not the worst cover of ma baker..I actually like it.. you have a good vocal pitch.. whereas boney m sing this version in a contralto vocal range..this version is better in a higher vocal pitch..

Wow how I miss home, lookin at this, n fond memories flood back, Up the Stockport crew, n the red lion, xx

The sound of banjos is deafening

whattt, it used to be so pretty 😢

I've recently moved from down South and I think Stockport's such an interesting place. Only found out about the air crash the other day

When was the clock tower destroyed?

.. Sorry guys, this is the 1st best cover version of *bony M's Ma baker..

... This is the 1st best cover version of this song.. And the 3rd is from Norkater.

No like😐

my friend is in this video but its just a short clip, who do i contact to see if i can get a copy from before it was clipped, if possible?

Wish I had bought some Microsoft or Apple shares back in 1978....just imagine how much they would be worth today 🤔

Jesus it looks so different then too bad I wasn’t born then to experience it. It’s gone crap now no escalators no nothing. The sad thing for me is that old model shop to the side of it on the hill is closed now. It’s bloody a shame

thank goodness for the inernet, means I don't have to visit that hell hole.

Good evening. Tonight on The Money Programme, we're going to look at money. Lots of it. On film, and in the studio. Some of it in nice piles, others in lovely clanky bits of loose change. Some of it neatly counted into fat little hundreds, delicate fivers stuffed into bulging wallets, nice crisp clean checks, pert pieces of copper coinage thrust deep into trouser pockets, romantic foreign money rolling against the thigh with rough familiarity, beautiful wayward curlicued banknotes, filigreed copper plating cheek by jowl with tumbly rubbing gently against the terse leather of beautifully balanced bank books!!

The man singing is Stein Ingebrigtsen. He had a big hit with Sylvias Mother.

Money Programme before Val and Brian.

Why?

Merseyway is a concrete attrocity

Better than Milli Vanilli crap

Didn't know they went away from the Jimmy Smith/Lalo Schifrin version in the late 70s. Couldn't have lasted long as I distinctly remember the JS/LS version used in the early 80s.

Aseeeeek.... braY Cihueeee

That laughter reminds of a old woman i use to be so scared of when i was a kid.
