The pubs were a way back to the past for these men, to what was left of everything they had ever known and they travelled miles to get there, just to find somewhere they felt they belonged. Now they would be gone too. Quite a moving film really.

The biggest problem, as it strikes me, is that the midcentury style of planning was overly-focused on what the project looks like when viewed from the sky. For people in planes to think "that looks nice" as they go on their holiday. There was no real emphasis on what it was like down on the ground, with poor sightlines and an unfriendly scale.

@@tachikomakusanagi3744 oh, certainly - but that’s a problem with these projects no matter the architectural style. Easterhouse had plenty of low-rise and mid-rise buildings too after all. The problem there was lack of activities and, as you say, different communities shoved together with nowhere for their beefs to go. But in large places built to look impressive from the sky, they were imposing and difficult to navigate for the residents regardless of whether the people wanted to be there or not. (Bearing in mind people paid a lot to live in some overbearing brutalist structures like the Barbican.) Wider social planning vs architecture in particular, yk? (Though of course Le Courbosier fancied himself a social architect as well…)

@@tachikomakusanagi3744 My auntie moved to one of those in the '60s nearer to Wigan, and it's not that the entire community was split up, many from the same streets went to the same block. It's more that as people died off lots of people from far outside the old community arrived and got flats until there was a lot of anonymity. Whereas in the old streets people's grown up kids would sometimes get a house nearby and it carried on. As it happens I live near 7 street's worth of 'workers' houses. In a different country mind, and many of the people have the same surname and know one another. So it's not all gone.

When a pub closes few spare a thought to the local community. Friends lose contact, pub teams are lost and a way of life dies. Most people had a sense of loyalty and pride to their regular pub as can be seen here. As someone whos seen three old regular pubs close I can feel for these peoples loss.

Destroying whole communities , splitting up neighbours has led to the society we have today. Strangers living next to each other and having no connections. As a child I knew my neighbours they were my aunts, uncles, cousins. We looked out for the old people living on their own. I don't recall a break in or stealing from each other. The elegance of high risers didn't last long and soon local society began to breakdown old alliances broken for good.

There is a huge difference between pubs when I was young and pubs now. There were no TVs but there was darts, dominoes, bar billiards and cheaper beer. There was nuts and crisps on the bar on Sundays and landlords that would occasionally give you a beers on the house. Free sandwiches were handed round when there was a league darts and dominoes night and sometimes baked potatoes too. There was often a jukebox box that allowed you to choose your own choice of music. More often than not your mates would be in there too. You would have to push through the crowd at the bar and wave a ten bob note to show the bar staff you were waiting to be served. I don’t frequent pubs these days as paying 9 quid for a pint is taking the piss

Well, my 'local' is a fantastic place - no TV, often a few free morsels to peck at, a healthy mix of clientele, and a landlord who keeps a clean and tight ship. 9 kwid seems steep? - we pay no-where near that - but yes - it is expensive I guess - but I'll happily pay for the pleasure I get - I think it's pretty good value. All the best.

Similar happened to the area in Leeds where i used to leave. Cross Green up until the late 90s had around 12 or 13 pubs, now even with a bigger population and regeneration in the area there are no pubs at all. You have to go into leeds centre for a pint. It's really disappointing but I have moved out of inner city Leeds to garforth on the outskirts. Luckily I still have 2 local pubs within 5 minutes walking distance and 7 throughout the town.

To be fair to Wetherspoons, you can still meet your mates there and have a good time and the drinks are well priced, just like these old pubs, but I think that's it's the culture that's changed more than anything. In fact, culture of any kind has been pretty much dead for the past 20 years. Strange time's we're living in..

The accent here is Manchester/Salford, it's not the Lancashire accent of Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Bury and other towns in the area. Salford borders Manchester (the dividing line is the River Irwell). Manchester and Salford have always had a completely different accent to the surrounding areas and continue to do so, I'm from Newton Heath, North East Manchester and have lived in area nearly all of my lfe, I'd say the first landlord'a accent is typical of the area.

Terribly sad. They lost their way of life. I feel the same way to a certain extent; my generation grew up in the pub - we were teenagers and young adults in the late nineties and early 2000’s and everybody went to town as a soon as they could get in. You could go to one of your ‘locals’ straight after work and be guaranteed to see some people, play a bit of pool, etc. Now, I don’t even think young people go to the pub, never mind people my age.

You’ve got to love planners (🤔) Instead of improving what was there, they chose to evict everybody, raze the lot and build new, making sure that all community spirit was destroyed at the same time. It’s as deliberately destructive as the highland clearances or the pogroms in 1930s Europe. I presume the planners meant well but the outcome was cruel and brutal irrespective of their intentions.

Planners very seldom mean well. As long as they get paid, they don't really care. Most of them don't even live in the locality of their destruction, and have no local knowledge whatsoever. Where I live, a load of expensive flats were built next to a river, despite the fact that the river ran in a channel higher than the level of the first floor and garage levels. I expect you can see where this is going, can't you. A storm in the winter of 2013 meant that people woke up to find they couldn't leave their new homes, as the ground floor was under 6-7 feet of filthy water.

Because it needed to go. You’re used to all the houses you see being fundamentally fit for living in. That’s not because people have only built houses fit for living in, it’s because during the 20th century there were systematic campaigns to clear the slums. In some cases the tower blocks that replaced them had serious problems, it certainly turned out that community spirit was lost in the transition, but they gained things like plumbing and heating and insulation.

@@billybollockhead5628 You fundamentally don’t understand my point because these schemes were so successful. In the UK there are no houses as bad as those that were demolished, so your perception of what a house is has been set by that. Seriously, these houses had no plumbing in most cases, maybe a single tap if you were lucky. Certainly no bathroom. Electric lighting might have been retrofitted if you were lucky. No central heating just a coal fireplace. No insulation to speak of. You’ve never seen a house this bad because it would be completely illegal to build, completely illegal to rent, and you’d probably loose your kids if you tried to raise them in one. The singular advantage over an apartment (at least as a building, there were other social advantages) was the garden. But don’t think you could relax in it; that was for the outhouse and for hanging up washing.

As for why they all congregate back to the same place, for modern people who don't get it think of it like social media. Would you leave Facebook, X, TikTok, Snapchat to go to a brand new network and you only have one contact there? No, you wouldn't, you stay in the same social media site 'cos all your contacts and friends, your history, posts and pics are all there still shared. This is what caused my family to break up and go their separate ways. I come from 5 generations of those born in the East End of London, dockers and workers. They said the same thing and did the same things, smashed communities, broke up fmailies and scattered people in the new "utopia". My parents left London at the end of he 70s and we moved to the Midlands. I moved back to just outside North London and I work in the city but my parents and grandparents family and firends were just scattered and fragmented, our roots decimated and destroyed. I'm probably far more wealthy and have more opportunities that i would if I was still living in the East End and I guess the sacrifices had to be made, but it still stings several generations later.
