Great video. I know that a lot of people's living conditions back then were horrible and the living conditions nowadays and Medicine technology is the best it's every been but I can't help thinking we've also lost so much. Community's wiped out and the living and work ethics completely gone. So sad. That's a brill song by the way

Lived in Livinia St, off Palmerston St, 1946 to 1959, when moved to Partington, great memories of Every St School, matinees at the Don and many happy hours in Ardwick Lads Club.

I lived in Gatley and I knew people in Ancoats, Ardwick Collyhurst Mosside. When Manchester Council moved people to new accommodation, instead of moving folk to the same area they were moved here, there and everywhere. Why? They broke up communities people who knew one another. Girls at my school said they were scared and unhappy. Was so sad.

Yea Manchester has changed a lot, moved the people out years ago to out of town estates, it’s all posh apartments , the social history is so amazing, not sure if this ‘gentrification’ is a good thing. There’s no soul now. Your presentation is excellent. Eccles

My Mum worked at English Steel, we had to move from Miles Platting around 77/78 when they demolished all the terraced houses from Bradford Road to Sandal Street, moved up to the newly built ( not even finished when we got there ) Openshaw Village, my Mum always said our kitchen was where her office was.

I was born in Crumpsall hospital in 1955 and we lived in Flower Street Ancoats, no electricity until 1957, and my Aunt Kath worked as French Polisher at Strauss’s. We always pronounced it Strosses, not sure that was right?
