Clifton, Pendlebury & Swinton

[@RK-rf8rc]

Excellent video. Grew up in Clifton (Falcon Crescent) from 1984-2006. Haven't lived there since. Would love to go back to the time these photos were taken. Looks so much more serene and peaceful. edit: my house is in the photo at 3:02 (obviously before I existed)

[@wayneberry30]

I lived there till about 95. Me and my brother flying around on our 3 wheel bikes (we are both disabled)

[@johnhankinson1929]

i remember the old picture house ( then the bingo hall ) mysteriously burning down in about 1992 along with the rugby ground , i lived in Dumbell st from '88 to 2019 and i remember the Beehive pub on Queensway before it became Holyrood kids nursery

Fantatsic old photos, and great original music too.

[@pedrobarratt6444]

Brought back some lovely memories. Especially the phone box over the way from Barratt's shop. I spent many mornings makeing a call from there. Happy days :)

[@notreyf]

Norco pickle factory, bloody hell. I had a market stall over the road, when the Norco lot used to come outside for a cig, they smelled of vinegar. Happy days.

Do you know Eric hall or any members of the Knowles family Knowles

[@alanstarkie2001]

I used to go to a pub at the back of Station Road somewhere, quite near the Swinton end in the 70's and used to have regular and great lock-ins!

[@hannecatton2179]

My husband tells me of a wonderful ice cream maker from PENDLEBURY, Joe Davis ? Long gone now of course.

[@stevehampson6074]

I'm a Swinton lad myself although left when I was 21 back in 1976. I've heard Stellardrone before, makes the photos kind of eerie.... cheers.

[@follyfour506]

Mr Lunns shop at 3:15 . Used to go in woth a note from my mum for groceries. Minnie a lady off our street Falcon Crescent used to work in there.

[@terryknowles9086]

interesting photos, I remember a lot more people living there?

[@Biffo1262]

Pristine council estates were a credit to the occupiers. It's just a shame not all have that same pride any more.

[@WickerMan73]

yes of course, the pics were gathered from Internet and in the public domain, so yes that is OK and thanks for the kind comment.

[@zukzryft5218]

3:13 - 3:18 I live there right now

[@sergeantsherm7794]

Top shop

[@summeronmars9663]

Now they have a closed the lancastrian hall what a waste of a huge space which could be put to good use and all because the council let it fall into disrepair a good sandblasting as well was all it needed tragic

[@WickerMan73]

Yeh even though i always found the lancy hall an ugly building, it was our library and a good one too. I wonder if its going to be demolished and sold to some tesco direct...

[@totherarf]

To me the best bit of the Lanky Hall was the floor on the top floor. It was motorized so you could raise it from flat to sloping to allow tiered seating for shows! Yes it s a crying shame how Swinton Town hall ran up a multi million Pound deficit back then ..... There was talk of a big Doctors opening up there, but allas not even that!

[@follyfour506]

We had our wedding reception in there in 1995 . It was; n great condition then but like you say they've left it to rot.

[@scythehydra8584]

Hi, these photos are amazing! Anybody know what year were they taken?? I grew up on Falcon Cresent... there's a pic at 3.03 mins that shows kids playing cricket outside 108 Falcon cres...I used to play cricket out 108 Faclon cres ??

[@WickerMan73]

Very late 59 to mid 70s i think the photos were taken. Obtained through internet n library etc, glad u liked it, yes the photo was called kids playing cricket on falcon crescent

[@scythehydra8584]

@@WickerMan73 Hi thanks for getting back to me! I lived at 109 Falcon from 1980 onwards, it was a great place to grow up. Thanks for posting these they have brought back many good memories for me =)

[@MrSAROCO]

my cousin Carol Bantock lived at 110 falcon crescent

[@gedb3946]

my auntie and uncle and cousins lived on falcon Harold and Betty Chapman

[@RK-rf8rc]

I think it looks like my old house they are playing outside of (124, second from the left). I would have said I'm 99.9% sure it is. I might be wrong but I'm sure it is. The layout is the same anyway.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

Go back still further and you'll find trams :D

[@aaadirect100]

My gran used to live in coronation st could smell chicken all day

[@andretorok2078]

Sorry, some good photos. But mainly none with any identify whatsoever... How can we expect to recognise these photos?

[@RK-rf8rc]

'How can we expect to recognise these photos?' - with your eyes and memory?

[@nursejackie8872]

If you really know Swinton you will recognise almost all the places!

[@geoffedwards-tb4kp]

Wow not many cars back then.

[@Yorkpudding]
