i have changed music

[@erinscally6182]

What was it before? I'm intrigued

[@skylined5534]

@@erinscally6182 Dunno but thus sounds suitably 70s and I like it :)

[@EM-wd2vg]

You should send this to Stoke on Trent council, the place today is an absolute disgrace. Thanks for posting, grew up in the 70’s and loved every minute of it, especially Hanley.

[@skylined5534]

Born late 70s and grew up in the 80s in Stoke-on-Trent. Going to Hanley a Christmas was a treat. Now it feels like being on the set of 'The Running Man'.

[@jacobmassey3897]

Hanley is miles better now than it was 10 years ago. The old bus station was a dilapidated dump for decades and while modern day Hanley is far from perfect it is still a vast improvement on what it was like in the 90s and 2000s.

[@edmundsveikutis1698]

The people of the pottery’s must like it , they keep voting for the British establishment.

[@KILLER.KNIGHT]

@@jacobmassey3897The only thing that’s worse is the lack of shops now than in the 2010s and especially the 2000s.

[@KILLER.KNIGHT]

@@jacobmassey3897I think many have forgotten about the ambitious plans for Stoke-on-Trent ten years ago.

[@glennfielding4099]

What a great montage of photos from a wonderful era. No dustheads, people on the streets & vibrant. It is unrecognizable today.

[@paulryder1204]

Have you noticed there are no beggers or people asleep in shop doorways or junkies walking around like zombies. How times have changed.

[@gladiator22666]

Great photos of when Hanley was a nice place to visit , now you only go to get a fix of monkey dust !

[@jeanetterobertson6744]

Every Saturday in early 70s I spent hours in the record shops, tartts 2nd hand shop, Rosina Ward in Hope street , loads of great old records from here. Just memories now

[@Movie-Locationscom]

You might have bought my old records from Rosina Ward! I sold a load there when I was broke.

[@stevietrucker4631]

It's certainly changed a lot and not for the better. Good old days 😊

[@PurityVendetta]

Great video, such a shame about what's actually happened to the place since. Makes me sad to say it but I'll never return, but I'll keep the memories.

[@deeceecorfield8103]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Happy memories!!

[@michael-lt2lf]

Fantastic stuff! Happy Days. Thank you so much for all your hard work

[@daveevans9481]

Thanks Ste. Best days of my life i shall never forget.

[@Movie-Locationscom]

Wonderful to see the old places that have gone - especially Sherwin's music store on the corner by the old market (where the Potteries Centre now stands). It had a great, and very busy, record shop in the basement, where I bought all my singles in the 1960s.

[@Jane-rc2rk]

Oh this is how I remember Hanley! I used to work in Boots from 1980…loved that job!

[@michaelstewart9188]

Black Horse and the Star were regular haunts in late 70s early to mid 80s when you could park bikes outside, Stars and Bars custom shop for add on bits and pieces for the Norton, Bassets for waterproofs, gloves and boots - saw numerous bands at the Victoria Hall- Sabbath, Budgie, UFO, Lizzy, Priest, Hawkwind, Motorhead ( met Lemmy, Phil and Eddie in chippy), vinyl collecting and swaps at Lotus and Chrissies records and 'work training' at Clough Street workshops (Training Opportunities Scheme) in the early 80s ... happy memories

[@wetleyrocks3092]

Brilliant photographs here, well done, great work

[@user-gl4oh5dw3t]

It makes you cry your eyes out!! Life in general is utterly shite compared to what seems bliss in them days. No rose tinted either stoke is an utter disgrace & im from the rotting town of longton so i know wot im goin on about. They say were evolving as a species????

[@kevinwilson598]

Remembering all the record shops , spent all day up hanley in the seventies going from one record shop to the next and Chrisies secondhand records in the market, a burger in the wimpy and top rank on a Saturday morning

[@geoffreycaddy4318]

My dad was the crane operator at Goodwin's

[@andrewgilbride7546]

Thanks for making me feel ancient

[@sputumtube]

Lol.... same here!

[@petetherealtreatdurose7733]

Same here, I’ve had a few pints in the Fountain.

[@sclitchmusic]

Woah this is so cool!

[@johncooper5772]

Vibrant city centre and people look happy

[@shamibull8972]

Everything looked good and prosperous by looking at this old footage but currently it is absolutely terrible if you visit the places shown in this video

[@YelpBullhorn]

Up Hanley, duck.

[@kerrypalmer9818]

I was born in stoke in the seventies. Moved to Perth Australia in 1980. My grandparents John and Joyce Carson ran the old pub three tuns corner of edensor and greendock st. Burnt down now so sad

[@thomasdale6217]

I went to school there, Edensor High. Left in 98. The Three Tuns was open up until 95ish if I'm not mistaken.

[@KILLER.KNIGHT]

1:34 That looks better today. Looks like Longton Road in Stone in this photo.

[@roddersfiftynine]

excellent !

[@Stecluz]

Thanks

[@carolinejones6241]

Splendid set of photographs, thank you! But what's with the annoying music - that's never 70s, is it?

[@VintageLifeCars]

Thank goodness for the mute button!

[@michael-lt2lf]

I have to say I liked it, it gave an upbeat feel to the presentation - but then, I'm only going to be 75 this year....

[@thegaffer1558]

Yes it was a one hit wonder in 1978

[@ziofender6699]

Great video friend 💯

[@Stecluz]

Ste this is awesome, Hanley was brilliant in the 70s..i am looking for a view/pic of the greyhound at the top of bucknall new road..any thoughts ?

[@john111257]

i loved baileys

[@jimgriffiths9194]

How nice and tidy it looks, doesnt look like that now, shit hole, the people look different as well…are the two things connected ?

[@craigpimlott204]

Looks like a completely different town somewhere else ,not like the S,hole it is now ..stoke council need some hefty Gaol time for what they’ve let happen and still letting happen to stoke on Trent..😢😢

[@MrGuy999guy]

Could "The council" have prevented the loss of 50 000 jobs in the city? NCB, Michelin, The Potts, Creda, Steel works etc? The City is deindustrialised. Hence it's demise.

[@john111257]

my dad worked at this co-op

[@kuenstokeot7150]

weather, infrastructure and ad hoc mosques.

[@josephberrie9550]

keep dreaming

[@MrGuy999guy]

It's not dreaming it's fact. I and many other people witnessed to deindustrialisation of The City

[@dallassukerkin6878]

@@MrGuy999guy Absolutely true. Once the industry died then so did the city and, slowly, the soul of the people too. I used to live down London Road in the 80's and it was fine - a nice mix of housing, small business and pubs with a leavening of students to keep it more lively. I used to be a regular in the Stoke Inn, regular enough to get the odd free pint when I was broke. Went back down there about ten years ago and got the shock of my life at the state of the place - you could see in the people walking about that all the hope was gone. Popped into the Stoke Inn for a drink and the place was mostly gutted, painted all black and with what seemed to be a little stage for 'exotic dancers' - drank up fast and got the hell out.
