Looking back in time. Radcliffe Then and now

[@lisawright63]

Just look at the old grand buildings, fabulous

[@ellisonsimon]

The bypass road was one of the final nails in the coffin for the town centre

[@jadeblee33]

Radcliffe hasn’t changed for the better 😞

[@msmagpie5620]

I really enjoyed that,brings back alot of memories,of when l was a little girl.there was alot of poverty in the old days,we had plenty of mills and employment.only the mill owners made their millions,they couldn,t have cared a toss for the people they employed.

Schooled,worked and lived there,left in 1970 ,go back occasionally wow what a dismal place 😖

[@debndavid]

Agree I live here it's so depressing 😮

[@techsalesandmore3649]

any chance of approx dates? I lived in Whitefield 1968-1986 so visited radcliffe a lot in those days. usually by train.

[@paultaylor7082]

Radcliife, along with Whitefield and Prestwich, are the forgotten boroughs of Bury, where the centre of Bury seems to be where most of the council's money is spent.

[@Kaltybean]

Was a great little town till bury took it over

[@seandobson499]

It's been all rapidly down-hill for the last 40 years.

[@debndavid]

Sadly radcliffe is the forgotten town thanks to bury

[@markrobinson1458]

A place where improvements go terribly wrong, why are town planners employed, they're given a budget of a fiver and they wonder why it's still looking 💩 bloody shame 😢
