lower broughton in salford ...driving down in 1990 .... !!!!!!!!

lower broughton in the 1990s .....!!!!!

[@alanstarkie2001]

Thanks. The music choice was brilliant. Very emotive. I went to Bonny's and always remember Latham's Pets Corner. Used to buy fishing tackle there. Run by a bearded pleasant bloke I recall. One day I spotted David Hamilton going into Abe Sacks, the tailor, on the opposite end to Pets Corner. After telling the kids in the playground, we were all soon outside the shop shouting "We want diddy David" . You have to be of an age to know what I'm going on about...

Top video, if only it was the same now, what has time done to our city. There is no rubbish, no pot hols, everything just looks so much better. Really good video, it's shows the young ones what it use to be like and reminds the rest of us of better times.

[@Tallerixoo]

These were times we were accustom to and grew to adore. I grew up here and it set my path for understanding just how difficult times can be, and allowed me to appreciate the smallest amounts of happiness I experienced. And for that I will always cherish this place and hold it in my heart til death do us part lmao.

Salford Police Headquarters on The Crescent - Gone. Salford Royal Hospital - Gone. What a crying shame.

[@jeanallcock1068]

Brought tears to my eyes seeing how Lower Broughton has changed and not for the good

[@alanmccaffrey8950]

Yep

[@notreyf]

The Crescent and Chapel Street before they were wrecked by Salford council. And how many pubs have we lost? Great historical document. Thanks for posting.

[@stuartwilcock8113]

Wish I could go back to 1990

[@geoffedwards-tb4kp]

Yep Salford and Manchester were more slummy in them days but at least salfordians and Mancunians lived there!

[@gm5408]

So they made it slummy?

[@kellycarney2281]

The good old days love lower Broughton

[@EddiePunched]

Been in every one of them pubs that you went past, but back in the 70's and 80s, some 90s and noughties too.

[@karenking813]

My sister ran the brewery tavern on adelphi Street back in the ninties.

[@podcastocatflappo]

One of those pubs, Poets Corner, had filming done outside it for 'Filthy Rich & Catflap' (1987) where, ironically enough, Eddie had just been punched :)

[@gkmmlc]

Salford council won't be satisfied until every building built before the 1960's in the city, has been demolished. They must be itching to pull down the crescent and replace it with a nice piece of wasteland. I keep expecting to drive past one day and find it gone.

[@icanspotnything5brand751]

One day that will happen...oh...you forgot to mention a big carpark to make money from parking.

[@ProjectSheepFilms]

maybe because the old buildings look like shit.

[@antonydix7994]

Shame that we now look back as older people and reflect on what at the time were great times places and people and now people have moved died and forget but I never will to me I was great and a great place

[@bobbymac1319]

Anyone remember going in potters night club, brings tears to my eyes the grear nights i had in those days

[@onemansrubbishisanotherman5656]

[@shaunuk1889]

Bobbymac I do remember potters. The roller skating ,the snooker hall the taxi rank the best of all the pool hall down the steps. Also before the MCdonalds the pictures on the corner, watched king Kong in there.

[@Danny.Thompson]

[@janiceholden9199]

Thank you for this....brought tears and smiles. The Crescent....my university my college my home and life in Salford back in the day. Wilde of Wales for me now but I have a little piece of my heart there....

[@onemansrubbishisanotherman5656]

i do have a little more to this video where did you live

[@janiceholden9199]

@@onemansrubbishisanotherman5656 I lived in various places throughout my life. Born just off Lissadel Street Whit Lane area in Shuttleworth Street now demolished. Went to primary school on Whit Lane St George's but often simply called The Clock School. Then went to Broughton High just off Moor Lane up by Cussons soap works demolished now. Moved with family to just off Total Drive ...later in adult life lived Total Road, then Moor Lane, then East Lancs Rd Swinton and just off Claremont Road. Also lived for short time in the bungalow directly opposite the gates of Agecroft Cemetery. Live in Wales now . Salfird is not what it was. But most of the people still are friendly and genuine.

[@GARdotETH]

Mocha Parade, always used to get my dinner at the chippy :) Last time I went past a few years back it was all boarded up I think ready for demolition :(

[@nickmarshall6222]

I used to go in the Bridge with my nana, next to the prince of wales

[@daveglynn748]

They’ve turned my Salford into a featureless waste devoid of character. The council planners should be made to answer for the murder of a city.

[@mistofoles]

Along the Crescent, then left onto Adelphi street and Silk Street.

[@brianmorecombe2726]

erie music.Nowhere much to go round SAlford nowadays.I think Salford Council are hoping SAlford becomes like Manchester city centre.Doing away with Snooker halls pubs and Bingo halls.They want new apartment blocks and people with money moving in.

[@hymermobiler]

Did my apprenticeship at Sir James Farmer Norton on Adelphi Street my Dad worked there too and Grandad before my time there.

[@lord-yv1mx]

silk st my god top

[@Boreboreman]

2 lanes down to 1 on the crescent. What complete idiots salford council are.

[@JFHKipper]

[@lemonie3332]

Hi. Would like to talk to you about potentially using some of your Lower Broughton footage in a TV series. How can I contact you?

[@geoffedwards-tb4kp]

Lot less congestion in them days.

[@bobstermaher]

Shaun Ryders old stomping ground

[@kellycarney2281]

Love the video trish

[@zed351]

You want to fix the mount on that dashcam, it's all over the place.

[@Tallerixoo]

Are you having a laugh mate

[@ashcain6311]

Maybe St Patrick moored his boat here, and walked the Eccles old road so they say

[@forcemajeure72]

at 7:38 - does anyone know what the address would be for the set of flats in the long white building on the right. I know its x lower Broughton Road but I just can't remember the house numbers or if it had an additional name. I used to live there and need the address. Just can't remember it.

[@adrianpurdy2629]

264 Lower broughton road M7 2LA
