[@leewalsh2428]

My mom and dad were both born in Manchester in the 1920's they moved to upstate New York in 1950 where me and my sister were born, my dad passed away in 2016 and he considered great Britain as home until he passed.

Nice to see all these old photos,stirs up a lot of memorys,makes you think the world today isnt a better place

[@petewitkowski5315]

Brought up in Collyhurst. Went to St Patrick's boys school.Loved every minute of it. If there was such a thing as a time machine and I was asked if I would like to go to the past or future, I would Deffo choose the past,the 60s.

[@eddkennedy6458]

at 1.26 i remember the brown cow pub on the corner of butler street where we lived in the 60s.

[@susanahardwickstarlight]

Love the history of Manchester,lots of memories, gets me a bit emotional thinking back but with a smile on my face.💖 xxx

[@susanrichardson1653]

Very nostalgic and a good range of pubs - well done!

[@grahampitchy8691]

Great memories. My Mum and Dad had the Pineapple Pub on Palmerston st Ancosts near Ardwick Lad's Club. Then they had the Ram Hotel Pub on Oldham Rd. Thanks for sharing these photo's.

[@janetnicholson5001]

Bless you. Thank you for sharing these wonderful historic photographs!

[@vaslav030547]

Thank you so much for posting. What wonderful memories this brings back. The days when a ten year old could walk safely around the city waiting for the all night bus (One an hour double fare) Lewis's and Woolworths in Piccadilly and Ryburns down Market Street. Wow! What sort of world do we have now?

[@anthonykeaveny8860]

And the Lovely 'Ladies' , with beautiful clothes, hair, make-up , (Unknown in those days) , who walked up and down Lewis s Arcade until the Street Offences Act spoiled it all for me and my friends (12 years old) on our way to The Disc in Lewis basement to listen to Pop Records ! Home to a freezing cold house with a little coal fire in the kitchen, and waiting for dark to try to get Luxembourg , ( Or sometimes WKBW ) on our ancient wireless.

[@anthonykeaveny8860]

PS I Forgot the Fabulous MAZEL RADIO on London Road where you could get Ex-US Forces radios and spare parts for our old Wireless.

[@Habu2]

What the heck was a 10 year old doing waiting for the all night bus ?

[@markwall6651]

Thanks for this, I lived in Samouth Rd flats and a lot of those photos bring back great memories

[@lisab3396]

To sum it all up in one word....."SAD" ... Beautiful history all gone.

[@fasthracing]

Not so sure the residents of places such as Angel Meadow would agree with you.

[@giggitygoo3945]

Yes breaks my heart to see it all gone proper sad

[@richardwills-woodward]

@@fasthracing They were the exception and not the rule, sad though Angel Meadow's history is.

[@unacottrell9145]

Thank you so much for putting this together. Brought back so many memories.

[@fac51nh]

Thank you

[@faltskog36abba]

I remember the half moon pub,the vault was so tiny if ten fellas were in there it would be packed.The room was on a slope and I remember mum and friends dancing to leo sayer[you make me feel like dancing]-us kids were outside eating crisps and drinking coke-a cola,then fishing in the canal at the back of the pub-very happy days..sadly the pub has gone.

[@scotchegg3419]

me and my sister would buy crisps off the old lady with white hair. Josey I think her name was. and Guy forking out side.

[@Habu2]

@@scotchegg3419 Ha ha....crisps the staple diet of us 70's kids.

[@paul7079]

Just been watching this video and was not only surprised but happy to see my grandfarther at the coop shop on valley street

[@dambuster6387]

The picture @3.36 is Piccaddily Gardens WW2 when the Goverment encouraged the general public to grow their own. The picture has been cropped from a much larger picture which I have seen.

[@jaynemcfadden3361]

The Manchester I remember x

[@patrickrooney5221]

Really enjoyed the video of my local area. Thanks for the memory'

[@pamelaford8840]

Brings back a lot of memories. Sad that so much has been lost.i now live in the USA,and I bet I would not recognize Manchester now.

[@peterwood3108]

Manchester has changed, even though i live in Bollington, through relationships i know Urmston, and Trafford park, but thats recently, even my village has changed, the community spirit has died. The pubs are still there, but id know no one in them. America, that too, i know North carolina, and California, which i didnt like. I expect it isnt the same either?

[@trainrover]

touchingly marvelous tribute of a fantastically tantalising slideshow, wow!!

[@bernardmcmahon5377]

Very good presentation

[@trondog8503]

What an amazing atmosphere Manchester must have had before those who knew better decided whole swaths of it had to be destroyed.

[@stulotus]

My folks ran the Phillip's Park Hotel in the mid-50's when I was a toddler - think it's in that general area.

[@iangavin4745]

GREAT TO SEE THE BIRD IN HAND 110 BEFORE IT WAS A PUB A LAD CALLED PETER LIVED THEIR WE PLAYED ON HIS TRAIN SET FOR HOURS IN THE FRONT ROOM WHICH BECAME THE VAULT SO A VERY SPECIAL BUILDING FOR ME I PLAYED THEIR AND GOT PISSED UP THEIR OK TC GAV XXX

[@jayaybe1]

[@Reminiscelightentertainment]

Excellent it's how I remember Manchester, thank you,can anyone tell me the name of the music?

[@TheLucreziia]

The music track is Tuscon Tease by John Deley and the 41 players.😎❤

[@sekeenakydd6262]

My nans first Husband Robert William Greenhalgh was born in Ancoats Manchester 1916. His older brother Walter greenhalgh born 1914 was a young communist with the Miles plattin branch and fought in the Spanish civil war.

[@juliepownall2000]

Lots of character lots of old pubs the good old days

[@gcfcos]

Great film

[@carolinebedford9836]

Interesting looking at the pictures, however everything is so dark & dull.

[@mohammadayub2760]

I love Manchester ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@stevenjoy3170]

I lived with my Gran in Miles Platting Maisonette Flat as in the pics , in late 70s early 80s remember the pubs ,been in a few of them, Lancaster pub was across the road, went in the Old Pack Horse one of the oldest pubs in manchester before they knocked it down, it was a community then. shit hole now and foreign.

[@paulwild3676]

Some bits are better and some are worse. Piccadilly gardens was better then than now but some bits are better now.

[@benbow7]

Census information since 1991 shows that the White British proportion of Manchester's population has declined as follows; 1991 85% 2001 74% 2011 59% Given this rate of decline the British will by now be an ethnic minority in Manchester and it can no longer be considered a British city in any meaningful sense.

[@franceskronenwett3539]

Unfortunately not only in Manchester.

[@Habu2]

Bad news all round.

[@MillyToast]

British people are not all white. Don't be silly.

[@iangavin4745]

AT 3 10 BEST PUB IN MANCHESTER NOTTS CASTLE PLATTING BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE IN THEIR GENUINE FOLK NOT MANY KNOBS CHILLED TC BIG GAV XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[@Habu2]

Ancoats was my old mans drinking patch....Webster anyone ?

[@jackhibbs3719]

Does anyone know why a lot of the old world buildings have 1904 written on them? Lots of buildings from the art gallery at st peters square to the bank buildings in Piccadilly. The buildings definitely weren’t built in 1904 and no images from that time can show it

[@dambuster6387]

Interesting to see these old photos the good old days just childhood memories but I will always remember the smog from coal fires smokey chimney stacks from factories ect that killed hundreds of people. things are so much better now.

[@margaretnylandnyland4735]

Thank you very much.

What a shit tip Manchester now... P. S never knew the old Manchester but am nostalgia for it

[@michaelhowarth-w1e]

wow how much better was it back then, to the total mess it is now, would much rather be back in those times...great vid thanks..😊

Does anyone know what maisonettes are at 5:20?

[@fac51nh]

i think they're on Farnborough rd miles platting

[@Zoe-dr5ps]

@@fac51nh I thought it was Charnley walk maisonettes. My gran used to live there years ago. I can hardly remember though so you're probably right.

[@fac51nh]

@@Zoe-dr5ps they're all very similar. Think Charnley walk is now called Charnley close and the maisonettes have long since had the tops taken off and are just houses now.

[@Zoe-dr5ps]
