6: 09 Thats Terry Brady (Epping Walk, Hulme) in the middle sitting on the grassy wasteland between Princess Road/Quiney Crescent during the Moss Side Riots 1981 almost 40 years ago. Sadly Terry is no longer with us but the grassy wasteland between Princess Road/Quiney Crescent is in 2020 and with very little change. I think the site of the Battle of Hastings is less well preserved as its been a working farm since 1066. Manchester City Council has maintained this grassy wasteland by cutting the grass between Princess Road/Quiney Crescent for over 40 years at what cost to the community and its reputation as an area that has lacked investment? Its like they're waiting for Charles Ingall to stake a claim and build a Little House on the Prairie there. Unfortunately I can't imagine what it will look like in another 40 years time but if you're around Moss Side in 2060 go over to that area between Princess Road/Quiney Crescent, I knew it was prime real estate in 1981 it should have been redeveloped after the Riots as promised so tell us - what does it look like now?

[@redordead4491]

I think they knocked me Dad's house down on Grantham St 😏

[@markmcdonald8646]

And ours on Palmes St next to it.

[@Isochest]

Those compulsory purchase terms were disgusting. They replaced the Victorian houses with rabbit warrens that encouraged crime

[@gloverdragon6854]

did they really only give a pound as the buying price? even after those people saved up god knows how much to buy those homes?

[@Woolliscroft1]

And wicked robbery at a pound a house.

Moss Side and Hulme are not South Manchester.

What are you on about you.. they are South Manchester

[@markmcdonald8646]

@@exerciseisantidote9337 Sigh. Central Manchester. You think South Manchester starts as soon as you cross Mancunian Way?

I rewired the Reno in the late 70s nearly got knifed on the first day. Lived to tell the tale. A white face i a black club not what people usually expected unless it was the police. Great times though.

[@hollakeef]

Saw lots of white guys working down there we used to call them the C.I.D. or SPG riot police, mostly they came to confiscate alcohol for their own consumption. A couple of crates of Special Brew a lung full of weed smoke and they were gone, literally. Anyway thanks for your service those lights ran from the street lights on a single extension lead to multiple 4way plug sockets, the only thing that wasn't running off that power source was the sweat running down the walls. Tell us did you pay to get in to do the work? Was you threatened with your own work knife? Did you ever go back for a night out? If you answered yes to one or more you definitely got the full white guy Reno experience. Great times indeed for all types of people with your attitude Stuart it really was.
