New Moston Past & Present

[@PSHAWSTER]

Thanks for your comments, my late father would have been thrilled with all the positive comments I have received for his film.

[@davidm-1965tb]

Thank you for posting the film. I grew up in moston in the 60s. Great memories and a far better time!

[@WildViews9]

What a delight, glimpses of a gracious time gone by. Evoking so many memories, from my childhood around Manchester . . .

[@PSHAWSTER]

Duke of Burgundy, I'm glad you enjoyed the film, my late father who made it would've been very pleased with all the nice comments that it has received.

[@WildViews9]

Paul Shaw thank for quick response, excuse name change back to my real name . . .

Great film very informative about the area I was brought up in. I was at New Moston Primary during the 50's. I had a friend who had a sweet shop on Eastwood Road.

[@derekruchat7633]

first of all thanks for making this film of new moston now I know what was on the land where my house stands on eastwood road also what a sad story about the original owner of the community garage and the amazing story of the tin whistle makers family and what seperates new moston from failsworth

[@mikesonlineacademy]

Great video Paul. My family lived at Pitts Farm between 1977 -1981 when it was called Mack's Stores!

[@PSHAWSTER]

Glad you enjoyed it Mike though I can't take too much credit for it, my late father made the film with the help of the now disbanded New Moston Historical society. I told my mum about your comment, she has lived in New Moston all her life (she will be 90 this year). She says where you lived was Pitts farm before she was born and it was called Halliwell's farm when she was a child. I used to play on what we called "the back fields" behind the farm and I remember it becoming Mack's stores which I am guessing was around 1966, they still kept chicken's before it became a shop!

[@mikesonlineacademy]

@@PSHAWSTER Your father did a great job! I remember the "back fields" well! My mum told me the room over the shop was haunted as someone had committed suicide in there many years ago. Have you heard anything about this?

[@sanjayb1572]

Wonderful documentary. Although I never lived there, my maternal grandparents moved to, what is now 32 Parkfield Rd North, around 1950, when my mum was about 7, and her brother was about 4. My grandmother was still living their in 1999 when the film was made. Sadly, she passed on a few years later. Maybe someone here remembers my grandparents, Harry & Bessie Marsden. Or my mum and her brother, Bronwen and David Marsden. Britain really was Great. With such an interesting history and great people. It's such a shame that our 'elites' have done their best to erase and replace our Wonderful British culture.

I spent a lot of my childhood at the CWS sports ground. My Grandad was Fred Sharples and Nana Edna Sharples, he was the groundsman and Nana cleaned and washed the foorball shirts and also helped in the pavilion serving sandwiches and drinks to the people who used the facilities.

[@yarnednomady5535]

Absolutely remarkable! Would love to know about the maker of the documentary also

[@peterlombard2292]

A great video which is both informative and interesting in the same measure, and not just for people with links to the area. Well done to Bryan Shaw for putting it all together and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@PSHAWSTER]

Glad you found it interesting. My dad would have loved all the positive comments received for his film.

[@jimferry6539]

@@PSHAWSTERloved watching this, did he make anymore videos like this ?

[@PSHAWSTER]

@@jimferry6539 Hi Jim, glad you enjoyed it. There are two more videos that my dad made in my Videos, New Moston V.E. day 60th anniversary celebrations and Daisy Nook through the seasons.

[@paulwild3676]

New Moston is a different world to Moston. It is clean and looked after.

[@nimai4]

what a fabulous documentary👌

[@LarryRobinson55]

Thank you for your videos. I had a dear friend in Harpurhey and visited from San Francisco a few times. I drove there once and still have PTSD 🤣

[@69Phuket]

I went to St. Mary's Rd School.. I lived in front of the Ferranti works.. They had a white capped security guard with medals.. @72-3. One day i kept finding pennies in my pocket...I'd go buy some sweets at the post office and then find some more pennies.... Today i think i had a magic pocket...I went back 3-4 times.. !!! Magic when you're 5! I remember New Moston Railway Station for the first time and being disappointed that no steam train.. Diesel! Thank you for the video.. X

[@PSHAWSTER]

I'm glad you found it intetresting.

[@mikefeat]

Well done, brings back memories.

[@DeafStunts]

Hi, my grandfather had co op shop which he runs it on nuthurst road, near Broadway. But I could not find a picture of the shop. Would be great to see a picture if someone have one?

[@finbarpower2325]

is it now the one-stop?

[@michaelroebuck1340]

Ferranti was in Hollinwood ?? I worked there my first job. After many travels now in South Africa. There are still transformers in service here built at Ferranti Hollinwood.

[@blurthunder007]

Used to live next door but one to the chippy on Eastwood Road number 29,there was some cottages there that one of my friends lived in,seem to remember an elderly lady who also lived in one of them owning the cottages.

[@mandogloinn]

Was she called Mrs Fozzard? We lived at 33 when it was a general shop.

[@blurthunder007]

Possibly but that doesnt ring a bell with me, ""so you lived in the chippy ""prior to it becoming that ?? when did you leave.I only remember it as a chippy

[@blurthunder007]

Checked with my friend who lived in the cottages, yes it was Fozzard

[@elliott1996jsr]

blurthunder007 lived there for 17 years so far

[@mckinleyrudd3223]

I used to live on parkhurst avenue played on nuthurst park and went to school at New MOSTON primary

[@kingedwardiv8393]

I went new moston primary too, best school ever!

[@madfokkers]

Interesting film but we seemed to have circled the Mill estate without it getting a mention and was wondering what the name of the mill that stood on this site was?

[@spartanone6539]

madfokkers it was called Moston Mill.

[@geoffedwards-tb4kp]

@@PSHAWSTER No worries! Also, may I ask when this was filmed?

[@PSHAWSTER]

Hi, my late father made the film probably about 15 years ago. I put this on youtube after his death. He would have been thrilled with the amount of views /interest that it has received.
