Many, many thanks Robert for all your painstaking work in formulating the wonderful Videos you have shared on KZbin to date - I have watched three of them so far and, was mesmerised by both the photos and the music - which accompanies the videos perfectly. I have enjoyed every moment of each video that I've viewed to date, and look forward to viewing another one soon - Many thanks once again - they are sheer joy to watch - Keep Safe and Happy Trails

fascinating photo record of how the town has changed so much, though some info or captions would be nice

we look back through rose tinted lenses,,, what a derelict mess our grandfathers and fathers (if your like me knocking 50) had to rebuild, all the derelict estates of terraces falling inn around ppl. brinksway, heaton norris, lower / middle hillgate, portwood and ofc the lancashire hill estate ( a few survive near the top of penny lane) ...10's of 1000's of factory terraces, and the factory's that went with them, that were neglected since the 1900's everything layered thick with soot and falling appart, they were 200+ years old back then.... i stand on the shoulders of GIANTS

I was a child when those areas were being cleared, hideous slums but the people were dignified, decent and courageous. Looking back, the best thing about Stockport was the fact that I could get a bus from Mersey Square and be in the Peak District in no time at all for just a few pence. I spent my weekends walking there when I was a teenager.
