[@stevens5541]

Life was so much better then....and mumps roundabout was so much easier to navigate my way home than it is now

[@SarahsUKGraveyard]

Absolutely fantastic video it’s amazing to see the change from then to now such as the folk walking the streets and nice to see butterflies as it was

Mumps Bridge is long gone............

I went to school on them GM buses brings back memories

[@user-tf9oc7qs7b]

Love it.

[@neiljerzynek5001]

great vid! I wish it was more of the town centre and longer!

[@Sanderly1820]

Hard to imagine it's nearly 30s yrs ago

[@nforne]

That was great, especially the unexpected trip to Austerlands then Wood Brook.

[@MUMCPromotions]

When they drove up Huddersfield Road and took the sharp right turn. That's Heywood Lane, where my uncle lives now. Cannot believe how much oldham has changed, and definitely not for the better

[@ErrolHeywood]

and opposite is the shortcut to Ripponden Road iirc. Used to come down that in Winter on my motorcycle - clenched bum time!

[@t4t213]

Nice video mate, brings back memories!

[@AJ-xv7oh]

Great footage.

[@scottptolomey3498]

This looks earlier than 1994 the derelict Odeon Cinema is still visible on Union Street

[@richardhammer187]

I thought the same, also seems to start on a part of George Street you haven't been able to drive down since the 80's... Not enough resolution to make out the reg plates of some of the newer cars (at the time) sadly!

[@Spike0000]

@Scott Ptolomey: It might be cos a lot of people back in the 90's had 80's cars still blending in on the rd..and there wasn't a lot of redevelopment round Oldham til around 2012/15..it retained a lot of its character..Sadly its like another world now....

[@stevens5541]

Mumps roundabout was so much easier to navigate around.....oldham is a dump now

[@nforne]

Butterflies was there in 89. It was Froggies before that but I'm not sure when it changed.

[@scottptolomey3498]

@@nforne Before Froggies it was Romeo & Juliet’s and Baileys before that it’s soon due to be demolished now

[@CFG_Adam]

Right at the end of the video is near my primary school

[@nforne]

Knowsley Road?

[@spiritwolf1953]

love it

[@TheCrimePortal]

Hey, this footage is great. Would you mind if I used some in a project if I credit you?

[@talalansardeen2470]

nice🙂

[@martinhill3056]

Anyone remember a chippy next to the shepards boy at waterhead ?

[@Spike0000]

Classic....before they chopped & changed it and ruined the face of Oldham forever by tarting it up and making it even more difficult to park....I was at college when this was filmed!!!!:)....

[@markorollo.]

Just Sum Guy if it is 94 I was at college too!!. Started in 92, best time I think I've ever had, don't like the look of it now with those dull grey buildings, whoever designed those has no imagination.

[@WillScarlet1991]

Just Sum Guy+ Same shite happened in Bradford. Destroyed an entire city centre.

[@Spike0000]

@@markorollo. I know buddy..those modern steel/glass buildings designed by modern-day brain deads..its took the heart out of Oldham....

[@pH1Ls1]

It looks exactly the same today.

u should ashamed of ur self

[@johnprice5784]

@@enochianmagic You have to live in Oldham to understand R.J C. I have lived here since 1965 and it isn't racist to say it has changed dramatically with the influx of Indians, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Polish, Romanian and others, you are just as likely to hear foreign languages spoken as much as English and in some areas they are spoken more. It is a fact that the face of the North West has been radically altered and not always for the better.
