Thank you for sharing this song here. Whenever I listen to it I get transported to 1989, London. The first time I heard it, I was riding one of the subway trains in London, my first days there. I was 20 and everything seemed so magical to me. That’s when a busker entered the train with his guitar in hand, a harmonica holder around his neck. He started playing and singing this song. I was totally hypnotized. That moment will be etched in my mind forever.

Shane made the connection between british and irish music because him and his band were super talented and different. Respect to all my fellow dirty old town dwellers and RIP Shane lad. Just enjoy listening to the song folks.. Love, respect and wishing you all a merry christmas from a dirty old town in central England.

Written about my hometown Salford in the UK where I was born and bred and still proudly live. I'm nearly 59 but know and remember everything sang about in this magical song. A beautiful Salford Anthem. Sadly the actual Gas works have gone but the big old original wall surrounding them are still there. As for the working Salford Docks they have long gone now. It's now known as Media City full of upmarket private developments restaurants and shopping. Bring back the old days and the old times. Salford is almost unrecognisable now from the times wrote about in the song. Ordsall the Docks everything gone. The train sang about in the song was the one that went through Ordsall straight to the Docks but long gone now. There was a rumour when we was kids that when it was abandoned the old railway tunnels used to contain a captured German Train full of dead Nazis and Gold lol. We called them the the death tunnels and used to dare each other to go as far as possible in them it was pitch black. Those were the days lol miss them so much 😞

@1woodnut The song was written by Ewan MacColl in 1949 as a musical interlude for his play "Landscape with Chimneys". Both the song and play are about life in industrial Salford, now part of Greater Manchester. MacColl was himself born in Salford but both of his parents were Scottish. He became the major figure in the Britsh folk revival. Apart from this song his two other best known songs are probably Shoals Of Herring and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

It's a fantastic song, and it's construction quite interesting and deliberate. Its form follows that of a bucolic folk song, where the lovers meet on a bank flowers, or under a tree, along with descriptions of the scenery. It considers how these scenes would be played out in a world where there is no bubbling brook or nightingales to sing.

This song always takes me back to the summer it first made it big in the US, which I think was around 1984 or so. I was 24, fresh out of the Navy, attending college and dating a prima-ballerina who worked nights as a bartender in Old Towne, Alexandria. On those deeply dark, sultry summer nights, as I waited for Tina outside the bar, I would lean against the building's wall and let its red bricks, still radiating heat from the hot summer's sun, warm my back. The lyric "I kissed my girl by the factory wall" is especially poignant, as we shared many a kiss by that same wall in Old Towne. I've moved far, far away from that blessed place, but on the rare occasions when I return to the haunts of yester-year, I always make it a point to visit Old Towne, always late, late at night so I may walk the dark, still streets deep in contemplation undisturbed by others. As I walk by the old wall, our wall, I reach out, touch the brickwork and ask myself "did I ever dare to imagine that one day, some 40 years further on, I would walk this very same sidewalk, stand in this very same place, touch the very same bricking where we once kissed and yearn for her?" If those bricks could speak, what would they say? Would they even recognize the once-slender, svelte former athlete? Would they greet me warmly or admonish me for letting the love of my life slip carelessly through my fingers?

I don't know why this song just cuts so deeply into my soul and into my memory but it does. There is just something about a cold crisp and very clear winters' morning when the river is a millpond and the sun is warming and there is the smell of steam trains in the air. And then you see and hear the loco crossing the bridge and its coming into this side of town where there is the gasworks and the powerhouse and the foundries and the spring makers and the blacksmiths and the iron and steel workers. Over all my years I'd dress up quite smartly on Friday nights and go to a folk bar down by the harbour and sing to this song, every single time the band would strike it up. I loved my 'Dirty Old Town'.

Always reminds me of the East Perth gasworks and powerhouse and the smell of coal and coke in the air on a cold sunny morning and the sound of a steam engine whistle in the distance. And down by the river at Claisebrook and under the bridge would sleep some of the district's residents and others in doss houses and in old pubs and run down houses. I had a night or two under the bridge myself at one stage. Some found sleeping in the cemetery appealing.. On the stone slabs warmed by the sun during the day. Yes it was a dirty old town but they cleaned it up and ruined it forever. And I did too, meet my first love very much in these surrounds.

Every year ever since i was little my uncle would travel to new mexico and load up his truck with fireworks for our annual 4th of july event. Everything was always so extravagant. At night when the fireworks show started, he would crank up his surround so loud outside and blare this song. It became a family tradition. Now all the nieces nephews and grandkids knowthis song and we sing it as a family every year during the grand finale. This will be our first year without our annual tradition. R.i.p. uncle. U took your songs and our family happiness with you when you left this world. Dirty ol town
