Omg I remember this! My dad and I stayed there for like 15 Mins watching all the other people and laughing at ourselves having had done this in the earlier part of the museum 🤣
What a lovely video of Stockport l used to love going shopping and enjoying the great atmosphere. Moved away some time ago but your video took me back when life was layed back. Thank you for sharing this video l for one appreciate it. 😊😊😊
Whitworth is by far the most important in that list in my view. He revolutionised how everything is built by providing a method of manufacture that enabled the construction of assembly lines and the use of subcontractors. That meant if a machine made in England broke down anywhere in the world, then a spare part could be sent which would fit straight away. Whitworth screw threads are still used to this day.
Simon Gregson (was Gregory but had to be changed for his equity card) aka Corries Steve McDonald and his on screen twin brother Nicholas Cochrane who was Andy McDonald in the soap, both went to kingsway high school and were actually picked through school auditions throughout the region. I was a very close friend of Simons.
The last few photos are of turncroft Lane, I live a few streets away and the carnival still goes down here. Great video mate, the mersey square ones really brought back some memories 👍🏻
Census information since 1991 shows that the White British proportion of Manchester's population has declined as follows; 1991 85% 2001 74% 2011 59% Given this rate of decline the British will by now be an ethnic minority in Manchester and it can no longer be considered a British city in any meaningful sense.
Ooooh nooooo, diversity, more people working and paying taxes, more chances to learn different cultures and lifestyles and become a wide community through many different stories of places we may never see outside of a screen, how ever will us white people cope with more people being born in Manchester with a skin tone any tone darker than pale af, or not even from England itself, shocking, we won’t be able to cope, brutal. How dare people be born in Manchester, England and not be inherently white! (If you cannot tell, I am being sarcastic.)
As soon as I saw that lead photo of the terraced houses, I thought Levenshulme. I lived on Elmgate Grove in a health hazard student house in 1987. If it’s not that street, it’s the one next to it.
Stockport legend ! Just a drunk really who was a barfly round the market pubs. Remember he used to sell plasters and Xmas wrapping on the market brew for beer money
Brinnington railway station, when I was a young guy I worked there selling tickets for about six months then onto Pway dept Stockport central for another few months, Stockport is a great town or was when I was there.
I went there too! Another Deb. There were loads of Deborahs back then! You’re right about it being like St Trinians. We went on strike once ( everyone else was on strike - must have been 1979) and we all sat on the grass at the front and refused to go back in. Those poor teachers!
