Memories of the Stretford End looking like that from the late 70s when we would go in at half time after they opened the gates and wait for the stadium to empty so could find the money on the floor where the fans had been jumping up and down
I remember those old double decker tractor's, used to choke me as a kid being lead to the bus stop on Oxford road by my mother, handkerchief spit face washes are another memory .And I used to hear you don't know your born every time I sulked about something.
I was an undergraduate student at The University of Salford from October 1991 to July 1995. I was living in this Castle Irwell Student Village during my first year of undergraduate study. At first, I was living at house number 107 near to the river at the back of the student village, then after the first term of the first year, I moved to house number 78 which was near to The Pavilion and during the summer holiday, I stayed in house number 4 which was very near to the laundrette. This video brings me back the good memories of my time as an undergraduate student.
I worked for north british housing association in Hulme from 1995 to 1998. It was an experience i shall never forget. That community was proud and fierce and it was an honour to work with Tenants , out of the Wesley, then the new build. Much love to you Hulme ❤❤❤
What crap. This Hulme dated from the 1960s. The real Hulme was before these monstrosities were built. I lived my first 12 years in real Hulme in the 50s. They called them slums but they were real communities.
Born in Crumpsall Hospital in 1955, lived in old Ancoats, terraced slums with no electricity. Things had improved immensely by 74 and this looks like heaven to me, it’s like hell now.
Stopped going into Manchester 20 years ago since all the record shop's closed but in the 80's and 90's I was proud to call it my city. Great film BTW, saw it in the 90's and recognised most of it, certainly all the Manchester bit's as well as the Winnats pass. Quick Question though, I always thought the Chemist shown was on deansgate just up from Jilly's but after looking again am not sure, any ideas?
Remember the Market Centre? Pure class (if you was a teen or in your early 20's), with those South Asian radio stores which were just amazing - not forgetting 'STOLEN FROM IVOR' (!)
Manchester was grim in those days and was considered to be a dump - poor planning and architecture, so whatever they have done since is always a vast improvement (apart from the Arndale Centre). Interesting that Piccadilly bus station was actually a proper bus station back then - I remember it well - with a roof and a proper places to sit compared to a collection of exposed bus shelters on a badly deformed and potholed strip of tarmac.
My gf had her handbag stolen at Rotters and I played there in the "Battle of the Bands" competition run by Tony Wilson. I don't remember but apparently The Stone Roses were in the comp too and they won that night, lol
Born in St Mary’s Hospital 1974 Left Manchester at 8yrs old and returned 22yrs later. I couldn’t live anywhere else now! Greatest city in the world!! #❤️MCR🐝
I was lucky enough to see George Best play at Old Trafford, about that year with my Dad and brother, i was scared at age 14, walking up the cobble path with lots of men in work boots , but seeing George was worth it ❤
That’s your opinion and your entitled to it. I live in M’CR and I see a diverse, culturally rich and unique city. Times change, people change and so do places. It’s about accepting that change for me personally. I bet you can’t explain why you believe it’s a shadow of it’s former self. I also can imagine what your referring to lol 😂
@@HGee420 I just feel it’s dirtier, full of druggies and lost its charm. The local council is a shambles the police are next to useless and it’s a concrete tomb. I feel you are trying to insinuate I’m opposed to other cultures and people of colour, if you are, you are sadly wrong my fellow Mancunian.
@@HGee420yes! Thank you this is exactly what I love about living in Manchester. While I love it’s recent history and such, I adore the diversity and the community.
@TheBenson51 London has so many cultures, countries you have never heard of since the 60s ,London has been far more multicultural than the rest of the UK for the longest , other UK cities are changing but there is lot of racism and divisions in other uk cities outside of London. London is the first place immigrants come to first when they enter the UK.
There's also a lot of unity between cultures. Especially on TV, in music, football clubs, the NHS, workplaces, care homes, mixed race families etc. Let's not just highlight the bad. You're probably part of the, "multiculturalism doesn't work" brigade
@amgonnafartinyaface Manchester and Birmingham have never been multicultural back the because these cities don't have Ports ,London/Essex Liverpool, Southampton have loads of blacks and foreigners as this is the open place where they come into . Manchester is changing, Manchester has loads of racism and segregation issues same as Birmingham even today people mix with who they know.
Manchester has never been multicultural? Are you for real? I was born in Manchester, St. Mary's. Black dad, white mum. Scottish Grandparents. My primary school, saint Phillips, Hulme, was rammed with black, mixed race and Asian kids. Moss side was very multicultural and still is. My family and friends were very multicultural and still are. Nobody was racist towards any of us cos they'd get tw@tted, simple. Why would we put up with racism? I mean I'm all for freedom of speech and everyone's entitled to their views but if anyone was racist towards us and showed any kind of hate based on just our skin colour - that would not be tolerated.
Yes the classic 'Living dead at Manchester morgue' zombie film 🤣 ..born in 1971 so spent many a year walking those streets, remember the Hertz rent a car on corner, and pretty much everything else!
