As areas of Salford were being flattened for new development, Julian Pettifer went to look at some of the few remaining buildings which were left standing. While their days may also have been numbered, the pubs of Hanky Park were still being frequented by loyal, longstanding customers, some of whom travelled miles to carry on drinking at their 'local'.

The pubs were a way back to the past for these men, to what was left of everything they had ever known and they travelled miles to get there, just to find somewhere they felt they belonged. Now they would be gone too. Quite a moving film really.

@kaitlyn__L Месяц назад

The biggest problem, as it strikes me, is that the midcentury style of planning was overly-focused on what the project looks like when viewed from the sky. For people in planes to think "that looks nice" as they go on their holiday. There was no real emphasis on what it was like down on the ground, with poor sightlines and an unfriendly scale.

When a pub closes few spare a thought to the local community. Friends lose contact, pub teams are lost and a way of life dies. Most people had a sense of loyalty and pride to their regular pub as can be seen here. As someone whos seen three old regular pubs close I can feel for these peoples loss.

@Pikestnt Месяц назад

You’ve got to love planners (🤔) Instead of improving what was there, they chose to evict everybody, raze the lot and build new, making sure that all community spirit was destroyed at the same time. It’s as deliberately destructive as the highland clearances or the pogroms in 1930s Europe. I presume the planners meant well but the outcome was cruel and brutal irrespective of their intentions.

@brianartillery Месяц назад

Planners very seldom mean well. As long as they get paid, they don't really care. Most of them don't even live in the locality of their destruction, and have no local knowledge whatsoever. Where I live, a load of expensive flats were built next to a river, despite the fact that the river ran in a channel higher than the level of the first floor and garage levels. I expect you can see where this is going, can't you. A storm in the winter of 2013 meant that people woke up to find they couldn't leave their new homes, as the ground floor was under 6-7 feet of filthy water.

@andydixon2980 Месяц назад

Exactly. Why not make improvements to the area instead of destroying the lot and displacing a whole community. It must be profit motivated to do this. It's so wrong.

1963: HOW LOCAL IS YOUR LOCAL? | Tonight | Voice of the People | BBC Archive 1338pm 6.7.24 love on the dole? there's no love on it. i should know. d'you think i could try love on the sick? they're on a good screw, the sick and defunkt. when i saw the solitary pubs i was thinking: 'kin hell.............. how so? . i was looking at the new, revivified salford and, as i say, when they change the landscapes peoples' memories are scuppered - especially the elderly's etc etc.... crazy revamp of city scapes is not to be sniffed at or takenon lightly. and again, when all these flat pack kultur flats sprang up i said give it 15 years and they'll all be filthy and in need of rendrign. whcih they are... they might revert to bricklaying and actual bricks as a material to utilize (in 20 years ro so) .... briclaying seems to be slowly on the wane in favour of cladding - refer to the area round strangeways... it's all faux red brick cladding. looks crap. father wil be turning in his cement mixer...

Everybody looked so old in those days.

'So old ' you mean not looking chavvy and having pink and blue hair which seems to be the fashion in this 'enlightened' age? 🙄

@beckyzwhite Месяц назад

@@UXB-p5u No, I mean 28 year olds who look 45. The same phenomenon can be observed when looking at English footballers from the 1930s and 1940s

@@beckyzwhite You can see the same phenomenon now as millennials get older but still wear clothes and hairstyles that went out of fashion in the 2010s and 00s. Same as gen-X actually who still dress and wear 90s and 00s fashion. The 30 year old people in this video dress and talk and carry themselves like what we would associate with old people in their 70s and 80s now, unsurprisingly, because this generation are now in their 70s and 80s. It's not helped by the awful diet, poor healthcare and hard manual work that cause physical aging. This crowd in the pub looks physically much fitter and well-postured than today's male population though in spite of all that
