Ashton under lyne in 1990. 

I watched this video a couple of years back with my grandad just before he passed away he loved it brought a tear to my eye seeing it again .

Great video of busy shopping time great memories... Sad to see how the yrs and council have killed it... Wel. Done

Time travel, was hoping to spot someone I recognize 😊❤️

What a brilliant video!!! Ashton market when it had customers! There are more traffic wardens than shoppers now. Great days, great days. Thank you for posting.

I'm watching this in 2024. I wish i could step into the video and go back in time.

Brilliant vidio ,I have'nt seen any other real footage of inside the old market from before the fire . I know it's about your family story , but for everyone else who remembers A-U-L way back (and from way before) it's a great bit of nostalgic film . Many Thanks , such a shame that more of us did'nt record the last century .

I used to live near the top of Penny Meadow on Mossley Road until I left England in 1982. Nice to see a bit of Ashton again.

This is fascinating!! Seeing how it used to be compared to now. Thanks for sharing mercian900. I was around 3 years old when this video was taken and i have fond memories of my mum dragging me around the market hall on a Saturday afternoon.

Man! I will never forget the smell of the solvents from that shoe repair and key cutting place in the indoor market.

Wowww this is awesome. I remember "Stuart Electronics" on that street. Not sure if it was there in 1990 but it definitely was in the later 90's.

I used to love going to Ashton. Not any more sadly.

I moved to Ashton j2 years before this video was shot. I was only going to stay 6 month, I am still here. 😂

So many perms! love it, thanks for posting

Thanks for sharing this took me right back I was 9 when this was made my gran and grandad live in ashton and used to always take me there every Saturday morning

Thank you so much for uploading this xx

I remember the toy stall on the indoor market. Don’t think it was on the video but great vid 👍🏻

I was born in 1990 and grew up in Tameside. Fond memories of the inside market looking like that.

Amazing! It's thriving! local business doing well, plenty of shops and people. Reasonable prices. Nothing like that now! 70 percent of that has gone, it's a poverty stricken ghost town.

This is so interesting, we own the hardware stall and its lovely to see the old stall before the fire. Thankyou for uploading this.:)))

I spent many a Saturday at VU Data on Stamford Street then a chip muffin at the Wooden Spoon in the bus station. Good days.

Anyone remember Alan’s stall back in the 80s?

That sandwich shop at 5:16 was really good ! Could not beat there turkey salad sarnies!!

Well done

That market was out of this world

Joy to see how Ashton a proud northern town was look at it now still best poeple there full of foreigners all shops gone pound shops and beggars

Ashton looks almost the same today...

Who remembers the video shop with about three floors full of videos you could rent? 😂

@5:46 that shop on the left is the tobacconist??

I was 25 when ths was shot. Where did the time go?

1.39 for 4 cans of lager.. jesus

Big up Lovlees!!!

This will be me in a couple of weeks. I grew up in Ashton and worked at Tameside Council... But have been living in Australia and returning for a visit after 10 years of being away. I am half excited / half terrified 😂

Could not film in there like that now.

Great video and great memories too. I hope you like my videos of equal quality. Cheers

I was 3 years old

Classic cars wow

It looks like someone took a 1990's camera and filmed Ashton with it in 2013.

Look at the diffence 1990 it was packed now its empty

Was that Julie Goodyear in the café with the hat on ?

Not a foreigner in sigh or even a pound shop for that matter

That fruit shop on penny meadow is still there

Luvlies

Penny Meadow £1 7s 10d beer :-) Pat Butcher!

Penny meadow’s not changed much 😂

Penny meadow hasn't changed much

tamesides very own pat butcher shopping!

Was that an american at 5:57? Strange to see an american in ashton of all places during the early 90's

I go to Ashton regularly you should come to oldham

It looks exactly the same now!!!

No point blaming immigrants for the underlying problems which necessitate immigration, guys. These people are needed to serve the older generations and their/your pensions. Without immigration we're absolutely buggered. Now, if the rich weren't syphoning all the money into their Bermuda/Panama/Gibraltar shell companies instead of paying some taxes, maybe the roads wouldn't knacker your springs, maybe we'd be able to afford to fill the car up and heat your home in the winter, and maybe, just maybe my generation could afford to flipping breed some children to pay for our pensions. But nope - we let them ruin our planet and steal our wealth and blame the people who come to plug the holes. Don't let them divide us.

Sikh guys shop ain't there any more

Still looks the same tbh

too white
