ELLAND Past & Present 

How’s that for history. Looks a million times better in the old days than today

I was born in Elland ( 1948 ) so stepping back in time. I remember when the rot set in and they knocked down two nice stone built streets and put up a block of flats that were ok for rearing hens - not for people to live in. The old butcher on Southgate, Milton Smith, was a mate of my dads. Quite sad to see but thanks to whoever produced this video.

Gob smacked, absolutely gob smacked looking back to these old photos, to how is today. From Church street to South End School, and now ruined. A little town such as Elland, they should have left it's heritage and not demolish everything. Even Rex cinema, I've heard it's going to get demolished, even though they've just refurbished it. I've had to pause on every single photo, old and new in disbelief. Instead of spending all brass on Halifax, spend abit of change in Elland. Great video, just subscribed.

We've still got Dobson's: the shop on Southgate is gone, but the factory remains on Northgate.

This was Amazing and the music was beautiful. Thank you so much.

Another example of 20 century 'uglification'. It's the horrible bright plastic shop signs that do it. Image those on the Shambles in York! Give me cottages and narrow streets rather than blocks of concrete any day. Also would love to know where you got the beautiful music from.

Another fantastic video, please do one for Blackpool!

really likeing your vidieos
