I remember when the precinct was just finished and it still smelled like fresh concrete. Everything was new, clean and modern and even though they wrecked Broad Street and other places, the new developments felt exciting and had a good vibe and a pint of bitter was only 14p in the Keystone. I like this shaky old film. It's like viewing through a time machine.
Great video and memories of the old maisonettes where I grew up for my first 5 years. Plenty of footage of my mum when she was little in there too which was nice to see. Thanks.
Fantastic video that. I lived on langworthy estate and went to new winsor primary then clarendon in the 80s and left in 90. I remember these maisonettes and pubs.
Wow happy days my gran lived on cherry tree court across the road in the 70s. I remember dr conibears dental surgery close to it. We played out on sorbus not sure if it was that one or one of the other maisonettes that had a little concrete playground. She used to walk us down to the Carlton on Saturdays. We lived on south langworthy road which is now industrial units. 😞
Thank you for memories my uncle had the piedpiper pub when it was first built my brother in drank in the pubs round there I was born in higgson st happy times ♥️🙏🏻🐝
I think I just watched my childhood! Fond memories of the Salford community back then. We all 'ad nowt an' were happy! Shame whats happened to the population over the years
would love to know how your family are doing and if you are still in the area, loved the precinct pub crawl and buying an outfit with matching shoes and handbag when i got paid, all changed now, no spirit left...such a shame
What year was that carnival? I could have been stood on Eccles New Road watching it with my mum... Great bit of nostalgia, great memories from a Salford that once was, and sad to think it will disappear with my generation.
@@JustMeZero988 I was born in 1968 and raised in Thurlow Street (the Waverley Hotel was - is - on the corner) until they moved us all out, but I just about remember at least one carnival like that coming down Eccles New Road. Certainly remember the 1977 Silver Jubilee street party we had, when all the kerbstones were painted red, white and blue!
No Donna, it was Salford, around the precinct area and where Stott Lane car park is near Salford Royal Hospital (formally Hope Hospital). So it isn't I'm sorry to say. My mate moved to Little Hulton and he lived on Kenyon Way, but that was well after these photos.
