I am a Salford girl married a Manchester lad so these photos mean so much to us.

The places look grim now, but, when you lived there it was home!!

I lived in Gatley and I knew people in Ancoats, Ardwick Collyhurst Mosside. When Manchester Council moved people to new accommodation, instead of moving folk to the same area they were moved here, there and everywhere. Why? They broke up communities people who knew one another. Girls at my school said they were scared and unhappy. Was so sad.

Correct Janet we were moved to Heald Green. Ardwick born.

Great video. I know that a lot of people's living conditions back then were horrible and the living conditions nowadays and Medicine technology is the best it's every been but I can't help thinking we've also lost so much. Community's wiped out and the living and work ethics completely gone. So sad. That's a brill song by the way

what can l say!. proud to be a mancunian.

Lived in Livinia St, off Palmerston St, 1946 to 1959, when moved to Partington, great memories of Every St School, matinees at the Don and many happy hours in Ardwick Lads Club.

amazing.....ghostly........sad.........loved the song too..........makes the imagination run wild.....thank you.

Yea Manchester has changed a lot, moved the people out years ago to out of town estates, it’s all posh apartments , the social history is so amazing, not sure if this ‘gentrification’ is a good thing. There’s no soul now. Your presentation is excellent. Eccles

Brought back some memories that, I’m not from Ancoats but next door in Miles Platting but had to leave when I was 5/6 when they pulled down all the terraced houses at the top of Bradford Road

I was born in Star Hall on 24th Oct 1949. lived in: Ardwick, Ancoats and Beswick. Worked at English Steel Openshaw. That's enough now- in these days of " Identity theft. So it goes.

My Mum worked at English Steel, we had to move from Miles Platting around 77/78 when they demolished all the terraced houses from Bradford Road to Sandal Street, moved up to the newly built ( not even finished when we got there ) Openshaw Village, my Mum always said our kitchen was where her office was.

I grew up in ancoats in the 70's. Mozart close opposite the Jersey Lilly. Happy memories even though we were all completely skint.

I was born at home on Prince street, no longer there, but Rylance street and Claribel street are. Was that classed as Ancoats?. Great video too.

Born at home on Star Ave Ancoats

My old mans boozing ground....Ernie Webster....anyone know him ?

Jolly good collection of historic photos with appropriate music. Just one small criticism, the photo changes could be a little slower (when I pause the screen darkens).
