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 😊❤️

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

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.

1950s/early 60s before the labour council destroyed the town.

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 .

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.

When this video was taken i wasn't even born yet! crazy to watch.

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

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.

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

So many perms! love it, thanks for posting

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.

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

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

Thank you so much for uploading this xx

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.

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.

Big up Lovlees!!!

Well done

Ashton looks almost the same today...

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

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

That market was out of this world

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

Well spotted. Ashton used to be a popular place for the Corrie stars in the 70s/80s. I remember particularly Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) often seen around.

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 😂

I’d be terrified, I moved to France 11 years ago from Dukinfield, when I go back to visit Tameside i can’t wait to get home to France. It’s a lawless dump of place now. Enjoy your visit

​@@Zoe-dr5ps It was good thanks! But sad, as visiting my mum who is ill. I went to the market but I was sad to see it wasn't half as busy as in this video. I also went to Bow Street where the chemist used to be on the corner of the market as that's where I met my partner, she worked at that chemist and we used to meet up for lunch - this was 30 years ago, now me and her live with our kids in Australia! Cheers, Dave.​

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

Look at the diffence 1990 it was packed now its empty

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

Penny meadow hasn't changed much

I go to Ashton regularly you should come to oldham

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

@hendokm That's exactly what the Aborigines in australia said. Before the English convicts invaded and slaughtered most of the locals.

It looks exactly the same now!!!

Penny meadow’s not changed much 😂

Still looks the same tbh

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.

I agree that the government and elites have created a society that cannot afford to raise a family. But, had we not kept the 2 party system on rotation, things may be different. And I really think our pensions being safe is completely secondary to the destruction of our culture, heritage and identity. And if you think dirty, intolerant Muslims...who can't stand us. And sub Saharan Africans who are just here for freebies and to harass girls, and commit crime, are gonna see us as 'united'...you have got another thing coming. Unbelievable.

Sikh guys shop ain't there any more
