Some work has gone into this video. Good effort

I knew Oldham quite well in the 1970s as my wife worked there. I don't recognise hardly a brick of the place now. Very sad.

see where the bank is on the right hand side? (red brick) timestamp 11min 36 sec, used to be the wimpy bar.... my mother was the manageress there back in the 80's, i can remember finishing school and walking up to the high street. Oldham has changed sooo much from what i can remember as a child.

Background music works very well. Thanks for putting this together. Fascinating.

The good old days where definitely better, people were happy with nowt

02:30 - Halifax King Cross trams were first introduced in 1998? You sure about that? Google says 1898 Typo aside, this was a great video I enjoyed it, thank you.

The issue is that Oldham council is now run by people who’s history and heritage is not rooted in Oldhams history which developed its culture . So it has not deeper meaning to them to protect its history or culture . Hence every building which has been an integral part of that heritage and culture isn’t important to them

Memories

Amazing Video.❤❤ Unfortunately change is not always for the better.

I was born in Pudsey, Prospect Avenue off Cemetery Road. I lived there until I was 16 when we moved to Horsforth. I continued to go to Pudsey Grammar until I was 18. This had brought back some very happy memories. Thank you.

Brilliantly done video. Well edited and nice music. Thanks much appreciated.

Rochdale has always been a SH1T hole, it spawned anarchy in the form of the Cooperative movement that smashed the system and replaced it with good. That Good was destroyed by Government, Banks and Business

Saltaire is listed. Not just one building, all of it.

That was fantastic. I'm relatively new to Sheffield, only 11 years, and to see how it's changed over time is a great lesson. One of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you for taking your time to compile this. It's getting saved to my favourites, and I will watch it often. Bravo 👏👏👏

In almost every instance, the town looks more beautiful 100 years ago than it does today.

Amazing to see the past Bradford & also seeing in comparison how sadly “progress” doesn’t always work in the long run in the city’s loss of stunning architecture & history, Leeds & Halifax seem to have made wise investments hanging on to their beautiful buildings in comparison.

Loved the video, thanks for taking the time to make it. 😊 I was hoping for a Cleckheaton video and this was better than I had hoped. I grew up on Pyenot Hall Lane, at the bottom near the gate to the Hall. I used to play in the Hall grounds and remember when the Lion went missing ( we called him Parsley ) I have a few books on local history but there was a few maps and photos here i had not seen. Thanks again. 😊

Good work

spellbinding

The music is lovely , what is it ? ❤

A lot of work went into this - thank you.

Thank you for the memories

thats actually brilliant, thank you

That was beautiful to watch brought a tear to my eye when I saw Lomax street thats where i was born x

Absolutely amazing ! Thank you.

...a fine documentary, great. I have visited Oldham from Manchester by tram and went back on foot in the end of may... A town with a big history !

The Labour council has ruined Oldham. Can't get them out of power.

Just found this video...absolutely fascinating...can't believe how many lovely, old buildings were knocked down for modernisation...couldn't some of the grander ones have been incorporated somehow? Still think " hole in the road" should have been left...Loved the early history too...wonder why Mary Queen of Scots is never mentioned on documentaries on telly that she spent fourteen years here in Sheffield? Never mind...Good vid! Cx

Wonderfully video of where I was born, in 1951 at Jane St. Very happy memories of my childhood but now that wonderful place is spoilt with traffic and wheely bins, very sad.

Does anyone know where Shibden Hall is?

God wtf happened to oldham

Great video, some lovely old pics of Sheffield, thank you for sharing, Sheffield really was very beautiful back in the day, with some stunning buildings full of character.... The old pics of Snig Hill that I've seen previously from engravings have it looking very Dickensian & full of charm. Also a big well done Sheffield city council, who over the years have taken a charming, often quaint city, and demolished beautiful old buildings full of character & charm & replaced them with absolute tripe, or worse still, nothing at all.... Concrete, glass, steel & brick in their modern form all look soulless at the side of what was there. I understand that the Germans did their bit in WW2 where replanning our city was concerned, (& some areas may have been more slum like than others & in need of a bit of makeover), but that's nothing compared to the criminal act of vandalising the city in the name of progress by our dear council. To paraphrase Jane Austen's Mr Knightly.... "Badly done, Sheffield Council".... It looked better before all the "men of vision" had a hand in it from the Victorian/post modern era onwards. I can never understand why many towns & cities in the UK manage to keep their old buildings & refurbish them, but that ours in Sheffield have to be got rid of for no reason that it's people can see, other than because some city planner wanted to leave their mark. Dogs leave their mark too, but it doesn't mean any of us would want to step in it!

Brilliant video, I go on through King Cross everyday to Luddeden Foot and can't how much it's changed. Good to learn abit of history of Savile Park aswel.

Is there anywhere Sheffield didn't pull down to widen the road? The city is a total dump most of planned by Sheffield city council.

When I see old footage like this it saddens me, you take a look around Oldham today it's heritage torn down less & less remains as today's generation replaces shops homes and buildings with immigration filth. Where's our Oldham heritage gone? Depreciation by modern day corporate greed yet it was our ancestors, our grandparents parents that built the backbone of Oldham. My gran worked in both Kent and manor mill during the cotton ages, only Kent mill remains. I don't think modern world appreciates heritage wherever you are or wherever you come from, heritage is only truly appreciated during it's time and era not present future is a reflection of the world today. #keepheritagealive

we had some wonderful buildings but sadly most of them have gone to make way for something perhaps more functional but not as historical

Though now cleaner looking the old charm of Keighley has now been lost.

She wasnt imprisoned in the Turret House but somewhere in the main house. She certainly will have visited the Turret House but it would have been to risky to imprison her there (close to the outside) - a one time guide there

Lovely video. Very interesting. I painted Victoria Hall and the Mousalium as part of my art degree. Born in Bradford @ the Duke of York, in the 60s and had family from Heaton.

This is my favourite RPG.

What a superb piece of work. Love it!

Remember te Adephi from my years at the school next door where i started primary school and completed my education at the school we got transferred to about 1951 or 2 just past the Adelphi i think it was langs fish shop always nosy for me across from the school was a bakery and a chemist used to buy sticks of cinnamon and smoke it those were the days but i always hated the cold and now live happily in a warm climate which i have done for nearly 70 years in a small quiet perfect place

this is such a cool video! I was born in Oldham and I still live here. I loved seeing the comparison photos.They knocked down so many nice buildings what a shame😢 I learned some new history about Oldham - thank you !

74 yrs ago I was born in Sheffield. Thank you for sharing this, it brought back many memories and a couple of tears....

Thank you for memories. Great sets of photos! I remember most of old Shipley..

My Gran and my Mum.were born there. Really enjoyed this. Thanks.

Good job with the fixed perspectives!
