THE SCUTTLERS 2 - A Manchester & Salford Documentary!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- If you're a fan of Peaky blinders, you may be aware that Manchester holds a murky past of it's own, when it comes to gangland culture to rival the Shelby family's shenanigans. Scuttling gangs were territorial fighting gangs, as reflected in their names; the Bengal Tigers came from the cluster of streets and courts off Bengal Street in Ancoats. Most gangs took their names from a local thoroughfare, such as Holland Street, Miles Platting, or Hope Street, Salford!

Can’t even tell you how excited I was to watch this! Absolutely amazing Ant! Your passion for our local history is top notch! I love our history, it’s gritty, tragic, dark but so so interesting and I can’t get enough of it. Scuttlers remind me of Fagins kids in Oliver Twist, desperate to belong and survive. Seriously mate, I wish they would teach Manchester history in our schools because your videos would be perfect for them. 💯
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video as I know you like your scuttlers stories! you've summed them up perfectly. They were really similar to Fangins gang! thanks for taking the time out to watch it, I really appreciate it :)
@@daftmonkey7296 always a pleasure matey 💯💫
Pity we never found out about the rest of Brooks' life. Bear in mind most scuttlers gave up the life of crime when they reached their early to mid 20s. They married, got better jobs, set up home etc. Scuttling was something teenagers did out of boredom. It was fun. The Lads' Club movement ended it all. If asked, they'd have told you it was their way of letting off steam, and like messing around. They'd have been quite happy left alone by the then rudimentary police force, later refined by Jerome Caminada. There's a direct line from scuttlers to mods and rockers in the 60s.
Gonna enjoy this top lad
thanks a lot Christopher! I really appreciate it. :)
@@THENORTHSACE73 thanks a lot, plenty of content coming up over the next few months :) thanks for watching :)
Since reading the book I've been interested I have a signed copy wonder if any of the scuttlers descendents are still about be interesting to hear from them
How can this channel have so few subscribers? - Fantastic work again. You deserve far more views.
Much appreciated Strafan! maybe one day I will get reach those heights. thanks for watching and commenting mate :)
I stumbled across this channel..
Totally hooked, much admiration for Ant ❤
So well crafted, so much heart
Worth the wait. Looking forward to next week. 👍
cheers carl! :)
Watch this later when little one in bobos ...All your vlogs are definitely worth the wait.. top one ant 👍🏻
thanks a lot tracy! I hope you enjoy!
Wonderful to have another one of your great videos duck.👍
Absolutely brilliant !!
thank you very much Bengal! :)
You young Man have a talent and a passion that you combine BRILLIANTLY. I love your videos and work, and this is another belter, Thank you for all the hard work you do mate.
and thank you for the loyal support Eddie, I really do appreciate that, cheers :)
Amazing as always! Can’t wait for part 2 ❤ proud of you xxx
thanks pea xx
Please thank Carol for the help in discovering about the real people of the Scuttlers. As for having two parts, I'm sure many of your viewers would be just as content watching hour plus vlogs as I would. I find myself transfixed and not wanting it to end. This I'm sure any TV station would love to capture the publics interest. I believe you leave, such as the bbc behind tenfold. You're a natural, duck ,now I can't wait until next Sunday. Bless you, duck. 👍
thanks so much greg for the very kind comment! I will pass your regards onto Carole, im sure it will mean the world to her. I am really glad you enjoyed the video duck, and as always thank you for the loyal support :) take care pal.
@Daft Monkey you're very welcome duck.
Fookin brilliant as always. Well worth the wait!
haha! thank a lot mate:)
Wow Mr. 🐒. Solid piece of Art mate as always. The emotions you pulled from me narrating the last breath of Joe Brady with your voice some still photos and the background music hitting that crescendo was just awesome. Best comeback since MU in '99. Well done mate seriously.
that really means the world paddy! so glad you enjoyed it! you've been with us since day one, your support means everything! thanks so much!
Absolutely Amazing, So pleased you scanned over The Bradford street scuttlers grave in phillips park, William Willan, really looking forward to next week, Great job mate
cheers buddy! a little bonus clip will going into part 2 (this Sunday) on William and his grave! hope you enjoy!
Took ya advice and watched it with a beer. When u think the distance between, Adelphi, greengate, angel, n Bengal was just over a mile, loads of gangs. How Greengate has changed since my days when I worked there. Bengal st is a classic I agree. Great history. Look forward to Henry Burgess next week, read about him in the book. Just like to say that was a brilliant video, better than anything on the Tele. Superb mate. Take care your Slurpy friend 😊🍺👏👏👏
im glad you had a slurp with it pal, makes it better after a few tipples haha! yeah, such a short distance and so much carnage! thanks for watching mate and as usual its much appreciate :)
Anthony that was incredible! As always, superbly researched, crafted and presented. And what a story those fellas created in their short, fierce lives. I got the goosebumps several times watching this and, from what you've mentioned so far about that hallion Burgess, next week's vlog is bound to be a real terror show. I'll be double-locking the door and switching the phone off - absolutely no interruptions! Cheers DM, that was a true classic.
haha! I'm sure you will enjoy it, he's one wicked lad let me tell ya. I really appreciate the support Padaric, thank you matey :)
Absolutely brilliant pal, top quality as always, can’t wait for next week. 👌👍
much appreciated Judd! cheers mate
Fantastic Ant, always worth the wait for a new video.Looking forward to next week's keep up the good work 👍
Much appreciate Dave, cheers mate !
The way you narrate these videos, I almost feel like I'm there as it happened.
Really glad you feel that way. I love it when people feel apart of the story. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Wow held my breath all the way through this. Always enjoy your vlogs and this one is no different. Amazing story teller
Thank you so much Sheila! :)
The Scuttlers make subsequent gangs of note since that period look tame in comparison, looking forward to part three
Yeah I agree. The part 3 is on the channel. It’s called the scuttlers the final chapter 👍🏼
What a well researched documentary, pal. Excellent 👍
thank Paul, much appreciated mate
Absolutely amazing Ant 🎉🎉 well worth the wait, and background history documented, first class 👏
Thanks mate, that's really kind of you! :)
Wow..loved the video..powerful and dramatic..the research, editing, filming is absolutely brilliant..can’t wait for the next one…Keep it up DM 🐒
cheers dad! x
Morrisons Finest 👍🏻
@@ianmaddams9577 haha! He will be making an appearance soon 👨🏻
Love this vlog and can’t wait for the next one 👍🏼
thank you Jane!
Brilliant as usual, but what terrible terrifying times they lived 😫 Looking forward to next week , definitely makes you great full of what we have today ❤
thanks for taking the time our to watch Diane, really hope you enjoy next weeks instalment!
Just finished watching this one Anthony and will definitely be watching it again. This is the history that should be taught in schools today! not to glorify the violence but to ensure that we never have to return to those times again. Cannot wait for part 3 next week mate.
thanks buddy! that means the worlds mate! :)
@@daftmonkey7296 We will have to meet up at the meadow one day for a cuppa.
You are an excellent story teller, great details, perfect descriptions for the imagination.
I am from Salford and have never even heard of the Scuttlers. Loved it.
Well done. Keep doing what you're doing x
aww, thank you So much Emma! :)
Absolutely superb Anthony. Well worth the wait. Looking forward to part 2. Excellent work 👍👍
thanks a lot Stu! :)
Absolutely incredible ant, loved every second mate. It was spine chilling the characters you described, all victims and products of horrible poverty and lack of moral teachings from parents etc.. to say I'm looking forward to next Sunday is a understatement
Haha, cheers mate, it means a lot that! thank you so much :)
@@daftmonkey7296 👍👍
I just have to say me and my mum have loved watching your videos all day !!! We just love your passion for the history of Salford and Manchester and you are an awesome filmmaker !! We share your passion you are amazing !!! ❤
That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch it. I really do appreciate it. Please pass my thanks onto your mum too! 🙏🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 thankyou so much ❤️ we are just watching the surviving Salford one and I am so shocked and sad to see the crescent in the state that it's in now , I went to Salford uni between 2012 and 2015 and had many a time talking revolutions and politics with the locals and looking at it now made me cry , completely agree with what you said , but on a happier note so glad to have found your work and looking forward to your next videos 😎 ❤️
@@NaiadFloss thank you so much, that video was great to film and more importantly capturing some of these places on camera before they are gone... I recently have read that the pub is being restored to its former glory! I will believe it when I see it, but at least it seems like someone if giving it the attention is deserves. Thank you once again :)
Top class and worth the wait mate! Loved how you put this together and giving a personal account of each gang leader. You bring it back to life. Something very unique. Can't wait for next week!
Honestly mate, thank you very much! really looking forward to what you have to offer too bud! as always thanks for the loyal support!
Another absolute cracking video Ant. Love the atmosphere you are so good at creating around your vlogs and you are a master at the interjections. I Learnt so much from this video. I used to work overlooking angel meadow in 2015 so i know the area quite well. Once again mate, well done.
much appreciated mate, what a place to overlook hey! as always thanks for the loyal support !
I kid you not Ant, the locals used to tell me there are literally thousands of bodies buried at Angel Meadow. Under the flags, these poor souls were not afforded the luxury of coffins and were put in the ground as they were. i know on more than one occasion after heavy rain some of their remains washed into the nearby river Irk causing massive health risks. After that it was concreted and St Michaels Flags were laid to contain the site. Great video mate. All the best Les.
Fascinating 👍
Great video Anthony, you have a lot of older video content in this one which is always cool to see. I was poking around Google Earth at some of these places and they have changed quite a bit. The area around Bengal street still kind of looks the same, only there seem to be more restaurants and bars. Makes you wonder what ghost stories there are around these areas. Once again great work!
exactly Paul, I bet theres a few scuttles roaming the corridors that's for sure! I really appreciate the support you show the channel mate, thank you so much!
Another excellent & informative video! Can't wait for the next episode!!! You work so hard researching your videos! Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Helen! really glad you enjoyed it :)
I absolutely love your videos. Such great insight and research 👏
Thanks so much Marko!
@Daft Monkey I'm not sure if you are aware, but the wall on one of your previous videos where you did the tracing, I went a few months ago and there's a bloody gate blocking it off now.
@@Marko_Polo_808 thanks right mate, they've fenced it off, I really hope they don't destroy it! some ancient history right there. lets hope they save it :)
@Daft Monkey given the constant developments of that area I hope it's preserved as well, mate.
Awe Anthony another cracking video mate Worth waiting for as always. Love how you put your vids together. Your fantastic research & passion are always so clearly obvious. I love the sounds & visuals you use giving it so much atmosphere & true feeling of what it must've been like to be there. Great work Ant👌🏻
Again as I said after the last video...don't stop 🙏🏻☺️ x
(I read "Angel Meadow" by Dean Kirby who you suggested a while back. I couldn't put it down. Brill book cheers 👍🏻)
Ps. Can't wait for part 2 scuttlers!
aww cheers Tina! really happy you enjoyed it! yeah, belting book! just bought it for my nana! im sure she will like it :)
Great content, magnificently put together as always.
Thank you Phil! really kind of you that, cheers
My apologies, Thanks to Carol great work too ❤🎉❤
morning...thoroughly enjoyed your research and videos on old Manchester and Salford and the gangs therein....i grew up in the East End of London in the 1960s, it was rough and poor but your work brings home how civilised we were compared to the late Victorian era - we didn't have much, but by god we were millionaires compared to these poor sods...the loss of the youth clubs has had a devastating effect on this country - taking us back to the days of street crime and street gangs and bored youth.... a hearty well done from me for your hard work - Chris
Thanks for taking the time out to watch the video Chris. I agree, the youth clubs not only kept the crime down but also gave a root to the youngsters to get out of the life of crime and also saved them in many ways. More of these clubs should be springing up all around the uk and we have definitely gone backwards as a society. Thanks once again mate, really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼 take care pal
Very moving, you truly bring history alive, tough characters surviving in tough times, keep up the great work
If TH-cam did the Oscar’s then this winner. I can’t wait for the next upload. Keep up the great work mate
That really means a lot thanks so much mate! As long as there’s free beer I’d go too! 😂
very interesting , I think one of my ancestors was a scuttler Herbert Howard .
Excellent 👌 my Grandfather and Grandmother came from Ancoats. I'm in my 60s now and I worked as a student on Bengal Street. It was a vastly different place than it is today. But regardless, I will always be drawn to that place .
Thanks so much for watching the video mate. Really glad you could connect with it and it brought back some memories. 🙏🏼
Love your films ant I find myself imursing myself imagining I'm there same as when you read a book can't wait for pt3
thank you so much mate! and thanks for showing your loyal support once again mate! take care :)
Ave it r kid, get in, watchin' it now! 😀😀👍👍
haha cheers pal!
Hey mate , from a fellow Manc in a far off land . Just watched all you docs . Fantastic mate , what a great insight to our City . Respect to you 16:13 for your devotion and hard work in digging deep into the past of our great City . Hats off to you ,
Massive thank you Simon, that really means a lot mate! Great to know fellow mancs enjoy the content of this rich historical city! Thanks once again 👍🏼
Another brilliant film Anthony, thanks for this. I'm looking forward to next week. I remember Manchester in the early 1970's as a violent place too. Piccadilly Bus Station and Gardens at the side. often saw the blood flowing freely at the weekends. Saturday afternoons were always 'exciting' too, regardless of who was playing at home. In a time before kids had guns and were doped out of their heads, fighting was a right of passage for many. I haven't been home for decades so have no idea what town is like these days.
cheers mike, sounds horrific times, I really appreciate you taking the time out to watch this! take care pal :)
Fantastic work as always fella!
cheers Nick! much appreciated !
Once again very interesting indeed DM. The scuttlers were very tough guys brought up in tough times. Its good to always remember what happened in the past so that the future can change. Wonderful DM. 😊
Another great video and again your passion for history is so evident. Looking forward to next week for part 2, thank you
cheers buddy! much appreciated! :)
Well done on another brilliant episode, so much history and information 👍⭐️had me gripped from the start and can't wait until next weekend 😊thank you for all your hard work xx😇and congratulations on 50, 000 subscribers🥳 ⭐️and here's to 100,000👍👌
much appreciated Eleanor! cheers!
Amazing yet again ❤ will be sat with my brew next week ready for the next one x
haha! hope you enjoy it Ruby :)
Brilliant piece of work as always. Local history is always fascinating. Having read plenty about the scuttlers, been to plays and done a number of the local Manchester guided tour walks on the subject, I found your take on it a real credit to your craft. Your talents as researcher, film editor but above all your story telling has the power to capture and hold the attention of your audience from start to finish. You have the unrivalled ability to bring your characters to life with such passion, I think schools etc would benefit greatly if only history was taught in your unique, down to earth, everyday style. Look forward to part two! Well done yet again, you never disappoint x
Honestly that really does mean the world to me! Thank you so much for the kind comment! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you like part 2 this weekend 🔥
Loved the video! Looking forward to next week.👍♥️😃
thanks a lot pal!
Your very welcome, you deserve the praise!👍
Great production Anthony. Well worth the wait mate 🙂👍

Thanks again very well put together 👍
Another brilliant video mate, been waiting for this since I watched the last one last year. Great insight into the struggles of those young men trying to make their mark in the dull environment of 19th century Manchester. That Billy Brooks looks one mean character. As a born and bred Mancunian, looking forward to seeing the next one. Well done mate, keep them coming. MCFC loyal since 1973
Thanks so much mate! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Part 2 this weekend! Hope you enjoy it 🔥👍🏼
Well done! My ancestors lived in Angel Meadow, and I learned a lot after reading Dean Kirby's book and visiting the area from the States while I was in Manchester to spend time with family. Fascinating history, and I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
Really juli, how interesting! Thank you so much for watching the video! I really do appreciate and I’m so happy you could connect with it 🙏🏼👍🏼
Another absolutely brilliant video, the way you tell these stories is spot on, I'm engrossed from start to finish. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

Excellent piece and a well researched and told story of the gangs that ran the streets of Manchester and Salford you are a truly talented young man thanks for your time and effort on this subject 👏👏👏👏👏
Much appreciated Paul, thanks :)
Wow Ant this is another banger of a video and thank you so much for spending so much time putting this together. Listening to the story of the scuttlers makes me so thankful I wasn't around at that time and having to live as they all did. You bring this story to life in so many ways and certainly make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Love the video Ant, you've done Manchester/Salford history proud and of course yourself too. I've shared to my fb in the hope more watch it and you get more subs. Thank you xxxx
that really does mean the world to me Gaynor! I cant thank you enough! really pleased you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy part 2 next weekend :)
Excellent stuff mate 👏 👍

Thanks so much Jacqueline 🙏🏼
You do put so much into your videos, not just the research but the production too. We wasn’t going to watch this as it’s not really our thing about history. But after the first five minutes we was glued. Thanks for an amazing entertaining video 🙌👍👌
thanks so much guys, I really appreciate you taking the time out to watch it and im glad you enjoyed it. it means a lot. take care :)
The work and effort that’s gone into researching, collating, building the story and then editing it is incredible. Top job Ant, your vlogs deserve lots more views. Keeping our local history alive deserves huge credit. Looking forward to next week already.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much! It’s all worth it in the end when people enjoy them. Thanks for the kind words and taking the time out to watch 👍🏼
Amazing work bud. Back holgate street ran directly behind the fire station on Thompson Street. Can't wait for more content 💪
Cheers mate! Much appreciated 👍🏼
Truly amazing video and the effort 👌 💪 🙂 👏 super impressed on the hard work making the video too...your a good man decent humble and worth a subscription 👏 👍 😀 SALFORD CITY 👈💚

Amazing video, appreciate all the effort you have put into your video, bringing the story and character s back to life .😊
Thank you my friend .Great info and video. Saludos
thanks so much Nolberto! much appreciated mate :)
I can see why they lived how they did. Such bloody awful lives. You had to be as hard as nails just to survive, never mind being the top dog. Thank you for all your hard work Anthony. I loved it.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch the video! Im in total agreement with you! And if you wasn’t a tough person, the city made you one. Hard times most definitely 👍🏼
Phenomenal work. You really are a hidden gem. X
Aww thanks so much Kerry! Really glad you enjoyed the video! Part 2 this weekend 👍🏼
Loved it. Top, top quality as always. Now gonna watch the final episode 👍
so glad you enjoyed it Nigel! thank you mate
Again brilliant mate 👍
Thanks so much Gary! 👍🏼
Absolutely superb! I've seen many of the mug shots of the people in your video, as I'm a genealogist, and I often wondered about their stories.
As a genealogist I see birth, marriage and death records as the skeleton, census records as the muscle and photos, military, medical, criminal records, news articles etc as the 'person'.
I'm going to go back over some of the northern family trees I've done, where I've seen the photos in your video and adding a weblink to your youtube, so anyone researching that ancestor can learn so much more from you!
Love your channel, have liked, subscribed and rang the bell - and also letting my genealogy friends know about you!
Aww thanks so much Debbie for you lovely comment! I will do just that. Really glad you enjoyed the video and really silly you’ve subscribed to the channel! It really does mean the world. Hope you enjoy what’s coming up 👍🏼
Nice one Ant, Fantastic video 👍
much appreciated pal! thank you!
Congratulations ant on your TH-cam channel, just caught up with your latest offering ... Great video work as always John 😎📸
Thank you so much John! Really happy you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment mate 👍🏼
Absolutely loved the video clips about Manchester and Salford Scutters. What fascinates me is who provided funds for the grave markers was it done by public subscriptions? Keep the videos coming. I brought the book Manchester Gangs in Waterstones the other month . Sara from Bolton x
On many occasions it was left to the families but there would always be donations from other family’s to help towards funding. If you’ve ever seen Angela’s ashes the film, I’d imagine it would have been very similar circumstances. Thanks so much for watching Sara! I really do appreciate it 💫
another great vid i work in Ancoats as a concierge for Man life so i spend a lot of time in the Area and i never get tired of the streets and old buildings
Thank so much matt! Yeah, such an historic area! It’s great on the eye! Thanks once again, take care 👍🏼
Finally got to watch it Anthony amazing like all your vids, dark history brought back to life we should never forget how tough it was back then …the rich poor divide still here today thank God we don’t have to live like these poor souls did….can’t wait for your 2nd part x
Brilliant 👍
Thank you
