My dad used to frequent this old Church Inn pub. Next to it used to be the Essoldo cinema.. known as the the Scala.. Pendleton Church.my mum and dad got married plus my two sisters and myself. It is so sad to see these beautiful old buildings with such character and replaced with a sterile square box type building.. without a heart or soul.. in the days when we had the old houses and pubs, they may have been slums, but we had communities and caring neighbours. Nowadays, most people don't know their neighbours and sometimes it is best not to know them. Before Salford and the surrounding areas were smashed and rebuilt, we had nothing but we had a caring community and pride.. proud to be British and patriotic. Somehow, a lot of these feelings have disappeared.. I look at these pictures and videos with nostalgia from the 40's to 60's and feel a sense of loss. Thank you for your contribution and the revisiting memories..💖🥰
Heartbreaking to see this. I have run pubs for the last 30 odd years, traditional ones that I have run in the old fashioned way, no bandits, no swearing, no trouble. I have seen people celebrate every significant occasion you can imagine over the years. I witnessed joy, sorrow and every emotion in-between and one by one they are being taken away from us. I recently retired and remember one last lonely night when everyone had gone home and I swear I could literally hear the pub breathe. That pub had its own soul, it was part of me and I was part of it and I miss it terribly.
Such an interesting comment mate and I echo your words. They are the heartbeat of many a community sadly being ripped away from people. They are much more than a pub. They bring people together of all ages and are the backbone to communities. It’s so wrong what they are doing to the working class pub. They really do have a soul. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I`m 57 and dying of cancer and i still sit and watch how much everything changes....some for the better, but not all. I`m born and bred Carlisle, but my dad and his family are all Mancunians.
You are doing a fantastic job in recording and telling the story of these historic landmarks that are sadly being erased from our Manchester landscape in large numbers. It seems they want to obliterate our working class heritage on every level. Salford is such an important part of that heritage and the story of our Industrial Revolution, it was the city of grafters! They worked and toiled and at the end of the day, they spent their hard-earned money in pubs like this. It was indeed a community, a community of people and we should not forget them! I'm sure the Church Inn still had an important part to play in the community of today, but sadly the owners didn't. Just such a shame another piece of Salford's history is lost to the wrecking ball.
The Church Inn is where I had me first legal drink in, I also worked right next door to the Inn, it was also my fathers watering hole, some once posted a shot of out of hours drinking and my father was in the photo along with the landlord and also another customer. great little pub tht has followed all the others.
wow! some very nostalgic memories for you then Edward. It really is a terrible act, that the powers that be can do such a heartless thing. Money is behind the whole thing I think mate. thanks for watching and commenting. take care :)
This is why your vlogs are so poignant and important Antony. I absolutely love learning about the North, I'm from Preston so not too far removed, and Northern history is so enjoyable for me to watch. Keep those memories alive xx
Thank you so much that really does mean a lot to me. You are spot on, northern history is so enjoyable and so important to the development of the city Manchester. Thanks once again ⭐️👍🏼
I'm not a Salfordian not even a northerner but have lived up this way since 1971. It is sad to see these pubs go when they have Bern part of the skyline for so long. Only pub I went in in Salford was the Maypole which I think is still standing but closed. Thank you for filming these memories though for the people who remember them. You're a good thoughtful lad Ant xxx
Thanks for watching Gaynor. Yeah the maypole is standing but closed and now a crumbling, I’ll managed apartment block. Such a shame. This pub is literally two seconds away from the maypole. Back in the day, great places. Sad how times have changed. Thank you for watching and take care 👍🏼⭐️🐒
It breaks my heart to see old pubs closing down. Soldiers during and after the various wars and battles sat in these pubs recounting days gone by. If ghosts exist, pubs will be full of them.
That was sad to watch. So much is reduced to dust and callously swept aside with no regard for the important things that a community holds dear to it's heart. All in the pursuit of "progress". And MONEY! Sickening. 😔
I couldn't agree with you more Anthony. I don't know what the agenda is but all local councils seem determined to erase these historic pubs from the map. It's almost criminal
Cheers mate, absolutely! I reckon there’s a very deep rooted place to cleanse the area are centralise the drinking culture to Manchester in an aim to hike up the prices for beer and food etc. It’s all money related I reckon mate. Sad
So sad, it’s the same in our village/town it’s gone from 11 pubs to now only 4 and there struggling to make ends meet. It’s a familiar sight up and down the country.😢
Slowly but surely the government’s getting rid of all pubs like this, Makes me sick seeing part of England’s fabric disappearing at a rapid rate! Like you said, everything’s being centralised to the city centre’s where the prices are extortionate and the average Joe cannot afford the prices. They want the majority of people to be kept at home while drinking beer from the big supermarkets, sad future lies ahead!
I have been putting off watching that video as I new it would be sad, so many of our pubs here in Bristol have also gone in the last 10 or 15 years and it’s the same in most parts of the country ☹️ and as you said city centre bars are not for all of us. My favourite pub the Downed Tavern has been closed since 2020 and I am constantly hoping to see it reopen as it always was a proper pub with a singer on weekends and not some gastro or earthy kind of place.
Great video Anthony. Now that is just sad. Speaking from a civil engineering point of view, I often wonder about city planners, whether they do enough to keep old historical or buildings with character around. This happens a lot here here in CA. Too often city planners make grandiose plans for a "master planned" community and write-off places like this, instead of trying to upgrade and incorporate it into the redeveloped area. Some cities get it right, rezoning an area so older buildings can be repurposed into something new like the building I was in the other day in Fullerton which began life as a car dealership.
Thanks for watching and your point of view. That really does make me see things from another angle. It’s really sad how quickly the landscape of this area is changing mate. History being erased on a daily basis. It’s so sad mate. Thanks once again for watching Paul. Much appreciate buddy!👍🏼
Too sad mate, its heartbreaking, I used to do a bit of a crawl round these parts, the Church, Railway, the Maypole( highest bar in UK at one time). Never went in Beehive but used to go in the Old House being a Joseph Holt fan, great vid mate, but sad, cheers pal
Oh my god carnt believe it's down it's so sad to bulldoze buildings like that at least they could of done it up like they do to other pubs it's such a shame it's gone good video m8 thanks for the memories 👍
Great that your highlighting iconic landmarks in Manchester ant, people like yourself that are important as film makers .... Great work fella best wishes John 💖
Just watched this video with the same sadness! but also anger! we seen these places as somewhere that we could meet friends after a hard day / week at work. Somewhere we could afford to hold wedding receptions christenings and wakes.
Sad mate I'm not from Salford so can't comment on this pub but I imagine it was once a lively pub, modern pubs don't do anything for me they are just restraunts. What are they building on it mundane flats no. Doubt
@@daftmonkey7296 I love anything to do with Salford it's fascinating, the place doesn't seem to be the same after Ken and Paul's death, things have changed
Salford council dont help thay want to to build apartments everywhere .The people of salford do want to travel to town for a drink and socialise and pay them price Yhay have done the same with the Belmont bowling club .
went in there a few times with my hubby back in the 70s ,but our locals was the Duchy and the Beehive . i remember having to go down past a factory and across a little bridge to get to it . anyone know if theyre still around or have they gone too .
The only ones remaining in the area is The Priory and the Winston, other than that I would be the Kersal Club and the a few down Chapel Street. Sad how all these good pubs are now gone.
It's asham if the swinging pub sign frame isn't salvaged, I could easily paint a new sign for it to go to another pub or other business. Great work duck.
thanks so much mate, only short and sweet this one but highlighting something that is significant to the area. I think someone has nabbed the sign lol. some money in that lol. take care pal and thanks for watching
@@daftmonkey7296 it is mate they're killing off our culture and meeting places coz ideas of rebellion against them are thought up and put into reality in pubs and that's what they don't like nor want 🤔 😉
Go in there bro an get yourself a souvenir Its heartbreaking,,,, developers shit me,,, an what are you still doing in England Every body knows English people live in Australia.... Take care bro,,, an keep doing what your doing... Even if you just grab one brick
Indeed it's very sad how they tare these places down without a care in the world😥, they just want everyone to stay at home and be miserable that's why they've destroyed the pub businesses!🤔, personally though when I do drink these day's it's either at family get togethers, or something that I've brewed myself as booze prices are even getting phenomenal in the shops too!🙄😂✌️

No problem mate, it’s such a shame how quickly the landscape is changing… sad

Ahhhh the Last of Pendleton,including Brindleheath all gone. A once thriving industrial historical part of Dear Salford 6.

Born in Salford 1977 Hope Hospital , sad to see how Salford is changing from what i once rememberd
it sure is mate, parts of it is becoming recognisable sadly. thanks for watching mate
I remember the Esseldo cinema on the same row. Always went to the matinees with my mum. All gone now. It's very sad.

If ghosts exist, pubs will be full of them.
I totally agree Steve. I’m going live on Sunday around 6pm and the topic will be all about pubs of Salford / Manchester!
Check out the football and the plough in Swinton too. Both closed down and awaiting demolition sadly😢😢. Great work fella
shocking that mate, I used to drink in both of them... sad times
That was sad to watch. So much is reduced to dust and callously swept aside with no regard for the important things that a community holds dear to it's heart. All in the pursuit of "progress". And MONEY! Sickening. 😔
Very well put that Padraic! Greed is the root of all evil. Sad times for the pubs of the area 😔
I live in North Manchester and a few of the old pubs that have closed down have been turned into nurseries instead of being demolished
I'd sooner them do that than knock it down, its a crying shame Nicola..

Heartbreaking I can barely drive to Salford now and get my barings as to where places was x
I was christened in St James Church and my christening do was in the Church Inn
Mum and dad's wedding reception as well. Sad times
Great memories for many Haley, such a shame what’s happened to it. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Every old pub closing is a loss for the world, not just the community.
Very true that Martin!
So sad, it’s the same in our village/town it’s gone from 11 pubs to now only 4 and there struggling to make ends meet. It’s a familiar sight up and down the country.😢

Good recording bud, I've noticed this in Rochdale..if not knocked down..and if lucky converted into something else..
