- So here it is people the second part of a two part mini series documenting the life and times of the notorious scuttling gangs of Salford &
Manchester!
The scuttlers were gangs of young people, both male and female, that menaced the streets of Manchester and Salford towards the end of the nineteenth century.
The had a specific way of dressing, often including brass tipped clogs, distinctive scarves and bell bottomed trousers, they carried weapons, which included belts, knives and guns and sported colourful names. Large-scale street battles or “scuttles” took place amongst the groups, and sometimes the numbers involved swelled to hundreds.

Wow…absolutely unbelievable..the most amazing video I’ve seen, the research, the filming, the back drop pictures, the presentation and editing..a very emotional look back at the Scuttler gangs of Manchester..you deserve all the credit you get for this video…the work you put into is amazing 🐒
Thanks so much dad! Couldn’t have done it without you 🙏🏼 x
Couldn’t agree more! It made me cry, you saw the human side to them, the feelings they had and the hardships that drove them to the life they lived. Top notch! I could watch these videos all day long. Absolutely fantastic! I say it every time but….. these should be shown in schools across Manchester!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant hey Steve, top drawer 1👏👏
Another quality production. This channel deserves so much more recognition.
Excellent! Been waiting for this all week!! 😃
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Absolutely brilliantly put together Ant, you should be proud of yourself for this one fella. 👍
Another good story of the scuttlers mate well put together weldone 👍
Glad you enjoyed it pal thank you 👍🏼😊
@@daftmonkey7296 your welcome mate think I've told you I got the angel meadow book 👍
Such a great contribution in the history of the final chapter in the closure of this film,as always your one film creator that keeps your knuckles gripped big respect ant ❤📸😎
Thanks so much mate! Really glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Anthony, this one is brilliant too. My Grandad, Dick (/Richard) Huzzie was born in 1886, and according to family legend, had been a bit of a tear-away in his early years. But he apparently found an outlet as a football player for the „Hanky Park“ Westcoat tearers. Did an apprenticeship, and got what passed for a decent job at that time. He was a great, kind man in my early life, having had the great good fortune to meet and get married to my wonderful Nanna, Kate (Kathleen) nee Moran. The ferocious naked greed-driven infliction of missery and expoitation on the workers in Salford and Manchester by the totally amoral factory owners and export merchants was pure evil. It took an enormous amount of moral strength for any of their victims to come through that with integrity. The survivors were much better people than their exploiters. I'm proud of my Salford worker origins. Although I have had a soft life compared to theirs. They are still my people. Thank you for your lifeline to my roots. You're a good'un.
Looking forward to this
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy 🙏🏼
Been looking forward to part 2 of the scuttlers story and I wasn't disappointed. Cheers DM 👍
excellent nuff said
🙏🏼🙏🏼thank you so much
Absolutely amazing ❤ I thought Lowry was my favourite but this has overtaken that now. Your story telling on this was 10/10 so talented and so proud of you for staying sane the last few months whilst you have been working on this xxx
Sacred Heart! As if those poor people living in that God-forsaken place didn't have it bad enough with the appalling poverty and conditions, they had to live in fear of feral psychopaths like that hallion Burgess and his cohorts roaming the streets. But in spite of my growing horror watching this incredible video, I have to agree with you that so much of the brutality and cruelty was down to the environment. I was reminded of a line in one of Morrissey's lyrics; "see the life I've had, can make a good man bad..."
I'm going to re-watch both parts of your excellent work with a few mates and a few beers! Thank you Anthony.
Once again another brilliant informative video. These are TV quality mate, well researched and expertly presented. You do have a knack for creating the right mood and atmosphere around your documentaries. Think I'm going to watch them both again. Cheers Ant.
That’s very kind of you Zarmer! That’s made my dad! 🙏🏼
Brilliantly put together DM! Such a brutal time to be alive back in the day and I would not have liked to have crossed path with the residents of Angel Meadow! Cheers for the shout-out too! Not that you need too 🙂
As for Henry, `a beautiful memory left behind' - definately a memory, but 'beautiful' . It's not what I would think those he terrorised would say.
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 it’s really fascinating all that history and you’ve well documented it
@@olgajama thank you so much 👍🏼
Excellent 👏🏼 nice one Anthony. Gonna read the Angel Meadow book again soon, your video is like the book coming to life, makes me wanna get stuck in once again! Thanks for making such great videos although I never want them to end! 😁 xx
Aww great stuff Tina! Excellent selection of book! It blew me away! Thanks for watching, it means a lot 👍🏼
Wow you actually found Henry Burgess grave well done
We sure did! I couldn’t believe it 😮💨
@@daftmonkey7296 how lucky was that
Absolutely main TV channel quality. See you on BBC 4 very soon I hope. You cannot beat local history. Keep up the excellent work.
thanks you so much mate! such a flattering comment! I really appreciate that!
American here.... Edge of my seat!!! Great story telling ⚓🌹⚓
Glad you enjoyed it thank you!
Brilliant once again ❤❤❤❤❤
May all R.I.P of the very hard yesterday's . thank you for your great video work mate
We’ve been looking forward to this. Magnificent video as usual. Can’t believe he only got 12 months! There used to be a saying when we was growing up as kids. Whenever we was messing about as kids running in and out. We used to get “Stop Skuttling about” wonder if that’s where it came from.
WOW absolutely brilliant, your talent is next to none you really need to be given your own documentary, your research, narration, filming the whole presentation is so enthralling, you really have the talentof making us feel part of the story, can imagine it so clear with your descriptions. Bravo Well done DM..your time has yet to come x Vonne x
Aww thanks so Yvonne! Really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Best one yet
Oh wow! Thank you so much Sheila! That means a lot 🙏🏼
Great second installment Anthony. Definitely some other worldly stuff going on in how you found Henry's grave.
One thing that struck me is the word Scuttle meaning brief fight. The word has obviously evolved into the word Scuffle.
Thanks again mate, quality content. 👍
Yeah my thoughts too mate. It must have came from that originally. Thanks so mate for watching the video
@@daftmonkey7296 no problem pal 👌
These doccos along with your commentary are above and beyond professional and so way better than anything academics could present. Your part of the Social and economic environment that we are all from. You make your commentary from the inside. It's like you are talking about brothers uncles and cousins, which in a way you are. Your presentation makes me feel I am home and not a world away from my roots. Tony Robinson nor any other television presenter could convey the story of the people of Manchester and Salford with the same soul as you do
That honestly really does mean the world to me! I feel deeply about The people I speak about as I have studied them for so long. I have nothing but admiration for the people who graced the streets before us. Thank you so much for the kind comment mate. I really do appreciate that! oh and sorry for the late reply :) take care
Absolutely outstanding work Ant. Really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this, and all your videos. They're getting better and better. Superb 👍👍👍
Seriously mate, this was absolutely amazing and tragic 💔
The desperation of just getting by in those days is unimaginable and I can understand why the scuttlers did what they did. Extreme hardship makes you do things that you wouldn’t normally do. The music at the end was genius!!!! It was so haunting and massively makes you reflect on life as it is today and how desperate it would have been then 😢
Fantastic vid Anthony. Coz I've read the book by Dean Kirby I knew a bit about Henry Burgess but when u discovered he lived into his 60's that left me speechless. Average male age lifespan those days in Angel Meadow was only in the mid late 20's. I'd love to know his life story for his final 30 years. So true about the lads club turning things around. I could go on. Absolutely banger of Scuttler series. Ps. Jusrlt remembered u live in Marple, On the Macc canal tomorrow with 5 lads from IOM...prob in Marple on Tues if fancy a swift...cheers
You are so talented the way you bring these stories back to life . You put in a lot of of reach and information. You can't take everything in the first time of watching them . Thank you
Wow, thank you so much for watching Sue!
Outstanding series, Outstanding altogether. Very well done. Young documentary maker of the decade without a doubt. P.s glad to see old scarface... Amazing work fella 👏
Haha cheers mate! I’d love to find more info about scareface Alf. Such an interesting character
A Masterpiece Mr.🐒. Solid work as always, I can only echo what your Proud Dad said and add this. I loved your editorial at the end reflecting on their 'lot' and being a product of the times they lived in it was just great. I must mention the music under your narration mate. An excellent and fitting version of "Running up that hill" it was a great ending. Thank you to all involved in putting this series together. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽♥️
thanks so much mate and sorry for the late reply. had a bit of a break of YT the last week or so. haha I'm glad someone recognised the music ! excellently spotted! take care paddy!
@@daftmonkey7296 You deserve a break mate. Yeah I'm a fan of Kate but it took me a minute to work out it was her. Cheers as always pal.
@@Paddy_Roche haha! It’s a beautiful song isn’t it and she’s a legend! I’ve got another song coming up in the next one… I wonder if you can work out what it is 😁 here’s a clue = 😠 🌎….
@@daftmonkey7296 The Tears for Fears version i hope. Ahaha
@@Paddy_Roche 😂
Well done on another fabulous upload ,the research and the hard work you put in is first class 👏💯 the respect you give to all involved is a a credit to you ,your family and Manchester 🦋 we are made to feel that we are their in the crowd watching and share in the emotions of the situation 😶🌫️as my partner says who grew up in Peckham in the 70's it was dog eat dog and survival of the fittest 🙄(he has sub to your channel also🙂 )thank you so much and look forward to your next one 💥❤️🔥🥰
Wow what a great social local history lesson 👏 thank you xx
Thanks so much Julie. Really glad you enjoyed it
Just subscribed to your channel
Thank you so much Gillian! I hope you enjoy the content 🙏🏼
@Daft Monkey I've been watching your videos for a while and never subscribed I think the scuttlers did it . I used to live in Salford and it may get a facelift every so often but Salford is Salford
Absolutely fantastic video! I love the way you bring these real life characters to life. Can’t wait to see what you bring to us next! Well done 👏👏👏👏
Totally, World Class mate, loved every minuet of it, had me gripped throughout, Great job
Thank you so much Ian! Means a lot that you enjoyed it mate 👍🏼
Brilliant look forward to the next one. Cheers👍
Another excellent video Ant. Nice one mate 👍
Should be on the tv best stuff ive watched
Thank you so much! Thats very kind of you to say ⭐️
An excellent second part brought to life with video clips, old photos, maps and atmospheric music.
I still haven’t made it to Angel Meadow yet, but do feel it’s one place everybody from Manchester, and the surrounding area, should visit.
Thanks so much mate! Yeah it’s definitely worth the trip just to embrace the atmosphere around that area. Take care pal and thanks again 👍🏼
Brilliant video mate. I wonder if there are any of there relatives still living in the area?
Great job with the editing and research as usual 👍🏻 good to see the Chanel growing and getting the recognition you deserve 🐒
Thank you so much Ian! It seems to be picking up lately, I must be doing something right 😂👍🏼
Facinating storys thanks!
Awesome--what a great look into another world. thanks.
Brilliant
Yes great video and very well put together.loved it and cant wait for your next upload.ATB
Top notch, absolutely top notch, your research and video editing is excellent DM. Brilliant, really enjoyed that one. 👍
Much appreciated Eddie! Thank you so much mate 👍🏼
Outstanding, again. I do hope you send these videos to tv execs. You have such an incredible talent. P.s the piano version of running up that hill was the perfect ending
Sorted mate. Brilliant. Both mine and my wife’s family have history in those streets. My wife has been researching it she’ll love this video.
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you can connect with the video! 👍🏼
Once again mate a really amazing video. it's strange or maybe not! how Henry even from beyond the grave was determined to be found and hit the spotlight one last time. Thank you keep up the good work.
Hi Anthony, another brilliant video. Very well done, not missed a single one yet. You are setting yourself a very high bar with each one you produce. Stunning work and well researched.
Absolutely brilliant, what a life they lead, you’re spot on with the knife crimes of today.
Another absolutely brilliant video! You bring us great local history but, you also bring us the emotional side as well. We really feel for these people, their lives and struggles to just basically exist. Your videos are an event now and I can't wait for the next one! 👍
👏👏👏👏 brilliant pal well worth the wait you are one talented lad, you put so much time and effort into your vlogs witch shows every time. Thank you, please keep them coming can’t wait for the next one. 👍
Absolutely amazing !!
So exciting to watch these videos which are so well informed well planned researched and draw us in to the history
It highlights how the nature nurture effects kids born into poverty and lacking love and the basic needs can map out the path taken
Really enjoyed them.
My paternal Gt. grandparents both sides lived on St Michaels place and raised many children This gives me some insight into the conditions and violent atmosphere that existed back then
Thank you so much I look forward to your next subject !! x
Well done..brings back a load of memories.
Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video 👍
Top drawer as always, can't wait for your next video.
Thank you! Cheers!
Top class video again. Loved this 2 part mini series! This wouldn't look out of place on TV mate! Keep up the hard work, it's paying off!
thanks so much mate and really sorry for the late reply. I've not really been on YT that much to be fair. Thanks as per for taking the time out to watch it buddy!
Brilliant Videos Anthony 👍👍
thanks a lot mate!
Brilliant final part,keep on doing these great videos
This is currently my Fav TH-cam channel, I'm glad I came acrossed it. All the best from Florida. 👍🇺🇸🗽🇬🇧👍
Aww thank you Juston! So happy you found the channel! ❤️🇺🇸 🇬🇧
@@daftmonkey7296 👍
Van por buen camino cuando se trata de recrear hechos que sucedieron en el pasado y los personajes que formaron parte de eso. Al final del día, es un trabajo bien hecho.
Muchas gracias amigo✌🏼🙏🏼
Brilliant Anthony …..said it before your work should be on tv ……one of your best, sad it’s finished …keep up the good work and look forward to your next vid.x
Wow wow wow all.i cam say is thank you please.keep.the.videos coming 👏 🙏 ❤️ loved.this and I was super. Excited 😊 🤗
Excellent. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. You prompted me to do some research on Henry Burgess to find he was orphaned before he was 10. Probably raised by his big sister Ellen Philbin and fell into gangs. Very much a real life Oliver Twist scenario. They had little chance and, as you say, it's worrying to see kids with absent parents today, gangs and no regard for authority and history repeating. Great work.
Fantastic video , we always enjoy your videos , so there always worth the wait coz u put so much effort into them..
Cant wait to see what u do next
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well presented, and narrated. X
Thanks so much Julie 👍🏼
Awesome video!!
Bravo mate, brilliantly done, I've enjoyed all of them. Looking forward to more. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Wayne ! 👍🏼
It's always such a pleasure watching you bring all these characters and places back to life. They were dark times and you showed that in your videos Ant. Really appreciate how much time and effort you've spent on putting these historical facts together for us all to learn about it. Thank you so much xxx
That means a lot Gaynor. And it’s all worth it when get enjoyment out of them. Thanks so much for taking the time out to watch it and show an interest! 👍🏼💫
thanks DM, this was a truly fascinating series
Thank you so much. I’m really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
I love all your videos keep them coming. They were really hard times and so sad. Very well researched, very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much Marilyn! 🙏🏼
Mate 👏👏👏 there's no words, that was MINT
Thanks so much mate 🙏🏼👍🏼
Like you say ,people born into a different environment could of had such a different life-Love the vids you make -Keep them coming 💙👍🏼
Thanks ,brilliantly filmed and presented and directed, you must be an x media student of some respect. Loved your vids .
Thanks so much mate! No, just a lad from a council estate haha. Never had any lessons it editing. About 4 years ago I barely used a computer and didn’t have a clue about editing at all. Just kept at it until I could do it. Thanks so much for watching mate. Really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Great stuff always pop back every few months to see what has been uploaded. Keep up the good work. May have already suggested previously always been interested in italian ancoats.

Thanks a lot mark. Much appreciated mate. It’s worth all the hours when people like yourself enjoy them. Cheers for the support mate 👍🏼
That was very enjoyable and part of that for me was because of the way it was shot . To me your videos are so good on the eye and are matched perfectly by your choice of music . I could go on but many thanks for what you do and in my opinion you do do it so well . Cheers our kid .
Thanks a lot Ian. Some kind words there that I really appreciate. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks once again 🙏🏼👍🏼

wow what can i say amazing video thank you
i never comment on videos but i had to say well done and thankyou,i enjoyed this so much and i may of learned a little from it .again well done
Thank you so much Christian! That honestly means a lot 🙏🏼
Other things scuttlers got up to were 'bonneting' (jostling young ladies and knocking off their hats - often whilst using rude language), attending music halls such as The Cass in large numbers to spoil the show for everyone else and to fight, and going to more refined outer suburbs purely to run riot and then return home.
Sunday evenings were when boys and girls paraded up and down Oldham Rd, Salford Crescent etc in their best togs. Scuttlers would converge on them and cause trouble verbally and physically. 'Going Crescenting' referred to Salford.
But for every scuttler there were hundreds of thousands of good, peaceful lads and lasses. Female scuttlers existed too in smaller numbers, as well as the lasses who hung onto the male variety.
Horrible and wonderful, cheers for this!
I work next to weaste cemetery on Kansas avenue, might pop down on my lunch, great vid Ant. 👍
You should! I'm thinking of knocking up a short little video just to throw on the channel. Very interesting mate
awesome mate
Thanks Luke!
Very interesting young fella,your right about the knife crime nowadays young people need a diversion, thank you for the history lesson, by the way I’ve been watching some of Days of horror videos with Chris & Vicky, they are also just as fascinating, thanks guys 😊
Thanks so much Cheryl! I really do appreciate that ⭐️
Love the music at the end…😉
🔥💫
bloody hell mate thats the best video i have seen that you have done so far brilliantly put together the history is amazing sadly we have come full circle and history seems to be repeating itself through poverty not the poverty of those in Victorian Manchester but it seems to be getting closer every year poor housing conditions and so on we are going backwards, iam sorry to say but wow that was full on, well done mate .
Thanks so much Martin for such a kind comment! I really do appreciate that!
