Gone forever, and the skyline will never look the same, great filming .

I'm so glad you were able to put some great footage of this together Colin.
Our family house was on Edward Street right out the front (back?) of Hartford Mill.
Of course, the houses and the mill have been gone a while. The chimney was the last remnant of my childhood there.
Thanks for this. Cheers!

Hartford Mill is a long ongoing project for me, there will be plenty more footage coming soon.
Thanks

I lived on Lansdowne Road, opposite Edward St. Walked up past it to Werneth Station going to work at Victoria booking office.
Well Werneth is gone and so is Hartford mill….any bets on Victoria booking office?

They've finished "improving" Manchester Victoria for now...
