When they drove up Huddersfield Road and took the sharp right turn. That's Heywood Lane, where my uncle lives now. Cannot believe how much oldham has changed, and definitely not for the better
I thought the same, also seems to start on a part of George Street you haven't been able to drive down since the 80's... Not enough resolution to make out the reg plates of some of the newer cars (at the time) sadly!
@Scott Ptolomey: It might be cos a lot of people back in the 90's had 80's cars still blending in on the rd..and there wasn't a lot of redevelopment round Oldham til around 2012/15..it retained a lot of its character..Sadly its like another world now....
Classic....before they chopped & changed it and ruined the face of Oldham forever by tarting it up and making it even more difficult to park....I was at college when this was filmed!!!!:)....
Just Sum Guy if it is 94 I was at college too!!. Started in 92, best time I think I've ever had, don't like the look of it now with those dull grey buildings, whoever designed those has no imagination.
@@enochianmagic You have to live in Oldham to understand R.J C. I have lived here since 1965 and it isn't racist to say it has changed dramatically with the influx of Indians, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Polish, Romanian and others, you are just as likely to hear foreign languages spoken as much as English and in some areas they are spoken more. It is a fact that the face of the North West has been radically altered and not always for the better.
Oldham is rubbish now it’s ruined and it’ll just keeps going downhill until things crash and burn
Life was so much better then....and mumps roundabout was so much easier to navigate my way home than it is now
Absolutely fantastic video it’s amazing to see the change from then to now such as the folk walking the streets and nice to see butterflies as it was
Mumps Bridge is long gone............
I went to school on them GM buses brings back memories
That was great, especially the unexpected trip to Austerlands then Wood Brook.

and opposite is the shortcut to Ripponden Road iirc. Used to come down that in Winter on my motorcycle - clenched bum time!
great vid! I wish it was more of the town centre and longer!
This looks earlier than 1994 the derelict Odeon Cinema is still visible on Union Street

Butterflies was there in 89. It was Froggies before that but I'm not sure when it changed.
@@nforne Before Froggies it was Romeo & Juliet’s and Baileys before that it’s soon due to be demolished now
