Jaw dropping, raw, bare truth and historical pin points sucked me in. I came for the tragic story of Kathleen Parkinson and stayed for your gripping, informative and detailed accounts. I’m not from Manchester but your enthusiasm, storytelling ability and your reverence and respect for those living in such terrible times, is outstanding. Bloody great. Thank you, keep it all up. Happy New Year to you.
That honestly really does mean the world to me! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, I was a real big topic to cover that just kept giving and I couldn’t leave certain things out. I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel and I’ve got some incredible videos lined up for 2023! Thanks once again Sarah and take care 🙏🏼 have yourself a great new year! 🌟
This documentary is truly impressive. I recall first walking into Angel Meadow when I first joined the Mancheste City Police in 1962. I was told then of its tragic history and even then one could feel the haunted spirits of those poor souls. At that time (1963) the area was not as it is today and was still a virtual slum area. Early in my police career I learned of the legendary Jerome Caminada and to this day within the ranks of retired Manchester police officers there exists an organisation known as The Caminada Society. The most celebrated life president of that society was the late Charles Horan the ex head of Manchester CID and later Assistant Chief Constable of GMP. He was often compared to Caminada and in my opinion was another legend under whom it was once my honour to serve. Anyhow this video is a brilliant piece of work showing both dedication and empathy keep up the good work mate.
Wow, what can I say Mike. What a very nice and enlightening comment. You really have painted a picture for me there. I can imagine the area still having the echos of the old original slum, obviously now transformed. I would have loved to have seen it back then. People think I am mad when I say it but I truly would have loved to take a glimpse of how it used to be. Jerome Caminada was a very honourable man and I am so glad to know his legacy within the force is still a blueprint so to speak of proper detective work. Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate that. Take care.
Great stuff. Entranced all the way through without a break. A brilliant piece of Victorian journalism. Keep producing this excellent work of the history of Manchester.
Wow what a story! And finding his name like that was next level, it shows you how much is still hidden around us .. agree with you about the headstones especially with the amount of investment in the area, the park is big enough to have them on display as part of a historical & educational memorial , imagine seeing those peoples names and the stories that would come from it, fingers crossed one day 🤞 well done mate this was very good 💥💥💯💯👊
Thanks for watching Danny, it really is a hidden gem. I think the park is nice and I understand it has to move in but given it’s history I think it could be a really unique park, that Is full of artefacts from our past and a place to embrace our history and heritage and remind us where we came from and what the city was once like. I think it would attract a wider audience. There would be No other park like it. A real unique place! 💯
@@daftmonkey7296 spot on mate! And it's got to happen soon otherwise with more tall buildings going up around it, it will fall into darkness and eventually forgotten and built over, just like the remnants of the Sunday school, grafitied and used as a bin its embarrassing, it's like the powers that be don't want certain era's to even be remembered or acknowledged it's so sad 🤬🤬😣😣
Absolutely brilliant coverage of are peoples history and struggles just found a very distant relative lived in little Ireland came from Ireland early 1800s your videos are fantasy
Fabulous job. So sad about headstones . I've seen pathways in churches made from them. Sadly after 100yrs they can move them & also reuse graves if fees are not met. But a really interesting story.
It really is a shame isn’t it Diane! These people actually had lives… it’s heartbreaking! Great job on the video you shared before to! It was amazing 👍🏼⭐️
Wow, where to start! This was brilliant. Loved it for many different reasons. My love of the history of Angel Meadow, knowing & having walked those streets myself numerous times and just a love of your work in general. I located Jerome Caminada's headstone myself during lockdown when I decided to take on finding as many as I could (although I keep meaning to go back and find your 'Angel of the Meadow). I have read Deans book and attended his launch night a good few years ago, fantastic read and with his Irish heritage, introduced him to Martin Logan of Irish TV on which he then did a spot (as with you with you Irish Manchester Video). Great story on how he actually stood in the ruins of his ancestors cellar before it became a car park near Victoria station.. Agree with you on the headstones, they could be used differently as maybe in Chorlton Green where they form a path on the location of the old original church, at least they can be seen and not forgotten. What a wonderful find with the name engraving, you'll have to go back with a thinner sheet of paper and maybe some chalk or charcoal. St Marys Church, or the 'Hidden Gem', that by the way is no longer hidden, is a beautiful church. One of the oldest in Manchester its wonderful that it survived where others perished. Your knowledge and presentation is spot on as always, great edits, information and sound. Detailed research invaluable and your spoken word is always down to earth genuine emotion. Think this is my fav of yours to date. Well done, you excelled once again. Look forward to the next x
WOW! Thanks so much Anne-Marie! you're worlds really do mean the world to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and understand each element introduced into the video. I never intended it to be as long but the story kept evolving and it had to be done. Deans books is incredible as you mentioned and his level of writing is impeccable! he delved so deep into the daily life of the residents of angel meadow, it almost feels like I was there myself. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks so much for the kind words, they really do mean so much to me! take care x
Another GREAT story I'm so happy you mentioned The Hidden Gem my favorite church inside It is like being in heaven it's beautiful my mam was christened there more than a 100 years ago thank you.
It’s a 10/10 from me pal, another absolutely brilliant vlog you have a true talent 👌. I’m going to go and have a look this weekend at Angel Meadow and the engraving, keep it up pal 👍👌
Another belter this one 👍 And as for the engraving on the wall, that was something else! If I were you, I'd try again with the charcoal rubbing and if you get a good copy, frame it! That is the very essence of history right there.
Oh wow ..that was brilliant, captivating it was like being taken back to the Victorian times…your knowledge and research is fantastic..everything about it I loved..8 think it’s your best yet ..gotta keep theses vids coming DM 🐒
Anthony what a great award winning video this should be, you are a credit to our great city. Now, I can see why the headstones have been disrespected in this way! it is a sign from the city council and local government to say '' we won '' and you mean nothing to us. These stones should never have been covered up or used this way, and they should bow their heads in shame and guilt. Keep doing this work mate and we will support you always.
Thanks so much Harry, that's very kind of you and I totally agree with you. these people had lives and existed. they lived and died on Angel Meadow for their headstone to be disrespected like that is unforgivable. Thanks once again mate for taking the time out to watch the video. im so glad you enjoyed it. take care
@@daftmonkey7296 There is an interesting theory regarding the '' Fluer de lis '' ie: the emblem of the Bee. Apparently the Fluer de lis was used to brand slaves back in the day! and what is the Manchester symbol?. Weird
That was so good I watched it twice, the delivery of the story was superb, thank you. I totally agree with you about the disrespect of using the headstones as edgings, just awful, they could've put them somewhere in the park where people could see them
Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch the video! I really do appreciate it. Yeah, I agree mate, they should definitely have been put in a better place so people can pay respects and appreciate what what there before them. Thanks once again and take care 👍🏼🐒
I wonder if Bob Horridge was born in the dwellings I used to live in as a kid at the top of Strangeways? Sends a tingle down my spine... The video of you on the bridge looking back at Strangeways also had the church, St Chads where I went to school.. very nostalgic.
As usual, great production values make your videos stand out. Don't want to repeat what others have said here so I'll simply say thanks mate! You're bloody good at what you do.
I really enjoyed this video Ant. Certainly brings it home what life was like in Victorian times. The name Horridge on the bridge is a great find and all the history of Angel Meadow makes me realise that I'm thankful I wasn't born in those times. You have a way with words and bring these stories to life....Well done xx
Thank you so much that’s really kind Gaynor. It makes it worth all the hours of research and editing when people like yourself enjoy the video. Thanks so much ⭐️
Absolutely brilliant Ant, loved every minute of it, you've definitely got a special talent, don't ever stop educating and entertaining us, thank you 💯👍✌
I was born and bred in East London but I have a passion for social history. Quite by chance, your video of the murder of Kathleen Parkinson came up on my TH-cam recommendations. I watched it and was captivated by your video. Quite by chance, when reading about Victorian social history during the Industrial Revolution during the middle of last year, I bought the book that you that you recommend in your notes before even coming across your channel. I was captivated by the history of Angel Meadow. The poverty, the tragedies that occured; it was, as you say, a page turner. I believe that the church that you visited in this video also has a mention. William Blake, the poet who penned the words of the extremely well known anthem "Jerusalem" you will recognise the hymn as it starts, "And did those feet in ancient times..." it is usually sung at important celebrations, viewed to be extremely Patriotic. Many people don't realise that Willliam Blake used his powerful poetry and writing skills to talk of the poverty, the under classes, the abuses of workers who were factory fodder and many other social comments. Within that hymn Jerusalem, he refers to the "Dark satanic mills." By doing so, he was talking about the mills, making a social statement about how Great Britain had fallen from it's glorious past. Although now sung with pride, the poem was extremely controversial in its time. I do have to say that having watched many of your videos now, (I am working through them all) you are extremely talented. Your retelling of history and events, your pride in Manchester and Salford is evident. Your narration is fantastic, as are your video graphics and you have me captivated and spellbound with each video. I would like to say to you, congratulations upon such hard work, the love that clearly goes into each video, along with your detailed accurate narration is the best that I have seen. I wish you every success with your channel and hope that it grows, gaining the recognition that it truly deserves. Thank you for bringing your history alive. One very impressed social change academic!
Brilliant Anthony, I wish u put this video out last week I was in angel meadow on Sat. Had 2 hours to kill in Manchester, I was on that bridge. That church I've passed many a time ,I'll defo go in next time, it's fabulous. Great story, 2 similar men but chose different paths. This is one outstanding video pal. 👏 👏 👏 ps ( I reviewed the Marble Arch😊) well done pal
Aw, now way mate! I would have met up for a pint with you If I'd have know. Amazing stuff slurp! the past really does intrigue me, especially when you see the remnants that are left behind! Can't wait to see the Marble Arch vid, ill keep my eyes peeled mate :)
Wow...that was so fascinating...you are very talented at telling the story...that was brilliant...The Hidden Gem is gorgeous...I used to go in there with My Dear Mam...Bless her soul.Keep the amazing videos coming...you have a great talent.
@@helengallagher4165 aww thank so much Helen. Thats really kind of you to say. Yeah, the hidden gem is something else isn’t it and so much better in real life. The camera doesn’t do it any justice really. Thanks once again 👍🏼⭐️
Honestly, I was gripped from the minute I started watching!!!! The names on the wall aswell are just amazing. This dark history of Manchester is fascinating and I read about it all the time. Very very well put together, thoroughly enjoyed it 10/10 👌
Aw thanks a lot! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! That one little place in Manchester has so much to answer for haha! Thanks for taking the time out to watch the video 🌟
@@daftmonkey7296 me and my little lad always go to town and I take him to places and tell him the history etc. He loves it which makes me smile 😊 Stockport is an interesting place aswell matey… I’ve recently done the old workhouse and went back in the daytime for an explore. What a place!!!
Fabulous anthony! Addicted to the area myself having ancestors from there. Find it shocking how the history seems to be vanishing without even a nod to it in the soul less new builds. I got Dean's book a while ago and couldnt put it down so Dean......a part 2 please. 😃
Thank you for this beautiful video. If you want to see a bit of my history, look up Ådalen -31... Military killing civilians in Sweden in 1931. Fascinating and some of my relatives were there.
Great stuff mate , the places you filmed was my playground in the 50s it brought back some memories, next to the bridge with the carving of Horridge was a blacksmiths I remember the ragboners horses being shoed We used to play football on the burial flags. We would raid Smithfield market. to get our vitamin C. and sit on the grassy bank eating our ill gotten goodies overlooking the Meadow. with lovey evening sunsets we could see Strangeways in the distance over Red Bank. The stink of the boneworks and smell of the tobacco works Happy days with the gang Paddy , George, Eugene, Slogger .Plaz, Danny , Joe. and Penny....
Wow! You’ve really painted a picture there mate! I could almost imagine it myself! Amazing stuff!! Thanks for taking the time out watch the video and also leaving a comment. 👍🏼💯
Brilliantly done Angel meadow became a great interest to me passing through the gardens to work at the co-op and watching the development of the the new co-operative building
Thanks a lot mate. It’s been transformed in areas over the past few years. Much more digging going on at the minute too. Thanks so much for watching and taking an interest mate 👍🏼
Another wonderful look into the characters, poverty & history of our city, passionately & respectfully narrated by you, this is only my third video of yours, looking forward to the rest, thank you so much.
Another superb documentary, about the dark murky side of Manchester’s poverty stricken communities, and the misery they had to endure. X ps….. try doing the stencils with wax crayons, they pick up the patterns, and writing better. X
@@louisemerriman1079 I literally couldn’t edit a thing up till about 3 years ago? I just kept at it louise. And I don’t have many friends either so I have a lot of free time haha!
Wow 10/10 again! I always learn something new with your videos. Now the name "Horridge" will be forever in my mind. Excellent video mate. Love to follow you on your journey.
Absolutely brilliant as per usual 👌 I agree with you, about the headstone’s around the seating area at Angel Meadow it seems disrespectful or is it shown as a remembrance of those who have been layed to rest there !!! You think there would have been a monument there to represent the hard working people who worked in the mills, it’s very sad 😞. Thankyou for your vlog, I love watching your videos, you definitely open our eyes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Goodness - Your enthusiasm in this story got me hooked! Thanks for bringing us round the haunts of these two. I think you will end up becoming a famous film maker!
Brilliant - had my attention from beginning to end. Well done kiddo - perfect production and well researched. I felt quite emotional when you described the story regarding headstones in Angel Park........ Hope all is well with you and family. Thanks for sharing. X
I've had a night of no sleep and your documentaries on the scuttlers, Bob Horridge and high peak mysteries kept me company. I'm your latest follower - and an ex employee of Salford Magistrates as it was...thankyou SO much! Tremendous viewing x
Hi there mate i no this is 2years ago I inn joining your Video work mate i love the History of the ENGLAND its full of rich history that very day people would no won't happen in old bad days mate Keep up your great video work mate
Absolutely amazing DM so much history in and around Angel Meadow. To also find Horridge name etched in stone gives you the sense that he still walks the streets. The Church was a site of beauty where his words would echoed from the walls. Thank you Ant.
Thanks a lot mate for checking out the video! Really glad you enjoyed it. I couldn’t agree more with you. It’s a surreal feeling know these people walked the same streets as us today. Take care buddy 👍🏼
Haha, aw cheers mate! That’s much appreciated mate. Dean Kirby’s work is pivotal to the history of Manchester and what he had done in regard to the preservation of the past is unbelievable. Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate it 👍🏼
Brilliant ♥ Ant, you bring that time to life, you can never cover history of Angel Meadow and the surrounding areas, and stories enough, so interesting x
Just when I thought you couldn't get any better . You've smashed it with this one . Just brilliant one of your best I think 🤘😎👌 still like Fred dibnah though 😜
Thanks a lot mate! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It was a bugger to edit. Drove me insane at times but I’m glad it done and it seems to have gone down well 👍🏼
Another great video. Absolutely agree about the headstones, very disrespectful in my opinion, they should be displayed, maybe with a rose garden around them.
Superb, Anthony. Superb. Caminada was truly the father of what became the CID, and Horridge pre-dated the scuttlers by decades. I'm with you on the point of history coming up through the bricks and cobbles, mate. We're all hoping the graffiti is Bob H himself, but I'm not 100%. The other names such as Bad Guy or Dale weren't prevalent at the time, and it's by no means certain gang members advertised their presence that way, whilst being constantly on the run. Marking out territory was word of mouth back then, and unwritten understanding. St Michael's Flags was used by local kids as a playground back in the day. They probably giggled about the inhabitants below and tried to scare each other.....whilst playing tag and football.
All your work is amazing in my opinion, but you have out done yourself with this one DM, fantastic work. well researched and put onto film. Well done and cheers.
Been watching you're channel a few days now. Found it late but you're work and presentation of history is exceptional. Do you have a patreon brother? If so i will more than happily fund youre work that goes into this phenomenal channel. Much love stay safe and have a good xmas brother.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and showing your support to the channel, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼 I don’t have a patreon as it’s just a hobby and I love filming, but thank you for offering. Have a great Christmas and new year 🙏🏼🐒👍🏼
Another corker Ant, loads of research gone into that one. I'd never heard of either character before although I have read about some of the street gangs around Ancoats at that time. As usual mate a great watch and educational too. I agrre with your comments about the headstones, it is a bit disrespectful especially when you consider what most of these peoples lives would have been like. When I was on security in the city centre around 10 years ago I used to walk around Angel Meadow in the small hours and there was always a bit of an atmosphere about the place. Brilliant Video mate and I hope you keep them coming. Les
Thanks so much Les, I really do appreciate that. I never intended the video to be so long, but the story kept evolving all the time. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can imagine Angel Meadow having an atmosphere...especially at night! I think I might do a halloween special there...now that would be cool! Thanks once again mate and take care,.
Another amazing video Ant. Wow how that area has changed even since I last visited about 12mths ago. Looks like another new high rise going up behind Angel Meadows 😡😡 And what's going on with the old Ragged school building?
Thanks mate! It’s an ever changing landscape and with each change is a piece of our history taken away and lost. They have been messing around with the school for ages and I can’t get an answer off anyone, what is going on. It should be open to the public as a museum of what hardship the area had to endure. Thanks once again mate 👍🏼⭐️
Another top video mate I’m gonna go and look at that writing on that bridge,I’ve parked on that side street many times next to angel meadow and only realised what it was when reading the book on scuttlers
@@daftmonkey7296 you’ve got me absolutely hooked on the scuttlers and angel meadows, I’m from Salford but live in the lakes now, I’m going to come down soon and have a mooch around 👍👍
@@adrianlydiate7197 haha it’s a story that has captivated me too mate. Unbelievable really when you start to understand what the city has gone through over the years. There’s plenty more to come in the future regarding the scuttlers. The stories are limitless 👍🏼
It's good to retell old stories, good and bad and revisit the locations Which has and had meaning and connect with the past before the dreaded Glass tombstones bury the past for good. Btw the names on the bridge below and right of Horridges name looks like J SMITH, don't know if anyone commented on that? Keep up the good work!
Your work just keeps getting better! Angel Meadow is my favourite subject and this is by far my favourite video. I can’t praise it enough, you definitely have a talent for this. Epic, absolutely epic and I look forward to the next one. Not rushing you like 😉👍
Great video ant,I was most interested in the graffiti part , because further up dantzic street towards collyhurst there's a steep hill behind the 2nd block off flats,the Mrs and her friends played on there as kids they called it bobs hill, just asked her why they call it that she didn't know.
stunning yet again mate iam in my 60s and you are still teaching me the history of my birthplace this was fantastic mate one of the best keep it up bud .
Thank you so much Martin! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. We learn something new every day. The city has so much to offer us! Take care mate and thanks once again 👍🏼💯
Anthony wow wow wow, everything it is so captivating, you really need to be making the TV your passion and work is fantastic. So much information, history, makes the audience be in there part of it, get into the moment with it. Description of the character is so well described it is as though he was a local in our village, one of those you watch out for, one upto no good, and wanting to work out what his reasonings behind his story. Thankyou so much for sharing. I know you put so much work and time into your documentaries and it feels like next week we will see the next episode. Thankfully your work is worth the wait for the next one :). your going to get to where you want to be, it will happen at the right time X
Thats so kind of you Yvonne! maybe one day it will happen...who knows, but for now I'm enjoying making these videos and bringing the stories back to life. it makes it even better with lovely comments like yours! thanks so much for the support! it really does mean the world x
Great stories brilliantly told and explained with enthusiasm and detailed Knowledge of the subject . Excellent viewing for history lovers . Thanks for taking your time to produce them .
This has definitely been worth the wait. Awesome work Ant it’s crazy how people walk through Angel meadow and don’t realise the history under there feet . It’s so sad to see the headstone’s being used as a wall . I don’t think it would be so bad if they was facing the other way round. At least they would be read and remembered that way . Again thanks for all the hard work you put in for us all to enjoy 👍🏻 All the best mate
Thank you so much mate. I totally agree. Just something as little as turning it the other way round would be a much better touch! Thanks so much for watching it Ian! The support is greatly appreciated buddy 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 been so busy it’s the first chance I’ve had to watch it. I visited Quarry Bank cotton mill when I was in Manchester last wkend. It’s a great working example with the largest working water wheel in the uk .
Great story I visit Manchester often It was the music scene that got me in interested in the city years ago .I'm sure the church in this video was the one where Tony Wilson funeral service was? Being from Glasgow a lot of similarities between the 2 cities
Thanks for watching Stephen! I really appreciate you taking the time out to watch it. I agree, there’s many similarities between the two cities! Both have produced some excellent music over the years!
You are a very good story teller Ant, i really enjoy your documentaries, I'm originally from Bury, and it would be great if you ever did one from my home town, the Unsolved Murder in the Bright Street Garage in the 70's comes to mind as possible material for your future documentaries springs to mind.....just a thought!
Thanks a lot mate, that really does mean the world. Oooh really! im always on the lookout for new material so I will definitely look into this! thanks for letting me know about it mate! take it easy !

Now, I can see why the headstones have been disrespected in this way! it is a sign from the city council and local government to say '' we won '' and you mean nothing to us. These stones should never have been covered up or used this way, and they should bow their heads in shame and guilt. Keep doing this work mate and we will support you always.
Thanks so much Harry, that's very kind of you and I totally agree with you. these people had lives and existed. they lived and died on Angel Meadow for their headstone to be disrespected like that is unforgivable. Thanks once again mate for taking the time out to watch the video. im so glad you enjoyed it. take care
@@daftmonkey7296 There is an interesting theory regarding the '' Fluer de lis '' ie: the emblem of the Bee. Apparently the Fluer de lis was used to brand slaves back in the day! and what is the Manchester symbol?. Weird
@@harrynorcliffe-hlc6787 wow! I never knew that Harry!
That was so good I watched it twice, the delivery of the story was superb, thank you. I totally agree with you about the disrespect of using the headstones as edgings, just awful, they could've put them somewhere in the park where people could see them
Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch the video! I really do appreciate it. Yeah, I agree mate, they should definitely have been put in a better place so people can pay respects and appreciate what what there before them. Thanks once again and take care 👍🏼🐒
I wonder if Bob Horridge was born in the dwellings I used to live in as a kid at the top of Strangeways? Sends a tingle down my spine... The video of you on the bridge looking back at Strangeways also had the church, St Chads where I went to school.. very nostalgic.
He could quite possibly have lived there mate, if not really close by. Really I never knew about the church! Amazing!
As usual, great production values make your videos stand out. Don't want to repeat what others have said here so I'll simply say thanks mate! You're bloody good at what you do.
Wow! thanks so much Mike! thanks really kind of you mate!
I really enjoyed this video Ant. Certainly brings it home what life was like in Victorian times. The name Horridge on the bridge is a great find and all the history of Angel Meadow makes me realise that I'm thankful I wasn't born in those times. You have a way with words and bring these stories to life....Well done xx
Thank you so much that’s really kind Gaynor. It makes it worth all the hours of research and editing when people like yourself enjoy the video. Thanks so much ⭐️
Absolutely brilliant Ant, loved every minute of it, you've definitely got a special talent, don't ever stop educating and entertaining us, thank you 💯👍✌
Thanks sooo much Cassie! x
I was born and bred in East London but I have a passion for social history. Quite by chance, your video of the murder of Kathleen Parkinson came up on my TH-cam recommendations. I watched it and was captivated by your video. Quite by chance, when reading about Victorian social history during the Industrial Revolution during the middle of last year, I bought the book that you that you recommend in your notes before even coming across your channel. I was captivated by the history of Angel Meadow. The poverty, the tragedies that occured; it was, as you say, a page turner. I believe that the church that you visited in this video also has a mention. William Blake, the poet who penned the words of the extremely well known anthem "Jerusalem" you will recognise the hymn as it starts, "And did those feet in ancient times..." it is usually sung at important celebrations, viewed to be extremely Patriotic. Many people don't realise that Willliam Blake used his powerful poetry and writing skills to talk of the poverty, the under classes, the abuses of workers who were factory fodder and many other social comments. Within that hymn Jerusalem, he refers to the "Dark satanic mills." By doing so, he was talking about the mills, making a social statement about how Great Britain had fallen from it's glorious past. Although now sung with pride, the poem was extremely controversial in its time. I do have to say that having watched many of your videos now, (I am working through them all) you are extremely talented. Your retelling of history and events, your pride in Manchester and Salford is evident. Your narration is fantastic, as are your video graphics and you have me captivated and spellbound with each video. I would like to say to you, congratulations upon such hard work, the love that clearly goes into each video, along with your detailed accurate narration is the best that I have seen. I wish you every success with your channel and hope that it grows, gaining the recognition that it truly deserves. Thank you for bringing your history alive. One very impressed social change academic!
Fabulous gripping telling Ant....you have a gift my mate....keep it up son....very addictive and interesting boss,u da mayor!!
Thanks so much mate! Thats kind of you to say! Cheers for watching 👍🏼
Another great video, well executed and a fantastic storyline 👏 👍
Much appreciated Mate! Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
I was borne 1949 angel meadow, great video,,, THANKS 🇬🇧
Brilliant Anthony, I wish u put this video out last week I was in angel meadow on Sat. Had 2 hours to kill in Manchester, I was on that bridge. That church I've passed many a time ,I'll defo go in next time, it's fabulous. Great story, 2 similar men but chose different paths. This is one outstanding video pal. 👏 👏 👏 ps ( I reviewed the Marble Arch😊) well done pal
Aw, now way mate! I would have met up for a pint with you If I'd have know. Amazing stuff slurp! the past really does intrigue me, especially when you see the remnants that are left behind! Can't wait to see the Marble Arch vid, ill keep my eyes peeled mate :)
Wow...that was so fascinating...you are very talented at telling the story...that was brilliant...The Hidden Gem is gorgeous...I used to go in there with My Dear Mam...Bless her soul.Keep the amazing videos coming...you have a great talent.
@@helengallagher4165 aww thank so much Helen. Thats really kind of you to say. Yeah, the hidden gem is something else isn’t it and so much better in real life. The camera doesn’t do it any justice really. Thanks once again 👍🏼⭐️
Honestly, I was gripped from the minute I started watching!!!! The names on the wall aswell are just amazing. This dark history of Manchester is fascinating and I read about it all the time. Very very well put together, thoroughly enjoyed it 10/10 👌
Aw thanks a lot! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! That one little place in Manchester has so much to answer for haha! Thanks for taking the time out to watch the video 🌟
@@daftmonkey7296 me and my little lad always go to town and I take him to places and tell him the history etc. He loves it which makes me smile 😊 Stockport is an interesting place aswell matey… I’ve recently done the old workhouse and went back in the daytime for an explore. What a place!!!
@@ShadowHuntersUKTV you can’t knock it can you! The place is full of hidden gems! Ooh really. Is it on your channel? I’m in Marple👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 yes the invest is in my channel. I will message you 👌
Fabulous anthony! Addicted to the area myself having ancestors from there. Find it shocking how the history seems to be vanishing without even a nod to it in the soul less new builds. I got Dean's book a while ago and couldnt put it down so Dean......a part 2 please. 😃
You are spot of Sarah, they have obliterated the past without any consideration for it. It’s such a shame. Oh yeah! Part two would be brilliant 🔥
Thank you for this beautiful video. If you want to see a bit of my history, look up Ådalen -31... Military killing civilians in Sweden in 1931. Fascinating and some of my relatives were there.
Oh wow! cheers Martin!!
Great stuff mate , the places you filmed was my playground in the 50s it brought back some memories, next to the bridge with the carving of Horridge was a blacksmiths I remember the ragboners horses being shoed We used to play football on the burial flags. We would raid Smithfield market. to get our vitamin C. and sit on the grassy bank eating our ill gotten goodies overlooking the Meadow. with lovey evening sunsets we could see Strangeways in the distance over Red Bank. The stink of the boneworks and smell of the tobacco works Happy days with the gang Paddy , George, Eugene, Slogger .Plaz, Danny , Joe. and Penny....
Wow! You’ve really painted a picture there mate! I could almost imagine it myself! Amazing stuff!! Thanks for taking the time out watch the video and also leaving a comment. 👍🏼💯
Brilliantly done Angel meadow became a great interest to me passing through the gardens to work at the co-op and watching the development of the the new co-operative building
Thanks a lot mate. It’s been transformed in areas over the past few years. Much more digging going on at the minute too. Thanks so much for watching and taking an interest mate 👍🏼
Another wonderful look into the characters, poverty & history of our city, passionately & respectfully narrated by you, this is only my third video of yours, looking forward to the rest, thank you so much.
Thanks so much for taking the time out to watch the video Patricia! I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the content the channel has to offer 👍🏼
Amazing story !
Your videography and presentation is exceptional
Thank you so much! That really is kind of you to say. I really do appreciate it and thanks for taking the time out to watch the video 🙏🏼👍🏼
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
Thanks so much Rob!
Another superb documentary, about the dark murky side of Manchester’s poverty stricken communities, and the misery they had to endure. X ps….. try doing the stencils with wax crayons, they pick up the patterns, and writing better. X
Absolutely, Top notch story and world class commentary, You my friend are wasted on TH-cam and should be doing TV, Brilliant
Thanks really kind Ian, hopefully one day it might happen and if it does ill always remember the support from yourself! 100%
Brilliant video mate! Editing and narration are top notch quality, proper gripping 🔥👍
Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate it :)

Wow 10/10 again! I always learn something new with your videos. Now the name "Horridge" will be forever in my mind. Excellent video mate. Love to follow you on your journey.
Thanks a lot Storm! I really appreciate your support man! cheers !!
Absolutely brilliant as per usual 👌 I agree with you, about the headstone’s around the seating area at Angel Meadow it seems disrespectful or is it shown as a remembrance of those who have been layed to rest there !!! You think there would have been a monument there to represent the hard working people who worked in the mills, it’s very sad 😞. Thankyou for your vlog, I love watching your videos, you definitely open our eyes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Diane! im really glad you enjoyed it! you made some excellent points there! thank you :)
Brilliant video as always from Daft Monkey. You deserve many more subscribers.

Thank you so much Donny! That is really kind of you to say. I’m really glad that you liked the video!

Aw I’m sorry to hear that! I’m
Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully it took your mind of things for a while. Thanks once again 👍🏼⭐️
Absolutely amazing DM so much history in and around Angel Meadow. To also find Horridge name etched in stone gives you the sense that he still walks the streets. The Church was a site of beauty where his words would echoed from the walls. Thank you Ant.
Thanks a lot mate for checking out the video! Really glad you enjoyed it. I couldn’t agree more with you. It’s a surreal feeling know these people walked the same streets as us today. Take care buddy 👍🏼
Absolutely brilliant mate. Gonna have a cycle down this week and take look around 👍🏻
thanks a lot mate, I really appreciate you checking out the video! hope you enjoy the bike ride mate!
You`ve put a lot of hard work in to these uploads, i`m sure the subs will come.
Thanks mate, they can be very time consuming, but worth when people enjoy them. Thanks for tuning in Kevin 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 only came across you recently, going through the back ones now and enjoying them.
@@kevinjackson7340 much appreciated Kevin! Thank you so much mate! Hope you enjoy! I’ve got loads more lined up very soon!
This was class 👏
I read a book about Caminada last year, and I've had Dean Kirbys' book for a couple of years now, I'll have to pick it up now!
Haha, aw cheers mate! That’s much appreciated mate. Dean Kirby’s work is pivotal to the history of Manchester and what he had done in regard to the preservation of the past is unbelievable. Thanks for watching, I really do appreciate it 👍🏼
@Daft Monkey No worries, I'm from Salford so it's nice to see someone covering local history 👍 got some catching up to do with your stuff
@@ABFrank. cheer mate!
Hope you enjoy the content 👍🏼
I read Dean's book about a year ago after watching your Angel Meadow video, and I agree, It's a fascinating read. Keep up the great work DM. 👍
Thank so much mick! yeah, deans book is incredible! each page is a glimpse into the past! amazing! thanks for watching mate and take care
Absolutely fascinating documentary. Outstanding 👏👏
Thank you so much Stu! 👍🏼💯
Brilliant ♥ Ant, you bring that time to life, you can never cover history of Angel Meadow and the surrounding areas, and stories enough, so interesting x
I agree Audz! that place has a strange pull about it and it never gets boring. Thanks so much for the support and taking the time out to watch it x
Brilliant and engrossing as always, you do this brilliantly and getting better with time
Thank you so much Sheila 💯⭐️
Just when I thought you couldn't get any better . You've smashed it with this one . Just brilliant one of your best I think 🤘😎👌 still like Fred dibnah though 😜
Thanks a lot mate! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It was a bugger to edit. Drove me insane at times but I’m glad it done and it seems to have gone down well 👍🏼
Wow..Bob's Victorian tagging..nice one Anthony..
Haha, cheers buddy!
Another great video. Absolutely agree about the headstones, very disrespectful in my opinion, they should be displayed, maybe with a rose garden around them.
Thanks for Another Quality Vlog mate.love the History.love the way you tell the story. Top Class 👌🐒
Thanks mate! I’m glad you enjoyed it 💯👍🏼
Just brilliant. Thank you. :)
Thanks so much for watching Gaffy 👍🏼
Brilliant, as always.
Thanks a lot mate!
Superb, Anthony. Superb. Caminada was truly the father of what became the CID, and Horridge pre-dated the scuttlers by decades. I'm with you on the point of history coming up through the bricks and cobbles, mate. We're all hoping the graffiti is Bob H himself, but I'm not 100%. The other names such as Bad Guy or Dale weren't prevalent at the time, and it's by no means certain gang members advertised their presence that way, whilst being constantly on the run. Marking out territory was word of mouth back then, and unwritten understanding.
St Michael's Flags was used by local kids as a playground back in the day. They probably giggled about the inhabitants below and tried to scare each other.....whilst playing tag and football.
All your work is amazing in my opinion, but you have out done yourself with this one DM, fantastic work. well researched and put onto film. Well done and cheers.
Wow! thanks so much Lee!!
I love history , this fantastic to watch i thankyou DM
Thank you so much for watching Jane🙏🏼👍🏼 🌟
Love this watched it and your others with my 10yr old son. Passing the knowledge to the next generation so they are never forgotten.
Aw that really has made my day! Thank you so much and please pass my regards on to the little one 👍🏼⭐️

Thanks so much Richard!
Been watching you're channel a few days now. Found it late but you're work and presentation of history is exceptional. Do you have a patreon brother? If so i will more than happily fund youre work that goes into this phenomenal channel. Much love stay safe and have a good xmas brother.

Smashed it again kidder.
@@jaycee860 nice one Mucca! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Excellent as always 🙂👌
Thank you so much Mandy!
Brilliant cheers😊
Another corker Ant, loads of research gone into that one. I'd never heard of either character before although I have read about some of the street gangs around Ancoats at that time. As usual mate a great watch and educational too. I agrre with your comments about the headstones, it is a bit disrespectful especially when you consider what most of these peoples lives would have been like. When I was on security in the city centre around 10 years ago I used to walk around Angel Meadow in the small hours and there was always a bit of an atmosphere about the place. Brilliant Video mate and I hope you keep them coming. Les
Thanks so much Les, I really do appreciate that. I never intended the video to be so long, but the story kept evolving all the time. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can imagine Angel Meadow having an atmosphere...especially at night! I think I might do a halloween special there...now that would be cool! Thanks once again mate and take care,.
Another amazing video Ant. Wow how that area has changed even since I last visited about 12mths ago. Looks like another new high rise going up behind Angel Meadows 😡😡 And what's going on with the old Ragged school building?
Thanks mate! It’s an ever changing landscape and with each change is a piece of our history taken away and lost. They have been messing around with the school for ages and I can’t get an answer off anyone, what is going on. It should be open to the public as a museum of what hardship the area had to endure. Thanks once again mate 👍🏼⭐️
Another top video mate I’m gonna go and look at that writing on that bridge,I’ve parked on that side street many times next to angel meadow and only realised what it was when reading the book on scuttlers
thanks so much Liam!
Didn’t want that to end, great vid mate 👍
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it ⭐️
@@daftmonkey7296 you’ve got me absolutely hooked on the scuttlers and angel meadows, I’m from Salford but live in the lakes now, I’m going to come down soon and have a mooch around 👍👍
@@adrianlydiate7197 haha it’s a story that has captivated me too mate. Unbelievable really when you start to understand what the city has gone through over the years. There’s plenty more to come in the future regarding the scuttlers. The stories are limitless 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 can’t wait👍
@@daftmonkey7296 can’t wait 👍
It's good to retell old stories, good and bad and revisit the locations
Which has and had meaning and connect with the past before the dreaded
Glass tombstones bury the past for good.
Btw the names on the bridge below and right of Horridges name looks like
J SMITH, don't know if anyone commented on that?
Keep up the good work!
thanks so much for watching the video David! I really do appreciate it :)
Your work just keeps getting better! Angel Meadow is my favourite subject and this is by far my favourite video. I can’t praise it enough, you definitely have a talent for this. Epic, absolutely epic and I look forward to the next one. Not rushing you like 😉👍
Wow thank so much Linda! That’s really kind of you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I’m already working on another one 😉
It`s a wonder Martin Zero never popped up out of the Erk, he loves the place.
😂😂😂
always enjoy these
Thank you so much Anthony 💯👍🏼
Great video ant,I was most interested in the graffiti part , because further up dantzic street towards collyhurst there's a steep hill behind the 2nd block off flats,the Mrs and her friends played on there as kids they called it bobs hill, just asked her why they call it that she didn't know.
Oooh that really interesting mate! Possibly a Bob Horridge connection?! How interesting 👍🏼💯
stunning yet again mate iam in my 60s and you are still teaching me the history of my birthplace this was fantastic mate one of the best keep it up bud .
Thank you so much Martin! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. We learn something new every day. The city has so much to offer us! Take care mate and thanks once again 👍🏼💯
Another gem DM.
Thanks for bringing all my favourite books on Victorian Manchester into stunning documentary form. The thing I love the most is...you get it.
Anthony wow wow wow, everything it is so captivating, you really need to be making the TV your passion and work is fantastic. So much information, history, makes the audience be in there part of it, get into the moment with it. Description of the character is so well described it is as though he was a local in our village, one of those you watch out for, one upto no good, and wanting to work out what his reasonings behind his story. Thankyou so much for sharing. I know you put so much work and time into your documentaries and it feels like next week we will see the next episode. Thankfully your work is worth the wait for the next one :). your going to get to where you want to be, it will happen at the right time X
Thats so kind of you Yvonne! maybe one day it will happen...who knows, but for now I'm enjoying making these videos and bringing the stories back to life. it makes it even better with lovely comments like yours! thanks so much for the support! it really does mean the world x
Thank you really enjoyed that
Thank you so much for watching 👍🏼
Great stories brilliantly told and explained with enthusiasm and detailed
Knowledge of the subject .
Excellent viewing for history lovers .
Thanks for taking your time to produce them .
thank you so much greg!
Great channel thank you xx
much appreciated Eleanor!
This has definitely been worth the wait. Awesome work Ant it’s crazy how people walk through Angel meadow and don’t realise the history under there feet . It’s so sad to see the headstone’s being used as a wall . I don’t think it would be so bad if they was facing the other way round. At least they would be read and remembered that way .
Again thanks for all the hard work you put in for us all to enjoy 👍🏻
All the best mate
Thank you so much mate. I totally agree. Just something as little as turning it the other way round would be a much better touch! Thanks so much for watching it Ian! The support is greatly appreciated buddy 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 been so busy it’s the first chance I’ve had to watch it.
I visited Quarry Bank cotton mill when I was in Manchester last wkend.
It’s a great working example with the largest working water wheel in the uk .
Great story I visit Manchester often It was the music scene that got me in interested in the city years ago .I'm sure the church in this video was the one where Tony Wilson funeral service was?
Being from Glasgow a lot of similarities between the 2 cities
Thanks for watching Stephen! I really appreciate you taking the time out to watch it. I agree, there’s many similarities between the two cities! Both have produced some excellent music over the years!
Fantastic, you bring history back to life with you videos with all your research and information . Enjoyable to watch and listen to . Thank you
Thanks so much Sue that really kind of you! ⭐️
You are a very good story teller Ant, i really enjoy your documentaries, I'm originally from Bury, and it would be great if you ever did one from my home town, the Unsolved Murder in the Bright Street Garage in the 70's comes to mind as possible material for your future documentaries springs to mind.....just a thought!
Thanks a lot mate, that really does mean the world. Oooh really! im always on the lookout for new material so I will definitely look into this! thanks for letting me know about it mate! take it easy !
