I loved that greenhouse growing up as a kid in Salford. I moved to Australia when I was 11 in 1985 and it was still open when I left
It had exotic plants from all over the world and fish in ponds going around it. I always thought the glass heated it but it was a very well built mansion and wouldn't surprise me if it was run by steam and I'm sure it was in the building behind it which was a nursery for all the plants. There was some great spots to go as a kid growing up. We used to jump the fence into the rugby ground as well. The caretaker chased us out of there one day shoutin his head off and I got caught by the barb wire jumping back over the fence and ripped all me clothes. Mum went mental at me. Lol.
Thanks for sharing that video. Much appreciated.
Wish we never left Salford. My home town.
Tootal Drive Primary.
Quality history that m8 thanks for sharing man.
It's to heartbreking to watch so many happy memories of this place.
OMG!! How very sad to see the the once beautiful park in such disrepair. I used to play there and I remember the "coal mine" opening in1957.. the house was such a fascinating museum and the hot house was exotic. The such lush green lawns and flowers.. I did get told off by the park attendant for picking some flowers!! I am so glad that I have the original memories of Salford. We never thought it was a dump.. people were a community, friendly and always scrubbing and cleaning the dirt and dust away.. thanks for your videos. I haven't been been back to the area for over fifty years.. but I grew up all around your video areas.. thanks for the memories.👍👏
Absolute pleasure m8 and yeah zive seen a lot old films on Salford housewives cleaning there doorsteps and keeping every little they had spick and span
I used to play in that park in the 60's, it was really nice then, the council should be held to account over not maintaining this space. and buildings.
Too right m8!
Had me first proper snogging session on the museum steps back in the 70's. Oh Joyce, where are you now ??
Haha quality I wonder if she’s still out there?
I also remember visiting the mining museuem many years ago when it was still open.
That’s a great idea fixing galvanised fencing around the green house it will last for years now
Ive Been there just today and it was hella trippy when my friend heard a faint laugh in the buildings.
Used to love running around that museum and Lark Hill Place
Lark Hills still going pal!
The Urban Collective Aww nice one, had no idea.
Amazing! I went to the college opposite Buile Hill Park and always wanted to venture in. So glad you guys have done it
Thanks Olivia glad you got to see it m8!
Spent my life in buile hill park and often visited the museum. I take my daughters there now to the play area just behind it as I've never left the area. Great video fellas, always wondered what it was like in the old building now. 👍
Thanks m8 glad you found the video then man!
Dabigguy77 OMG dad your so embarrassing😂
I live only a 15 min walk from this park. But reading the comments its no where near as good as it was back then. Ppl talked abt the mansion being in use and golf courses. Not there's just a simple playground and basketball courts. Iv always wanted to see what the mansion looks like inside now. Ppl use to think the mansion was haunted. Iv spent my short 14 years in this earth playing, meeting and have fun in this park. Id wish they did more with the place but if anything things have been taken down bc the rude people in Salford burned the tyre swings and stuff. It's sad honestly now the people have ruined whay could of been so much more. Thank you for doing this i highly appreciate it
We highly appreciate you watching and commenting m8 thank you.
I wish i was old enough to have gone in, walk past it every day, would love to see it re done :((
Great video this 1 and brings back alot of childhood memories.
My Dad used to take us in the Hot House and they had Tropical Fish in there..
Loved the Mining Museum such a shame it closed
Thanks for watching Mark and for sharing your history.
No problem, I will be coming back to Salford in the next week or 2 , will be going to the Salford Museum and Media City and just to be back in my home Town for the day
half my childhood memories spent in this park remember jumping the golf course finding all the golf balls that wasnt collected
Quality glad you found the vid m8!
I used to do that in Heaton Park and sell em' back to the golfers !
Great one that, went when I was a kid, the revolving wall fooled me, I thought we'd gone miles underground 😂 tragic how it's turned out, I can still feel the best and the smell of the old hot and house.
Yeah same here m8thanks for commenting man!
Went in there all the time wen I used to go Buile Hill school back in the early 80s som great memories,pity it’s abandoned now
I've heard on the grapevine they are restoring it!
It's so sad to see how this Musium has become so derelict. I rember going to vist the museum back in 1999 and loved going onto the mine . So sad can't belive how it is now.
I remember back in 1976 or 1977, during the first skateboard craze, we used to lie on our backs on our boards and hurtle down the hill near the Hothouse. The trick was then to turn just in time at the bottom and skid into the path to Pet's Corner, kicking up a load of dust and crap as you did it. What a rush! This was all when I lived in Brydon Close featured in your Hanky Park estate video before they knocked the top floor off. My skateboard cost £7.99 from Zodiac Toys on Salford Precinct. Still like to reach breakneck speeds albeit not on a skateboard. Ha Ha. Thanks for the memories Clarky.
Haha quality history that m8 thats for sharing man.
We used to do the same on bluey hills with carbord. Just sit on a big sheet curl it up and hold on lol we had 50 foot ropeys and dens built in to the side of live train tracks lol!
Them were the days...
Top video m8, spent most of my childhood in that park
Cheers Mark glad you enjoyed it m8!
So great video!
Thank you Timothy much appreciated m8!
I visited the museum on a school trip in 1971 when it was still the Natural History Museum. The guide asked us to stand away from the sides as we descended but Todd Russell poked a ruler through the cage and dislodged one of the rubber bricks. Unfazed, the guide explained that we were "now descending to 1250 feet or two and a half times the height of the Blackpool Tower" even though the same rubber brick kept flapping past every few seconds.
Pmfsl top story that m8 lol.
Great vid brought back many memories thanks guys would love to see a part 2 of the way this building looks today if at all possible. Take care and stay safe safety first!!
Thank you, Sarah!
Good on ya mate, interesting.
Cheers Pal!
Salford. Council. Did all this. Just like they messed. Every thing up. A lot to answer for
Hit me in the feels this one clarky, the new build next to the greenhouse was known as Salford consortium back in late 90's early 2000. I spent 12+ month in there training for my NVQ after leaving school. Basically where kids would go to gain a further education in either Horticulture, Cooking and child care.
No way man quality m8 Im glad you got to see it then brother and thanks for the info manny I just did Adelphi lads club too m8 down Salford don't know if you know it? And I've got plenty more to do as well so keep your eyes peeled brother I like doing the old boozers too man!
It was still open just a couple of years ago.
Used to live on the sutton estate nearby and visited the park for walking dog around 1982. Happy days mate.
Quality thanks for your history, Jim. Me Mum actually lived in Sutton flats with her family when I born and I hung about round here most me life so I know it well m8.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt alright dude, not been back to Salford for ages I bet it has all changed round there. We lived in hillcroft house. Used to go to the kettledrum often. Early 80's the area was supposed to be pretty rough but I never had any problems, except getting my car nicked occasionally. There is something about abandoned places , I used to take pics of the old mills around bolton just before they were demolished. It's good to capture the past on film and important for future generations. You are doing an excellent service dude. I salute you sir.
@@jimsmethurst6113 Thank's Jim I appreciate that pal. I actually Beehive Mills in Bolton pal you might enjoy that if you've allready seen it. The Kettledrum was actually still going before covid, hiwever, Ifear I may end up filming it soon...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt it is a small world dude. I used to work for the British mail order corporation from 1973 to mid 1980's. They owned the beehive mill and though I worked at ardwick Manchester I still went to the beehive warehouse sometimes. They also had mills in chadderton, Wigan, widnes, Burnley and Oldham. All originally textile mills but used as warehouses. Some great pubs around ardwick one called the junction had one of the best pints of bitter I ever had. Probably all closed now. See ya dude.
Another Sutton Flats kid here.
Was born there.
Brilliant informative vid . Thanks 👍
Thank you very much x
Great find jason ...loved the cromwell bust..good attempt the mining stuff was brill ..weve been to astley mining museum also seen your video from there Keep up the great work ..stay safe brother ..Frank & Lee..
Glad you saw this one Frank as I have one out based at the sight of the pretoria pit at hulton colliery amd I use footage from this to reconstruct the explosion for the intro that will be out Halloween entitled the ghosts of pretoria.
I used to go there in 2001 when I was doing gardening around Salford was a good place, the new building was like a collage
The building at the side of that big greenhouse there a new lady
who used to work in there she sadly passed away 2012, maybe this is the reason why this place closed
You never know m8 il look into it properly upon my return.
aarrr Well done lads for making this
Thanks m8 weve doen plenty mire round Salford too and penty more to come pal!
Cool
I had a mooch round the old hothouse and grounds a couple of days ago. The gate had been left conveniently open so I simply strolled in.
Haha that is literally how do I do almost every job.
Bail bail bail 🤣🤣🤣🤣 legend m8
They could put homeless. People in that big house. Be nice and. Cosy. For them. They can sit in the park taking their Spice. Looking dapper.
You should have a look at the veno building in Stratford/Old Trafford that's a interesting building. Sad also as it was being renovated into apartments but for some reason they stopped half way through and it was abandoned
I think I’ve looked into that place before you know Il check it out when I get back to filming m8 cheers
Until very recently, the building @2:43 was the park office, and the building @2:49 was a training centre. Just past the training centre on the right was the café and garden centre. The whole compound was open to the public ( at certain times ).
Brilliant thanks for sharing m8 I believe at some point one of the older ones was a stable too?
I'm not sure, but it's certainly possible. There was a tiny zoo at the park once, near the Weaste Lane side. The animals themselves are long gone, but you can still see the old signs telling you not to feed them. I think the old "barn" buildings were once used to house park maintenance vehicles, etc. There is also an old golf course at the park, which is still accessible, one gateway is next to Buille Hill Hall, opposite the side enterance to the museum.
Yeah there was a small zoo pets corner it was although I never actually got to see it!
You're kidding me....you never saw the lions and the crocodiles ??
Lions and Crocs you serious?
Good video that clarky i used to go in the museum myself it was top used to buy coal dust in a jar which of course was aniseed powder to make it look like coal dust lol carnt believe u set the alarm off near end of video tho lol think where the hot house is im sure it was a garden centre for the handicapped them that worked there used to clean the park
Haha no wqy man I do remember getting a jar of toffees from there meself m8 back in the day!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt cool clarky
That cage brings to memory the Markham pit disaster back in the early 1970's. When pits were everywhere still...
What a weird scenario, converting a mansion into a pit, that's awesome. Tell me, we're the mansion owners the original (close by ¿?) pit owners ? (if that was the case, like Arkwright, down from Sutton Scarsdale, also long gone Hunloke Hall, both Derbyshire.
Gutted you didn't get in the Mansion..loved it all the same
Yeah I was too m8 but I am glad I got to see what temained of the old mines. I could have probably stayed longer but it was broad daylight and the centre next door was full...
You've already posted this man good to watch again though👍
Yeah, thanks for commenting again dude I had to repost because after watching the first edit I wasn't happy leaving the access point in the video so I removed that scene and opted for a little bit of text instead. I just wouldn't want the vandals getting in ya know!
Good thinking 👍
I used to go in the mining museum many years ago I bought a jar of what I thought was coal but it was aniseed powder in a jar it tasted nice lol
Haha quality I love that taste good old black jacks.
Haha quality I love that taste good old black jacks.
It's gone ! @5:04, that was where the old greenhouse/café was, but it was still open within the last 2 - 3 years, they must have demolished it completely.
Yeah it probably is actually m8!
I can remember the dates of school trips, and on February 8, 1984 I went to the mining museum. Went about five times on my own in the 1990s. A shame it closed down, hope it hasn't been vandalised by druggies.
It still dorman 2021 but they have just got planning permission to convert it into the town hall
The exterior door at the bottom of the steps was probably once a fire exit from the basement.
Yeah I thought that meself m8!
everything is so much more overgrown now. you cant see the path to the hot house itself its all just long grass, and the hot house is basically just one massive bush, it hurts how they're going to make the garden into another parking lot very soon. the people who are apart of taking care about the mansion on it's own aren't happy about it either.
I’m not surprised m8…
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt it's quite sad really, the organization group that's trying to fix the mansion is making slow progress but I'm thinking of joining them to try and help, the mansion just has been abandoned and left there to rot away
Just a guess, but maybe that chimmney stack in the yard was the remains of a boiler house that once provided heat to the tropical greenhouse.
Yeah highly likely m8!
That was like a garden centre plus child care and other benefits for young people
Yeah I believe there was a sensory garden
I went for mooch round the old museum today...I couldn't even get into the garden ! Did you guys use a ladder to gain access ?
We don't do ladders m8 and no str8 over the fence lol
And in broad daylight too pmsl
I actually got a police chase there bcs I was in the Abandoned bit w the greenhouse n dat
its been shut for 18 years
Don't know why you where panicking, trespass is a civil mater
How do u get in to there me and my friends want to check it out
All sealed off m8!
Its a tight squeeze but there’s a little hatch that’s been left open to the left of the Oliver Cromwell statue. You’d better be slim tho!! Really slim!!!
Criminal how they have let this place go to rack and ruin ..
How did you get in
Now that would be telling
We found your incident report when we went in ourselves message me for it if you want it
Incident report how do you, mean m8?
@Эллис мaкнеилл Haha no way man quality Ive actually dpoken to the guy who went to switch it off thag day if hed have known it was us we could have had a pint he said lol!
@Эллис мaкнеилл Yeah ive replied brotherwe didnt break in though access was open when we went m8 allthough quite dificult lol!
Go here everyday we gained entry to the house thing and found a metal safe and it was took away the next day when we came with tools
Working there you mean?
The Urban Collective no I chill out there with friends I was there today there is a big entry to a building which is interesting if you ever go there
Not to sound callous, but what is the point of making a garden for people who are blind ??
I think it was for sensory purposes m8 sound and touch and smells etc
Had to stop watching, I can't believe what a lack of pride Salford Council have in their City, an absolute disgrace, all councillors should hang their heads in shame, oh hang on, they're probably too busy looking out for their backhanders from developers.
No question!
the only heritage Salford council will leave us is Grade II listed bus lanes in 50 yrs time.
