Good to meet another Oldhamer on TH-cam.
The accent is distinctive 👍
Amazing how other towns keep a thriving market going Bury Ashton etc just our council and how its run not for Oldhamers anymore unfortunately and thats all I will say on the matter
Always great to see your videos,it's sad to see the Tommy field market like this for us people from Oldham now in Australia.The market used to be great supporting all the local people keep up the great work Sarah.
Thanks Jason and I will do. 😁
Yes I agree, I moved to Western Australia in 1988 when the Tommy field was a brilliant thriving market, it’s so sad to see it now 😢
Ahh I’m so sad to see this but appreciate your video. I lived in Holmfirth growing up and dad would let me bunk off school some Wednesdays to go with him to the market. It was brilliant. He always bought Wrangler jeans from the jeans man and I always found great shoes and makeup! Sad sad times.
Thank you for watching. It was a great market x
Ooo Sarah .
You’ve been on my mind all day !
That’s probably because I’ve been round Oldham and just happened to be noticing and passing the places you film most !
Stood at the bus stop facing YORK HOUSE. I pondered on what you asked me before had I noticed anything !
Only the pizza and potato factory I watched your video regarding the other night .
I used to love getting a baked spud with chilli and cheese fro the PPF x
@@SarahsUKGraveyard
Incidentally !
Have you ever thought of making your own curried goat , rice and peas in your cookery ?
There’s an African Caribbean ship opened at the bottom of Yorkshire street maybe 4/5 years ago and they will sell everything you need !
Probably get the best advice on how to make it too .
Also store it in freezer boxes to eat at a later date or pull out and warm if you have any visitors round for a refreshing change .
I'm going to do it that's a fantastic idea and will really test me. Yes I'm defo doing that and I know the shop your talking about I'll pop on next time I'm in Oldham xx
What really gets on my wick is the lack of accountability. These councillors seem to do what they want with impunity. They are basically dismantling and destroying Oldhams heritage and just get away with it year on year.
The other side of it is that Oldhamers give these councillors a mandate to do what they want by voting for them. That said, as a working class lifelong labour voter, I can't see any other party being any better for Oldham so what's the answer? Maybe there is a mechanism for challenging Council decisions? Like scrutiny groups? Could be worth looking into.
You know oldjam in the 1800s was conservative, then socialist then Labour and has remained that.
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I honestly don’t trust any of them as custodians of Oldham. Even as a labour voter, it’s shameful what successive labour councils have done to our town.
Perhaps stand for Council as an independent, have you thought of that as an option if you're a local? Good luck if you decide to go for it.
Hi Angela I don't live in one Oldham these days although I'm always there lol.
Great video, thank you (saw your other one about the candlelight, 'grab a granny' we called it back in the day)
Some day a child not even born yet may look at your recordings or even pictures from elsewhere and marvel how full of purpose and character the old style Oldham used to be. Oldhamers were noted for their friendliness and humour and generous spirit. My Mum and Dad met someone who was on holiday I think and they came from a different country. He said he was posted to England and stayed in Oldham for a while and loved it. He said he would never forget the kindness he was shown by the people of Oldham. They treated him like he was one of their own when he was missing his own family so much..
I've always loved Oldham. What are they thinking of? Since the late 1960s it seem to be being erased street by street.
The outside market looks like a skeleton where a body used to be.
What is the aim? To turn it into a parking lot surrounded by new builds? I don't get it. It's being wiped out in slow motion.
I agreed with every one of your observations. Great work Sarah!💜 (You are courageous)
Awwww thank you do much for the comment and watching xxxx I agree with everything you said xxx
My maternal family lived in Oldham and Chadderton for 200 years. My grandma lived in Hollinwood and I remember coming with her to the market in the 70s. Sad to see it all going.
sorry for the late reply Matthew. Your right its such a shame x
Hello Sarah did you not see the old Albion pub sign at the bottom of the arcade
I used to work on top of tommyfield market in the 60s I worked for the council,we used to do repairs on the roof,there was a covered area up there with seats in it we used to have a brew in there,we could walk from one end to the other, and on dinner time we would All go down to the end were the fruit stalls used to be,there was a small wall there, and the workmen who were doing jobs on the roof, would whistle at the nice women walking around in the market,many years later,I was on my way home from a night shift at asda chadderton,and there was the market, burnt down, what a sad sight,it upset me...... because of all my memories of it.....
Awwwww it's awful isn't it. I believe it was 75? Am I right ? Or maybe 74
oldham is finished as town centre, absolute disgrace how oldham council run our town.
Hi ,just rewatched this ,in the arcade when you get to the bottom on your right if you look up have you ever noticed the hand sign pointing to where the entrance to the pub used to be ,think it's still there .Great videos.
Didn't see it or did I can't remember XXX I'll have a look next time for certain x
I used to go with my nan when I was a little boy and ride on the carousel
Me too always went to the top of the London bus 😂😂
I recall the 50p stall, anyone else?
Oldham Council had the great idea of turning the market that thousands visited into a car park so people would have somewhere to park when they came to visit the market that is now a car park lol
Yes that's about the size of it. 🤣🤣🤣
I had a walk on the car boot sale today and a few people have said that when the pull the market down they are not going to bother going in the spindles it's totally going to kill the town I sad the council have already done that for us
So true its really bad
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I remember someone saying that Southport used to do trips to Oldham Tommy filled market. And the snipe is also being pulled down. Why can't the council just spend some money and do the market up
Too busy building carparks
@@SarahsUKGraveyard yes to get more money 💶🤑💷💸
The Lucy Oxford Electric Box is from 1994/1995 the stall configuration on your video is around the early 2000s. I was the person who drew the CAD drawings to re-position the stalls. There used to be more stalls. The present steel stalls where installed around 1995. I also provided the fixed electrical wiring certificates for some of the indoor stalls in 1992.
Brilliant Michael. Not calling your product I was just keen on the old stalls but great to hear from the man that added to the markets history xxx did you have to consider anything special ?
@@SarahsUKGraveyard No, nothing special. I think I was told to draw the plan for half of the steel stalls to be removed. This was undertaken in the the early 2000s as the outdoor market wasn't as popular as it was once. This is when the Car Park was enlarged. In my opinion the steel stalls although practical ruined the look of the place after all the wooden stalls were removed. Although they where in a poor state. Progress I suppose.
The Market Hall was re-built in two stages after the first stage was built the brick built temporary market Hall was demolished and the the Market Hall was then completed.
By the way I was the person who looked after the Book of remembrance at Oldham war memorial for twenty-six years (For the Fallen of WW II) opposite the Parish Church until I was made redundant at OMBC in 2013. Just before I left they removed the mechanism and repaired it and cleaned all the pages. This may be of interest to you when the Book of remembrance was installed (C1950s) by Ferranti's, two brass doors were removed from the memorial and stored in the basement of the Old Town Hall later they were installed in the Magistrates court and used as a strong room. The courts are now shut so I don't know what will happen to them. At least someone else knows where they are stored.
Amazing really amazing. My grandad's brother James Ravey has a page in the book xxx maybe your familiar xx
Well you certainly walked over my grave a few times tonight Sarah 😊
I used to work on that market back in the 90s .
Top stall next to the steps in the fruit and veg ( home produce)
You are right ,
It used to have a cracking flea market and it hadn’t even got that now .
I remember the market burning .
Saturday we shopped there and Sunday it was no more .
Ooo
The market hall !
I used to drink there 1980 I think it was when I shouldn’t have .
I remember the Cantonese restaurant that used to be there ( Lams) it was over the old jewellers next door to littlwoods and it was Ace .
Yes Levers is old and I still recall they were further over .
Half the shop was wet fish and the other fish and chips .
They were adjacent to the public toilets .
But this isn’t the “one” which sent shivers down my spine , it was the Hathershaw walk !
I was in sports direct today 😁
It was the “Rice&Peas “ that set me off !
Then The Anglo West Indian “ PRB
My blood ran cold !
The phone rang and it was the police !
And what made my blood run cold was mentioned 😱
October 74 wasn't it the market hall burning down ? Love rice and peas with curried goat 🐐 but I can't get anything decent like that in Barnsley unfortunately XXX
@@SarahsUKGraveyard
Oh that was it !
Back in 2015 I heard my ex was the chef there .
He used to part own the Caribbean kitchen on Yorkshire St .
My ex was a self taught chef and could cook but I think ITAL did all the cooking at the C.K and you may know him from walking round OTC .
He’s a friendly chatty Rastafarian whom Is well known and always chatting to someone .
Next bit 👀👀
I almost CHOKED .
Someone on Ashton road was trying to get your attention and you switched your camera off as always !
When you said BOWDIE and HIS MUM 😱😱😱
I thought Sarah are you psychic because my bf before the chef was called Bowdie and I think he lives with his mum after his dad passed 🙏🏻
As for the Anglo West Indian I used to be there regular because of my love of reggae music but haven’t been back since Dec 2010 .
Incidentally it wasn’t particularly a pleasant night but I met someone called Boss when I was leaving and we exchanged phone numbers at the end of the evening .
We kept in contact every Xmas with cards and I’d receive texts from time to time which suddenly stopped in 2016 ?
However ,
I was thinking of this person whilst out dog walking and when I arrived home to check the post ,
Saw a Christmas card and knew whom it was from without even checking the writing !
It turned out my friend had lost my phone number and was too lazy to write but having been affected by the covid jab and list partial use of his arm and hand decided to write whilst he still could and I was still in his thought bless 😇
He sent another letter and beautiful card the following week but what it was in aid of he didn’t actually say 🤔
I did return a Xmas card and I even replied to the second letter but thought ,
That will teach you when you open it and find I didn’t send my phone number ,
You will have to put Ken to paper more 😂
I love chatting and this channel gives me the opportunity !
Having stated you loved filming graveyards for the history and not the supernatural , I thought pity because I’d love to be your co pilot round a big cemetery as Greenacres or chadderton with you at midnight 👀👀😱
Nah I’m not ghoulish or one for digging up graves either but I am a bit deep and love the fascination of finding out what dies go on in these place at night !
Y’know whilst your sat listening to owls and being dive bombed by bats , the curious fox, badger, rat comes sneaking around adding to the suspense of what it whim else you could see passing by chance .
Are we allowed to ask personal questions ?
Sarah have you met any mediums or spiritualists on your travels and do you believe in them ?
Some do , some don’t , some don’t care one way or the other .
Then it’s raking out the real from the fake ……
I find it all very interesting .
There are some interesting old buildings in lees village if you know your way round .
If you are going looking for walters tribute ( Victoria cross) facing GA cemetery where it is , there is plenty of interest around there .
The Lees Brook mill ,
The little hardware shop in mill at Salem may interest you , it looks old and could have belonged to the mill .
Across the road may also interest you a house set back on the river standing alone .
If you go into the lessbrook park itself it’s interesting over at the Elbit mill and parts of building where parts of what was there previously are dotted about .
Also where the coop is now on Athens way is where the old lees brook mill was said to be before it burned down and was rebuilt in its presents location .
There’s old buildings too like The St Thomas school on both sides facing Lees Villa and old interesting properties .
If you go through the park onto Tumbling bank you will see the original cobbles and a row of cottages which lead down to Rhodes hill off Knowles lane .
But there’s also a cemetery on Thomas Street .
I dint know if there is anyone famous in there but you never know .
Jo Kershaw is in there and he was the last tenant of my flat before someone broke in and tried to bump him off aged 95 .
He moved into my flat downstairs and I in his upstairs .
He later moved to a nursing home up the road and made it to his 100th birthday 🙏🏻
I met Joe 2009 when we moved here and he was a remarkable person whom didn’t look a day over 70 .
I think Joe passed 2015 aged 100 and he was a remarkable person .
I found some old photos of him from possible the 70s when the plumbers took out the old radiator and found them down the back .
And if you are looking to do a sit in at the cellar in the farmers boy one night , I’d be interested to find out what fuss bump in the night and if you can catch spirit on camera 😊
Yes we can do a sit on at farmer's boy soon our Leanne would speak to Rory why don't you join us and see what happens xx no I don't know that guy but have you seen the Rastafarian who lives on Glodwick road plays music during the summer xx
@@SarahsUKGraveyard
Yes that Ital .
Rasta Paul 👍
@@SarahsUKGraveyard
Ooo I’d love it 😍
Well done - it needs recording. My memory of the Market Hall (1950's and 60's) - there was a drinks bar with a sign which said "If you need glasses see the optician- don't take ours". Vimto was the drink of choice. or Horlicks in a mug with a solid handle. Funny what you remember at a distance. Love the typo windgin for winging.
My mum told me that there was a shop where you could get sasparella and they would mix it. I think it could be the same place
@David Trippier.. So sad isn't it David. Was the place in the old market hall in the top right hand corner? 'Cos that's the one I remember in 60's. I used to have a bovril and a mini hovis to dunk in it!! Happy Days then! Later on in 70's as a teenager I had a Saturday job in Peter Haq's just on the edge of what was once a market! Oldham Council should be ashamed of themselves!!
My mum said she would buy saspirela drink in there I bet that was nice x
@@SarahsUKGraveyard Saspirela with dandelion and burdock straight from an earthwarthan jug that was pure heaven .
My mum used to go on about that said it ws brilliant
We used to call them The Dobby Horses when I was a kid
Couldnt agree with you more Sarah the heritage of Oldham is being demolished and your not moaning you are stating your point of view which I'm sure is shared by a lot of people
Yes improve the town but dont build bloody car parks which ain't used
Brilliant comment thank you so much x
Sad to see it like this Sarah 😒 my first Saturday job was in the market hall even had my own stall outside for a little while and at Shaw.
Sadly not just Oldham, most councils are full of incompetents who cannot see further than the end of their noses, one of my specialist subjects local authority douchebaggery. Town centres are a huge problem for most councils, housing sadly and cafe culture is likely the only sensible option for now, such a shame really.
Awful. Here in Barnsley though it's booming healthy market healthy high Street
Hi Sarah have you thought about doing any videos on the war hero's of oldham ... I believed there have been 3 winners of the vc medal ... might be worth a look ... keep up the great work cheers
Hi Dylan yes I've already done a couple of videos. I've also done one on a lost soldier. All of them are on the channel 😁
I remember going there with my parents and grandparents I remember the 50p store shame what the council have done to oldham
If you were to take a closer look at the wrought ironwork, above the lower exit/entrance to the Arcade, you will be able to make out the faces of Disraeli & Gladstone - those two Great Victorian political rivals, facing each other as they might have done in Parliament. It seems that not many people are aware of that hidden 'easter egg.' On another note: I remember seeing a reference to Maj. Ivan Hirst, on one of your tours, where you mistakenly seemed to label him as a Corporal - or something? You may want to look at some of the VW Official History, about Ivan Hirst & his part in the resurrection of KDF into VW? The journey sometimes takes on an equal or greater importance, next to the final destination. Hirst Bros., had jewellers shops in Oldham in the 19th C. They also built the first modern factory in England, if not Britain, & named it Tameside, because it was built next to the River Tame. 'Limit' was the name of their own watch brand, although it is no longer associated with them. Ivan Hirst was a member of that family. So that Oldham has a part by association, in one of the World's biggest car conglomerates, with VAG. You may be surprised to learn that Oldham also played a large part in the birth of another major car marque? A long time before KDF morphed into VW under the helm of Ivan Hirst, & R.E.M.E. Platt's was the World's biggest manufacturer of weaving machinery. "Sakichi Toyoda invented the world's first automatic loom and, subsequently, set up the Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Company in 1918. His invention reduced defects and increased yields since a loom stopped and would not go on producing imperfect fabric and using up thread after a problem occurred. This principle of designing equipment to stop automatically and call attention to problems immediately (jidoka) remains crucial to the Toyota Production System today.The loom impressed a British Company, the Platt Brothers, so much that, in 1929, they bought the production and sales rights for £100,000." There is the fresh trail of 'breadcrumbs' which I have given you to follow, good luck on your next journey.
Ohhhh fab. Great facts thank you. I touch on his vw journey in the coppice walk up chamber Road. I'll be sure to use the info you gave me 😁
Back in the 1980s I used to go every week to a stall run by an old Ukrainian couple who sold an Austrian delicacy called "Manner Schnitten" that was obtainable nowhere else.
What an awful change what a disappointment I used to love tommyfield Market when I was a kid town looked totally different I wouldn't even recognise it tbh thanks for sharing sarah😁
I know it's a real shame plus it will be gone completely soon lx
Must be a labour controlled council! This is a prime example of how not to run a town! Very much enjoying your channel.
It is labour controlled Angela 🤣 thanks for getting intouch and watching x
Great video I can remember in about 1979 I was about 12 and going uptown to the market and I couldn't wait to go but now look at it it's such a shame that it's come to this and to see it go but I suppose that's what you get when you vote Labour. Oh the roundabout was dobby horse very and very sadly missed
It's just very very sad they are going to start on union Street soon. I'll keep you posted
Vera was the lady who operated it..bless her
.such a shame to see it like this 😰
Hi sarah this video is great, and i agree with everything you say about what the council are doing. not only the present council but past councils have never had a future vision for this town, the only vision they have ever had is nothing but a BIG CAR PARK end of.
i am sure you have been to BURY MARKET? now sarah that is a real busy/bustling market and it is encouraged by the bury council and the people of bury. but all our council can do is demolish this town of ours, remember the OLDHAM TOWN HALL before a cinema was stuck on the side of it? well it was a dump left to fall down because our council of the day did not want to spend any money on it at all, and what got up their noses was the fact they could not knock it down because it is a grade 1 listed buliding, just like the NATWEST BANK BUILDING at mumps. anyway sarah you carry on making bloody good videos and documenting the history of this once fine proud town of OLDHAM, and you never know the council may 1 day think about the legacy they are creating in turning oldham town centre into a bloody joke. thank you sarah your a good oldham girl for doing these video's.
Thank you Terry. You know when I go to chaddy cemetery and look at John platts tomb I always think what would he make of what's going on. How his buildings are not cherished. The lyceum is mostly closed now I believe. I'm going to see if they will let me do a video inside. Infact I'm going to do my best to make that happen 😁
I will always remember fond memories of the market growing up. My nan treating me to something to eat in a cafe inside the market and in my teens buying some albums.great memories.The reason they have so many car parks now is a tax on the motorist.
Agreed xx
Heart breaking to see it like that 😢
I know it's shocking xx
District Boilerhouse used to be located somewhere round Tommyfield .It used service central heating systems for St Marys ward.
Really that's cool. 😁
I've just rewatched your video. Looking at that wall of people from oldham. made me realise how underrated the town is. I'm from oldham but I don't live there anymore. I've lived where I am now longer than I have lived in Oldham so my accent has change abit. I've still got a few friends in Oldham.. chadder, Shaw, uppermill. I feel all history will be lost soon as the council will gentrifiy the area.
The town is finished now, there isn't much left. Sad really x
@SarahsUKGraveyard yeah it is.. I remember playing in my band at the time on a stage just outside levers chippy back in the late 90s hosted by the band inspiration carpets clint boon. I've still got a photo of it. Great times.
I remember the castle pub on Union Street in my early 20s every weekend living for it. Now it is a shame they knocked it down. A lot of buildings and places are gone now in Oldham I use to go. Like the swimming baths. It's a shame.
Brilliant xx
I was a kid in the 50s and 60s and Tommy field was fantastic now look at it 100% destroyed.My old dad always said let labour run Oldham and it will change for ever he was so right RIP dad.Thank god I Left after serving in the army to live abroad.
Ye it seems he definately was x
Glad you like the videos. Where do you live now x
@@SarahsUKGraveyard 🇬🇮
Hi Sarah, Have you ever been to the flea market in Ashton? If so, what do you think about it? I wonder if it's worth a visit?
Hi Angela yes many times but not in recent years. It was when I visited a version of what we used to have on a Wednesday in Oldham. You know I may take a day off soon and go again myself x
Great 👍 video Sarah I didn’t know they were making houses so we will be loosing the Market 😢
Looks like it Sarah. 😭
There will be no history left of Oldham by the time the council have knocked everything down that has upset me
Your right Sarah and you know its our towns history that is being lost such a shame
I think the residents of Oldham need to fight and take on Oldham council to save Oldham History
Agreed. I'll stand up 😁
And now I will show You what We have Lost(Charles Dickens Christmas Carol ) William Walton retired to the Island of Ischia Bay of Naples and designed the most beautiful Garden I have ever seen!!!!!!!! Lady Walton was a frequent visitor to Oldham,but He never wanted to be connected with our Town!!!!!!!!
Interesting x
Absolutely shocking what they have done to oldham Town center !
I'm living in Barnsley now but will always be an oldhamer and I'm back several times per week but to prove my argument Barnsley habe a thriving market, indoor narjet abd healthy high Street because its got everything for everyone. It makes me so sad they habe killed oldham retail off
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I 100% agree with you ! It's sad and its shocking 😥
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I went to park on church Lane,because its excempt for disabled drivers,and it was full of uber drivers! I said to the traffic warden are you not going to tell them to move he said errr errr its not my patch ! I'm sorry but if somebody would of parked there who was visiting they would of had a ticket 😡
Thays shocking
Yeah they've ruined it
Wow this is the erea my mom goes crazy dodnt onew it used to look like that i lnow u saw a primary blue school i used to go there😂
I’m not sure but I heard there was a park and trees going on there
My first bike was bought here 1981
Great market xxx
My great grandpa should of been on the picture for the swimmer but he had an injury so he couldn’t swim. I think that’s how the story goes anyway she told it me ages ago but I thought you would find it interesting
I know loads about the Bradbury’s and their motorcycle and sewing machine manufacturing days if you want to do a piece on them
Yes that would be a good video. I've done the Rothwells already but yes I'd like to do the bradburys. 😁
Sadly markets aren't what they used to be. People's habits and ways of shopping changing. It's only a matter of time.😔
Very true Daniel xx
Over the years, Oldham has had it's heart ripped out. But it's not on it's own. I went to Halifax for the first time in ages yesterday and the same things happening there too. Oldham's not on it's own.
I agree it's happening everywhere xx
If I remember rightly the lady who owned the roundabout was called Vera and I remember she was on surprise surprise with Cilla Black. I always remember her as being very dour(just my opinion)
I used to have a Saturday job working for the old Welsh woman called Taffy she had ex army clothing stall, does anyone remember her? She used to have about four stalls she was always busy. As I remember she was 4 foot nothing but no one messed with her. Those were the days when Tommyfield market was the best in the North West.
I don't remember the woman but I do know what you mean about Vera but thinking about it if that's all you'd done since leaving school stand there and watch kids go round and round of that machine for years I think I would be too 😁
4.26, I'm glad the council covered the end of that rather large (notorious) on that green box😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sad they're knocking it down really I know it's not the best place now but moving everything into spindles is probably gonna make things worse
Agreed. This will finish the town centre I think zxx
Let's hope so xx
@@SarahsUKGraveyard well TJ Hugh's has been demolished now so that didn't work 😂
All the shops r still there
For now yes but it is to be demolished. X
Spent many a happy Saturday on Oldham market as a kid, always included a visit to the joke shop on henshaw street (could never afford the fantastic rubber masks they sold)😹
Awww yes the joke shop that was fantastic. I used to buy pretend turds to scare my mum with 🤣🤣
A shop worker in spindles told me they are moving the market in there and in another part of spindles using it for council offices , also they are going to turn the civic centre into a hotel 😏
Xx
Were all the shop gone so sad
Another nail in the coffin of Oldham.
when I was a kid I can vaguely remember a 50p stall full of kids toys. we wouldn't go uptown without our mum treating us with a 50p toy for being good lol, I remember when you walked through the old market you needed to squeeze past people it was that packed. Oldham council build things that are never used, they would do better to not invest in anything and lower business rates so they are very low and attract people back. There also needs to be better security in the town centre., it is a miserable old town that had its soul gutted. will you ever be doing a video on daisy nook, their used to be a big manor house down there called Riversvales Hall that was knocked down in the 1950s th-cam.com/video/pt_Oz3dQgZc/w-d-xo.html
Hi yes I've done a walk through on daisy (water houses) but have never done one with the buildings history so yes I'll add it to the list it's definately the right time of year to do it 😁
My brother used to be treated every week by mum on the stall
I loved it. Soap on the rope 50p
Yes I remember the stall holder shouting to the mums “all bargain price luv, any item 50 pence”😅
Welcome to Oldham here's our carpark that's it you can go now there's nothing else to see
So true x
I have heard that the civic Centre is also moving in spindles this man told me today but he was a bit drunk. I also heard that they are going to build a small football pitch it's just a stupid silly idea
I heard off another subscriber that they were closing it and guess what? Yes knocking it down. No one resists so they get away with it 😕
@@SarahsUKGraveyardalso the council have ruined this town buy buying buildings and letting them go to rot and ruin I did sign a petition to try and stop them pulling the market down. But the problem with the council is they never ask our opinion its just always what they want and just look where that has got us
It's a joke. Maybe we should try and get a petition for gov to step in and stop them on heritage grounds
@@SarahsUKGraveyard that's a good idea I would sign it definitely and I no you and many others would
How do we get the ball rolling
I'm very upset about what oldham Council has done to Tommy field market ,I used to live in Oldham when I a child,it was a lovely market ,absolutely lovely ,its sad 😔 that's its going,I live in Cramlington Northumberland .Oldham used to be my favourite town ,it had a lot of good things, there used to be a goods railway depot in the morning 1970s .I used to enjoy watching the trains there on the summers evening in 1980 and oldham is now like a ghost town ,if I was in charge I would bring back Tommyfield marked I would reopen the parcels depot I would bring back the arcades ,it makes me feel very sad,I'm currently on holiday in Australia ,my name is George .I remember oldham market
I wished u were in charge of Oldham ,u would definitely bring back oldham market I feel more depressed after seeing that video tears came out of my eyes ,when I saw ur film of Oldham market going
Awwww I loved the market too and yes I definitely would bring it back it would make a massive impact on the town for the better x
ombc shame on u....when i was a kid i remember the market was away pack late 70 to 80..... i have heard they turn it in to green space
It gets me fuming honest. Now we're not going to habe a market. Honest my grandad would turn in his grave
not the council labour just labour
@@indian-tech-support they all the same labour /torys /lb dem they all suck
Hang on a minute....they're not moving Levers are they?😫😫
Afraid so. Its shocking but the building is going. No doubt levers can move elsewhere in the town so you'll be OK 😁
out market used to be a belter along with Oldham itself now its just all a load of crap
You can't expect the council any council to carry on spending tax payers money on
The upkeep of something that nobody uses, Why do people always harc back to
What they perceived was a better time the market was formed so poor people could
Afford to buy cheep goods to survive the slave wages that rich people like the Hiltons
Used to pay there workers. And buy the way Sarah i would have more sympathy for your
Point on car parks if you had arrived by Bus, Tram, Train, or even Shankse,s pony.
Well I spent many years on shanks' pony. And yes I do expect the council as public servants to maintain our heritage. The mere fact I chose to use the carpark doesn't cone into it. And yes as a tax payer I do have a right to say how I'd like my tax money to be spent and that's not on the decamation of the town. Its my point of view and I'm entitled to it and so are you that's why I have left your comment up for debate even though you've clearly come looking for an argument. Also what about the poir folk of today that are forced go the supermarkets to buy over priced foods in supermarket chains when there will soon be no alternative.
@@SarahsUKGraveyard Actually Sarah I'm not looking for an argument I'm just stating facts
Its not councils that make people poor its irresponsible governments the council collects the council
Tax and the gov tells them what they can spend it on .we did not have need for food banks until
The torys got in gov know they brag about it and wear it like a badge of honour.
And by the way I am a resident of Oldham for 67 years and am ashamed to belong to the most
Ignorant, selfish ,irresponsible, genaration, this country has ever had my fathers genaration fought
The war came home and threw the tories out then created the NHS,the welfare state,and built homes
Fit for heroes, they called them council estates, the tories and there enables sold it all of for 50 pieces
Of Silver if you want to blame any body then blame the people who did nothing whilst bad people
Did there dirty work.
Sarah 👀👀
