    This is just One of many of estates all over the UK that stand empty, derelict, while there are thousands of homeless on our streets. The Police had a word with my Wife just a few weeks ago because she helped a guy out on the street with some food and a warm brew. My old girl told them to sod off, she has the right to help anyone out that she sees fit. There is, and always was an agenda Brother. Another point to note, is that only the minority were involved in those riots, with many families being afraid in their homes. And whilst moving certain families to other areas may be a wise move in some cases, how does emptying an entire estate solve any crisis? It just moves problems elsewhere, and truth be told, as our country is being pushed down and ground underfoot by the agenda, more and more violence will occur on our streets and around our homes, wherever we are. A truly great film Clarky that raises more questions than it answers, and opens all our eyes to our very near future. This might just be your best film yet mate. Peace to you and yours our kid. Ken.

      Kenny Nicholson I wish someone would travel the country and video them all. The corrupt, Mafioso Government should be exposed, for creating homelessness, when there is plenty of housing standing empty. You won't see any foreigners on the streets though, there would be an outcry..There sure is an Agenda, its called a socialist tyrannical one world Government

      There are some 600,000+ empty houses in Britain alone, so what's going on?
      Houses that haven't been demolished either need clearing up or CLEANING up.
      Some areas have renovated small pockets of these properties for a target price of XXX thousand each, then sold for profit.
      It will need private enterprise to buy a street at a time and renovate the houses for sale or rent, because the councils won't.
      How come we never have money for our own people but can send billions abroad to dictators to squander?

    I live very close to this estate and I walk through the abandoned park to uni every morning. I was amazed when I first discovered the houses. There's a busy school next to the park so it's a shame that it's been left to rot. In the day it's lovely to hear the birds but at night it's very scary, I would never walk that way home once it's dark. There's a lot of drug deals, illegal dirt bikes and a few rats scurrying around. It's interesting to go look around if you're interested but very scary to get lost in

    I grew up on Hanky Park area and surroundings, from the war years to the late 50's and 60's.. and looking at the area's shown, all I can say is that they pulled down communities and houses and built slums.. how sad to see the dereliction and destruction that has been created for progress.. 40/50/60' were much better days looking at this sadness.

    • @Suninitib
      @Suninitib ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I found this video after watching a BBC news item from 1960 showing Hanky Park flattened with just the old pubs still standing, shortly to be demolished too. All the men who used to live there came back to meet up. It showed a model of a new modern development that was going to be built ie the estate in this film. I don’t know anything about the area but it seems so sad to see yet another estate closed down and wonder what is next and why what looks like a nice estate became abandoned again. Why were there riots? One guy in the video mentioned a youth club and another says there was nothing for youngsters to do. Was it allowed to be taken over by drug gangs? Where did all the people go. Where did you go when you were moved out from the older buildings that were destroyed in the 60s? It’s a great big shame.

      They pulled down the old two up two down terraced housing and replaced them with high rise, which was soon demolished and replaced with this kind of estate which in turn is being demolished.
      There is just a small amount of the two up two down pavement terraced that survived. Just a little modernisation and it's quite sought after now. Should have left it all alone in the first place.

    All flattened, EXCEPT Holcombe Close. Someone is defiantly hanging on in there. The end terrace is painted pink and is definitely occupied.
    Brilliant 👏

    Lived in 27 Brydon Close from 1971 to 1980. Six years old when we moved in and came from a two up two down terraced in Fir Street langworthy Road. For us, this was luxury as we finally had a bathroom and not one, but TWO inside toilets. This was before they took the tops off the maissonettes. There were 4 houses in each doorway, like flats but spacious. There was a park around every corner and even a Crazy Golf Course on the estate (one half pence for a round). I went to clarendon School, just up the road. The estate was rough even back then and I have no idea how it went so downhill. There was everything we needed on the estate and as I said, coming from a tiny terraced, it was posh. There was, on occasion, an outdoor disco in what we called the Square, in Brydon Close.I have some very mixed memories of my life there but just try to remember the good stuff. These days, I own a detached house with a garage but I still look back to the 70's with fondness.

    I just watched a video from BBC archieves from 1963 when they'd ripped down the original hanky park and the pubs were left standing and about to be demolished. I wondered if they had ever built their plans for the new Hankey Park. I can see from this that they did. How sad that they've tore down an entire area twice in less than 75 years.

    used to be old school terraced houses when my dad was a kid round here. They knocked down those solid houses and built these shit houses in the 70's and 80's, and they were proper crap. They're knocking them down again, and will probably build loads of more shit houses that will last for 20-30 years max. Then the proper old terraces around Langworthy and Weaste will still be standing strong when the next lot of demolitions come around

    I worked on this estate in the mid 1980s, minor repairs in every house, nice people, no trouble whatsoever. After this job I ended up the emergency out of hours joiner for Salford Council 47,000 properties 10-15 jobs every night across the city, again no trouble.

    Boris Johnson (UK Prime Minister in2020 for overseas viewers!) has just announced a big building/construction programme for the UK. Maybe this area will form part of that. This area saw a big push in construction in the 1990s when Salford Docks, which was huge, a major employer and very important historically, but was laying abandoned, got transformed into Salford Quays, modern offices and apartments etc. In the 2000s the BBC moved alot of its operations there to decentralise from London. I know alot of people will know this! Not being patronising.

    Crazy. You look at these streets on Google Maps StreetView and they're all still lived in, cars in every drive, that was 2016. Can't believe they emptied an estate this size so fast. Seen a few earlier comments asking "where did they go?" and I was asking myself the same thing the whole way through this video. I've lived in Manchester since 2001 and now live in Leigh since 2012ish, never been to this estate but passed close by it plenty of times, it's mad that it's all empty so close to the main roads. Definite Chernobyl/Pripyat vibes and also weirdly reminds me of parts of Belfast close to what they now call the 'Peace' Wall... anyway excellent video, can see it really means something to you and it's great to have this on record from people who lived there and remember it. Nice one.

Anyway, I know a lot of old houses were converted and new ones built within the area and a lot of the people were rehoused. There, however, or is? still one chap left on the estate to stubborn to leave his home. So hats off to him I say lol. I also know and love the Town of Leigh having been around there myself for many many years. Take csre m8.

    Just watched this on the fire stick, when you think of all the homeless living on the cold streets and these houses are lying empty! and for what! some kind of sadistic punishment for rioting against a fascist government. Brings to mind a story from a friend of mine who worked emptying houses like these of furniture etc prior to demolition, he told me of skeletal animals that had been boarded up inside, amidst the councils haste to stop the homeless moving in! and how he could see the scratch marks on the doors and windows as the stray animals that had wandered in, were trying to get out. I hope this makes the council and the government really proud.

      We are ruled by our enemies. Even stupidity and incompetence isn't so consistent and methodical. This is systemic and deliberate by enemies that are in power. They do it in my country (Ukraine) for generations, and they are doing it in almost every country in the world, in various ways. There is currently not one good government and hasn't been in all recent history, or perhaps ever. They like to say "power corrupts" but the truth is corruption is attracted to power, so the positions are inherently tainted. But they only have the amount of power we give them. They are nobodies, nothing. Unfortunately too many give them consent to rule by deferring to nobodies who have installed themselves as "authorities". The solution is everyone, everywhere, mass non compliance. And that includes every military too no longer fighting on behalf of their "governments". Though this is only a pipe dream.

Looked this place up again for nostalgia sake on google maps yesterday and was absolutely flabbergasted to see everything was just gone. Nothing but grass and broken pavement.
