i was born in 1971, and from Cantril Farm/Stockbridge Village, and love the old film of the estate the old oxo blocks, and the flats with 21 floors by the shops and the maisonettes at old Roughsedge.. all long gone. Nice Memories!

@taxikarl I lived in Canny as well. In the maisies in Barons Hey. Small world

[taxikarl]

@admanphoto well on part 1, where you have the delievery van driving towards the flats ive just drove around there 15 mins ago and thought nearly 40 years ago this was brand new.

@taxikarl You still live on Canny? I wish I was back there. Go to the Google image page, type Cantril Farm, and you'll see me and my footy team when I was a kid.

I was born in Liverpool in 1971 and this short film fasinates me in some ways but made me feel quite sad in others.

why did they pull all these lovely well built houses down????? shoud hav restored the lot...??????? none ov this mdf shit!!!!

[abuBakr97]

@archieland57 They might've been 'well built' once upon a time but those houses at the beginning of Part 1 ('Faulkner St etc) had more family's of rat's livin' in the walls than there was people. Get your point though. Those blocks were hideous places to live. Un-natural. You'd walk in-especially if there were nobody in) and you'd here the wind howl around. The loneliest sound in the world. There's only one solution to that. And we found it suspiciously right after the riot's. Smack tsunami. ?

Unbelievable the amount of people trying to get on the bus! And I thought there was congestion here in the Washington, DC area! The new flats don't have the character and charm of the old houses.

2:05 bloody hell and they say the age of crime and gangs has lowerd! are these kids midgets and not 5 year olds? cus last time i checked 5 year olds are younger than 13 year olds! lol

[transitcoffin]

this is a lovely bit of film and yet so sad to see all them old houses being pulled down to make way for the new generation of houses i would love to back in time thanks for posting it ;)

[Chocciebiscuit]

Fantastic, articulate and upsetting testimony. People must have been so desperate to move out to Cantril Farm.

The bus service is still crap forty years later!

[Scousefire]

Amen to that mate - them 12/13's are garbage!

Thanks for sharing - check out the history of the Pound Loney on the Falls; its demolition and the forced removal of the community into the disastrous Divis flats.
