The sad irony is that all those brutal looking buildings are now the fashion again, and being built once again in the area by companies like Urban Splash.
i was raised in hulme in the 70's before we moved to prestwich i was there when the gamecock pub was built and also going to aquarius youth centre. they weren't always fun times but we survived. is martinscroft school still there?
good photos reminds me,of when i moved to hulme in 69,the pleasures of a inside toilet(x2) and a bathroom,not a tin bath,great place at first,i lived in epping walk above the apt shop ,good days
fantastic pics went to st georges school and lived on old greave walk on royce road from about late sixes early seventies to 1980 had great memories. it's sad to see pictures off what hulme ended up like.
my old school St.Wilfrids - thanks for the memories, had a great childhood in Hulme - lived on Phillips Street - anyone remember it? Such great neighbours and community spirit. Remember Granelli's on Stretford Rd, Woolworths etc.
Wow Same as what the last dude said, My old Friend Mark :) I currently live on Barrack street which is in this video. However grew up around Hulme. Amazing place to grown up.. good ol days!
I grew up on Charles Barry Crescent, they were all linked John Nash, William Kent and Robert adam. I lived there from about 78 to 86 (by that time the were really grim and was ready for coming down) The memories of Hulme as a kid are great, there was always something to do. These pics have brought back so many memories, thanks for uploading.
Lovely vid Kevin. Loved it and the memories for me were heart stopping. Thanks for the photograph of my dear, old primary school (Mulberry Street).Such memories of a once thriving community and great people are bittersweet. Music was spot on.xxx

lovely to see these old photos, some I remember, some before my time, and some which are still nearly the same.
I wish we still had the Spar shop on Shawgreen!
