Thank you for this video. I lived there on Bonsall St for two years from 1978 to 1980 and it was a bleak, bleak place by then. The scale of development was so huge, the building materials so poor. We had lovely neighbours - really houseproud - on one side. On the other side I think we never saw them in two years. Such was the sense of isolation in the densely packed deck access flats.

My grandad lived in Stretford and as a child I visited several summers in the 70s. When we went into the city proper we'd pass the bullrings and they looked both like some sort of sci-fi set and intimidating. I recall many of my family telling me how dangerous the area compared to my suburban Chicago home. These pics bring a new level of despondence my memories didn't have. lol

Hi all Hulme people out their, I wish you all well. I was born in the old Hulme
Junction St in 1951,where the Junction Brewery stood at one end and Vine st school stood at the other. My father Rest His Soul, used to frequent the Junction Pub at the weekends. As kids we used to pile in to the Pop cinema on a saturday to watch the matinee's. The Wycliffe Cinema was just down the road. I could go on and on. HAPPY DAY'S.

My Aunt lived on Vine St. Remember the Wycliffe Cinema, Sports Depo and when then flattened Old Hulme for the disaterours Cresecents and deck acess flats with their international breed of cockroach infestation, British American and German.
Even worked at Birley High where my pupils achieved 100% A-C in their GCE
Wow! what a trip back to memory lane! I remember the bull rings going up, and there sinking !!! I lived just behind the Grants arms on Lupton Walk. It still amazes me that rockdove, Humamby and i forget the otherone are still standing! Oh and just to let you know... My brother and I stripped the the lead of Leaf St baths just before they got demolished :D

I got off my face in those places. I thought it was great at the time, but looking back, what a dump. My overall recollections are of getting mugged, burgled and v.d.

The First two are unfortunate but the third one is Self inflicted Im afraid, you should have stuck to the one Woman/Man or put something on the end of it.
