If we had this industry today perhaps unemployment wouldn't be so high? So many labeled as being lazy but there isn't anywhere near enough work provided.
I'm proud of Salfords history watching this. We can have that pride today!

Yeah, we'd wait desperately for the sound and loved it very much. We used it as the prompt to let the new year in... i.e. go out of the back door and come in the front, with some coins and a piece of bread... so you wouldn't go hungry or fall on hard times. Superstitious nonsense, no doubt, but we loved doing it. :)

@GhibliFan1 As an aside (and a scouser), I lived in Walton Liverpool, and every new years eve we could hear the ships on the Mersey sounding thier horns at midnight, awesome, wonderful sound, and to us it meant everything, who we were, what we did. Nice to know you mancs have shared this unique experience. This footage is great stuff, with great characters, "Robert STOKER Manchester Liners" lol excellent.

Do any of my fellow Mancs remember hearing the sound of the horns on New Years eve? No matter where you lived in the city you could hear them - we lived in Moss Side (and Fallowfield later) and we could always hear them. Good memories.

Tis a truly fascinating thing. All the work that must have gone into it to connect Manchester to the sea. Sadly I did not have the chance to see it when I was in England last year.

what a massive industrial place manchester was compared to today. now to make money all you do is flip a property to some other idiot or do up old houses and charge £60k more or something. im going to get into property development if i dont make it as a singer on tv and shows.
