It reminds me of a Carry On film….

Can anyone tell me how you old um

👍👍👍❤it.

They did this to my home town of Crewe and many other towns too. It was an attack on the Northern working class.

Retired Valuer here. I remember working on cases like this when I’d just qualified in Leeds in 1968. Some houses were dreadful and often four shared a toilet up the street, and a bath in the kitchen scullery, but no hot running water. Often, in slum clearance areas the compensation was £5 but you could apply for a ‘well maintained allowance’ bringing the total up to about £40. I felt sorry for owner occupiers who had put all their money in like the couple in the film. Ironically, I spent the last 10 working years of my life in Oldham. Great people and we built many new large houses to rent during that time.

why bother watching this poor wobble-vision duplicate when the original is available? Without nausea.

old house working class - slums old house middle class - cottages.

Funny how things never change 😢

Diversity made it a better place.

I asked my wife the other day, what’s the best way to Oldham?

Strange to see the area where my mum, grandfather /walked all those years ago ,Sad so many beautiful building have gone, was hoping to see images of Platts mill as my grandfather worked there, he also painted a patriotic mural on the ceiling during WW2. never seen the mill or photos of the mural. probably demolished by now ?.

We laugh in the face of those who accuse us of White Privilege. Brits we’re slumming it long before immigrants arrived.

Wot no chicken shops?

Looks like scouse 😮

I had to turn it off. My mouth was watering.

It looks a lot cleaner and probably a lot safer back then

Once down its barren wasteland was the drop for the scenery parts of the film The Whisperers correct me if I’m wrong.

Some history captured there!

The Green

Dreamers, good nights in there ...Tommy on the door 😂

Dont forget them houses in yesteryear were falling to bits

And not a mosque in sight,

Oldham is now a Muslim sub continent

Nobody cares love, just carry on voting for Labour or conservatives and nothing will change

Intelligent straight talking Here a good insight into Uk social history

The last geezer is a legend, he should've been our prime minister. Look what we ended up with!!!!!!!!!!!2 tier keir

Got to admire danny the tailor he didnt half mince his words he had nothing grand to say about the politicians and authorities over the way him and his customers were being treated over the compulsory purchase of property in the name of progress. Whole communities done away with in a short space of time what previously took years to build. Good on yer danny

Another world entirely, now ruined by left wing zealots

😮

@19:53 soooo far from the truth!!!

I lived in oldham all my life remember all the terrace houses whuch are gone and other buildings 😢

Fighting talk from the shop-owner. Understandable

Could have been upgraded still millions of those houses being lived in today that have been modernised

Oldham may or may not be a dump today. But those WERE slums. In the 60s those types of homes had toilets in the yard, one fireplace, no hot water except maybe an Ascot heater in the kitchen - the windows had ice ON THE INSIDE on a winter morning. I grew up on Teesside in the 1960s and 'modern' council houses were palaces by comparison - absolute palaces.

They got rid of the terraced houses and built the appalling flats with communities ruined.

I lived in a terraced house in Oldham when I was little. It was demolished when I was seven and was a perfectly nice house. Typical Oldham Council who have always been stupid and greedy. So many lovely buildings demolished replaced by rubbish. A town ruined.
