My videos started with talks on my early life including school, family and my career choices. These memories will continue to be documented.
Also, travelling became something I enjoy and I decided to film some coverage of day trips and holidays abroad. I am retired so my spare time easily alludes to all of this. So videos will continue to be a mix of travelling and recalling past life experiences along with current happenings.

i was born in chell street longsight and we moved to greenwoodhouse flats next to central high for boys when our house was being demolished
@@shannonratcliff-qv6in my gran lived in Greenwood house flats.
Be aware that only residents can take a car into Mdina. If your a tourist I suggest you use the local bus.
Thank you - that is a good advice 👍
Thanks for the nice video. I was there in 2018 and noticed that some interesting new vehicles have been added to the exhibition since then.
Thank you.
Triton Fountain - apologies.
do you get a ferry in the ultra ..... I'm so confused
Yes - that’s why I filmed it, such a unique event.
@@stevescamera so do do this every year
@@runstretchsucceedcheck out their events page. It may have been a one off.
how did you like the races
Organised by Fylde Coast Running 👍
The class pictures were amazing, today kids go to school looking like slobs -- some even wearing pajamas to class.
@@jetsons101 better days back then for sure.

Nice hotel which one is it? Travelling to Malta in October & staying at Relax Inn also in Bugibba.
We visited in 2006. It was a lot different then: ua-cam.com/video/CDA8FW6Vf7A/v-deo.html
Wow. So special 😊
Well done, Steve ,putting together photos, I have the same photos and a lot of the same memories. We left Armitage and went to Central together, you were always and are more intelligent than me. Jimmy Brown as I was known in them days. Jim Brown
Wow! How good it is to hear from you. I remember you really well. They were good days. Somewhere from a distant memory someone said you served in the Police Force? I hope life has treated you kind.
Grew up in Gorton happy times when we had nothing except friends 😮
Um Grande abraço Steve! desde Brasil. - A big hug Steve! from Brazil. - Un grande abbraccio Steve! dal Brasile.
Best Wishes from the UK
This reminds me of liverpool it looks just like it 50s 60s and 70s with the terraced house's. It brought back some old memories. Great video 👍
Thank you.
I had family before I was born moved out of back to backs and into flats in Hulme
it wasn't a slum clearance, it was the biggest property grab in history, this happened across the country.
Replaced by system-built junk that became uninhabitable within 15-20 years. The contractors got away with it.
Great days. Born and brought up in moston 1960. First job, operating ICL system 4-72 😊
They certainly were fella !
There is only the one
Hi it’s Lorne from Toronto. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Great to meet you both . . . I really enjoyed our chat. Take care and safe travels.
Extra video Regards Janusz from Warsaw Poland
Cracking video!
Cheers - such a long time ago!
I enjoyed this film; it reminded me of my childhood but I do wish your video wasn’t called slum clearance. The school children in your photos were obviously well cared for, content and maybe with less anxieties than today’s youngsters. So many streets were inhabited by residents who kept their little two up two down houses warm and cosy, Neighbours could be your friends and in those times most people had relatives living nearby. Memories are about summer evenings spent sitting on your doorstep, chatting with your neighbours while watching the kids playing in the street. In fact it was a true functioning community. It’s also a pity that the last minute effort to record the streets meant that some photos in Manchester archive collections were taken during the demolition period and don’t reflect the proud tidy streets with their washed doorsteps which were so common a few years previous to the demolition.
It’s running around 16 - 19*C Sunny & breezy. Beats the UK for sure.
Stunning views. How was the outside temperature? I seem to get mixed info, because some tourists are with T-shirts and some with winter jackets ....
The locals are those with jackets 😂 Thise with T-shirts are the holiday makers 👍
@@stevescamera gotcha :) so, pack for spring. thanks !
Loved Malta.
@@gillianbartlett3665 I love the place too 👌🇲🇹
Malta's average yearly temperature is 21 centegrade. Best time to visit (in my view) is mid April to May and September to October. June, July, August are the hot months, and winter months are very mild.
My gran lived 4th floor Brook house
Rise flats were a common design around Manchester Heywood House, Brook House, Greenwood House etc
Hi Steve, we had a lovely cocktail in the sun on our first day thanks to your generosity! Have a great time in Malta all the best Abi & Jamie(easyJet flight friends)
You’re very welcome - such a hard-working, ambitious couple. It was lovely meeting you both. Have a super weekend 👌
Hotel room looks great,what hotel was it

@@lisaroberts8739 excuse the delay in replying. I stayed at the AX ODYC Qawra.
Absolutely wonderful
Thank you - over 60 years ago - where does the time go?
Fabulous video.
Thank you Brenda Regards Steve
I lived in a 2 up 2 down in Salford. Cockroaches came with the house. When I told my grandson that our toilet was out the back he said “what, in the garage” 😂😂
Made me chuckle that 😂 I remember the house had a fumigation because of that problem!!
Same as me…lower broughton…when we moved in 1967 into a high rise flat our mam thought we were dead posh cause we had an inside toilet,a bathroom and running hot water
Thanks for this. You’ll laugh when I tell you that I enjoyed listening to an accent with the same inflections as my own or Buzz Hawkins “Billy Bradshaw”. He came from Ancoats, so Real Manchester too.
Glad you enjoyed it! All seems like yesterday 😃
Nowadays we call them “slums” and they did need to be updated or cleared, but have you noticed how, in your photos how beautifully clean and cared for they are with no litter cluttering the pavements and streets. I was born and bred next to Christ Church near Bradford Pit and photos of streets there up to the 1950’s show similar tidiness. However, in the 1960’s official photos were taken with an eye for historical reference, but these photos were taken during the time when families had gone, or 🏚️were being moved out of Bradford, Beswick and Openshaw etc and those photos that were taken at that time don’t reflect the pride of the generations of earlier previous tenants. I could cry when I see photos my old street that were taken after we left. And for those of you who weren’t even born then, I can assure you that, Yes, nearly all housewives really did wash and stone their doorsteps and flags (paving slabs) each week.😮
I remember our stones came from the rag & bone man. A very different era for sure.
So true.
@@Angusmum I’ve done a few reminiscing videos if you look back. Re- 11plus, work etc Regards
Brought back some memories, dead right! I recognised Central Grammar (I was there in the sixties), was the primary school the one in Varna Street?
Hi there Robert The school was Armitage St in Ardwick.
YOU TOUGHT ME IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Merry Christmas 🎄
And all the best to you too 🎄🥂
The photo of the football team at 2 minutes. I assume its Central grammar ? Is that Rod McCord back row third from left ?
No it isn’t ⚽️
@@stevescamera do you know the guys name then . It definitely looks like Rod. Thanks
@@mikemorrow2184 his surname is Lichfield, our goalkeeper, and he went on to play semi pro with Droylsden FC - he was a top rugby player too.
Thanks Steve . One more question. What year was it ?
It’s 67/68 - about the time I left. The name had changed from grammar school to comprehensive around that time
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Mike - as I’ve got older I do like reminiscing 👍
Enjoy steve' have a wonderful time enjoying listening to you hear😊
Cheers Brian . . . have a super Christmas 🎄
those place should have been demolished a 100 years before they were.. they were awfull .. a disgrace.....great people but please... there was NOTHING nice about those slums
As a kid I always thought Brook House Flats looked decent enough
Agreed, and they were all that most people could afford to live in on the low wages of the day.
Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Steve, When were you at ICL West Gorton, I was there 1974 to 1979 when we then moved to Ashton
1971 - I worked for the University but was based there whilst the Computer Centre was being built opposite Manchester Museum fella.
Hi I worked in systems commissioning during those exact dates, then moved back to W. Gorton to join the design dept. Lived in Openshaw up to age of eight, without a bathroom too. Happy days though.
@@bobt6598 life is much different nowadays
@bobt6598 Hi Bob, my father Henry Pollard worked in commissioning too. He was a power supply engineer on 1900's, I was in supply chain in the old building
@@Bucina62I worked in power supply test, when I started, and worked closely with Henry. He was a great mentor. If I remember correctly, we shared the nighttime and weekend telephone standby rota for supporting the S3 OCP. Bought my first old banger car with the proceeds from that.
Tastefully done Steve - Enjoy 🇬🇧🌹
All done on my phone 😂 so please forgive the production levels 👍
I was born and grew up next door in Openshaw during the 60's. Great memories of playing on Blacky Brook at the end of Clayton lane. The White wall which was the railway and the college. How we were blessed to be born during that era, We did not have much, but we were happy and safe.
The were better times for sure. I took my 11plus at Openshaw Technical College.
lived on store street next to the drovers pub, hello brother.
