![Salford Precinct Walking Tour [4k]](/img/tr.png)
The old Salford Preicent 70s had much more character about it. Now it's full of cheap poundshops and no market stalls. Used to remember Zodiacs for toys, Marks and Spencers, Woolworths, Dixons and Tandys to name a few.
Me too. Went there every week as a kid. 55 now.
Zodiac Toys was where Holland and Barrets is now.
McCalls sports shop too
Let's not forget the riots...
I never knew there was more than one Zodiacs toy shop, I only knew the one in Stretford Arndale. An odd thing to learn so long after they've gone out of business.
I lived on the precinct from 71-85, Edgehill close although did still go on it from time to time till around 88/89. Can’t believe how much it has changed in the years. There was so much more choice of shops plus the market and the food hall and the precinct were so lively and so much nicer. Such a shame how it’s gone to what it’s like now. Had great memories of the precinct.
Hi Paul we live on there to about 69_76 now gone.
@@jamesmagee890 Hi James, yeah I had a drive down there few months back couldn’t believe how much it had changed..
Salford is a massive red area of Greater Manchester. The city of Salford is wall to wall red, very few City fans live there. My dad's family are Failsworth and New Moston (North Manchester), which North Manchester is massive Man Utd area as well. Mancunians and Salfordians, twin cities, and brother's they are 🙂
I was born in 1952 and grew up in my early years in Salford. First on Broadway, over from the docks. Then on Marple Street, then Peel Street. There were shops on every corner, and more on Ella Street, Broad Street, Cross Lane with the market on the old racecourse, and Regent Road. The streets were full of life, people meeting and talking, so crime-free that people didn't need to bother to lock their doors. Then came the "developers" and Salford Stalinist Council. And created a cold, inhuman, crime-ridden nightmare. I live a long way from there now. And feel very sad about the destruction of vibrant communities and the fostering of crime.
Remember the Flat Iron pub and kids little rides on there as a kid/ teenager. 55 now. All changed.
Used to go on a bus from the flat iron to United aways mid to late 80s cheetham hill myself
brave of you to walk in salford with your phone in your hand.loved the video.stay safe my friend.
Most Salfordians are less insane than Mancunians. But it has a higher density of chavs.
I miss the old Salford Precinct, remember as a child going to Woolworths, they had the old market stalls and even a cafe (I forget the name, think it only a small one)
Me too
Aged 55 now.
Kingfisher?
@Mark Nah the area is pretty rubbish. And depending where around it you live, too many scallies. However, at least Salfordians are down to Earth generally, instead of all that "Manchester is brill" nonsense Mancunians did during the riots.
Yeah buddy 👍
@CHRISTIAN SOLDIER. yeah they had the market at the back where aldi is now in the 90s/2000s. I might do a bit more round that area soon 👍
Used to frequent this place back in the 70s and 80s when I lived in Salford. Had a bit of a bad rep in the late 80s and 90s and was pretty much a no go area.
Some observations...
Pure Gym used to be Tescos, Subway used to be Lunnpoly Travel Agents, Home Bargains used to be Woolworths, Wilko used to be Marks & Spencers, Mother Hubbards used to be Burger King, Save a Lot used to be John Menzies, Rose Beauty used to be All Sports and where The Fragrance shop is located is a later re-build from back in the early 90s before then it used to house a funky clothes shop called Souls which had curved red and black glass panels.
Thank you for watching! I've never had any problems but some people still say it's a little rough. It's a real local community shopping area👍
Holland and Barretts used to be Zodiacs Toys, Argos used to be Pound Stretchers, Costa used to be Currys, Pound Land used to be Co op, Furniture and Electrical used to be Green shield stamps adjoined it, The Works used to be Dolcis and Loyds. Eye Line optitions used to be Freeman Hardy Willis, Cafe Dolce used to be Dixons, Wynsors used to be the entrance for the bigger Boots, Hair and Beauty used to be Tandys.
Lived across the road at Churchill court late 80s, early 90s. Could see the Strangeways riots from the living room window - very entertaining. I'm sure Iceland used to be H Samuel.
Living in nearby Prestwich, I've been there maybe a couple of hundred times over the decades, usually to Wilkinsons, and maybe the Halifax and Argos. Despite many of the comments, I've never felt threatened, or thought twice about going. Sad that the best shops have gone, particularly Wilko, but that's the story everywhere. Very thorough walkthrough and video.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. There is some decent shops there thats for sure, sad to see wilkos go.
I used to go there from the time it originally opened. At that time, all of those streets, or whatever you call them were open to the elements. The floor was sort of shiny red brick. I recall Tesco and after that closed, one corner became Longlife car accessory shop - I worked there. I used to cut through there almost every night on my way home. I never once had any problems and always felt safe. One night, a window was put through at Dixons and an expensive camera or something was stolen. The following day, the enterprising store manager got some white window paint and wrote on the glass "Someone just couldn't wait to get hold of one of our bargains..." I'm sure there was a Paperchase or something like that where I used to buy my singles from a cool-looking lad who used to wear sunglasses indoors lol and the Keystone pub where a pint of bitter was 14p. It was all exciting and new and smelled of fresh concrete back then. I see Boots and The Nationwide are still in exactly the same place and wow, the Post Office is still there.
Great memories 👍 thanks for watching!
Rose Beauty wasn't Allsports, i worked at Allsports for a number of years, Rose Beauty was McCalls sports.
Was a student back in mid 80s staying opposite the precinct at Poplar/Larch Court if anyone remembers the names (now demolished). Used to depend on Tesco's for groceries which was located inside the shopping centre. Tks for the memories
We used to live in popular court from 85/86 till 1990... i went to broadwalk primary school.
I used to always be on there in the 70's and 80's, what a dump it is now.
Nice to see not to much has changed! 😁 Great place to shop for some bargins. Great video guys keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you for watching!
Wandering around Salford precinct like that, you're lucky someone didn't mug you for your camera and anything you had in your pockets. Salford is rough.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@my3rdeye896 you're welcome
Salford is full of down and outs now not. Genuine Salford people.
Great video, left in 2012, looks like it’s gone even more down hill, such a shame really, had so many memories, has never been the same since they demolished the market, stuck a Aldi there and built a big Tesco.
Nice looking place.
You're brave.. :) It's actually not that bad..
I used to live in the flats near the precinct near The Brass Handles.
Idgaf what anyone says i love Salford!!! Great video my friend!!! I haven't been to Salford for a long time but im planning to go for the day sometime soon!!!
Used to drink around there as a youth.....then down the drum..am sure there was a pub near the precky the woolpack?
I'm not sure but a lot of the old pubs are gone 👎 thanks for watching 🙂
Yes, The Woolpack on Belvedere Road. Gone now.
I think it shows a big difference between Salford and Manchester - in Manchester, there are videos of people being threatened and called nonces for "filming kids" when they've filmed outdoors; in Salford, there are loads of kids around as you're filming and nobody is going ape s***. Or did you have a hidden camera?
I agree with that statement but again it all depends on how you go about filming. I'm sure if I stood filming children for longer than I should. There would be something said about it, rightly so. I didn't have a hidden camera. I think you can have people shouting stuff anywhere it depends on that individual and the situation you're filming. Thanks for watching 👍
Love your walk in Manchester
Thanks for watching! Let us know if you have any requests
You can walk to media city in Salford quays.
That's on our list! 👍
Are you talking about this video? It was in Salford, not Manchester
Wow the shoezone still has Its old logo that’s good it’s the better logo
Shoezone has also gone now. I didn't even know, I went to where it used to be today to buy some insoles.
very lively, a hub for the local community yet and ugly 60s concrete jungle whose time has already passed away. a shame that salford city council does not pull it down and move all the shops to a crescent shaped square with a beautiful simple green as the focal point for the whole area.
I agree 👍 thanks for watching!
That would encourage the druggies and chavs
tip if you're in a hurry - you can cut through that Wilko to the other side if you don't have time to walk around that maze
They locked the rear doors recently.
Not anymore you can't.
Full of pound shops, charity shops, and cut price shops. Nothing selling quality items for people to aspire to. Mind you if there was it would get robbed.
People in Salford are not generally rich. I'm surprised the perfume shop didn't go bankrupt.
Notice there's no begging going on outside 💯
Looks like a different country now What a shame.
Ste smee and kelsey hahaha still arguing😂
Precienttt
Spent most of my early working career on Salford Precinct...it was a sh****le then and it' still a sh****le now.
I see my self on their 😹😹😹
You see yourself on their cats? You what?
atleast it isnt birmingham
Lousy place. You have to cross the road to the modern Tesco to use a normal free gents toilet
Yeah and the scruffy bastards don't wash their hands. I've been in that Tesco, washing ink off my hands - the amount of men who used the loos and didn't wash their hands (including some who used the cubicles) was vile.
@@rogueuniversities6866
The amount of men not washing there hands 🤣🤣 what are you the clock on the wall. How long did you stay in there watching other men take a piss??
Yikes
