Yep, that's what the working class parts of Manchester used to look like when I lived there in the 1960s. Most of the terrace houses, particularly the more decrepit looking ones, will have fallen victim to redevelopment by now and were replaced with something more modern and just as cheapo. A couple of my friends used to live in such terrace houses. You entered from the street through the door directly into the living room. People tried their best to make them comfortable, but the upkeep was terrible to do. The roofs tended to leak, especially after a storm, the drains were always clogging up, the windows were draughty, the frames rotten, and cockroaches and rats were a common sight.
Great video, I was born in Miles Platting, moved to Openshaw Village when it was first built in 77/78, I was only 5/6, had to move when the council demolished all the terraced houses at the top end of Bradford Road back to Sandal Street. Moved to Higher Broughton in 92 ( 1st Wife ), now in Horwich on the other side of Bolton ( 2nd Wife 😂 ) My Mum was born on Bank Street, Clayton and Dad was Collyhurst Thank You, brought back some real happy memories.
