I remember Manchester back in the 1970s and eating at Wimpys with my Mother after she finished work at Granada Television. Manchester seemed much slower back then,very fond memories I keep dear.
I doubt many people have seen this but it is great! Lovely to see how everything has changed. Wish they did something with the old building in the start of the video, it’s still stands there derelict.
That old building next to the bus stop at the beginning of the video was the old Library in Cheetham Hill. It is now derelict and destroyed inside even though it was a listed building.
I was born that year (in November) & Remember the old sights very well like the old Footbridge crossing Corporation Street linking the Arndale Centre & M&S before it was bombed out by the IRA in 1996, Cannon Street & the Arndale Bus Station, also closed down as a result of the IRA.
Back when Cheetham Hill Road was right and proper, old school motors and buses iconic to Manchester IMHO! I was living in Wythenshawe (and still do!) and turned 3 years old in August 1982!
Oh my days!!!!....at 0:20 the old orange & white GM Buses. I remember the 82/83 & 147 that took you to Oldham from outside what is now the Cash Generator. They kept them til the mid/late 90's. 9 yrs after this footage around 1991 we also got the bee-line red-roofed busses with the yellow bodies competing with GM....they didn't last against GM. I wish the Ozzie-guy that filmed this back then could've kept filming when he got off the bus, it would've been like a time-portal had opened up....I'd go back and stay there, it looked miles better, and so did the normal people....
Just look how English it was take that same bus ride today and you would not know where you are, Even the city centre skyline was free of glass lego boxes.
I remember Manchester Arndale bus station very well. I caught the 34 GM Express to Liverpool from there. Also 32 to Wigan. 26 to Leigh and 12 to Bolton went from the same stop, l live in US now. A lot of memories.
Although the building shown was called "Crumpsall Library", it was in Cheetham. "Bury Old Road" changes its name to "Cheetham Hill Rd" when it leaves Crumpsall.
LIKE.LOOKING AT MANCHESTER AGAIN . LAST APRIL 7 2014 RETURNED FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE GOING TO YORK ..USE TO WORK FOR MANCHESTER TRANSPORT……WISH ALL HAPPY EASTER. FROM MELBOURNE..
Crumpsall is about a mile north near North Manchester General Hospital. I lived there briefly and it was grim up north but went back recently and much improved.
By any chance would you object to me using a few seconds of this video in a film I'm working on? I'm doing my Masters project on Manchester in the 1980s and could do with some shots like this.
If you worked at piccadilly radio in 1982, then maybe you could tell me where about's piccadilly records was in piccadilly gardens around this time! I cannot find anyone with any pictures or documentation on this, even the current staff at piccadilly records (some of which have worked there for 30 years or more!) have no pictures of where it was situated in the parade of shops at the gardens bus station! Also what was the record shops connection with edwin p lees?!
It was on Parker Street at ground level beneath Piccadilly Plaza. I recall it was in the middle where the buses pull up. It moved in about 1990 to Brown Street then to its present location on Oldham Street.
I may have bought the Sharp at Dixons? I was in Manchester for several months back then......there are some early Australian Television segments on the Favenchi Channel you have some really great clips on line
thanks so much for your comment...absolutely right...my then VCR was a sharp....most primitive at the time........you have some beaut clips on your channel!
Jawad Akhtar Yes true, and still in 2020, even though there’s lots of new buildings and new money coming from the city centre, up Cheethamhill road all the way up to The Fort.
Sorry but your title is wrong. You are not getting a bus from Crumpsall you are getting a bus from Cheetham Hill (outside the library), Crumpsall 1 mile further to the east. Bus from Crumpsall was the 26 or 88.... Born and Bred on Lansdowne Rd Crumpsall x
From that exact spot virtually it’s around 6 mins to lansdowne road …also if you cross the road the entry at the side of the old timpsons ,then mays pawn shop now estate agents..is the border of broughton…all three basically meet..a bit of a Bermuda Triangle let’s say…and if you lived on lansdown in the 90s I probably delivered your mail.!crumpsall was lovely then a well sought after area.
@@jasonmullaley3234 Used to be from The Gardeners Arms, Moston , to Manchester. At least in those days it was. I could either take that for the scenic route or the 88 from Bogart Hole Clough on Charlestown Road to Manchester for the more direct route. I lived in Blackley for most of my life.
An ancient manual ticket machine. I bet you needed to pay "Exact Fare Please" on Msnchedter corporstion bus services back then. Bring back Corporation buses all over the UK. It waa much more enjoyable to travel than it is today and you didn't lose your local bus aervice or under threat of losing your local bus service if it hasn't already been lost.
Great nostalgique clip. Shame aboutt my spelling lol but I live in c/hill. Lots more white people back then, now a TV spotlight for interracial living side by side. We are now a good advert for community spirit. Also I saw quite a few of the old buses painted orange and white, the livery for the old SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire) buses.

JimmyJagg I lived there for 38 years .You really should know what you are saying in your own videos but I will remind you. You were turning into Coke street and a Jewish man was crossing in front of you and you make the comment in your car that he is one of the chosen few.
stretchmorgan No you weren’t in your original comment which I was referring to you only mentioned the hair covering and which I pointed out was practical and not cultural
i LOVE this! Everything about it ...seeing the people...their clothes...the cars,...brilliant!!!

I feel old watching this. Brings back some good memories though.
That isn't Crumpsall, its Cheetham Hill on Bury Old Road to Manchester Centre
Gosh I 41 years ago doesn’t the years go fast I remember these buses 🚌!!!!!
Used to drive the GM buses up and down there out of Queens Rd Depot!!🙂
I doubt many people have seen this but it is great! Lovely to see how everything has changed. Wish they did something with the old building in the start of the video, it’s still stands there derelict.

That's Crumpsall Manchester in the past in 1982 about 39 years ago. And this one is Cheetham Hill.

Brilliant, I know all that road like the back of my hand. Recorded on a july day in Manchester 😉
love it - i was 21...and living there - great familiar memories!!
Theresa Murphy It’s completely changed since then, none of that community left. There descendants have moved out and been replaced.
Fascinating, thank you!
valuable historical footage!

The Esso on cheetham hill roads still there I see
Absolutely fantastic to see this. I was born in Salford right at the beginning of 1982.
Very enjoyable. If you had a video camera in those everyone thought you were "from the telly". Video was THE in thing
Although the building shown was called "Crumpsall Library", it was in Cheetham. "Bury Old Road" changes its name to "Cheetham Hill Rd" when it leaves Crumpsall.
brill.....brings back memories......
Nice handling of the semi-auto gearbox by the driver. No pausing at all between shifts, just how I remember.
The number 35 to Bury? I went to Moston College that year, not far from Crumpsall. Glorious old days 🙂

Used to get the 166 from Crumpsall hospital near the news agents to school in Moston you could smoke upstairs
It's from c/hill not crumpsall,and it's c/hill rd.not bury old.
Sharp were based in Manchester if I remember? Possible in Newton Heath.
Yes they were, near Oldham Road, in the area that is now called Central Park :)
You can view the same spot if you put "Manchester M8 9JN" into Google Maps.
Shame the vid stopped when it did you were about to pass a pub called the Issac Newton and i would have been in there working back in 82.
Crumpsall is about a mile north near North Manchester General Hospital. I lived there briefly and it was grim up north but went back recently and much improved.
I live there now!
More like 3 miles to the north. Cheetham Hill comes after 2 miles
Wow

Stone roses
outstanding video. Lots of memories, amazing that it nearly all looks the same down cheetham hill road.
Jawad Akhtar Yes true, and still in 2020, even though there’s lots of new buildings and new money coming from the city centre, up Cheethamhill road all the way up to The Fort.
More buses then..NOW just the 135 for some living north of where filmed ...
Wonderful footage. I love Manchester. Were you living there?
really enjoyed thanks for that...where did you exactly start your journey from?
Malik Munawwar Khan cheetham hill. Outside the old library

Crumpsall isn’t a mile from there what are you talking about?
Takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Lansdowne Road to Cheetham Hill Parade, no way could it be a mile lol

The old Almex Ticket Machine.

That bus is choc full of old ladies. They all cover their hair which is kid of interesting culturally speaking.
stretchmorgan It wasn’t cultural but practical from getting their perms wet.
@@cityzens634 Perming your hair & covering it up with a scarf definitely counts as a cultural practice.
