Eccles had a great market. I remember as a kid hearing Eadie Barnes booming voice from the veg stall. My mum worked in one of her shops in Patricroft before I was born
I know people say them times were tough,but u didn't have the stress that we have today,when u wanted something u went out and earned it,food was better, people were better,Ur country was Ur own,it will never be the same again,what a pity.
Yes I'm a lot younger then you and I agree. I have all the modern vices and things that ate supposed to help us, but it's all an illusion. Proper friendship comes with people looking out for each other and having a nice and vibrant and happy community.
@chrisboyslimuk5186 This Country is buggerd so to speak (nice way of putting it) too Many Scumbags about. I certainly know what I'd do with em. We get ONE life, Live It. Take everyday has it comes because tomorrow is NEVER guaranteed.
@@MediaM30. I do agree with you. As my Mom would say “the country has gone to the dogs”. My recent experience in Hospital (I outed them in video yesterday) was absolutely appalling. Thank you so much for this Video. They really were “the good old days!” ❤
i remember me dad taking us to see the submarines when they passed our house at 75a peel green. road spent many a days watching the battle ships coming down the canal in the late 70's, running up woodyard road, we watched those chimneys come down from r house, use to get marbles from that place, emigrated to Canada in 81 but still come back to where i was brought up, cheers mate for the pics i have so many pictures
Some great memories on there. I was born in Eccles and Pat hospital in 1952, lived in Boardman Street until we moved to Brookhouse in 1955 when it was built. Lived there until I left to get married and visited my parents until they got old and moved away around 2004. I had a very happy childhood and Eccles was a great place to grow up, not too big and not too small and with the big world of Mahchester to explore as I got older. Makes me feel sad, happy and grateful all at the same time.
I was born in Salford and after we moved to Little Hulton I would cycle to Eccles market every Saturday to work on a carpet stall. Thanks for posting such brilliant images 🙂
I was born in 84 and I remember my nana taking me Eccles market all the time, she used to get me second hand mega drive games some of my fondest memories. Thank you ever so much for the video.
I'm glad you like my video. Please Subscribe to my channel, and spread the word I need all the support I can get to get to the magic 500 subscribers I'm currently on 331. New videos added all the time.
We never knew what we had till we lost it. Raised in Patricroft in the 60s. Getting chased by Alf the Parky on Ivy St park. The Court School of Dancing every weekend. Snakebites on the grass outside the Cross Keys. Darts nights round all the Joey Holt pubs. Chips, peas n fried egg from Johnny Liu's chippy on Green Lane. Being a waiter upstairs at the British Leg Iron when Peter n Vera had it. Me n my mate working in Chi Fok's chippy on Trafford Rd. Eeeeh I could go on all night............ happy daze, gone for ever
The pubs that are no longer open. The two Star Inns, one on Liverpool Road, now flats, and the other in the centre, now a dentist. The Golden Cross, The Ship Canal, and the Church Inn, all now demolished. The Golden Lion, now a shop, and the Royal Oak next to it, sitting empty. 😢
Igrew up in Ellesmere park having moved from Ordsall.. great place to live.. my brother was an officer at Green Lane Police Station and I worked at GEC in Trafford park..great days..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And thanks for stopping by my Channel I will be putting a video photo slideshow on later of The Death of Old Eccles. Hope you will stop by and have a look.
I was born in 1963 this video including all the photographs have brought back a lot of good memories of my hometown. At 4.57 there is a still image of Lane End and the houses that have been demolished our house was just where the substation now stands it was number 13 and the last one beyond the row that still stand's. 3 houses were demolished on that row obviously including ours. I visit a couple of times a year as most of my siblings still live there. I recently walked around the precinct and the town centre what a mess. Salford council have ruined what was a lovely market town. I know lots of town's have suffered decline but Eccles is pretty much a Ghost town. Can the Eccles people not demand for Salford to be gotten ridden of as the Guardian of the town as they have done nothing of any good! Great video and photos by the way thankyou for posting this here and well done.
Salford City Council are regenerating the area. The carpark is being demolished and there are spending millions on it, work starts June 2024. The town has become overcome with Shoplifters, Druggies and Beggers. But in the plans I believe a new task force is to be set up between Salford Council and GMP to rid the town of them all and to come down hard on the people and businesses that buy from these Shoplifters. I honestly believe Eccles the Old Eccles is on its way back.
@@MediaM30 I do hope you are right as what I saw when I visited wasn't very pleasant. I look forward to hopefully seeing a new video of yours about the rejuvenated Eccles and thanks again for the memories.
I used to drive both the 12 and the 8 from Victoria to Bolton - buses came out of Salford City Bus Garage Frederick Road. Before that I worked for Marks & Spencer in the newly built Salford City Shopping Centre, built on the Old Hanky Park area.
Was born in 1985 and lived behind the Rainbow Bingo near Green Lane police station, remember the old bus station and the orange buses! Eccles is so different now to what it was
Used to live on Salford precinct and get them buses 64/66 to school near weaste lane from 76-81. Brings back memories of going into Eccles when younger and drinking round there in my early 20’s . Some great nights in silver screen and Talk of the north. Seem to remember somebody telling me if you walked from the first pub at Patricroft to Eccles precinct there was over 25 pubs along the route and some people tried to drink a pint or half in each one of them on a pub crawl.. 😂😂😂 Also used to play football on brookehouse playing fields in Eccles, that was when the pitches were mud baths most of the time.. lol great memories.
Who remembers the gentleman walking around the market and jingling change in his pocket and saying ... Don't forget your razor blades 10 PENCE a pack or blades that that jingle has stayed in my mind since I was knee high to a grasshopper it was in the 70s
Many Thanks for the comments. I also remember the 554 Bus there was also a 127 and the 500 Airport Express Bus, I also believe there was something called a Daly Bus which was based on Barton Lane in Eccles.
Yes, the long gone 500 express was diverted to service the Trafford Centre ( As was the 554 ). The 500 ran over the Manchester Ship Canal bridge and along the motorway to Worsley, then it followed the same route as the 554 (With limited stops) to Bolton.
@@MediaM30 I'm not sure I remember Daly Bus, but I think they would have probably been only mini buses - There's a vehicle compound on Barton Lane now used as an ambulance station, I'm guessing they would have been based there when they were in operation.
Actually you are not to far away they were based just across the road where the The Ship Pub used to be and the derelict land which is now Council Flats.
Met some Sound people from Salford on Holiday ,Work ,and yer Prison always been Boss with me didn't matter to them I was Scouser Good people from Salford
@2:11 - That building that looks like a Nissan hut was a cafe' adjacent to the bus station, I remember my parents taking me there many years ago when I was a kid.
The little blue cafe on the market was a woodern hut my mum used to work there when I was a kid. She was only ment to cover one Saturday morning shift and she ended up being there over 9 years.
Wagon and horses is that peel green, I'm not from Salford but use to commute there from Rochdale in the 1980s. think we use to have our works Christmas meal there.
Superb video, been looking for a lot of images that were shown in the video......play Inn for one...... Great memories and great pictures, love it......
Been to quite a few of those pubs in tow with my dad on the way to somewhere. Pop and crisp whilst he had a bitter. I think they painted up some of those old red buses to orange during the changeover. Some of them ran around near Wigan, Leigh.
Used to catch the 554 from Worsley to go to Eccles precinct in the 60,s to go to the Green Shield Stamp shop with my Mum. Watched the whole video hoping for a glimpse of it but never mind, some great images in there. Well done.
No question about it - - Eccles has gone so desperately downhill in the last 40 years that every council during that time to date should be thrown in jail for the contempt they have shown to the ppl of Eccles & Salford.
Skyeye, the 127/128 bus you refer to was ran by Shearings and operated between Cadishead/Glazebrook to Manchester via Eccles.There was also a number 10 service to Warrington, now partly replaced by the 100.
@11:29 - The long defunct 20 Eccles - Clifton service seen here run by the also defunct Eccles Greys bus company -it used to run along Green Lane past the police station between Paticroft and Monton.
I was an apprentice in the 60s working in Ancoats, Manchester. i lived at the Toc H hostel, Oakfield, 1 Eccles Old Road. Your video has brought back many happy memories. Why on earth did they knock down perfectly good buildings, and replace them with ones that lasted for twenty years, if your lucky?
@Blazing Saddles Manchester becoming Greater Manchester who have always been jealous of Salford. They hate it that Old Trafford, Man United, The Docks, Granada TV and now Salford Quays, BBC, ITV etc. are all there.
@Blazing Saddles I was referring to Manchester City Council being jealous. I doubt whether the good people of Manchester have a jealous bone in their multiple bodies, certainly not any of the ones I know, and that is quite a few!
They did feed us at the Toc H hostel, but on the occasions when I stayed over a weekend I used to like going to the UCP Tripe shop on Broad Street. i treated myself on a Saturday afternoon to a couple of savoury ducks (meatballs).
I hate that they got rid of the beautiful cinema, that would have been a Fantastic thing to keep and turn into the new Morrisons, a Morrisons with a beautiful entrance door, that would be heaven, haha
The Packet House was famous for selling a good old pint of Boddingtons Bitter. I do believe they still sell Boddingtons but its not the same has it used to be, but hey what is these days.
@@MediaM30 Thank you,. Yes indeed everything has changed I’m pleasantly surprised the Packet is still even going let alone continuing with selling Boddingtons.
I used to go in there around the same time as you, 1973 to 75. Bill kept the best pint of Boddies I've ever had and there was a lot of good Boddies around in those days. I used to go in with Eddie Holt, Bob Pearce and Ian Darby.
I used to get the 66 and 64 bus a lot and worked for a while at Longlife car spares shop in Eccles Precinct. What was that pub - Albert Edward or Stinking Stocking or something?
Yes The Albert Edward went by many names including "Stinking Stocking" the pub is still there but if you are caught swearing or using your mobile phone in there you are barred from the premises.
Yes the 110 run briefly by First Manchester from Manchester Shudehill to The Trafford Centre, going down Trafford Road in Eccles. This has now been took over by Go North Wests 52 Service (The Orbits) Which go to Cheetham Hill and Failsworth.
The colour photographs of Eccles market were taken by my father, George Shepherd and are copyright protected. I have a no use without permission clause on all his images. I am happy for you to use them if you can credit George Shepherd in the title of your video, thank you.
Hi I understand where your coming from but none of these Images have any Copyrighted logos on them, hence the reason why they have been used. Any number of people could have took the same image that is why Watermarking should be used. I don't make any money out of any of my Videos and with the video being on here now for well over a year I'm not sure what you want me to do. I'm not here to steal anybodies work but has there is No Copyright Logo or Watermarking on it what would you like me to do.
@@MediaM30 I posted the photos a number of years ago on my private facebook page so they must have been lifted from there at some point and have been shared - because they are such fabulous photos. I wouldn’t have put a watermark on them - If you could credit my Dad George Shepherd in your video title with that particular colour set from Eccles Market that would be great, thank you
Once the video is on there it can't be edited. There are Two options, I've put a Tag in the settings to mention George Shepherd and I can add is name into the video title, that is one option or the second option is to permanently delete the video. These photos have been handed to me with no markings on them and I can assure you they have not been ripped from Facebook has stated. Which option would you like me to go with. I really don't need the stress so I'm happy doing whatever.
I've added George's Name to the video title, if your not happy with this then I will delete the video if you want me to. Don't need the hassle in my life at the moment. Thanks.
The front is being kept and incorporated into the new build for the Luxury Apartments, so at least a bit of this beautiful building lives on in a new life.
Everything does in black and white, but I assure you there was plenty of colour around. It was positively pychodelic even in the early sixties, although they only cleaned up the buildings a lot later.
Brought up in weaste during the seventies and eighties I drive through Eccles everyday on way home from work it’s completely different area to what it was I can’t believe Salford council has run it down to what it is today sad 🥲

I'm not here to steal anybodies work but has there is No Copyright Logo or Watermarking on it what would you like me to do.
@@MediaM30 I posted the photos a number of years ago on my private facebook page so they must have been lifted from there at some point and have been shared - because they are such fabulous photos. I wouldn’t have put a watermark on them - If you could credit my Dad George Shepherd in your video title with that particular colour set from Eccles Market that would be great, thank you
Once the video is on there it can't be edited. There are Two options, I've put a Tag in the settings to mention George Shepherd and I can add is name into the video title, that is one option or the second option is to permanently delete the video. These photos have been handed to me with no markings on them and I can assure you they have not been ripped from Facebook has stated. Which option would you like me to go with. I really don't need the stress so I'm happy doing whatever.
I've added George's Name to the video title, if your not happy with this then I will delete the video if you want me to. Don't need the hassle in my life at the moment. Thanks.

The front is being kept and incorporated into the new build for the Luxury Apartments, so at least a bit of this beautiful building lives on in a new life.

wot a grim collection of grime
What's a collection of grime
Dreary looking joints
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Everything does in black and white, but I assure you there was plenty of colour around. It was positively pychodelic even in the early sixties, although they only cleaned up the buildings a lot later.
No Audio, You mad ?? Fail
You don't like, simple don't watch. Keep your nasty comments to yourself. Your comment has been reported to UA-cam. Goodnight.
