- Ashton Manchester. Everyone has told me this town has not had any investment for years and that nearly all the pubs have either closed or been boarded up! I walk around and see the decay on the buildings of this forgotten Manchester town...Join me as I get in the few remaining pubs in the area!

I'll never not find it entertaining when you say 'let's get in here and see what's kicking off' and you walk in to 2 old men sitting at the bar. 😅 Love it.
one day and old geezer will hit me....then i'll stop making vids!
@@honestplaces 🤣🤣🤣 I will be eating my words then! 🤣 Always enjoy your videos 👍
@@jenstone9308 🤣🤣 cheers
I had trouble understanding the lady, but I think she said it’s an old man pub.
@@honestplaces It is what it is pal😂
As someone brought up in Manchester, yes, it's definitely a bit rough but you can't beat the people. Very friendly bunch.
Ashton is like everywhere else it depends on which part you are in.
The centre is run down and needs work
If these pubs are surviving on drinkers in their 60's and smokers, they aren't going to survive this decade. Your videos are a historical account of a disappearing world.
Spot on !
The decline in our pubs is mirroring the gradual decline of the country
@@Northumberlandmag That makes no sense.. Most younger people don't drink/smoke anymore; the same in the US, bars arent as common as they used to be. The decline of the country is due to other issues.. UK "peaked" in capitalism.. Just as the US, and other countries that use the same model.. Now once you peak... it falls.
@@Northumberlandmagit’s not gradual now, it’s terminal and acute
Our population is increasing due to immigration. The problem for the pub industry is thst most of these immigrants don't drink.
Spot on, I mentioned this on another recent honest places vid. These are like time capsule videos, whatever your thoughts on the reasoning the reality is the traditional British pub is nearly finished and I don’t see any way back. Only those with a reliance on their food offerings will survive.
Remember working early doors as a youngster. It’s the old fellas that get you. Broken, sat alone, with only a pint for company. I used to try and imagine what their story was. Maybe they were happy just to get out the house for a few hours and a bit of peace and quiet. Or maybe there was no one to go back to now. Who knows. I’d always try and strike up a conversation though, some of the most interesting people I met whilst working behind the bar - got a lot more sense out of them than the younger crowd later on. Probably better places they could have been, but it’s hard to change the habits of a life time. At least they had somewhere to go.
Same story today....always have no phone on their own. Deffo to get out the house and hopefully bump into old pals
And they grew up in a country where nothing was handed to you .and even when it started most where 2 pence over on there war pension to get help .like,y mum n dad both done the whole war start to finish .
Sad.
rip loads of my them
That's how I could have ended up if not for the fact I don't smoke or drink. Which means I'm stuck at home by myself and I'm not even that old yet. I just turned 40 and for some reason, don't ask me how but my face has hardly changed in 20 years so people still think I'm some snot nosed kid when I'm older than them and living with a crippling injury that ruined my life and left me in excruciating pain all day every day. Actually being stuck in a pub sounds awful. When your back is hurt, you realize how painfully uncomfortable most chair are. Bar stools look like torture devices to me.
Ahhh Ashton, worked around there for 6 years now and believe me a pint after work their is never a dull moment just friendly staff and down to earth people.
my home town, the people here are really kind, salt of the earth
How Oasis can justify standing tickets for 450 quid and it looks like half of Manchester cant afford a loaf of bread. World is fcuked.
Yea but it is what it is. Anyway, best crack on
It's a free market. Oasis can justify selling tickets for 450 quid if people buy them. Perhaps it's just you who are fcuked
People pay though so much have money

Thanks for the tour, brings back loads of memories, I’m 60 now but me and my wife used to go out drinking around Ashton and StalyVagas in our Teens / Twenties. Both had a great vibe at the weekends. It’s a shame now for these little towns, not many people have the spare money to go out drinking regularly. It’s a pity the Spread Eagle is no longer around!!
Ashton in the 80s and 90s was THE place to go . Every pub was banging Thursday to Sunday, 8 night clubs , you could go out 3 nights on pub crawls and not go in the same pubs !! Top memories.
Ashton has never been the place to go. Ever. Utterly depressing shite hovel.
Agreed... I felt so mad watching this vblog putting Ashton down. So lucky to live in the era when it was thriving. Great tmes. Xx
England forgot how to procreate, and now there's no more youth. Very sad.
Ashton was a great night out up until the mid 00's i'd say. Then Stalybridge and Oldham became more popular, and Ashton was forgotten, a real shame.
The one way system pub crawl was better than anything. It was 25+ years ago and I remember like it was yesterday, despite being plastered at the time!
I've lived in Ashton all my life (50 yrs) it used to be a great place to shop, eat, drink, with plenty going on. Fast forward to today, the market is a shambles, and the pubs and clubs are all closed, no decent restaurants, shops shut. It's a complete dump.
I worked in Sparx and Heroes way back when it was the place to be; I think that was when it peaked.
@@markwilson9061 i got smashed in there a few times back in the 90s. I agree that was the peak of Ashton, then even went to stalyvagas.
Yes, I remember my parents taking me there for a day out (from Stockport)
Only decent restaurant is Lily's.
Used to be a crackin night out in Ashton it's a shame it's gone downhill, got some good memories of the place
As someone who enjoys a bit of urban exploration, i enjoy seeing the decaying buildings, there is beauty in decay, another great video.😎
No beauty in decay,looks third world thanks labour and tory.
To be fair, m8, I like a bit of shabby-chic myself. However, this is just shabby.
i live down the road in stockport which feels a bit fresher getting the bus to ashton always felt like arriving to another world from fifty years ago haha 😂 everything just older and ruffer
Man, ... I love England. So sorry things are breaking down so fast. Things here on the mainland don't look too cosy either. Writing these lines from Germany, structures are breaking down fast, too. Stay strong over there
This is what defines the West currently, and its gonna be a lot worse.
Down the road is Openshaw. Before 1979, Openshaw had a lot of heavy industries dotted around, steelworks etc. A lot of jobs, good money, and pubs galore. These industries employed men and women from all over East Manchester including Ashton/Tameside. The 1979 general election seen the Thatcher government come to power and that's when the likes of Openshaw, Audenshaw, Gorton, Ashton etc were turned upside down. The country went into a recession, mass redundancies, industries closed down and moved abroad, and unemployment went up. Hardly any money was invested in East Manchester. Towns were effectively abandoned with little money invested in them. Those streets and towns were once great communities, everyone knew everyone else. People moved away for work, shops and pubs closed and that downward spiral continues even today.
The country was already in recession with rising unemployment when Thatcher won. Labour and the unions had reduced the country to beggars that needed an IMF bail ouit.
The Tory party are effectively a trade union for the wealthiest 1%. Thatcher put the boot in.
Yep. Thatcher's government destroyed the manufacturing industries and replaced em with service industries. Problem there is most manufacturing was in the north and most of the service industries are on the South East. The rest of the country has been left to rot.
The problems of industrial decline go back way before Thatcher's election
Couldn't of said it better I'm 34 but can remember the back end of what you was saying,gone to pot now tho hasn't it mate
3:32 That's a lovely bit of tile work on the Angel Hotel.
I was born in Ashton. What a shit hole. Used to be THE place to go on a Weekend in the 90s & that. Sad demise. Another great video mate, nice one.
Yeh it deffo needs somet...dunno what, seems beyond. Cheers pal!
Was in FHMs top night's out at one point
Was epic in the 90’s when I was at college
The whole of the UK is a shit hole. Get out and explore the world.
I like these vids and I don’t know why. Nice to see you around greater Manchester area I guess….!I left a similar town not far from there about 22 years ago and I see streets n pubs like this and I miss it in a way.
It’s a terrible indictment of our system of government . Shame on all in power and office
New order blasting out in The Theatre Tavern. Love it. Time as definitely stood still in Aston
Great tour of Ashton! My girlfriend is originally from the Oldham/Chadderton area just a stones throw away. She is also a former patron of the Witchwood herself including a chuck up from too many alchopops. Would love to see a pub tour of Oldham in a future video. keep up the great work!
Believe it or not the Locals are Really nice Down to earth People there is a Good Community Backround There.
folk seemed alright
@@honestplaces
Yes , All inner Salford is The Same
There’s Community there just Strangers or outsiders can’t see it .
Thanks for the Video mate.
Let down by both labour and tory.
Tetleys I thought that was tea 😂
You missed some big pubs like the Ash Tree Weatherspoons , The Old Fire Station and the Bowling Green they were near the market.
Beau Geste Bird…..Bangin 💥💥💥💥💥

She was quality.
Definitely 👌
And pours a decent Guinness too, she's a keeper
Pronounced JEST.
Glad you chose the Theatre Tavern, driven past there a few times, love the traditional green tiles outside, good ale price as well. Good vid mate
Hi mate! I used to watch a band called The Method at The Wychwood every other Wednesday.
Also The Globe and The King Billy were good pubs. My mam lived in Egginbotham Crescent when she was younger. Miss you, mam.❤.
Good video once again brother. Pete 🏴
I lived on Heginbottom Crescent for a year or two.
The green tiling on pub's is nice.
True classic pub architecture 👍
It's easy to clean and it shines when you give a good wipe
Always makes my day when you upload!
Went to Blackpool recently actually, not as bad as people say imo but no way I could stay there longer for the 2 nights I did (got there kinda late on the first night mind you). Pleasure Beach is fun. The pubs definitely aren't it compared to other places tho (for the most part). Is what it is though.
This place is definitely... something. You did not hesitate on that Tetley's score.
Yeh mate....2 nights is perfect, i don't mind Blackpool for that time 👍Yeh was average 🤣
I used to meet my cousin in the Ashton Hotel. Walk to the Cavern, on to Ye old Vaults, across to Pointers. A pint in Chesters, one in Yates's. If I fancied a bit of a brawl, pop in the Queens. Last orders in the feathers. Nightclub was Shapes on George St, you went downstairs or Blues club for Bants.
Sound like a right session 🤣
Sounds rhyt
@@honestplacesthose were the days of olde,give it time no pubs forced on the brits to accommodate the 'religion of peace.
@@chaffahatter1948 top comment your spot on in the Queens for a pint and a fight
My Ma and Stepdad were the licensees of Ye Olde Vaults between 1982 and 1984. Ashton was like the land that time forgot but at least back then there were scores of lively pubs still open and the clubs in Staly Vegas were alright...
It's turned into a baron shit hole for the same reason Oldham and Rochdale have, a town is only as graceful as the people who feed its heart.

No way! Me and my band played a gig at the Witchwood back in like 2011/2012. We were a metal band. I recognised it as soon as you pointed your camera through to show the inside of it.
Near the witchwood,always smells of urine?.
It looks like Eastern Europe before Eastern Europe joined the EU, got fixed up and became prosperous.
pffffft haha
It looks like the UK after it joined the EU
@@SuperCityMCFC Odd how the Uk has been rapidly been deteriorating since Brexit...
Most of the people living that side of Ashton are Eastern European.
@@ifonly2448does ‘most’ mean something different in the Uk than the rest of the world? Official demographics show 80% are native born.
Cant believe how much Ashton has gone downhill since I used to drink round there occasionally in the early 90s. The shopping centre a shadow of what it once was. Used to be busy when I delivered round there from about 2006 to 2012. Sad decline.
Mad init.....looks like it's just been left
Sunday night in Ashton in the late 90s was booming...
@@cosmicbaggy9637 didnt they used to call it mini Blackpool with all the bars and clubs next to each other. Good times.

Pint was angin 🤣
@@honestplaces Not a pub drinker and I mean the pour varies but isn't one keg of Guinness same any any other ? Can you explain how it's 'anging?
@@thesleepstateGuinness is way better over here in Ireland I live in Castlebar County Mayo but originally from Stretford Manchester it depends if the pipes are cleaned properly and at least weekly
The Star looked grimmmmm
@@ronanpeter - The Star is grimmmmm! Everything down that end of town is. It's not much better at the other end in all honesty.
Looking forward to this all week. Decent pint of Guinness. Me old fella use to deliver in that area.
Get him back down there!
I live 5 minutes away from Ashton. Used to be a great night out in the 90s. Loose moose. Yuppies, Pitt n nelson, tricky Dickie's, hero's. Loveshack.
Now it's just scab city.
Looks well posh .. people from stoke go there for a holiday 👍🏾
🤣
lol stokes full of Tory’s and racists

Love your channel m8. Just wondered have you done an episode in Rochdale? some proper old bangin pubs there. Keep up the good work.
Cheers pal...not yet mate. On the cards though

Wish i went now 😭
Beverly Macca still there? 😮

I think we all know what it is. Great content as always. Try doing a Stockport one
I work in north Manchester, Ashton isn't quite as bad as Harpurhey or Cheetham hill, would love to see you take a visit round there. Specifically the Embassy Club, I've never had the desire to go inside myself but would be good to from your perspective so I don't have to.
Keep up the good work :)
Highlight was definitely Beau Gueste Barmaid.
Definitely a bit Tasty! 🤤😉

Still has her teeth anyway.
If Aston is bad, try Gorton or Wythenshawe. Still, things change, when I was at Manchester Uni in 2001, the Northern Quarter was pretty hanging, but fun.
Northern people are a lot more down to earth. They just get on with it whatever circumstances they are in. When you go to rough areas in London, Bristol, Birmingham it’s more sketchy.
That's called 'apathy' mate.
This is ANGELA RAYNERS constituency the deputy prime minister. I live in ashton we now call it TRASHTON run by shame side council. I wish you had bumped into me I would have showed you our scruffy town run by labour and DEPUTY PM oh she must be proud. I remember this town when it was an amazing place.
Very sad to see what has happened to our town. Gone but not forgotten
@@shaunperrin Hiya Shaun. I loved living in Ashton, made it my home for over 15 years and worked there all that time as you know. it was so disheartening seeing what was allowed to happen to it.
Blues closing and then the council/police went after all the other clubs and bars closing them down, just cuz they'd invested money in S.Bridge and only had the resources for one party town.
They've absolutely killed Ashton!
I had to move away, to get away from it and what ot was doing to my well being living there and seeing the town declining so rapidly. I dont think the guy who made this video realises just how quick;y things went down-hill. It was heartbreaking to see and feel powerless to do anything to stop it. I hope you're well matey. all the best. Jenny. X
@@ladyjennyanytime5195 well said Jenny. Hope the town you live in now is much better x
@shaunperrin ashtonistan hydeistan oldhammabad all were prosperous towns and now we see the pattern
It was never amazing though was it. An utter shithole, always has been.
1st one you went in I noticed was a craft Union pub. There were 2 in Torquay when I lived there. Both the cheapest in town and had character. You should do a tour there.
Didn't even notice....crazy prices
many great bands from Manchester. The Smiths, too, i believe
I see a new honest places video, I click
You know it makes sense 🤣 cheers pal
@@honestplacesit is what it is😊
Love the old architecture there!
I use to go to a pub called the coach house . The toilet trough use to overflow and the whole floor was a pool of piss . The good old days 😊
Sounds bangin 🍺
@@honestplaces 😂😂😂
@@honestplaces one more story . The club across the road use to top up with Guinness with slops . And people would be crawling after 3 pints . The early 80s
I worked in ashton town centre in the 90s one of the worst town centres i ever worked in for threats of violence. I cant even begin to imagine what it is like to work there now
Believe it or not 80s and early 90s was cracking night out - weekends rammed every pub - few fights
Sounds bangin
Crowd of us use to meet at the New Nook on Broadoak once a month and go down Ashton.. Old Vaults, Black Vaults, Yates's etc.. great nights, well oiled..😅
Its too bad you didn’t venture more than just around the block 😂
You have good nice pubs like the obvious spoons, then the fire station(engine room) next door to it, the ladysmith next to that and the prince of orange next to that…
The feathers you missed out on, top end bar, and then the station pub the road over from feathers 😁
It is good in Ashton just know what atmosphere your comfortable with, there is even Olivers bar an underground one next to iceland on the market 😁
The trafalgar is an interesting pub in Ashton also the station is good the Landlady help the homeless
Sad to see the (managed?) decline of so many towns around the country.
100%
Ashton has had a bit spent on it is the mad thing. While Hyde and Stalybridge have had less
It's not managed decline. That implies someone gives a shit about these defunct places.
@@JJPwfelli Good point!
@@diskopartizan0850 That is mad, looked pretty grim.
Outside of London England is pretty much a third world country now.
Its heartbreaking to see it.
I returned to the UK last year for a couple of weeks and left feeling in grief at what i saw and the run down state of the place.... and that was in a more affluent area in Worcestershire than what I saw here.
Nonsense.
Ye but it is what it is. Best crack on
Yep, poor country attached to a rich financial centre.
London is the skid mark in the underwear of Britain.
Loved your video of a disappearing world. Still best crack on. 😃
You should grade the smoking areas, the Beau Gestes was grim but the winner in my opinion was the Star Bars, broken tables and dying plants, proper grim!!😂
If you would have kept walking about in the centre you might have stumbled across a retro games shop 'Rewind'. Proper good and worth a visit.
better than the NQ64's?
I was born and lived in Ashton for 42 yrs until moving to Spain 14 yrs ago . The Angel pub was run by an old school friends Parents . The Yates's wine lodge was run by the Parents of Simoni Perrotti who won the world cup with Italy in 2006 . Geoff Hurst was also born in Ashton ...
"To be fair...
...It is what it is!"
That'd be a good slogan for the front of a T-shirt.
2/2!
Born and bread Ashton and played plenty of gigs in the Witchwood back in the day. You're spot on, shadow of its former self, which is ridiculous considering our leader is also deputy prime minister. It's really sad, you couldn't move in Ashton Market 30 years ago.

I went to Ashton sixth form 10 years ago, whenever I drive through again it just looks worse and worse, but theres definitely worse areas in manchester. Ashton house prices stay decent and pubs stay open due to the easy manchester commute.
Keep em coming. . The way Starmer and Co are going there won’t be a pub left in England in a few years.
Probs right pal
@@honestplacesshowing ur racism
14 years of the Tories rinsing the Country has caused this decline
Ashton was a brilliant night out late 90's / early 2000's. Full of bars, pubs, clubs. There was a thriving house music scene where many of the DJ's went on to bigger things. We started going out around '98 when we started 6th form (Luckily the door policies were loose to say the least). Staleybridge took over though and the shootings saw the start of Ashton's downfall. I moved away years ago, but it's a shame to see what it's become.
1st Guinness looked nice, especially for the money!
Unreal init
Yeh it did actually
Love your videos keep them coming 👍🏻
The closure of pubs in the UK is no surprise. I believe the only reason they lasted so long was because of the 'monopoly' they held over the access to alcohol. Once supermarkets were free to sell booze 24/7, people no longer needed to use a 'local.'
true that mate
Is what it is mate.
The smoking ban started the decline - people were already struggling financially.
And so the decline started regarding pub culture, loss of dominoes, darts & pool leagues.
In our area in Cheshire, we had 40 Sunday league pub teams up to the early 90's - now all gone.
Partly due to the smoking ban and now they want to stop smoking in the beer gardens also Islam doesnt agree with alcohol It is a way of keeping people apart to stop socialisation
Use to love going out in Ashton in the 70s, great place to be and great nights out.
Sure my band played in the Witchwood before I joined, we've got flyers up in the practice room. A past bad I was in got booked there one time back in the mid 2000's but it got cancelled so I've never actually been. Shame really cos I love places like that, a bit rough round the edges but with plenty of character.
Would of been mint playing there lad!
Cant believe how cheap the pints of guinness were and they looked half decent. Here in north Ireland the cheapest I can get one for is 3.50 but that's only in one bar, the rest are 4.50 to 6.50ish
I wonder if Jim Royle and Twiggy were with Barb, Denise, Anthony and Dave Best in The Feathers? 🍻 ❤
🤣
@@honestplaces I saw someone else said it after I did but I’m sure everyone’s thinking it, looks like better days are ahead for poor old Ashton……..

We've refurbed a few of them Craft unions 😂 some proper characters in them
Hi! I live in California and I'll be making my first trip to England next year and I hope to visit that Witchwood pub.
Save yourself the pain,!it's like the bronx,!only worse.😢.

I fancy a pint now.. Cheers
Get one in!
When you walked into the Star Inn, the nostalgia of hearing that proper pub door squeeking as it opened and closed with a big bang at end! I remember so many times going into pubs like this as a kid or teenager and it felt really fun to actually be in these places when they were lively. That noise though, man ive heard that so many times, does anyone know if pub doors were actually designed exactly like this to stop people sneaking in etc to steal beer or the till, if someones out the back they can hear the door etc?
Never drink in a flat roof pub 😂
ALWAYS think about visiting Ireland....I live thru you guys and I thank you sir
It's England you knob
The Witchwood :D loved that place when I was 18 I pulled a 35 year old biker chick :D.
Bangin place
Do you still have her crabs
Maybe she pulled you😂
just found you through wendell great stuff!!
I lived in Oldham Road in A-U-L from 86-90.
The Beau Gest was one of my locals. There's a lot of closed down pubs in Ashton now. Pity, because it was a buzzing place.
Yeh....people skint and the people who can afford just hop the tram
Ashton is just another Market town let down by the local Labour authorities allowing thousands of immigrants into the area for the extra they got from central Government for doing so. It creates deep schisms between so called community's. Ashton in the 80s was a well to do area with a good Market and good shop. Not to mention the pubs and night life . We had big name Djs like Jay Wearden and Mike Pickering in in the clubs.
Disagree. For as long as I remember there's been a diversity in culture in Ashton (for the better). I do agree that the council are useless and look to line their pockets. The town centre was ruined when M&S moved out of town.

Goes into pub, orders G. Heads out to the beer garden as nobody will talk to him. Moans about G. Repeat.
Such a shame how ashton has gone down hill over the years it was a shame when they shut the town hall it used to have a cracking war museum .great memories of going there as a kid with my grandma at a weekend. Alot is lack of investment and greedy councils whacking up the rents and rates to businesses making them fight harder for survival. Great vlog
Ashton my home town, born and raised! No way is it the most run down. Better than Gorton pal, better than Droylsden, better than Openshaw and many more.
I'd say those other few have been done up abit more.....but yeh Gorton is deffo more rough mate
Maybe better but you’re still a yonner
Like the vids but wish you would go in the pubs later on when a bit livelier, maybe an idea for future vids.
Look people residents make it a shithole. I lived in a abject poverty growing up. But the shit beds we had. The shit furniture we had was spotless. The question you always ask. Who made this happen? Respect your community.
Actually the local council has shut everything down from the local swimming pool and food places on the market. You will meet some of the nicest people around down this end
@samanthatate-eo9gn I live in a shit estate some people are nasty. We don't have regular pick ups. But with respect I need and keep my shit contained. I walk past in the sidewalk shitty nappies. That what I'm talking about. Respect your community even if you have nothing.
Love the ornate brickwork on some of those buildings! Married wife in 2013 and she is from eastern Ukraine Severodonetsk. Got her mom living with us now in western Maryland USA as her home got obliterated. Always love your videos man! As a recovered smokehound I drank plenty Guinness and sometimes they would sell half Harp/half Guinness on draft and that was great. Probably drank more Bud on draft than anything though, cheap and taste was fine. Only bad if they bar did not change or clean the draft keg lines as they would effect taste. Wonder if that is why some Guinness ranks lower on your scale at times? Anyway be stay safe in Ukraine. Truth be told I felt safer there man than in Baltimore where I used to live. LOL
True Ashton's not what it used to be but most run down town is Oldham, only a few pubs left in town centre it's a proper shithole😮
90% of the indigenous population don't drink
Alla be praised .
It is what it is! Soooo yeah!
Bar person @ The Star should respectfully hand their notice in after giving you a Guinness like that.
Wasn't the best
Love the videos mate
Please do not put my Ashton down... I was there way before you were born... Ashton has its gems . mainly the people..
Ashton looks like some post-apocalyptic scene! Sad to see so many characterful old pubs closed. Same in all Greater Manchester satellite towns. The contrast with Manchester centre couldn't be more striking, where there's loads of great pubs. But high prices to go with them!
