Hailskunky I don't know why your comments have disappeared. Check my channel I've done daisy nook didn't film the manor house. Do you mean the one at the side of the canal?
Great video, live in Moorside myself attend Moorside Hystorical Society meet every 3rd Monday of the Month at either Moorside Cricket Club or St Thomas Church hall depending on the month, such and intetesting village proud to say i live here
Loved growing up on sholver, i was there in the 80's. My nana & grandad lived there at 20 Cop road from the 70's until the council houses got knocked down, they were gutted they had to move. Me & my grandad used to have a drive round nearly every week & seen the change each time, it was heart breaking & could tell it broke my grandads heart. He used to work on the security there, he loved it....bet who ever can remember them days weren't a massive fan of his coz he took no shit 🤣🤣 i used to live above Daves shop when i was about 2 years old which was 1983, but i stayed at my nana's & grandads all the time, i loved it....thanks for this, its great to look round 👍🏼
Wow just remembered, there used to be warden controlled flats for the old dears, i think the warden was called Tony? When it was Harvest at school i used to take mine to the old dears & i be friended this lovely old lady who i used to visit quite a bit, god i must have been about 6 or 7 years old! Also remember when i was about 8, a young girl was going to the shop for her mum & she ran right across Cop road & got hit by a car, poor girl died, i can remember that like it was yesterday, wont go in to much detail, but i seen alot that day that il never forget...cant remember her name, was a massive hit on the community, such a shame x
I hope so what am I really finding from the channel is I do have historical videos now because some of the places that have film to be the change beyond recognition or have been demolished and brought to the ground
Great video and research, Sarah. I'm from Moorside originally (born and bred) and also spent a lot of my life around Sholver - which is an old Norse word related to hamlet apparently. Besom Hill, supposedly has archaeological evidence from the neolithic period too. So much history in our old town eh! Thank you for all your work, Sarah.
I love the estate videos, brings back memories of the places I went to as a kid, nice too see what they look like now. I moved to the USA about 15 years ago and miss Oldham a lot, I really appreciate all you’re doing.
Awwww that's brilliant Andrew I'm glad you enjoy them. I'm fuming my bloody camera lens was dirty I won't make that mistake again 😂 your subscribed arnt you?
Hello Andrew, I don't suppose you have a relative by the name of Paul Marsden, aged 68 and who lives in Oldham, do you? A long shot maybe but I thought it was worth asking.
Used to work at Parkfield House Hotel as a chamber maid in 78/79, it was handy as I lived directly facin' on Ripponden Road. Later worked at Hillards, now Tescos.🤗
We lived in Gaskell rise then my mum got married again and we moved to a bigger 3 bedroom on Coleridge rd the first one on the estate .They were big houses think someone bought it after us .They moved on when we all left home .This brings back memories the Waggon pub and the Bulls Head Moorside Tavern . Conservative club the Highfield never went in the Pullit but went to a party there the other week .
Where you was stood on swift rd if you would have gone right then across that car park then left at the end of row of houses would then be on Gaskell rise where you lived with me. Great vid Sarah x
@@SarahsUKGraveyard Don't worry they will see there yours I just share them on my channel I post load's of stuff on all topic's a lot that you can't on bum tube your channel has opened my memories everything is coming back to me I even remember gas lights in Oldham in day's gone by its still fresh in my mind I saw it as it was before all the changes you show I know so many stories and sites you probably have not heard of our seen like little moor side bath's where I learned to swim also the upper edge moor tank range its all flooding back to me.👍👍👍👍👍
The Northgate Pub was built in 1746 and the grass area in front was the village green. Thomas Mellodew lived in Moorside House which is where the former Our Ladys RC School stands now. Facing the Moorside Tavern, Ripponden Road.
Hi Sarah if you get a chance can you do some film of Belvedere rise sholver no 1 we moved in the 80s lost both parents in the last few years would be nice to see our special home with fond memories ❤️
I moved to Sholver (Belvedere Rise - named after Abate Andrea Belvedere an Italian painter) when it was a new build - 1970, it was a great place to live then.
Haven House is just off Haven Lane, it is just after the nurses and is a private house now. Their mill started just after the cottages on the right hand side going up Haven Lane and finished, just before the backs of Alexandra Terrace. That one was Velvet mill. The beginning of the mill dipped down and their were about 3/4 air raid shelters, which you can imagine was a magnet for us kids in the 50/60. There was a mill pond at back of the white cottages, now part of Haugh Hill Road, we caught frog spawn and watched it grow into frogs. lived on Haven Lane from 1959-1971 facing the air raid shelters (we couldn't see them from our house). Moorside isn't a village any more, so sad that all the farmers fields and the old school have been built on now. Oh well I suppose it is progress. I preferred as it was, but I am back living on my Lane once again. I Hope this new helps you Sarah. Kindest Regards Pauline
Hi Pauline thank you so much for the info. I'll ensure I go and take a look at Haven House and the area around. I'm doing another video on Moorside which I will plan as today's was a spare of the moment I was actually going to do haunted sites if oldham that's coming up. I'll do Moorside after 😁
I enjoyed that . I haven’t been up there for years. I used to work for Lou’s mum on the petrol station on Ripponden Rd facing the Chinese . The Chinese chippy belonged to a family I went to school with . My late husband and I had a couple of Taxi offices up there . One inside the tyre bay next to-Barrowshaw farm . The other on s car sales pitch next to the Moorside Tavern . I kept my horses on the farm on Bullcote Lane before it was sold for development . If you lived on sholver did you ever know Hippy Val or REMMY? REMMY had a couple of horses and a bow top caravan but somebody burned it out . How long ago was the sholver witch ? I know David Salt was sent to prison for murder of his baby up there in the 80s
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I was thinking someone like Walter Alcock may have remembered , him being that age group .

@@SarahsUKGraveyard no it was a working man’s club on the left of the pulley if you faced towards Bullcote lane . It was on sholver lane and the St Thomas Church was more or less behind it . Big place
@@SarahsUKGraveyard I know it was there 44 years ago because I used to go to the teens disco there when I was attacked and one of my front teeth knocked out 😬
@@SarahsUKGraveyard from my memory it was on the side of the old lane that led up to the reservoir right behind the pullet. I lived on Pearly bank and my brother used to say to me that they would take me to the old house! It was very sizable building with tons of rubble behind and a tidy small garden at front. This was mid late 70's
I'd sobered up and realised I'd trapped off with a dwarf her mate was the cripple but I'm a bugger for saying what I see, they obviously took offence 🤣
Moorside House wasn't a hotel. It was in the grounds of where there is a catholic church now and was demolished to be replaced by housing. The last time I passed there there was a Nursery there too.I believe the last Mellowdew left it to the church when he died.
We used to go to St Thomas School at the side of the church and on our way home from school would pass the grounds of Moorside House on our way home to Strinesdale.There was a pond in the grounds with two swans .We used to try and climb the wall as we were only 5 or 6 it seemed high then .
@@paulinehalkyard9312 Thats right there was. It was too big to be called a pond but not big enough to be a lake. It was dug originally to keep the house in a constant supply of Rainbow Trout I was told. It was eventually filled in to allow for the building of a church (and school?).
sholver estate was built in the 60s the shops are owned buy akram he owns them all apart from the one stop do you know why the waggon and horses was called old custards
all my fam an i worked in the parkfield hotel brill times and a complete nutter who was obssed with the yorkshire ripper stayed there and took my sis to his room to show all his collection weird guy lol

no way xx
I found out that exact same day my friend lilly morris died because she was hit by a car on top sholver
@@SarahsUKGraveyard
I remember old Liza
Had a very old behind the pullet where the river or stream ended when pearly bank was still in existence
Ahhhh right my cousin said it was an old cottage however I don't think that's the lady I was told about as she was said to habe lived up wilkes street

I'd love to see a picture of it
@@SarahsUKGraveyard so would I! I am amazed not many pictures of Pearly bank flats either. I was 8 years old when we moved to limeside
the witches houses was along the path at the back of the pub it was knocked down in the 80s
sholver was a back drop to a film called you and me and marley
The old witch lived in a house behind pearly bank flats near the track to the resevor
Have you done a video of derker yet or as it was originally named dirtcar because of the coal industry
Yes it's on the channel habe a flicl through let me know what you think
Sorry to do this to you again this is also my ancestors land this time on my mother's side. A Mr Wolfenden married a Miss de Sholver in about 1650.
The Wolfenden 's owned Hodge Clough. The area. The cottages still stand but the farm above was demolished because coal was found
Interesting do you think that's how sholver got its name then?
i got beat up in Sholver once.......by a dwarf and a cripple... true story
Your kidding 🤣
Serious, it was Henry Africas fault, copped off with the wrong one 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lmao. Do you mean two people or just one ie he was a dwarf and crippled?
I'd sobered up and realised I'd trapped off with a dwarf her mate was the cripple but I'm a bugger for saying what I see, they obviously took offence 🤣
That's hilarious sounds like you may have deserved a crack though if you were rude 🤣🤣
