I wanted to tell you young man that I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed that little documentary you could be our Michael Palin of the future and I just thought that for such a young man as you are you are very knowledgeable and have a deep understanding of faith humanity I also loved your little documentary of the life and times of local artist LS Lowry- truly captivating I think your work is special
Wow! Thank you so much Martin that’s a really kind comment. I really appreciate you taking the time out to watch the video and I’m glad that you enjoyed it. I loved filming the Lowry video and hopefully I will be doing another one on him in the future. Thanks once again and take care buddy 🙌🏼🌟
That’s really kind of you Peter. Funny you should say that, this video actually made it on the telly. A channel called Irish in the uk. I’ll leave the link below. Take care mate 👍🏼👇🏼 ua-cam.com/video/1zvrKxpaZFA/v-deo.html
I was raised in Manchester. In the 1950s Partly Irish decent from Mothers side (Ancoats) Fathers side Hulme. You have touched my heart with this documentary. Very unusual to stumble upon A young man who has taken the time to project part of Manchester's history with a passion. Excellent work.
Thank you so much Moll, your kind words have truly touched me. I’m so glad you could connect with the video and I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you once again and take care 🙌🏼⭐️
Excellent emotional story of people long forgotten who built the foundations of Manchester thanks for reminding us of the Irish heritage..keep these videos coming DM 🐒
Absolutley loved this. I walk past little Ireland everyday and the first time I noticed the plaque it sent shivers down my spine and I needed to know more about the area. I reflect every day when I see it and think about what life was like. I feel like you have brought this alive. Thank you.
You are a very good film maker. This film was riveting if like me you are descended from an Irish immigrant to Manchester in the mid 19th Century. My Great Great Grandmother moved on to New Mills in Derbyshire but the family later went back and settled in Gorton . I also have an ancestor who lived in Salford and was a butler in a large house in Higher Broughton, he died aged only in his 30s from TB in 1844. I've researched a lot about Manchester and Salford during this time and I share your fascination . Very atmospheric. You also deserve more subscribers.
Wow thank you so much Anne your kind words really do mean a lot! Yeah i am of Irish decent on both sides of the family. Mulligan and Molloy the Mulligan clan settled in Ancoats and moved to Salford and little hulton over time. I know a bit about Broughton too, a well sought after area back in the day, huge big houses. I love finding out things about family trees, the all tell some fascinating tales in there own way. Thanks once again Anne👍🏼
My mums family moved to Salford from County Wexford just after WW1. Grandad had been a British soldier and got gassed and later on died of TB along with one son and two daughters. My great uncle got drunk and fell off a gangplank and died in WW1 too.
I loved your video your compassion shines through, and your knowledge of Manchester is vast , I Doth my cap to all the folk of little Ireland, some of whom were my ancestors, I love our Manchester, but don’t like that our heritage is being erased for skyscrapers and money barons , keep up with your research, you need to be on television x
Wow m8 that was absolutely fantastic I honestly cannot speak highly enough of your work this my friend was out of this world I think this is the best vlogumentary to date me my wife and 10 year old daughter just watched this together and we all felt the same. Your passion and knowledge and the way you put these vlogumentarys together so respectfully is admirable congratulations on such a fantastic piece of work well done👍🏻
Wow! That really does mean a lot! I just speak from The heart mate and those people deserve the upmost respect. It must Have been so hard for them. Nice to hear you watched it as a family as well that honestly does mean the world. Made my day 👍🏼
Fantastic video. Thank goodness people like you are recording Manchester's history. I am a Mancunian in Malta and like many other Mancunians have Irish ancestry but haven't been able to visit for two years due to illness and now Covid19. I was shocked when I saw the Manctopia documentary and for the first time I am worried that when I get back I won't recognise the city of my birth. We have to keep our history alive and you are definitely playing your part.
Wow thanks so much for the kind words Denise! They truly mean a lot! I hope you get better soon and can come over to your birthday town. It’s definitely going through a transition period and I think I sort of capturing that at the minute. The old Manchester was much better, real historical places and solid Building to match now sadly being replaced by these glass building that look like something from a major city in America. Thanks once again for the kind words of encouragement! Take care 👍🏼🐒
Enjoyed this video tremendously. The average life expectancy for a labourer in little Ireland was 17 years old. My family worked as brick burners in Manchester. Every brick there tells a story.
Thank you so much mate, im really glad you enjoyed the video. Thats very true, every brick really does tell a story! thanks for watching Kelvin. Much appreciated!
What a truly compassionate and caring account of the hardship the Irish immigrants faced in Manchester. Your footage and photos of the bygone era was very moving. I think you would make an amazing history teacher. Thanks for sharing daft money. Your channel is a joy. 🔴🟡🟢
Wow thanks so much for the kind words Ruth. I really appreciate all the support you give me. I’d love for children to take an interest in some of these vids as. Maybe a career change could be on the cards. Thanks once again ✌🏼🐝
Great video....I love the history of Manchester, my hometown. A city that's still full of energy both good and bad. I used to love walking around alone....so much history at every turn. I've been all over the world many times and Manchester still has an authentic vibe...I love the place ❤
I’m Mancunian born and bred of Irish stock. I was educated at a Catholic convent and learned about Fredrich Engels. I was doing my homework and my Mum pointed out to me that the poor unfortunate people I was writing about were probably my ancestors. It really brought it home to me (I was 13) that there but for the grace of God I could have been one of them. We must have been strong to survive and bring up a family, most of whom would have died, and that we should be proud to have descended from such a valiant people. Thankyou love for bringing it into focus for today’s children. I’m pretty sure it isn’t taught in school anymore. Xx
I have never ever been so fixed on a video. You young man should have your own television programme. I just love anything to do with my Hometown by someone who cares and understands Manchester. Thank you so much. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Im a Dubliner and just came across your Chanel After listening I’m actually crying for my ancestors Thank you 🙏 so very much for remembering all these poor souls may they rest in peace Your fantastic a great story/ history teller. ( seanchaí ) Keep up the great work your heart and soul are well tuned into the past 🇮🇪🙏☘️🇮🇪
Wow! Thank you so much Rosemarie! Your words really have touched me and I honestly can’t thank you enough! I’m so glad that the video has resonated with yourself. I feel such a connection to these people…it was the least I could do! Thank you once again and take care 🇮🇪 ❤️
You speak with SUCH emotion and knowledge. The way you weave our history into your vlogumentaries and bring those ancestors back to life is truly special. You have such a gift for social history and your an inspiration to watch and listen to. This brought me to tears, I am just like you, that connecting to the past through the history that sits around us, from the cobbles and who walked them, to the names carved into stone, the wooden St signs...its all there, it resonates through our DNA. it moves us. Thankyou...absolutely awe inspiring. I'm so enjoying your vlogs...amazing stuff x
That’s really kind of you to say! Thanks so much for watching. This video really does take me back to that era. How hard it must have been to survive ⭐️👍🏼
I have Irish immigrant ancestry from Wigan, they worked in the cotton mills, but for a while they lived in Ancoats. There's so little on UA-cam that covers this subject, so I'm so grateful for your beautiful, sensitive documentary, I just sat and cried my eyes out for all those poor, suffering souls. Thank you❤ Yes, Manchester has lost so much of it's character since I lived there in the late 1980s.
Just about to watch this Monkey. It’s the English Aussie here again. My Grandad came from Ireland as a very young boy due to the famine in Ireland. His family went to Manchester. He fought for England not only in WW1 but also after having a few down his local with his mates one day he went and signed up for WW2. I truly hope he’s watching me watch this. Bless you and your channel. It’s awesome…👍🏼🇦🇺🇬🇧
@@daftmonkey7296 I’ve just left you another comment on the Little Ireland one. You are so good at this, keep at it and do more of the old murders and other old places with history attached to it and youll go a long way with this channel. PS my family goes back to Angel Meadow. I got the book sent to me by one of my cousins. The poor darlings really went through back then didn’t they? 🇦🇺🇬🇧👍🏼
@@pamelawright502 thank you so much Pamela that really does mean a lot. Yes, the hardship they went through is on a unprecedented scale. So much pain. 🙏🏼
That’s made me cry….and you clearly love history……me too. I’ve always said if I had my life to live again, I’d either be a history teacher or do criminal forensics….both would be so interesting….Another video so well done……I got chills when I saw the original wooden street name….so cool. I’m surprised no one’s pinch it yet…..🤷🏼♀️😂😂🇦🇺🇬🇧
Thank you so much for watching the video! I honestly really do appreciate it and I’m so glad it connected with you. Thank you once again and take care ⭐️
was same in Bradford to be honest. As here in Bradford they pulled down the old houses to build modern shoe box houses. If only they modernised the old better built and better looking buildings. Awesome video
What a great watch was told about this by a mate from Manchester ( I am Irish by birth ) and we both live in New Zealand and was well worth the watch keep up the good work
Thanks so much mate! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching and please pass my thanks on to your mate. Much appreciated, especially all the way over in New Zealand ❤️👍🏼
❤ thank you. This is beautiful. My mother was born on Princess Street, 1947, close to the centre, and my father grew up on Oak Road, Old trafford. 1944.
As a Mancunian,would like to congratulate this very talented guy, for making such a brilliant, enjoyable, educational film. Well done. I really enjoyed it. How sad, some of our history was. The struggles, and desperate plight of these innocent people. My father was born in Angel Meadows, and he experienced hardship in his very young life too.
This just popped up on my feed. Why you haven’t got 10x more subs I can’t fathom! Fab history doc. I’m a scouser so it’s unusual for me to acknowledge anything Manc 😂… I’m Liverpool Irish… but my grandad was born in Manc… in the 1890s. His parents were Irish born and lived around the centre of the city… I think my great-grandmother had a shop… we’re all connected. Plus us peasants who came from these Irish folk have strong genes to have survived. Thank you for this. (Subscribed)👍👏👏👏
Haha, maybe I will one day and thanks so much for checking out the video. I really do appreciate it. Great to have you on board. I hope you enjoy the content 👍🏼
Expat living in Adelaide ,love these trips down memory lane, makes the hairs stand up on the back of me neck ,will certainly pop down here on my next visit, thanks mate great job
Wow thanks so much Michelle, can’t believe my video made it all the way over to Australia! Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me. Yeah, I’d defo take a trip down to Little Ireland next time you visit. Take care and thanks once again👍🏼🐒🐝
Mate I don't usually comment on platforms but I have to say how much I am enjoying your videos. I came across your blog from watching the film about the Scuttlers and I am really impressed with what you have introduced me to. I love the history of Manchester and what it stands for, and can see how passionate you are to share forgotten stories.
Thank you so much Paul! And it really does mean the world to hear people like yourself enjoy the vids! Manchester is full of hidden history and there’s so many tales to unearth it’s incredible! Thanks Once again mate and take care 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Very good. Sadly, the life and soul is slowly being sucked out of Manchester. Lot’s of history being decimated and replaced with faceless glass and steel.
Foreign investment don't give a shit about Manchesters history. Only about making a quick buck. Hardly even any mancunians in the city centre now it's going like London. The working class have been forced out of the city just like the cockneys got forced out of the east end of London.
I watched this over a year ago and was captivated by the history and the passion that came forth from you 'Daft Monkey'. I lost the link but now found I can share and educate those who still today have little good to say about the Irish and the part they played in building not just Manchester but many major cities here in England. I am an English Protestant but grew up in Manchester with an Irish family to my left and to my right. The Griffins and the Lonergan's. No better neighbours could you ever want. Not forgetting one of my long standing best mates Dave Kelly no truer mate you could ever find.
Thanks so much Barry! I’m glad you found the video again. Thanks so much for the kind words, the history of the city is so important to who we are as people, I just wanted to pay homage to the people that paved the way for us. Thank you once again and I hope you and your family are a brilliant Xmas! Take care mate 👍🏼
your work is so inspiring and it makes it even better your a young lad who you can tell loves his history i have watched all you work and its like watching a tv program, you can tell care and it all comes from the heart, keep up the great work looking forward to the next one
I'm speechless. A brilliant vlogumentary. Thanks for taking me into this world briefly to help understand what our forbearers went through to build the Manchester we inherit today. Looking forward to the next one!
Brilliant, I left Manchester around twenty five years ago, we return home once a year to see family and friends.. Every year I recognise the place a little less. Nice to see one of my old haunts, The Salisbury is still standing. Nice one. 👍
My family were Irish catholics and ran the Exile of Erin pub in Angel Meadow . Pub long demolished now . My dad has the old front step from the pub in his garden . After my grandads parents died he had to go live with his uncle who ran the pub. He didn’t have a easy childhood but his life got better when he joined the RAF just before Second World War . I recently did a genealogy DNA test and I’m 48% Irish
What a brilliant and moving documentary! The horrific conditions they must have endured is hard for us to imagine. This is one of the best historical videos I've seen. Well done on your research and your emotive production, I think you've captured it really well. A pleasure to watch! Kevin.
my irish ancestors came to manchester in the 1900's from dublin, they lived on store street piccadilly, john hanley was his name he had 5 sons a daughter, they were all shoe and slipper makers, the daughter became a merchant and married a solicitor, she was called mary anne hanley, they worked their way out of squalor, two sons married the daughters of john boslow the landlord of the manchester arms pub, they were married in a double ceremony at manchester cathedral, the other sons moved to glasgow and opened a shop, they had sons themselves and where sent to war, i'm still proud to have irish blood in my body, a proud bunch we where.
Your work just gets better and better my friend! You are one of the few keeping history alive for future generations, who otherwise may never have known! Your vids should be used at the Peoples History Museum!
thanks so much Nick! much appreciated that mate and thank you for the kind words. if they are ever shown in the future to help educate, then it will have all been worth it in the end. Thanks once again nick!
Just came across this fella and would like to thank you for documenting Little Ireland 🇮🇪 for us Irish. And you know what side your bread buttered. God bless 🙌 and thank you much appreciated.
That honestly means the world to me Barry. Thank you so much for leaving a nice comment like that and also taking the time out to watch the video! Take care pal I🇮🇪 🙏🏼
Excellent well put together .Memeories of Manchester will always be remembered .I lived in the slums .And We had Irish Brickies in all the pubs coming in after Mass at St Wilfrids .Great places and memories .Manchester biorn and Bred and Proud to be a Manc .
Wow... Thought provoking, visually breathtaking and a well thought out, well presented work of art! Worth sharing with everyone and anyone who has a historical and sentimental posture.
I love your videos and your passion for Manchester. My great great grandad came over from Ireland 1848 and my dad has the birth certificate of his daughter who was born in 6 Angel street which is now the Angel pub.
My name is Frank from Cork City Ireland, my partner is from Manchester and Irish... I have to say we thought this was a fantastic documentary, absolutely class. So well made and narrated... I could hear the passion in the lads voice... Well done to all involved. Shared in Ireland
Frank Carroll thank you so much Frank, I’m really glad that you enjoyed it. It really does mean a lot that the people from Ireland enjoyed this video! Thanks once again mate! 👍🏼🇮🇪
My brother recommended I watch your channel, I'm so glad he did! my Great Grandparents came from Fethard ROI in the 19th century, they had a pub, The Royal Union on the corner of Potts Street Ancoats, just imagining the poverty & squalor they had to endure to survive is heart breaking, we owe them a massive debt.
Oh wow! thank you so much for taking the time out to watch the video and please pass my regards and thanks onto your brother. I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Absolutely outstanding Ant - thoroughly researched, expertly and naturally presented...I think that ‘thing’ you can’t quite put your finger on is ‘connection and empathy’. It stands out a mile in your passionate and provoking vlogs in and around our great City. If it awakes the awareness and interest of just one person then it’s a satisfying result, but I imagine it will resonate with every single person who watches it. The Daft Monkey vlogs just get better and better...and from a start which itself was fantastic. Eagerly awaiting your next history of Manchester work 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much Tony! I really do appreciate that. Yeah that’s probably what it was empathy! And given the Irish connection on both sides of my family I think it resonates with me a bit just like it would with you with yours being O’connor. Manchester has a wealth of history big and small and I hope I can do the people of the past and some Justice as they probably didn’t have much of a voice when they was living. Thanks once again ✌🏼🇮🇪
DM yor documentary was fantastic you have educated me today about the history of Manchester, very informative. You are so knowledgeable it shows in your stories. I never realised the effect of industrialisation, and cultures, nationalities that worked together in the past. Brilliant xx
Thanks so much Yvonne and sorry for the late reply. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and when reading about the hardships of these people it really blew me away too. Such a shame but pivotal to the development of the city
Great video Daft Monkey ... Like the new format of including yourself visually, rather than just the audio. Look forward to the next one ... well done.
Cheers Barry, i decided to show myself on it more due to watching a few of my vids back and realising they was missing something...I keep it in the vids going forward. Thanks once again mate
What an amazing insight into the lives of the Irish immigrants living in Manchester at that time. I shall be following your footsteps and going on my own pilgrimage to visit Little Ireland. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching the video Sally! I really appreciate the kind words. I’m so glad that you found it enlightening and I hope you enjoy following in the footsteps in the remarkable people that once lived their. Take care Sally and thanks once again ⭐️✌🏼
Fabulously put together video . These are the sorts of history snippets that should be shown in schools . No messing about ,facts and information with no frills and great images
Thanks so much Sarah, it would make the job even more rewarding knowing children were being educated off the back the videos and taking an interest in local history. Thanks once again for your kind words love 👍🏼🙌🏼
You have an amazing talent! Your videos are priceless. Thank you for sharing history in a such an incredible way!! I so look forward to them. Thank you and stay safe!
Absolutely fantastic this video, I went to gave a nosey today, I shared it on my Facebook for people to see what a great story you did. Thank you for highlighting this bit of history of the forgotten Irish. 😁
This channel is brilliant lad I live in bury and have always been fascinated by the city centre all though never really notice too much, suppose it's when you actually stop and look you see the finer details that tell a story.
Thank you so much Chris! That really does mean a lot to me and I’m so glad you’ve found the channel mate. It makes it all worth while when people “get it” and understand our history and heritage is something to admire. The remnants are everywhere, we just have to look a little harder from time to time. Thanks once again Chris and take care mate 🙌🏼👍🏼
Great job, and Like you the old street sign is absolutely wonderful to me, I think what i really like about your productions is the passion you have for the subject, lots of people can do documentaries, but very few give them soul....you are one of them!
That’s means a lot David, thank you very much. I don’t think I could make a video if I wasn’t passionate about it. And when the history of the subject presents itself the hardship and emotions come flooding to me. You feel the history of these people who graced the streets before us. 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 Mind if I use it in my GCSE History lessons? We're teaching the new unit called "Migrants to Britain 1250-present" and this is great for the 1800s.
I really enjoyed your video. love the city and been there for like 6 times. always passed this area and was always fascinated somehow, but never checked it out. next time I'm definitely gonna do it. thanks for all the information and the documentary is sooo nicely done! greets from berlin
Great video! This would have beena video my friends mom would have really been interested in, she was Irish and very proud of it. Amazing that the streets and layout are still there. It's also kind of surreal how thousands of people probably pass this spot every day, but probably don't know the history and hardship associated with it.
Thanks Paul, yeah it’s amazing to think that all those years go there’s still some evidence on what used to be their. The history around this area is unbelievable, it’s just waiting to be revived. Thanks once again buddy! 👍🏼🐒
Sorry for the delay in reply. Thank you so much, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words. It really does mean a lot. Take care

Forget history. Start with grammar.
Absolutely agree!! History should be brought alive for kids to appreciate it and soak it all in 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you❤ Yes, Manchester has lost so much of it's character since I lived there in the late 1980s.
That’s great to hear and thank you so much for the kind comment liz, I’m really glad you could connect with the video 🇮🇪⭐️
Great work on history gone but not forgotten. Dubliner.
Just about to watch this Monkey. It’s the English Aussie here again. My Grandad came from Ireland as a very young boy due to the famine in Ireland. His family went to Manchester. He fought for England not only in WW1 but also after having a few down his local with his mates one day he went and signed up for WW2. I truly hope he’s watching me watch this. Bless you and your channel. It’s awesome…👍🏼🇦🇺🇬🇧
Aww thanks so much for the heartwarming comment Pamela. I’m so glad you enjoyed this video to watch it again. God bless your grandad💯⭐️
@@daftmonkey7296 I’ve just left you another comment on the Little Ireland one. You are so good at this, keep at it and do more of the old murders and other old places with history attached to it and youll go a long way with this channel. PS my family goes back to Angel Meadow. I got the book sent to me by one of my cousins. The poor darlings really went through back then didn’t they? 🇦🇺🇬🇧👍🏼
@@pamelawright502 thank you so much Pamela that really does mean a lot. Yes, the hardship they went through is on a unprecedented scale. So much pain. 🙏🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 your most welcome…👍🏼
That’s made me cry….and you clearly love history……me too. I’ve always said if I had my life to live again, I’d either be a history teacher or do criminal forensics….both would be so interesting….Another video so well done……I got chills when I saw the original wooden street name….so cool. I’m surprised no one’s pinch it yet…..🤷🏼♀️😂😂🇦🇺🇬🇧
As a irish woman thank you I live in Salford my grandad came here when he was 17 to work 💪
Thank you so much for watching the video! I honestly really do appreciate it and I’m so glad it connected with you. Thank you once again and take care ⭐️

This is living history and the narrator is as overwhelmed by it as we all should be.
Outstanding work! Thank you.
Thank you so much Tim! I really do appreciate the kind words mate 👍🏼
Another belter mate, even more fascinating that my grandparents were originally from Ireland-wexford top stuff again 👏
Craig Doran nice one mucca! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you and the fam are well mate👍🏼🍺🇮🇪
Same Craig. My wife's ancestors came from Wexford too.
Now it's a horrible concrete jungle ☹️Amazing you are brilliant at making these story's/video's look forward to many more 👍..
Thanks so much Tracy! I'm glad you enjoy them :)
Oh, young man. You are a credit. I'm Rusholme born of County Mayo parents. They missed home but they loved Manchester. May you thrive,son.
Thank you very much Paul, that’s extremely kind of you! Thanks for watching and take care mate 👍🏼⭐️
Well done, you should be extremely proud of this documentary. Hope you get the break you truely deserve.
Thank you so much Jonny! I really appreciate that. Take care and have a great Christmas 👍🏼🎅🏼
Love your vids you are so passionate about history 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot 👍🏼🐒
was same in Bradford to be honest. As here in Bradford they pulled down the old houses to build modern shoe box houses. If only they modernised the old better built and better looking buildings. Awesome video
What a great watch was told about this by a mate from Manchester ( I am Irish by birth ) and we both live in New Zealand and was well worth the watch keep up the good work
Thanks so much mate! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching and please pass my thanks on to your mate. Much appreciated, especially all the way over in New Zealand ❤️👍🏼
❤ thank you. This is beautiful. My mother was born on Princess Street, 1947, close to the centre, and my father grew up on Oak Road, Old trafford. 1944.
Thank you so much for watching 👍🏼
One of the best documentaries i have ever seen.Wonderful job young man
Thank you so much jimbo! I really do appreciate that 👍🏼⭐️
As a Mancunian,would like to congratulate this very talented guy, for making such a brilliant, enjoyable, educational film. Well done. I really enjoyed it. How sad, some of our history was. The struggles, and desperate plight of these innocent people. My father was born in Angel Meadows, and he experienced hardship in his very young life too.
Thanks so much Julie for taking the time out to watch the video and your heartfelt comment! It really do mean a lot
As a born and bred Manc with Irish heritage on my mother's side, I applaud your work.
Kudos my friend 🥇✅
Thank pal! Much appreciated 🇮🇪❤️
This just popped up on my feed. Why you haven’t got 10x more subs I can’t fathom! Fab history doc. I’m a scouser so it’s unusual for me to acknowledge anything Manc 😂… I’m Liverpool Irish… but my grandad was born in Manc… in the 1890s. His parents were Irish born and lived around the centre of the city… I think my great-grandmother had a shop… we’re all connected. Plus us peasants who came from these Irish folk have strong genes to have survived. Thank you for this. (Subscribed)👍👏👏👏
Haha, maybe I will one day and thanks so much for checking out the video. I really do appreciate it. Great to have you on board. I hope you enjoy the content 👍🏼
Expat living in Adelaide ,love these trips down memory lane, makes the hairs stand up on the back of me neck ,will certainly pop down here on my next visit, thanks mate great job
Wow thanks so much Michelle, can’t believe my video made it all the way over to Australia! Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me. Yeah, I’d defo take a trip down to Little Ireland next time you visit. Take care and thanks once again👍🏼🐒🐝
Mate I don't usually comment on platforms but I have to say how much I am enjoying your videos. I came across your blog from watching the film about the Scuttlers and I am really impressed with what you have introduced me to. I love the history of Manchester and what it stands for, and can see how passionate you are to share forgotten stories.
Thank you so much Paul! And it really does mean the world to hear people like yourself enjoy the vids! Manchester is full of hidden history and there’s so many tales to unearth it’s incredible! Thanks Once again mate and take care 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Very good.
Sadly, the life and soul is slowly being sucked out of Manchester. Lot’s of history being decimated and replaced with faceless glass and steel.
I completely agree Phil. It’s looking unrecognisable in areas now mate
Foreign investment don't give a shit about Manchesters history. Only about making a quick buck. Hardly even any mancunians in the city centre now it's going like London. The working class have been forced out of the city just like the cockneys got forced out of the east end of London.
This is so well done! I can hear your passion for history 😊👏👏
Thank you so much Sue! 🙌🏼🌟
Hello sue how are you doing today hope you are safe over there?
I watched this over a year ago and was captivated by the history and the passion that came forth from you 'Daft Monkey'. I lost the link but now found I can share and educate those who still today have little good to say about the Irish and the part they played in building not just Manchester but many major cities here in England. I am an English Protestant but grew up in Manchester with an Irish family to my left and to my right. The Griffins and the Lonergan's. No better neighbours could you ever want. Not forgetting one of my long standing best mates Dave Kelly no truer mate you could ever find.
Thanks so much Barry! I’m glad you found the video again. Thanks so much for the kind words, the history of the city is so important to who we are as people, I just wanted to pay homage to the people that paved the way for us. Thank you once again and I hope you and your family are a brilliant Xmas! Take care mate 👍🏼
your work is so inspiring and it makes it even better your a young lad who you can tell loves his history i have watched all you work and its like watching a tv program, you can tell care and it all comes from the heart, keep up the great work looking forward to the next one
That’s such a nice thing to say Gail, thank you so much and thanks for always supporting the channel. It means a lot. Thanks 🙌🏼👍🏼🐒
I'm speechless. A brilliant vlogumentary. Thanks for taking me into this world briefly to help understand what our forbearers went through to build the Manchester we inherit today. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you so much Mark, I’m really please you enjoyed it mate! Cheers 👍🏼🐝🇮🇪🐒
Brilliant, I left Manchester around twenty five years ago, we return home once a year to see family and friends.. Every year I recognise the place a little less. Nice to see one of my old haunts, The Salisbury is still standing.
Nice one.
👍
Thanks a lot Gary, I’m glad you enjoyed it mate and it brought back some good memories for you 👍🏼 take care buddy!
@@Hgv.scania thanks a lot Mikey! Your spot on mate! Thank for watching 👍🏼
@@Hgv.scania I really appreciate that Mikey, thanks a lot mate 👍🏼
Truly an amazing Vloger/ local film maker. Well done Daft Monkey. Another gem of a vlog.
Thank you so much Lee! That means a lot pal 🙌🏼👍🏼
Beautifully told Anthony, this is my favourite to date ...amazing x
Thanks so much Dotty! That means a lot 🙏🏼
Loved it and brilliantly presented, thanks .
Thanks so much Keith! I'm glad you enjoyed it buddy! take care :)
My family were Irish catholics and ran the Exile of Erin pub in Angel Meadow . Pub long demolished now . My dad has the old front step from the pub in his garden . After my grandads parents died he had to go live with his uncle who ran the pub. He didn’t have a easy childhood but his life got better when he joined the RAF just before Second World War . I recently did a genealogy DNA test and I’m 48% Irish
Absolutely brilliant, totally captivating.
What a brilliant and moving documentary! The horrific conditions they must have endured is hard for us to imagine. This is one of the best historical videos I've seen. Well done on your research and your emotive production, I think you've captured it really well. A pleasure to watch! Kevin.
Wow that’s a real nice compliment! thank you so much Kevin I’m really happy that you enjoyed it. Take care mate 👍🏼
my irish ancestors came to manchester in the 1900's from dublin, they lived on store street piccadilly, john hanley was his name he had 5 sons a daughter, they were all shoe and slipper makers, the daughter became a merchant and married a solicitor, she was called mary anne hanley, they worked their way out of squalor, two sons married the daughters of john boslow the landlord of the manchester arms pub, they were married in a double ceremony at manchester cathedral, the other sons moved to glasgow and opened a shop, they had sons themselves and where sent to war, i'm still proud to have irish blood in my body, a proud bunch we where.
Brilliant ♥
Thanks a lot Audz!🙌🏼
Your strong feeling of connection is wonderful. That us what makes your videos so absolutely fantastic.
Thanks so much Mandy! It’s hard for me not to feel a connection in some way. Also thanks for jumping on the live. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
fab once again - thank you
Your work just gets better and better my friend! You are one of the few keeping history alive for future generations, who otherwise may never have known! Your vids should be used at the Peoples History Museum!
thanks so much Nick! much appreciated that mate and thank you for the kind words. if they are ever shown in the future to help educate, then it will have all been worth it in the end. Thanks once again nick!
I’ve watched you mesmerised and in awe of your knowledge . Your a fantastic wonderful young man and I thank you for caring the way you do xxxx

Thanks a lot mate! I’m glad you enjoyed it and cheers for watching it Danny 🙌🏼
My name is Frank from Cork City Ireland, my partner is from Manchester and Irish... I have to say we thought this was a fantastic documentary, absolutely class. So well made and narrated... I could hear the passion in the lads voice... Well done to all involved. Shared in Ireland
Frank Carroll thank you so much Frank, I’m really glad that you enjoyed it. It really does mean a lot that the people from Ireland enjoyed this video! Thanks once again mate! 👍🏼🇮🇪
Excellent History presented in a vibrant way. Many thanks from Ireland
Thank you so much Austin, that honestly really does mean the world to me. Take care and thanks for watching the video 🙌🏼👍🏼
Best yet mate, your passion shows though so much. Can't wait for your next one 👍
Thanks a lot mike! I really appreciate that buddy!
My brother recommended I watch your channel, I'm so glad he did! my Great Grandparents came from Fethard ROI in the 19th century, they had a pub, The Royal Union on the corner of Potts Street Ancoats, just imagining the poverty & squalor they had to endure to survive is heart breaking, we owe them a massive debt.
Oh wow! thank you so much for taking the time out to watch the video and please pass my regards and thanks onto your brother. I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Absolutely outstanding Ant - thoroughly researched, expertly and naturally presented...I think that ‘thing’ you can’t quite put your finger on is ‘connection and empathy’. It stands out a mile in your passionate and provoking vlogs in and around our great City. If it awakes the awareness and interest of just one person then it’s a satisfying result, but I imagine it will resonate with every single person who watches it.
The Daft Monkey vlogs just get better and better...and from a start which itself was fantastic. Eagerly awaiting your next history of Manchester work 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much Tony! I really do appreciate that. Yeah that’s probably what it was empathy! And given the Irish connection on both sides of my family I think it resonates with me a bit just like it would with you with yours being O’connor. Manchester has a wealth of history big and small and I hope I can do the people of the past and some Justice as they probably didn’t have much of a voice when they was living. Thanks once again ✌🏼🇮🇪
Great video. You really can tell a tale. Nicely produced with lots of atmosphere and told with feeling.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks so much barney, that really does mean a lot mate 👍🏼
DM yor documentary was fantastic you have educated me today about the history of Manchester, very informative. You are so knowledgeable it shows in your stories. I never realised the effect of industrialisation, and cultures, nationalities that worked together in the past. Brilliant xx
Thanks so much Yvonne and sorry for the late reply. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and when reading about the hardships of these people it really blew me away too. Such a shame but pivotal to the development of the city
Brilliantly done. Thank you
Thank you so much Beverley 👍🏼⭐️
Great video Daft Monkey ...
Like the new format of including yourself visually, rather than just the audio. Look forward to the next one ... well done.
Cheers Barry, i decided to show myself on it more due to watching a few of my vids back and realising they was missing something...I keep it in the vids going forward. Thanks once again mate
Very powerful and beautifully put together. Well done sir 👏
Thanks very much mate, that means a lot 👍🏼 cheers ✌🏼
You are an amazing young man, loved the passion ❤️ resonates deeply
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it Steven. 👍🏼🥊
What an amazing insight into the lives of the Irish immigrants living in Manchester at that time. I shall be following your footsteps and going on my own pilgrimage to visit Little Ireland. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching the video Sally! I really appreciate the kind words. I’m so glad that you found it enlightening and I hope you enjoy following in the footsteps in the remarkable people that once lived their. Take care Sally and thanks once again ⭐️✌🏼
Fabulously put together video . These are the sorts of history snippets that should be shown in schools . No messing about ,facts and information with no frills and great images
Thanks so much Sarah, it would make the job even more rewarding knowing children were being educated off the back the videos and taking an interest in local history. Thanks once again for your kind words love 👍🏼🙌🏼
You have an amazing talent! Your videos are priceless. Thank you for sharing history in a such an incredible way!! I so look forward to them. Thank you and stay safe!
Thats very kind of you Kelli, thank you so much. Take care

Absolutely fantastic this video, I went to gave a nosey today, I shared it on my Facebook for people to see what a great story you did. Thank you for highlighting this bit of history of the forgotten Irish. 😁
Aww thank you so much Theresa! That really does mean a lot. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Take care and thanks once again💯🇮🇪
This channel is brilliant lad I live in bury and have always been fascinated by the city centre all though never really notice too much, suppose it's when you actually stop and look you see the finer details that tell a story.
Thank you so much Chris! That really does mean a lot to me and I’m so glad you’ve found the channel mate. It makes it all worth while when people “get it” and understand our history and heritage is something to admire. The remnants are everywhere, we just have to look a little harder from time to time. Thanks once again Chris and take care mate 🙌🏼👍🏼
Great job, and Like you the old street sign is absolutely wonderful to me, I think what i really like about your productions is the passion you have for the subject, lots of people can do documentaries, but very few give them soul....you are one of them!
That’s means a lot David, thank you very much. I don’t think I could make a video if I wasn’t passionate about it. And when the history of the subject presents itself the hardship and emotions come flooding to me. You feel the history of these people who graced the streets before us. 👍🏼
Brilliant documentary, very interesting, informative and professionally done. Thank you!
Thank you very much! That is really kind of you mate! Much appreciated 🙏🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 Mind if I use it in my GCSE History lessons? We're teaching the new unit called "Migrants to Britain 1250-present" and this is great for the 1800s.

@@InaPeters-rm5xu thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼⭐️
Great video! This would have beena video my friends mom would have really been interested in, she was Irish and very proud of it. Amazing that the streets and layout are still there. It's also kind of surreal how thousands of people probably pass this spot every day, but probably don't know the history and hardship associated with it.
Thanks Paul, yeah it’s amazing to think that all those years go there’s still some evidence on what used to be their. The history around this area is unbelievable, it’s just waiting to be revived. Thanks once again buddy! 👍🏼🐒
Had a walk around there today. First time in a long time. Then came across this vlog, excellent.
Thank you so much for watching John. The whole area has so much history. Hope you had a great day mate. Take care 🙌🏼
great documentary, thankyou! can sense your passion for history and discovery from how u talk. keep it up bro
