I live in Eccles, about 40 years ago I started working as a building subcontractor for a firm who’s work was based all around Stockport, I got to know the area very well and I realised what an industrial history it has( similar to Salford), yes there’s lots of interesting history to Stockport, thanks for the video it was excellent

The smash sounds in opening music...don`t work 4 me...

Lived here all my life. Thus the reason for my long term medication.

Marvellous. 👍

Thank you for uploading these old pics, I’m from Stockport and they brought back some lovely memories 😊

Really good thankyou and you allow plenty of time to view the photos before they change. Please get some better music. Thanks again for showing.

Red rocks chimney! It seemed bigger to me back in the day, especially when I fell off and broke my arm. Nice collection mate.

These were the days where Homeless people had somewhere to stay instead of the freezing shop doors which they have now. Great photos, thank you for sharing them with us.

Unwatchable because of horrific screeching noise,Music? Scenes going 100 miles an hour with no chance of recognising street names..all in all a missed opportunity to visit my town in days gone by. So badly done,its a shame..30 seconds and you realise it's a rubbish attempt.the music? adds nothing and is distracting,if you slowed the whole thing down by 50 % and played gentler music,you might have something worth viewing.

Brilliant Robert ❤

Thank you for uploading this video it brought back many happy memories of Stockport, I was brought up in Romiley and used to visit Stockport in the 70s and 80s. The market was where mum and I used to love going it was a very busy vibrant place then where you could buy anything and everything, sad to see how much it’s changed 😢

lovely stuff!

90 per cent of this is now gone

stockport is now a over developed mess ..all the character has been destroyed

Born in heswall road 1945 time served apprenticeship at craven bros been away along time

Absolutely Brilliant Thank you so much for the memories .

stockport old Market is well worth a visit

i use drink in the Greenalls pub in Stockport, i think it was called the Stockport Arms

Thanks for this great opportunity to see how things change over time. I have just moved to Stockport and I’m enjoying finding out about local history. I love the soundtrack … could you tell me who are playing ?

lost count of the times I urinated on the Plaza Steps during nights out many years ago

they've done a great job in demolishing what was once, a thriving town and should have restored the old buildings rather than demolishing and giving planning to 50s, 60's to present day cheap monstrosities that are no only ugly, but will need o be demolished in 20 or so years. So many beautiful old buildings remain, they should enhance this and build new constructions sympathetically as has been done in other towns. they could also take down the precinct and mersey square, uncover once again the river mersey and have a tree lined walkway with a few well built brick or stone buildings along its banks for independent shops, cafes, bars - will bring life back in the town, a place people will travel to because it would be a nice place to be, and spend their time and money there, rather than away from because it is now so ugly, downtrodden, dystopian and assaults the senses. Stockport town planners need sacking.

I worked at Ashfords of Reddish for a short while in the late 80s. The guys in charge were called Tom and Jerry.....

Brilliant - thanks!

I moved to Stockport when i was 27, and liked the place i remember so much when i look at the photos in your video, Now as i approach 73 its good to recall those familiar places Thank you.

Gosh Mr Potts of Edgely , he had a reputation of not suffering fools, Does Anyone miss the old co-op or debs or woolies or bhs or timothy whites ot C and A and what about M and S moving out ? It seems like the heart beat of stockport has gone.

Brilliant thank you for so many memories the old stockport I new and loved 😊

the degeneration of a town.

First class collection ,such a lot of memories. Such a shame all the new builds look a lot worse than the old . Thankyou

Thank you,really appreciated.

Born in Reddish in 1961. Lived on Houldsworth Street. Not been back since my dad died in in 2012. Some great memories there. Thank you!

Cool background music.

This video currently has 192 likes. Perfect number :)

Really brilliant thank you, the music was great too. Fist class in every way. This was when Stockport was a wonderland of different architecture. Not all monotonous boxes ,which won't last a quarter of time that those which have been demolished did.

Thank you very much, loved it. Wonderful Stockport .

I just want to say thankyou for all the great photos. Ididnt come to Reddish till 1970,me being a Gorton lad. Felt straight at home with Stockport and have loved it ever since. Sadly they have destroyed all of the character of wondergul Stockport with all the modern buildings.

Thanks a million, what you have shown was when Stockport was great. Its lost such a lot of its character now.

Home sweet home

Great video

Hi all.. At 1.25 was that 'pizza land?

Fantastic montage and.. "The promise of "Metroland," - a new utopian landscape driven by the new urban s/place planners and architects of the Greater Manchester space/interconnectivity.... Not quite" Brasilia, " but a very English "industrial evolution," on the heels of the Wilsonian vision!

Wow, @26:04. the 75 from Mersey Sq. bus terminus - looks like that picture dates from late 40s to early 50s judging from the skirt length? My mum moved us from the Manchester Council overspill estate in Langley to the new one built in Bramhall (we lived in Dane Close), during 1959 because (I learned later) she thought Langley was going downhill (I think she probably guessed right on that one). I recall shopping expeditions to Stockport using the 75 back and forth, holding her hand (I must have been 4 or 5 years old so that would be 1960-61) and standing outside Tittertons Butchers (on Princes Street I think) whilst she bought sausages and bacon. My mum is 97 years old now and still with us!

Thank you brought back memories 🥰

It doesn't have the constant rain and smog that was so acid it burnt your throat. Nothing wrong with the people, a lot wrong with the environment.

Why has it got the Halloween theme tune to this video is Michael Myers there lol

Memory Lane for me this one: ) Born in Cheadle Hulme, 1946... Much is familiar but the lasting impression I got was how empty the roads are. Where are all the people?

Happy days of childhood and yesteryear.

Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is my favorite album in all of my 63 years. Still love it since 1975.

What a treat! I am surprised this town survived WWII....or did it get bombed and was re-built? No pics of the Argonaut crash. Would love to visit but it is so cold and dreary! I had the Tabular Bells album in the mid-70s. Hello from sunny and warm St Petersburg, Florida.

Wow that was a great trip down memory lane.

Thank you for this- the loss is heartbreaking
