Hard to contemplate how a town full of beautiful, intelligent and so well-mannered people have been replaced by......people very different. An utterly disastrous and unforeseen collapse.

I was born in Oldham in 1960 and often think I'd prefer to have been born in 1950. Then I consider that I'd be 10 years more knackered than I am now. Gratitude for small mercies is a good thing. Many thanks for this lovely upload!

Wow, I grew up in Oldham and was a child visiting town on the weekends circa 88 onwards and I always sensed that the town was more buzzing with life in previous ages. it was still bright in the 80's though.

I worked in Oldham 10 years from 1997 until I retired in 2006. They were the happiest 10 years of my working life. Oldham looked a lot different then ! When this was filmed I was 3 !

How Oldhams demographic has changed😂

Lovely is'nt it, a far cry from the mess it is now, a toxic dump ruined by you know who.

It’s weird how everything old is in black and white, people and places and everything. It must have been very dull to live somewhere like this with no colour whatsoever. I’m guessing that paint hadn’t been invented nor had coloured dye for clothing. Very sad times .

I came to live in oldham 1953 i was 9yrs old

I was born in the early fiftys and i remember a lot of this .👍
