I left Stockport in 2006, emigrating to New Zealand, but have visited a few times since then, most recently about six months ago. To be honest, I thought the whole place looked a bit tired although the new bus exchange looks pretty good. My dad worked on the market in the 60's putting the tarps over the stalls. Apparently, the stallholders had to pay their pitch fee up-front before they were given these.

What a dump

Does anyone remember the underground toilets in stockport towncentre??

Left stockport in 1968, still have a mirror that came from Peter Carlson interiors. Video brought back some fond memories of growing up in South Reddish and Stockport.

Sorry waste of time could not hear a word

AMAZING

❤

This is interesting thank you 😊

I love it!!! 🥰

You mentioned Brinnington and Reddish as two deprived areas bordering the Vale. Don't make me laugh, Brinnie might be but that part of Reddish never was or is!

Great to see just how busy the Market was.

Wonder if the young girl in the supermarket recognises herself @5.20.

Great history lesson and trip down memory lane, thank you.

Cool stuff ☺️❤️

Great history lesson thanks ☺️❤️

Great film, time travel❤️😊

It certainly does need editing. Although very informative, the monotonous ‘This is...’ , ‘this is...’ spoils it. Some shots need to show the context of what is being displayed, maybe by panning round, in order to show more clearly their location. Some lovely catches, however.

I have wonderful childhood memories of this place like nobody else who will ever view this film my big sister husband when I was a small child lived in the flat inside Stockport town hall with my sister and their 3 children and we would stay over night I was let into the courts and Climbed all over the red and gold seats was picked up from school to stay the night and would be taken into the big halls with their wooden floors and take my shoes off and slide to my heart's content with my little sister or my neices and nephew also we would be taken on the roof top and watch the planes takeoff and landing going over head of us such lovely memories I was very blessed thankyou 🙏😔 very distant but treasured memories

So glad my parents emigrated to Australia

UP THE FUCKING PETER STOCK

192 has improved!

Fascinating video. Filmed 3 years before I was born, I love to see how things were shortly before my time.

MY SCOOTER DAYS WERE SPENT AROUND THIS TOWN !!...GREAT DAYS INDEED 😎😎😎

The sound of banjos is deafening

lovely memories

Hello and thank your for the old films and commentary your mentioned earlier in the short film that your worked in reddish making door chims/bells I remember that my dad also worked there is was only wondering if you'd remember him it was in the early 80s his name is David Morris I remembered coming in wile he was working his shift and showed me want heveryone did thanks again

Are they the markets that angry brigade Anna Mendelssohn helped out on with her parents as a child.

Thanks, I've only been here seven years so I learnt a lot from this.

Let's be honest. Stockport town centre is a bit grim.

Stockport looks like the proverbial grim northern town. Dirty dull and poor. Not much different today

Great film, shame the cameraman didn't linger a few seconds more on each shot though.

Stockport been wreck t aint the god dam same nobody can even have fun do jack shit no grand central no good old places all took over or ko d down stupid if you're going to make this interesting ask council to build places for everyone so they can do something stockade years ago was Sainsbury yer Nick used to run that that was in 80s or 70s

Very nice cinematography in and around the town centre-especially Reddish Vale.Would you say Stockport is in your veins?x

Hi there buddy I live in Stockport and have done all my life and still enjoyed this. I also have a channel check it out please I have started sponging some explosions of the local town and places near by

The film you had which had a Aircraft in it !! You said a bac11 it was a vc10

no way I go priestnall

Construction of Asda and Sainsbury began in 1985 and they opened in '86. Merseyway (the shopping centre) began as Merseyway the road (completed in 1940), the river being built over to provide a route for the A560.

Surely that's a VC 10 flying above?

Much as I’d like to see this service return to being hourly and also into Manchester Victoria, I doubt it will happen cos the bus service is every ten to twelve minutes at Denton. Not sure about Reddish South, but then again there’s a Reddish North with trains directly serving Manchester Piccadilly. What I would like to see is a twice hourly service from Stockport (or even Hazel Grove) with trains going alternately to Manchester Victoria (or beyond) and Stalybridge/Huddersfield, or even through to Leeds!

The place you couldn't remember the name of at 5:59 is The Three Shires, which is still there. And I think the church at 7:06 is St Mary's, not St Peters. Otherwise a great walk through the past.

I love stockport

To much traffic

When the industries went every thing went

I worked in Friedlands next to John Myers from 1965 to 1990. Moved to hertfordshire in 2011 but come back to reddish half a dozen times a year to visit the Fun days in the arks.

Brilliant , saw a pic of Tiviot Dale station ,then got a book on it Portwood etc and that loverly church behind , since then got an affinity with Stockport , love the old Stockport

Stockport is a well known shithole with a council run by retards.

Good to know that there is a lot of interest in the Dacorum Community Choir.

This is unwatchable due to the appalling acoustics.

An aeroplane crashed in Stockport the following year, 1967 destroying a few houses with people killed.

My family came from Stockport and I grew up there, I remember my early years with affection, but now my discription would be that of a dump and to say the flats that were built on Lancashire hill were very nice there a bloody disgrace that I would not put my dog in.
