Sweeney sums it up perfectly at 27:52 My grandad was a Mather & Platt apprentice - him and my grandma went from slum housing in Miles Platting to owning their home as proud working class people. Makes me sad that this working class dream seems lost for our working class children in modern Britain

I started my apprenticeship in 1974 at GEC. I travelled the world in the next 30 years. Wonderful memories.

Amazing, very thoughtful!

Thankyou lovely to watch

This should never have closed down it was a brilliant hospital

Really enjoyed this lovely to see gaynor lovely lady I’m a collyhurst girl but live in moston now I had a great child hood on the vine estate in collyhurst best years of my life

I had an operation here around October 1960 aged 10 months. Thankfully I don't remember the op but still have the scar. Some of these wonderful nurses must have been around. It goes without saying, I love you all.❤️

Maureen Moonsammy was my auntie and a very loving and special person in every way me and brothers spent lots of time with auntie Mo ❤ . So glad to have seen this film, god bless xx

Brilliant 🤩. REELMCR ❤️❤️❤️🥇🥇🥇🥇

I grew up until age 8 in Stretford, just a mile or 2 away. You could HEAR the sound of Trafford Park from there - a literal hive of industry. But the world moves on, and Britain was no longer the workshop of the world. Other countries developed manufacturing and we no longer had it to ourselves. We were good at it, but so are they.

We lived in Withenshawe but both of my grandads and my dad (from C on M) worked at Metro Vics

My dad spent most his working life in Trafford Park. He always said when people finish at 5.00 it was like Old Trafford emptying every night. There used to be a massive queue of buses over Trafford Bridge.

This was all done to split the socialist up, the man on the street by the torys. They distoyed our fantastic world beating industrial areas, just because they wanted to split the labour voters up.

I use to work in a cpl of places in the park in the 70s.

I was born in Third Street in 1953. We later moved to Second Avenue. Roger Marrow was in my class. Loved watching this! Happy days

When I was a young man you could go from one job to another, I worked at Superheaters, Carborundum, AEI, Sterling varnish, Rubberoid, Coey scrap yard and lots more, long time ago, all the trains crossing the junctions, the massive ocean going ships on the ship canal, all changed now, thanks for presentation

Fabulous protect to work on. Will never forget it. Loved every one who took part. XX

Many thanks, excellently made. My dad worked at Metropolitan Vickers for many yearsas a radial arm driller after he came back from WW2

⚔️It’s so find to finally find some of my grand mum Hilda deTrafford-CunninghUm’s history. ThX🛡

My mother was Sarah Cooper. I spent a lot of my childhood in the Park. Christened at St Cuthbert's. Dobbyns' cafe on 5th Street - they were my mother's cousins. Chris Cooper my uncle. My great grandma kept the Park Hotel. The Park was a phenomenon. I know it was hard, but I have great memories.

There stories will forever live in my mind. Absolute gem 💎 this. Thanks for all your hard work done producing filming and editing this masterpiece ❤

I worked at Rubber regen which later became Uniroyal Chemicals as a pipe fitter from 1975 to 1980. The factory was on the site of the Ford Motor Company original site on Westinghouse Road and the offices on First Avenue. My wife also worked in Trafford Park at the Estates office. I think all that area now is a container base, even then the amount of people who worked in the Park was huge but nothing like in its heyday. Happy memories, Rubber Regen was a dirty place to work but I loved every minute I was there, I learnt a lot whilst I was there. It closed in around 1982.

My dad used to be a fitter there. He was called Ray Clark. He told me lots of stories too. Thanks for the video.

Brought back happy memories memories of the “park”. Great to see Dave Williams & Tommy Fredrickson I grew up with these two & remember Alan Whittle. I used to knock about with his brother Leslie.

Schoolchildren should be given this to watch at school,these Britons should be remembered.

mu mum worked here as a nurse sister josie lambert she worked with sister mary thomson came home with lots of stories about her lol this was in the 80s and 90s i ended up here as a kid a few times for treatment .

Worked in microbiology with paul Conner Warren in haematology. And greatest man ever. Tommy the Porter. Nothing was the same again when we moved to mri. The family broke up. Booth hall we all new each other from consultants to domestics. We all worked together has a family’s. Moved to MRI. Nothing was the same. Could say more but. But just a number

I had so much fun making this thanks so much for the opportunity 💕

So sad...Hats off to those who stood tall

Fascinating history. I was a patient on Ward 7 in the 60's! I decided to train as a nurse as a result of my experience there as a patient.

🤗❤️

Wow. What a brilliant doco! I lived in Epping Walk (as a student) from 1985 - 1987. I loved it, to be honest (despite getting robbed on Bonsall St bridge one Saturday afternoon - of 50p!). Funnily enough we had as many local mates who were Hulme born and bred as we did student friends. Great work @ReelMCR!

Beautiful nostalgia 🤗

Excellent documentary! Very informative ❤

So proud to see my mum Brenda in this documentary. I didn't realise how much it affected her until she told me. Love you mum.

Something that should never be forgotten
