My grandad used to live on Lilmore avenue, behind that macdonalds on Oldham Road. He had an anderson shelter in the back garden when I was a kid and the train line ran right at the back of his house. When he was in his 80s he remarried and moved into one of those lovely old houses on the left of Oldham road. I remember it well!😊

@@SarahsUKGraveyard it's a shame Sarah. I'm 51 now so getting old. Haha. But we was brought up in the thunderdome and the amber. I worked the doors on the hacienda for 3 years when I was 18. Just before it closed..great times. And yeah most Sundays we would be in leggets, Jimmy's place at midnight. Then up a 7am for work on the Monday. Usually stinking of booze. I cannot do it now. 6 pints and I'm away with the fairies.. But Failsworth pole was epic. Full of single lady's. I'm sure in them days it was easier to get dates. Lol.. Saying that, I met my first Mrs in the Royal Oak. She turned out crackers, but most Failsworth girls are. Haha.. I bet u was down the pole aswell at weekends?...

Right then Sarah the Amber lounge as you called it was the Amber club formerly the lantern club up untill 1989 when the name was changed and it finally shut down in 2005 and has stood empty ever since. The odd thing is that there was a planning apllication for change of use submitted in November 2020 to go from a club to a church looks like the plans weren't passed. And the old pub just before McDonald's which is now apartments was the Bulls head. And across the road from there where you were walking was Gartsides garden centre which actually occupied 3 shops and that's also now been converted for domestic housing.The road on which the mare and foal failsworth stands is ashton road west and where them new houses are was the old failsworth mill where Findlater and Mackey (wholesale wines spirits beers etc) used to trade from and the mill also contained failsworth antiques which is now in failsworth antiques quarter. Loved this one, I'm Waffling I know so I'm shutting my gob.🤣🤣xx

Interesting watching this. I used to commute to Manchester for years on the bus if I was skint or by train if I pushed the boat out. It has really changed. Always been a bit scruffy but looking quite rough these day🎉s. Shame as some nice buildings. I was in Saudi when the IRA bombed Manchester. Around the same time we also had a bombing in Dhahran by a terrorist group who went on to bomb The World Trade Centre. We felt very threatened out there and the Saudi Air Force put barriers around our compound and we had armed guards at the entrances and patrolling the perimeters. They checked all vehicles in and out for bombs. You could feel the tension and later on we knew exactly who had made the 9/11 attacks as soon as they had happened. We were surprised that the UK and USA had not reported the growing threat. At the time we felt the whole world was going crazy. Wendy Wilson

I know that some of the graves was of ww1 soldiers and I think at some point in 19th century they moved some of the remains from a different cemetery in newton heath to that cemetery (dob lane) and then the pub was built after. If your ever down there again it might be worth checking to see if there’s any graves behind the pub, I know they built a car park where the cemetery was but there could still be some graves there possibly
