@@Mustafa-Dump it looked idyllic back then
I went to the disco in the late 70's and it had an illuminated dance floor which was brilliant (think Saturday Night Fever). Disco's in Manchester didn't.

Really nice explore
Does anyone know about the condition of the chapel. it never seems to show up on views.... It is grade 2 listed.... and has to be preserved... pictures of interior and exterior....... Graveyard is our responsibility and access has to be permitted given due notice..... Those buried are listed with me.... Gerry....
@@user-rm2nb7zq4m the exterior of the chapel is still in very good condition, some of it can be seen on this video. I will fly around more of it next time I do an update so this can be seen. I have seen some interior pictures and the inside of the main chapel is in great condition too, some of the rooms and corridor around it have water damage but the chapel seems well built.
Sad. So sad.... Remember the plan that Archbishop Worlock went out to consultation to All interested parties. Opposition was staggering. We were determined to save Upholland....
@@user-rm2nb7zq4m Would’ve been such a different place today had the opposition not been there. Such a stunning building.
My lovely late husband who I lost 2 years ago worked here in 1973/4 when it was Baileys night club he was a doorman there and I was there myself for a few night outs with workmates saw a lot of good groups I don’t live in Oldham now I loved living and working in Oldham made good friends over the 16 years I had lived there ❤❤thanks
@@MargaretEiffert-bl1ds hope it brought back some good memories for you
Went regularly when it was Baileys. Some great nights. I had my 18th birthday there.

To think i was stood inside and then on top of that collapsed roof a week or so before it fell still scares me, got some good pics from inside the twisted roof though 🤣

It's been empty for years what is going to happen to it
@@pauljonnson1181 there is still hope it can be run by a charity as a community theatre. The longer it’s left the more it’s going to cost in reactive maintenance though
How do you get it, Thanks!
@@woodyoldham7647 I presume you mean get in? There was an open window….long sealed up now though. Sorry
@@1974bazzaaa even though the video was posted 7 days ago???
@@woodyoldham7647 yes…but was filmed about 6 weeks ago….its been sealed for over a month, trust me.
@@1974bazzaaa okay thank you
When you opening back up?
very very sad. Just shows you how the Corporate world breaths................................
Very sad to see it closed up, so much history in that place
@@jennyhacking1289 hopefully it’ll get a new lease of life. If someone will fix the roof and get it watertight the foundations are there to get it operating as a theatre again. I agree it would be a shame to lose the theatres we have left.
@@1974bazzaaaI hope so, used to go to College in Ashton and although I never visited the place myself, it meant alot to people I know.
Brilliant detailed video. Love that intro with the old footage, and that light you use really does an excellent job in that main arena! I did walk into a few webs myself when I was there but I didnt realise just how many there were! Really good stuff and one place I will be keeping an eye on 👍
@@stevoid thanks, and the tip off from you won’t be forgotten . I appreciate the kind words. I do like pulling the history out when I can find some. Just wish my battery hadn’t died near the end so could’ve got the last bits!
I use to go on Saturday mornings 70 years ago, and in later years the bowling ally.
@@geoffreygartside7320 would’ve been so different back then I imagine?
Used to be ghost walk around this building back in the 90,s
You’re right Jon. Would have loved to have seen the layout as I knew it from its various guises. Froggies, Romeo’s, Flies. Would love to walk round that dance floor one more time, trying to cop off.

Squatters rights if homeless could of moved in put lock on door plenty things to build its workshop and sell unwanted stuff , what you got bits chopped wood cardboard pipes miscellaneous Stuff bricks oh Lannie and those factory photos are super cool, tell me you saved the pictures Aerial Photography IV never seen that in empty factory , there was a huge factory near me coutaulds and we just moved in and when other companies complained about up getting free electric we just moved to another unit and no one was bothered untill people comitting suicide falling through roofs stealing cable a crazy place and time , my dad installed paper machines all across England and abroad he probably worked there
@@charliecharliecharliecharl8554 some great comments there. Bet your dad has lots of cool memories of places like this.
@1974bazzaaa he worked at Westbury engineering in Elton bury they made the paper machines and he went to factory's and built the paper machines across uk bank of England India and Sweden he worked as engineer maintenance fitter at other factorys like scholses tottington letting me light coal boiler with oily rag when I s a kid and when I worked at a paper mill he told me I installed machine there like no big thing good memories of being a outside kid
@@charliecharliecharliecharl8554 amazing
@1974bazzaaa all gone now no industry now houses better than empty factory even though well made you couldn't start a business in old factory because health safety asbestos brown sites, found out what those big round things were pressure ovens or something IV never seen a hole factory for cigarette papers hope they keep the lodges they alwy fill them in
Only ever went there once when it was Butterflies in my college days.
@@markorollo. sounds like a name from years gone by!
@@1974bazzaaa 90's, not sure when it became butterflies.
@@markorollo. I don’t think it’s the name you’d call a club these days! Or maybe you would 😂
Jesus, that place has really gone down hill since the last time I visited. That pool table was in great condition. The room behind the stage was still nicely laid out, Now its completely trashed.. And where has the piano gone! This is why I hope to god the hippodrome has been sealed now!
In th 60s when it was the Astoria, I saw Dave Dee, Dozy Mick and Titch there. 😊
That’s some time ago. Great memories I’m sure, Who were the people you mentioned?
Theh were a 60s band x Google them.
got to say the concrete and foundations that this place will have will make the demolition profit not worth it even the scrap metal wont cover it c machine design will be meters and meters into the hill side and floor
The cost covering/profit will come from all the homes built on there surely? It’s in a really rural location close to Manchester so I doubt prices will be that cheap!
If they've got planning permission to build houses the owners will sit on it until the price goes up. They always do. The government gives you 3 years to start building after planning permission is granted. There are exceptions sometimes.
It's awesome. Moved down south from Skem as a boy in 1978, I just thought of this place today. I never knew what it was or called. Always impressed me.
It’s got so much to it…hidden away from the road. I’ve been in once but I’d love to replicate that if the opportunity ever arose
Where was this? Just researched. Heywood
If you put Mutual Mills into google you’ll get the info you need. It’s part active, part under development into housing.
What a shame its finally gone, my favorite explore ever many visits here i used to sometimes just go and walk round the place haha, i've got a fletchers shirt and tie to remember it by 😃
Sadly so, pretty similar to me, just wandered around on my own a few times too, whole silent factory to myself. Never found a shirt, only ties (which I left as I’ve got enough clutter at home), probably regretting that now 😂
I’ve got a boiler suit and tie mate!
@@drewcyprus3714 I saw the boiler suits but couldn't find a good quality one so took a blue and green shirt instead 🤣
@@limpjaffacake luckily cause I’m thin as a rake 😂 I managed to find one at the back in my size. Miracle really
@1974bazzaaa in your clutter have you ever come across fire water sprinklers with glass ampule I have a few they're cool trinket also I'm a 74 er
Not much to see here. I would have liked to have seen the vastness of this former cinema, club etc,. All you showed is a few boring rooms. Could be anywhere. Not interesting at all.
It was called the Gaumont when I was a kid 65 years ago
Classic cinema name!
You are only going to see more and more of this. They need the scrap iron and steel to manufacture NEW steel. As a nation, we can no longer manufacture steel from RAW material/ore, so we rely on scrap. Why? Ask your stupid politicians. Soon we won't be able to make paper.
I would imprison the people who allowed this demolition. Unless, of course, they want to build a luxury complex for illegal immigrants.
I agree with you. Stop the boats .
@@annbarns652 👍
Small but important grammatical point: 'Explore' is a verb. The word you need is the noun: 'Exploration' ! Bill
Absolutely brilliant video this Baz. I was just expecting drone footage but the fact you walk round the site really made my day. Amazing to see all the familiar bits of machinery amongst the mangled mess. I must get back up there myself for a farewell look, any sign of security?
Thanks. I had to go for a look! Sad to see all the bits o remember from the inside, relating them to the rooms they were once in. I was there just under an hour and didn’t see anyone until I left fortunately, then I saw a guard out on patrol. So I guess just lucky timing.
I used to do swimming lessons here as a kid 😂
Bet it looked better than it does now!
@@1974bazzaaa yea it was well good, shame to see it destroyed now
@@1974bazzaaahey mate I just got a question I’ve went to the place and me and my mates couldn’t find a way in we are new to exploring and treat places with respect, I’d really appreciate if u could let me know the way in. Thanks ❤️👊🏽
@@Cryptic_Ghost really sorry but unless I show an entry point in a video, which will be because it’s soooo wide open it’s obvious, I won’t give access points out. It’s not personal but more because I don’t know you or any other person that may read this and some places are really dangerous and I’d hate for someone I’d given a location to to get hurt because they weren’t prepared for the risk. What I will say is that part if the fun is finding the entry points, unobvious doors and windows can sometimes be open, keep trying them if your exploring. For this location the entry was fairly easy to find with a good bit of looking so possibly it’s been sealed up now?
@@1974bazzaaa yeah 100% I understand but yeah everything was sealed up so we couldn’t find a way in sadly
very sad this to see this one of the last bolton cast in foundry beloit wisconsin / charles walmersly paper machines of bury was beloit walmersly lots of local history destroyed by time and cheap chinese demolition equipment
Can’t help but feel with the right ownership and adaptations to fit in with the era we live in now, that this place could have still been running.
I’m guessing it was stunning once
I think it would’ve been very grand, there once was a lot of large Victorian houses in this area sitting on large plots of land. Unfortunately they make good sense for developers to knock down and build multiple houses or flats on!
@@1974bazzaaa yes it’s sad because modern buildings just don’t cut it

I would really like more history on each property if possible Regards Judy P.S. If ever you need help exploring I would absolutely love to help .
Thankyou, I always try to get as much info and history on the places I explore. It’s one of my favourite bits learning about how the buildings functioned in a previous life. Some of my other videos have loads of history on them, such as the ones on Robert Fletchers Paper Mill
Need to pan the area more slowly. This video made me dizzy. Had to turn it off.
Thankyou for that comment. I will try to ensure that in the future.
