- One Sunday 1989 I went out and filmed a few pubs that I thought would be gone one day.
Also filmed is the pulling down of New Street to make way for the Alhambra center.
Wheatsheaf Racecommon Road
Vine Tavern Pitt Street
Corner Pin
Chennells Wellington St remember the beer off at the end of the pub
Industry inn Baker Street known as Paddy's
Jingle boy at the end of the street
The old bus and railway station.
Feel free to comment.
Memories like this make me sad and happy in one foul swoop, thanks for the upload pal
great stuff, certainly brought back the memories, tear in eye time
Omg the old bus station!! Fantasic footage,keepgoin!!
Blimey, that takes me back. Great video. Thanks for posting it, and thanks for having the foresight to film it too :D
Was in the Gyngleboy the night it opened. They were giving away tokens for a free pint of beer. Ah, the Vine. There was a pub in Castlereagh street that also went, the Cricketers or the Gardeners, can't remember now. The Luftwaffe couldn't have done a worse job on Barnsley.
Gardeners Arms - fantastic jukebox
@@reddishtykes Thank you. The Gardeners Arms. Yes. Wish we were there now having a pint.
@@TheSecondof5 We always played the same three songs - Johnny Cash (Guitar Man) Maria Muldaur (Midnight at the Oasis) and Elvis (His Latest Flame). The Tarn was great in those days - The Castle Eden in The Globe was something else!
Gosh! We left England in 1987, so this is a good walk down memory lane. I worked in the No. 7 on Shambles Street for a while - mad place! At the weekends we started the night at The George, then the Bodega (pie and peas on Saturday morning), then somewhere else I can't remember, then back to the George for t'last uns. Albion was the owner at the time. Can hardly manage two pints now haha!
love this.
The old Co-op building is now gone sadly due to fire
Enjoyed that mate, have you got any other footage from this era?
Christ was this 1989!? Feels like yesterday.
Very very interesting--good on you for those images--keep up the good work--you may be interested in A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE--sunday 28th September at the town hall --I have over 4 hours of archive films--
BARNSLEY yes lads!!!
Only bit worth saving was bulldozed - railway station
Still looks like this today 😂
I'll bet it does. I haven't been back in years but the last time I did many of the shops and buildings outside the bus station had been painted in lurid, clashing colours and that big old building near the market looked like it had been hit by the Luftwaffe. Bits of steel debris were hanging off the side and it just looked generally untidy as the work on demolishing it seemed to be held up, for whatever reason.
And then there were all those banners - Barnsley welcomes LGBTQ pride with the six coloured rainbow. Each to their own I suppose but it's not the Barnsley I knew, it's lost its soul.
Jesus memories, great vid
God! The old bus station where the drivers had to reverse out. What a dump it all looked back then.
Haven't been back there in years. Used to love having a walk around the Fleets, Smithies res and through those back fields all the way up to New Lodge.
Can anybody remember the old pub that got demoed at the top of new street ? I think it was called the old provillean
Old Pavillion
shit hole then shit hole now.
Would have been a thousand times better without the music
