As a Stopfordian, it’s a shame I missed you on your trip around my great Town.
It would have been an honour to meet you and give you a guided tour of the area and maybe fill you in on what’s happening around Town, and maybe show you a few hidden gems.
Stockport is in somewhat of a transition, with lots of improvements being made, which sadly makes the place look pretty sorry for itself at the mo’ due to lockdown. However change is coming, and not just change for the sake of it, but cultural and historically significant change is happening. Rediscovering some of the old features and opening up areas such as the Underbanks.
A few points on your video, the building you referred to as an ‘ex Primark building’ is not so, as Primark is still there in the larger building further along that road (nothing to be proud of but all the same 😇)
The Plaza is also an absolute gem, and is the only fully restored Art Deco Super Cinema and is truly incredible inside, having been Meticulously restored to its original state. To such detail that it was recently used in programmes such as Peaky Blinders.
Pretty much all the large stores are now indeed shut, with most recently Sainsbury’s closing its doors. That follows Debenhams, BHS, Marks & Spencer’s plus many others.
You’re right about the river being hidden although this happened decades ago when they built the Merseyway shopping centre. Maybe One day we could see the return of some of the river considering the lack of need of shops above?
Anyway it was great to see you in my hometown, and if you you ever return please give me a shout as it would be a pleasure to give you a tour. 💪🏻 J.
agree with you, i too am stocky born and bred, he need to come back, so much history to learn here, charlie you were so near where i live when you filmed the bus depot :) please come back soon x
The river wasn't covered over for the shopping centre if was originally a road built in the 30's
Stockport is a large town in Greater Manchester, England, south-east of Manchester, where the River Goyt and Tame merge to create the River Mersey.
@@SurpriseSurprise001 You'll have to judge that for yourself from the footage, as that is recent. I'd say it's had its hey days and the scamdemic has kind of brought it to its knees. The Specials rings to mind!
tfw almost met Charles Senpai once but was too shy to say hi
I do love these little walks and talks :)
Yea Pinac Charlie is a dude not as funny as yourself 😁
PINAC Reports hello mate fancy seeing you here 👊💯
@@moggles1818 ha ha ha Hello Sober! Good to see you pal!
When I see abandoned old Victorian, regency & old buildings in general, I always think 'if only the walls could tell stories'
I remember having a beer in the Mark Addie pub years ago, it was named after a guy who saved people drowning in the river, the thing is the pub itself was drowning when the river Irwell burst its banks!
@Michael John Dennis Come on .... He is only trying to do his job! ;0)
tbh He was nice enough about it, not like some of the others!
One thought ..... Security guarding, the only growth industry in 2021! ;0)
I too got rid of all social media months ago, Charlie and it feels good doesn't it.
He says on a social media site 🤦♀️
@@wigancyclist8913 haha exactly.
@@wigancyclist8913 OK so it seems I haven't gotten rid of all social media 🤦🏻♀️😂
@@fullstop3399 Facebook, twitter and Instagram probably what you meant, me too havent had Facebook for over 5 years now it's great
Thanks Charlie, in these sucky times your video's pick me up if only for 28mins. Stay well and love to you and your family.
Me too ove watching
Yes. The New West. Looks much like Chernobyl.
We will see the tumbleweed before long
Fallout from a poisonous culture enforced upon us and to be fair we've allowed. The animals and earth will start reclaiming thief land again soon.
So sorry to see those lovely buildings abandoned like that and they have covered the river the same here in Bristol centre
Same in Bolton too, Although a lot of it was hidden years ago, they continued it to make for a dual carriageway (Even filled in a canal)
Nice to see you in my home town, you are welcome any time Charlie. 👍
Scandalous how we are letting all these buildings go to rack and ruin whilst we keep building on green belt land. Then when they let them fall into disrepair its easier to pull them down and build some monstrosity with will last 50 years tops.
A family member is involved in civil engineering as a bridge designer (architect?). Apparently, they are being briefed to design bridges with a 25 to 30 year lifespan and have been doing so for 5+ years. Not so long back, it was 100 years or more.
Afew of them have probably been bought by over sees investors who are just waiting for the collapse of these listed buildings so they can rebuild at a low cost. I think its about time we put a stop to this. We see protest about war and free speech, id like a protest to protect these beautiful buildings
agreed,surely would be more cost efficient to repair these than buy land and build from scratch...its criminal
Total RESPECT to Martin he treated you with total RESPECT
Good man Martin from Ireland, he was a good sport! 💚☘️
I instantly could sesbe he was a decent man so as you saw I went very easy on him
🥔
I went to the air raid shelters many years ago a good day out
Very entertaining much better that the news and daytime tv, keep it up on a daily basis please
Morning everyone 😊👍
Great truths Charles, and really enjoyed the footage over here in Australia. I don't know when i can get out of here anymore, so nice to see England. Terrific footage.
Thank you for the chuckle with that security guard, Charlie, I love your mercurial side.
No matter where I live Stockport will always be my home ❤
Love your videos mate ,I’m born and bred Manchester.
Morning Charlie and folks.
The plaza is brilliant. Been to many things there and been on a tour on world heritage day. It's been restored and run by volunteers. As far as I know it operates as a charity. Great place.
Arhhhhh Good old Stockport, i knew her well. Went to College back in the 90s in Stockport, how times have changed. Great video Charlie. 👍
The viaduct in Stockport used to be the largest brick bridge in the world 🙂
Still such an amazing piece of architecture!
You know if you are ever at the viaduct look closely when under it.
You will see black bricks mixed in with the red. The black ones were to signal the people that died building the viaduct.

Love your walk and talks charlie! As someone who escaped from oldhamistan to greener pastures I confess to missing the warmth and humour of the people. Our kids are removing themselves from the area too. Go rural... What pandemic?
It's OK, Charlie. They built a puddle over the river. Always a silver lining! 17:14
Thank You Charlie.
Another decent working guy, having his job made that much more difficult.
Stockport has gone to the dogs.
Not just Stockport my friend it's everywhere apart from the city of London.
Gone??? It never left
Light-hearted Charlie!
god is great god is good let us thank him for our food❣️
I used to love walking round Stockport.
it's a shit hole
Charlie: you missed your true calling as a Tourist Guide. You are natural narrator with the gift of the gab
I love the old viaducts and factory buildings along the canals and railways. We have the same in Wolverhampton and Birmingham and the black country fantastic industrial architecture and engineering for the time. Sad to say we've not moved forward and a lot of countries have left us behind. The security guy wasn't so bad but paranoid.
Welcome to my home town... THANKS
Love your shots of architecture and urban decay. Keep doing your thing!!
Looks like a beautiful town / city
Very good speech about JESUS CHRIST! And the earn your place!
Charlie I’m so thankful that the videos are consistently frequent, I really don’t know what I’d do without ya man, I plan to PayPal you when finance gets better!
Charlie, just point to all the CCTV cameras when people berate you for filming them, there is no difference in what you are doing to what they are other than you are providing social commentary. In regard to that altercation you had with the tall guy who got on the tram, a nice retort would be something like “I’m making a documentary on cool looking people people” they all have egos which is why they confront you. If they respond aggressively just add “ and now you can’t be in it” Intellect and wit always trumps aggression. Enjoy your work
dont tell Charlie what to do.
@@chinafunnycrazyvideos4078 Im sure CV knows it was a suggestion not an instruction but appreciate your input
So many potential rent free places to stay!!!
The plaza is still open and yes its still a theatre. Recently watched my friends performing in 7 brides for 7 brothers, also performed there previously, and due to again at the end of the year
You see, the jutting out building triggers your OCD, whereas is triggers my urge to go and fetch a rod and reel, that little eddy would be home to some monster Perch!
Love Charlie, always puts a smile on my face....mad as a box of frogs great fun.
Love that sayin ha ha
Love my town
I’m from Stockport born and bred. Used to have a lot of rich history but like everywhere else it’s just becoming a run down shit hole. They are trying to renovate and bring more life into the town but I don’t know if it will improve anything. Thanks for the video as always, gutted I missed you. Take care and stay safe
Empty Primark store formerly the Co-op when it was a great department store empire. I remember visiting Stockport in the 1960's and seeing the river Mersey slice through the middle - beneath where the Merseyway shopping centre is. The Mark Addy was a legendary go to pub back in the day along with Tommy Ducks just off Oxford Street. The streets of Manchester and Stockport have all been ruined by unbridled corporate greed after a quick killing with no long term benefit to the people. I remember seeing a rag and bone man charge his horse and cart across the A6 when the lights changed. It felt like a scene from Ben Hur! The pyramid was built just in time for the early 90's property collapse. Its always been a white elephant as it doesn't work internally on diminishing floor plates. For a lot of its life I think its just been an advertising board for the Co-op.
A huge feeling of Futility.
The sounds of the Universe makes Charlie smile. And I love your smile. Wear no mask and pay attention to the random din.
Self humility is the absolute key.
And awareness and not to mention discernment.
Lots of love as always from your number 1 fan.
LOVE
I like the other Alfred quote - "some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn".
Very relivent more so today perhaps than when the film was released.
As someone who use to work at the pyramid and no longer works for them. It being abandoned has improved the place.
The bus station you are walking through at the end has now been knocked to the floor and they are constructing a new multi million pound depot including gardens and apartments.
Also the Plaza is still definitely in use as a theatre and cinema. It was recently used in the filming of Peaky Blinders.
I would love them to split the town centre in half, in the new regeneration of Stockport, opening up the River Mersey.
The Plaza is incredible inside!. ✌🏻
Some deep and knowledgeable things in here but love the humour too 👍🏻
You know this is spiritual Charlie,you know that this is in the Bible, these are the days Jesus was warning us about! For those who have eyes to see & ears to hear. Gob bless you Charlie
The pyramid looks a bit like the Tyrell building in the opening scenes of Bladerunner
Love it! Charlie I have never hand sanatized but with the guard you're not social distancing! I loved it pulling out that one to fit you're scenario.
Morning 👍 great work as always my brother Charlie 🙂 I would love go to Scotland anyday with Charlie because got a good friend live in Edinburgh always wanted go Edinburgh beautiful views good people Scottish people need go to lreland too see my lrish roots 🍀 🏴
The plaza was rescued a few years ago and now operates as a theatre/ cinema, often showing classic films. It was used as a bingo hall through the 70's before restoration. I don't believe it's government backed as it had the friends of the plaza organisation. It appeared last year in Peaky Blinders, it was the building used in the last episode (spoiler avoidance). Despite not living in Stockport for years,it's still my hometown, and I cringe at the way it looks now.
Think it receives national lottery foundation assistance.
Very interesting Charlie you show us parts of Manchester I've never seen pal thank you for getting a haircut very smart keep doing what you're doing we love this s*** respect
Stockport was a great shopping centre up till around 10 to 15 years ago. BHS closing and now Debenhams. So sad. Macclesfield the same. Lots of good shops gone.
not lead charlies veitch. its mercury for mad hatters
You beat me to it ;0)
Mercurous nitrate, curing felt! Yep!.. oh wait, whats in Thimerosol again?
Brilliant Video Charles
Nice one Charlie. Stockport, nah, don't think I'll bother.
In the end you got your way with security.
Glad you like to make your mother happy..... another great video Charlie...
In lord Jesus Christ name bless this man! Amen!
Nothing like a bit of Charlie to start the day off
I love the smile on his face here, both you and the security guard would get on fine 100%! 25:28
Really enjoyable video Charlie, thank you! By God that Co-op building is horrendous. And I noticed you'd deleted your twitter, sorry to see you go. All the best, now!
Compression on the bricks 😎😎😎😎🌈
Great camera, so crisp and clear. As per usual, love your honesty and beautiful panning of the scenery. God Bless you and your family. I've turned back to scripture and prayer too.
People have no idea how to trust something they can't physically see anymore - part of the systematic brainwashing starting from infancy. It's shameful.
Raining 🌧 again!!
Hey, Charlie! Thanks for a bit of Stockport. Haven't been there for many years. Inevitably, looks a but sad. Thanks for the continuing work.
Well said
It's so strange to see someone else's view on Stockport and all the things they spot. Having been around that place for many years - but not actually noticed how abandoned everything is. I didn't even realise the pyramid was abandoned too.
It scares me when I think - all those abandoned buildings etc, they once weren't.. and they've seemingly got into that state without anyone noticing. If that can happen, how much worse will it get before we notice?
Would someone be paying to guard an abandoned building? I know it's empty but maybe there are plans for it to be used in the future?
Went a wedding in that cinema a few years back. Lovely inside.
I've been to Stockport once. Weird place. Never again.
So sad to see the shops boarded up. In my home city of Oxford we have a department store dating back to the late 1700s recently closed. So sad.
Charlie turning into Sam Fisher to get past security 😂
Nothing better than a Charlie Veitch video.
The thinking man's CZcamsr.
Stranglers sang Mad as the mad hatter so I googled why years ago and yeah it's the chemicals.
This vid gives you a great insight about how the Western world will look in 20 years time.
It's this vid, only 20 times WORSE.!!!!!!!
😠😠
You can't beat debating with an Irish Egyptian dressed as a highlighter pen. You Stabilo Bossed that little bugger!
That blue pyramid grossed me out. Martin from Ireland and Charlie from Edinburgh.....haha! No losers, no winners. Those engineers way back then, fantastic. Love the uk for amazing stuff. Good video. 👍👍🇦🇺
Love it Charlie. Keep it up !!!!
That was quite funny 😂🤣❤️
My home town Charles. Stockport x x
Another jewel in the Northern Crown Stockport, or at least it was, decades ago. Shocking the decision making through the years from the local council regarding the town centre. They missed a trick with the centre when they built that precinct, the layout was all wrong. And slowly the whole place was under resourced, shops closed, pubs closed, shoppers went elsewhere. Some fantastic weekends shopping in Stockport in the 80s, and nights out. Some legendary pubs now long gone.
Charlie! I worked in that pyramid last year the Irish’ security man has a big heart and means well he is only doing what he is told to do
Nice one mate...Wish you would have been there last week when the bullyboy doorman stopped me from getting in and buying my groceries at sainsburys.
Glad you noticed how ancient the place is lmao
Cheers from the US! Always good to see a Charlie video before bed.
Tartarian architecture reset mudflood worth a look at
As a point of correction, the Mark Addy wasn't closed down by an human act of either the owner or the Council but by the Boxing Day flood of 2016, the water reached the lower edge of those half round canopies and they went with a hell of a bang, there must all sorts of perils in there not least of which would be Weills Disease.
..l smoketh of it, and behold!!!!....is was good..
I've never felt more helpless and living the Kafkaesque nightmare. These are desperate fucking times.
Gird your loins hold the line
@@johnfused8281 Thanks, John...Thing is, I KNEW this was all planned since last April. The more I've researched, the more corruption, lies, deceit and planning you find that has made this Covid nightmare come true. To live with this knowledge, ie, being red-pilled for this relatively long time and seeing the tyranny grow almost daily whilst you can do nothing about it is extremely depressing and wearing.
I think that most people at the base of the pyramid are ok, ie, the 99%. Once you start moving up, people become absolute and utter shit.
I would not piss on Johnson, Hancock etc., even if they were on fire. I'd actually search for more combustible material. Defintion of "evil" is sociopathy and society is full of sociopaths.
@@GNeuman I know mate it's insufferable watching everyone go along with it. I hold them complicit in this as much as the civil servants and tyrants.
1897, yes those were the days my friend, lol.. You're an extra good reporter!
P.S. I peeked at the end, it's devolution all the way down..
Dont give up on the West just yet
Some of us had no choice when you lose your job.your lucky you can work.
Another enjoyable ride Mr.V
X stay gold lol
I live on the hill above the audi garage. The building on the brige opposite where u saw the rusted metal has been renovated for the last year and is going to be offices. Great walk down the river to didsbury on the left.
Wish id of seen ya. 👍

British society NEEDS modern innovative, high quality, architecture.
.
omg the original jobsworth
If you have ever seen the show Peaky Blinders, you will notice that they filmed at The Plaza in Stockport :)
