I spent the first 10 years of my life in those tiny back to back terraces, with no garden and an outside toilet or bath. Thought we'd got rich when we moved into a flat in a brand new 10 story block of flats, with a bathroom and underfloor heating. To cap it all it had large swathes of grass around it. I can remember the beautiful smell of cut grass on a hot summer night - felt like heaven.
Under floor heating is a huge luxury lol
bet that tower is not a shit hole lol
So if it was a back to back where was the outside toilet?
@seansmith445 the toilet was down the street and shared with other families. Always scrupulously clean, with a tiny oil lamp to stop it freezing in. The winter
Triumph 2000 , Cortina Estate , Mk 1 BMW 3series...great stuff!!
Cortina man
Amazing
Cracking loft conversions, Gromit
My pal lived there, felt sorry for her because you couldn't toboggan down the curly stairs.
The posh ones had yards. Washing line hanging on the house opposite.
Hardly any cars in 85 cos it was Leeds in thatchers Britain and everyone was skint.
Remember it just like this in the 70s brings back memories thank you
Back to back terraces.. one step up from tenements.
No back yards or alleys , back walls of the houses in one street are shared with the back walls of the street behind.
No private space at all , usually one ,maybe 2 rooms per floor. But probably still preferred over concrete slab impossible to heat 60's 70's flats that replaced most of them.
Terraces were amazing
So if there were no back yards where was the outside toilet?
Have to dis agree. See my previous comment.
Wish I could go back in time for a walk around
They are still there I live in one.
Honestly they are dumps.
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 Where do you live?
tbh most if not all of what you see in the video I think is still there without much of a change. Especially the shot of Belle Isle Road around 1:30-1:45, looks nearly identical to how it does now.
00 - 0.26 is panorama of Holbeck from Holbeck Cemetery.
0.27 - 1.05 Moving down Crosby Road looking west down the Recreations.
1.06 - 1.08 aerial view of Crosby Road looking north.
1.09 - 1.12 Recreation Grove from Crosby Avenue.
1.13 - 1.16 Back Colenso Mount looking east.
1.17 - 1.19 Cute cat in window.
1.20 - 1.31 Recreation View looking east, panning to numbers 44 and 46.
1.32 - 1.44 Random shot of Belle Isle Road LS10. travelling north showing numbers 342 to 324.
1.45 - 2.00 Rising shot of Back Colenso Mount from Cleveleys Avenue looking west.
fascinating. thank you for upload.
Looks like my student digs in Woodhouse, Pennington Street. No garden just a yard and 2 rooms per floor.
0:33 classic 3 series beemer...
Beautiful houses 🏠
Lmfao
Cozy window and cozy cat
Looks like my old estate at the start Holbeck
Cool use of the drone 1:44
I was wondering how that was filmed as it’s 1985 and well before drones ?
@@doublehaven they used dolly cranes still used today a poor man's drone.
Hardly any cars. Shows how many ppl drove in those days
I know it's Leeds and not Manchester but you could have gotten away with playing the theme to Coronation street with all those terraces and you even get a cat walking along the street at the end😂😂😂
thought the same :)
I was thinking Ghost town by The Specials 😂
Looks like some parts of Liverpool as well especially Dingle and Fairfield
Just need a pigeon the exact colour of coal dust and I’m home and riding a Raleigh Grifter again 😵💫
Most UK cities are similar. Just different colours of local stone used in the brickwork.
So few cars
Industrial heritage. These houses need to be listed if indeed they haven't been bulldozed already.
they indeed have historic and archtechtural interest and importance but by god living in one of those day in day out would do me in. the sense of claustrophobia and lack of privacy. the energy of so many closely confined humans would be soul deadening for me. the bleak non descript lifeless painful repetition from one house to the next on each side of endless streets block after block after block etc. ug!
It's all full of students now
@@haroldofcardboardthat discribes my habitat exactly at present...ug!
@@haroldofcardboard that's not what growing up in terraced streets is like. Has its claustrophobic moments but it also can be a cracking urban maze full of life. Unlike the more modern atomised suburban or apartment living.
They should be knocked down, this type of housing is unsuitable for the modem era of social isolation.
Today terraces exactly like that cost over half a million in London
Is it possible I have seen back to back houses on the bus route from Leeds city to Leeds Bradford Airport. I only recently discovered the name "back to back" houses. Every time I go this route I am fascinated and also scared by the size of the dwellings. Its shocking that people are expected to live in such a small space
It sure was possible as I saw them when i landed at Manchester airport and caught the bus to Leeds. Coming from Australia i thought I was going past Corination St .
That’s my local chemist.Looks a lot cleaner there than it is now
1:17 CAT
No cars or safe parking
Good job I didn't go down from south Cumbria on my YPVS to see my mate
Parking the most wanted and nicked bike of the 80's, no way
God I miss Elsie (bikes name)
Leeds had back to backs Newcastle had the Tyneside flat.
Lived there , Kirkstall we had our playgrounds , we had a community , today what do you have ??? , ppl called influences 😂😂, no understanding of real life !! fuck the internet 😊
Were abouts in leeds is this looks like hare hills
Holbeck
Top moor side holbeck
They literally didn’t know what a car was, poor buggers, no wonder Leeds fans always looked so tired and bedraggled, they must’ve walked all the way to an away game 😂
Its BREAD on location !
It's grim up north
Those looked like giant prison cell blocks. 😐
First
🏅
There is always a spot at the top.

@@simonba9944 i was just happy to beat that guy who does this on every video on this channel haha
@@marklola12 😂😂👍🏻
These were miserable places to live if you were in the wrong area of town.
Hope they knocked them all down now.
@mike smith Fine in principal but It doesn't work in real life.
People who don't buy their own house but get it for free destroy everything because it doesn't represent 10-20 years+ of hard hard work.
Alot of council tenants will smash-up a perfectly good house to get an upgrade because they feel entitled to it.
Nothing in life should be free, go east and to Asia there are no hand-outs, in the UK we have nothing but choosing beggars.
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u In my experience even the some of the ones that eventually do buy their own homes, due to being lower class rough scum they end up trashing their own homes, moving out and then doing the same somewhere else. The housing booms had devastating effects on the good areas, because the scum moved up the ladder into those areas, drove out the middle class and then proceeded to trash those areas. In my opinion you should only be allowed to move to an area, that already has people of your own class and quality, and anyone selling should not be allowed to sell to the scum.
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u And entitled immigrants
@@EgoShredder What a load of bollocks
In your experience?
Care to elaborate on this and don't give me that my comment is a year old crap prove what you just said? Complete bullshit
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u Nobody smashes up their house to get a better one you fool it doesn't work like that how out of touch with reality are you.. hilarious!
One word - depressing.
No they're not
@@thatcarguy6190 im obsessed with engines love my motors from whatever country I LOVE CARS! Plus the profile picture of a Sierra Cosworth pretty much sums you up. You clearly don't know any better.
@@swaneknoctic9555 Also means from my 3 word reply you clicked me and went looking around my profile WOW i didn't know i made such an impact aaahahahaha! 🤣
Leeds is only known for Jimmy Savile and having a crap Football Team not a good image to have!
Not true, it's known for the Yorkshire Ripper too.
@@dannyfriar5653 he was from Bradford
@@gazriley624 his first murders were in Leeds so he's forever linked to the city.
no, thats just your perspective.. and nobody cares about your perspective
@@dannyfriar5653 Best city in the north gay Gaz is just jealous..
Total dumps
Horrible houses, All were knocked and replaced in Birmingham.
