I wish Christian was still like this now instead of all the Americanised commercial corporate crap it is now 😢

I spent my first nine years during that decade and things were less complicated back then! Rather different now, as I am now aged fifty four!

Sound steel 💪🏻

council and other related authority: we call it moving with the times, progression and well-being general public: we call it destroying a once fuctional town with rural sights and some outstanding buildings, public transport that worked and didnt bail out at 10 bays (north gate bus station) and not 1 but 3 train stations (st johns street and bridge street), high street shops that were practicle and of course a thriving market.

Lived there in 1975 Worked in Tuttles record department

Oh my gosh, I remember this 😢

You can walk in the town centre and not hear any English spoken at all.

..look at the dress code am amazed and please upload more vids

..No laptops,cell-fones,eleccy scooters ..you walked to work and grafted

..absolutely fascinating watching people walk to work ..wow the 85 bus + 53 bus still run today as am sure the 192 bus may of done, ..this is what schools and colleges should be learning our kids this is education ...🙂

1968. The year the ruination of the area started.

Wonderful to see immigrant free.

The model village is Eastbourne but other bits are Herne Bay.

back when we had a market, its a dump nowadays

Fantastic. It's a bit different now , unfortunately 😢

The seen at the Pub playing darts I was looking to see if Compo Cleggy and Nora Batty was in there celebrating Christmas 😁

Brilliant!

The gulls never change , Just us 😊

Showed several businesses but not Coach Works the biggest

That takes me right back! I was born in Bletchley in 1970. I recognise all those places, my Grandparents lived in Woughton On The Green in 1976. Great days, sadly missed.

These were the best times.........

We never went skiing. Not that I would have wanted to particularly. But life was about family, whether some people wanted it to be or not.

I recognise a few people. How lovely to see this.

Interesting Although it should be somewhen the 80s as the Regis Centre Theatre was compleated in 1980 and it looks as the landscaping is established

How sad that every child mentions Nuclear Weapons.

And now it’s Tescos and TikTok. Great.

My dad made kitchens out of all the wood from Wolverton station when they demolished it in the late 80s early 90s

Superb. Thank you 😊

Excellent vid ... but ... what an opportunity missed. All u had to do was add all the popular 1950's songs to the sountrack, and u wd have had a winner ....

13 minutes into this video, west street subway steps, who's the girl with the guitar, somebody will know,

Grew up on Princes Walk in Lowestoft from 1985. Are there any photos/footage of it before then? Would love to see what it used to look like.

If only they knew what a dump it would become!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How beautiful an old English village, is it all still there ?

A lot of this reminds me of how Brighton still was in the eighties. I think change really started in the nineties and then with City status of Brighton and Hove from 2000 onwards. It’s still a great place and more character has been retained than lost over the years.

when yarmouth was great now a shot hole drug dealers stabbings not a nice place to live

Fabulous video. We moved to the area in 1970 and there are so many places that I still recognise. Thank you for posting.

Yooo this is sweet

This *really is* from the 1960s, not 70s.

I love these videos. I've lived in Brighton my entire life, and even though a lot has changed, much hasn't. It's quite nice to see after most people complaining about how bad it is now. The beachfront is still great. The laines are still great. The Pavillion hasn't changed much at all. There are still hippies and musicians on the walkways. The vibe is very much still there.

Home, back in the 60s.

Moved from Islington to Stevenage grew up in Archer Road Pin Green. The shops King Pin pub and community centre was still being built. Webb Rise and on to st nick’s didn’t exist. Fairlands valley Lakes was a farm. Moved away in 87 was shocked on one visit back to see the shops gone as well as my first local the old Pin had some good times in there late 70s early 80s. Best thing as a kid was the cycle paths playing for Fairland Youth FC happy days

A lot of ‘rhubarb’ added to the sound track i’d say. Good video. Wish i was then.

I was seven years old in 1963 and remember the town just like that.

Into my heart, an air that kills. From yon far county blows. What are those blue remembered hills? What towns, what spires are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain. The happy highways where I went. Can never come again. My hometown, the town I still love. In 1963 the year I was born. I now live in Cornwall, far away from a town that is not even a shadow of it's once thriving self.

Not many asylum seekers how bliss

Wow.

Once upon a time. Since allowed to decay by a corrupt Council and become a Mecca for Dossers and the 'Entitled'....

And when I DO send a letter to home these days, it takes three days to get there and costs me £1.35 a time.

When everyone dressed up

Brilliant footage
