Preston Docks, March 1986 

THIS was my playground in the 1960s it was a thrilling place for kids, providing Danby the dock policeman did not catch you.

Just think the baby is about 34 years old now... What a wonderful video & hard to imagine the new modern Docklands was once so barren... A windy dreary & somewhat miserable image but in a funny way it is so amazingly nostalgically beautiful.

fantastic commentary from you mate

Wonderful footage x so many memories xx i remember those times x my mum remembers when it was a working dock with banana boats arriving from aboard,x

The video comes across as quite nostalgic and sad, but at the time that was the beggining of the big redevelopment...an exciting time if I recall I remember looking at converting the old Pump House into a Pub/Restuarant for Robin Hill ...ah those Halycon Days

Incredible film. Unbelievable to see big ships still docking there when it was a wasteland, before any developers took over.

Preston Docks... a miss spent opportunity... nothing happens on the water or on land....a carpark over looks the water?????

Great video. So much more interesting that what it is now.... Lot's of memories in the docks too

I think I may have been there as a child

Precious footage.
