Just started at Stamford Tech in Sept 1970. Lived with parents in St Georges Square. Passed my driving test in Stamford same year. Most youths hung around Red Lion Square where the road was black from burnt rubber of Mini wheels skidding as owners let the clutch in sharply!
Ah yes I remember it well, I would have been 13 then and as everybody else says, apart from a few changes to shops, streets and traffic it's mostly the same now.
Amazing. I was born in 1987 so it's similar but quite different now - you recognise the streets (HSBC/Midland Bank, Walkers, NatWest) but there are noticable changes, I wonder when the High St was pedestrianised?
I can't give an exact date for pedestrianisation, but I do remember it. I would guess it was very soon after this film was made: I would have said mid-sixties if it had not been for the shooting date of the film!
