Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 This isn't exactly high quality footage, but the locations are recognisable (just) and kept me watching it all the way through. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well, i had a look at the above CT and I'm sorry to say I hardly recognised anything. I thought one shot was of Mansfield Road, at the junction of Huntingdon Street. Of course I knew the view above Victoria Station clock. The last couple of minutes of the Council ' shed', thought the camera had just aimed the lens at a couple of postcards. This was six years before I left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Thankyou for the footage CT. In the opening shots I found the areas that my relations lived in. Vicarage St, Woodborough Road, Alfred St etc, but most of my recognition was due to the landmarks, eg the Baptist Church, and also my memories. It calls for 'A cup a char and feet up on the pouf session' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Oh my goodness, that was so boring, I watched it all and I’ll never get those 11 minutes of my life back! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I know what you mean. I watched it through in the hope that something would happen.....but it never did. But you have to watch it all the way through to discover that there's not much worth seeing. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
