I thought the music was good and its happy music, but it was music akin to one of the old American comedy shorts.

I think at this time he was just a twinkle in someone's eye!

He's my nephew!

Born here in 1945. The town was great back in the 50's ,hardly any crime. Saturdays were Woolies days, the market, Bell and Billows, and of course Saturday morning pictures at the Granada. All changed when the new centre came about, it ripped the heart out of the town. Very fond memories of the early days.

@@michaelyates5976 I was born in 1960 and how I wish I could go back to those days as opposed to now in 2020. Fair enough we live a better lifestyle nowdays but if you go back to the 50s and 60s, well you know what I mean and Britain was different then.

@@tonitg8021 Nice to hear from you Toni. Yes, far less money about then and hardly any tech stuff. My battery powered Dansette record player was the nearest to high tech that I reached. But I think that people were far healthier then, less junk food and far more exercise. Fish'n'chips were virtually the only takeaway available then. My earliest recollection was 1/3d. (6p) for cod and chips, batter bits were free lol. Chips were 3d. a bag and there was an uproar when the price went up to 4d. Great days and as you say, a different Britain altogether. Are, or were you, a Kettering person?

@@michaelyates5976 I was born in North London and lived close to North London until I moved to Sheffield in 2003. Back in the 1960s when I was young the only junk food we had was fish and chips as the foreign influence was yet to come and Britain was still British. We used to get free crackling from the fish and chip shops and then the Wimpy arrived and then we used to start going to the Wimpy for Wimpy and chips back in the early 70s for about 26 pence. I remember the old currency and black and white tele with two channels and the rag and bone man coming round on horse and cart and the first music player I has was one of those small cassette players that we had in the early 70s. Its a Britain that's gone and never coming back.

Actually, Gold Street has changed considerably - the old Post Office buildings seen in the video were demolished in the mid-70s to make way for the Newborough Centre (now Newlands).

@@Cytringanian I mean around sheep street. Same old buildings by look of it.

It has. Its a third world dump now. All foreign and dirty food shops as all the decent shops have gone, horrible place now 😢

Thanks for the heads-up - I've removed the offending comments!
