Lived in Station road.the house is still standing.

Ahh great memories of a then great town. Everything you needed in a friendly busy environment. Happy days.

Fabulous ✌️

Mindblowing to think im walking through these same streets 24yrs on😅

Great video

I’ll send this to TE

This is good but id rather have the original audio then a music overlay. I'm sure by the looks of the video the original audio was available.

My first job was at the B I lots of good memories for me of Prescot and the trolley Buses to ST Helens.

What happend to the BI Buzzer? Where is it now??

Days drinking in the eagle then a walk to the fusilier the vic,then back to the eagle for a late one ,i can remember in the late 70s going scotch barn baths and you got a elastic band and when a light came on the same colour you had to vacate the swimming pool ye time was up , loving memories of loving times

I lived in molyneux and at 8 in a morn the bi buzzer went off same at 12 ,I and half 5 for the workers to to home I walked up station Rd going to school at besnconfields St the church school some times I went home down Manchester Road we used to call it the train way as the little train that went into the factory mum used to say Prescot will die when they shut down the bi and I think it's true I live in St helens but used tk go back to mums every week to see her and dad hut I wouldn't live jn Prescot now for a gold clock it's changed so much

I remember The Prescot Centre being opened by.......Tommy Mallett! Windsor Davies used to busk there sometimes and flog his cassettes.

Good to see this, I was probably about 17 when BI was demolished.

My old man was a driver at the BICC for 44 years, i went all over the place in the school holidays with him.Sad to see prescot without the BI, it went hand in glove with the town and so many peoples livelihoods.

God I hated this as a child cos it mean getting up for school but now I’m 47 I wish it was still with us and the factory with it ☹️

Ruined by dreadful, blaring muzak.

Manchester Road - not a speed bump in sight!

This was the year I had my firstborn .. so looking back now I vaguely remember the bicc definitely Scotchbarn as I was a regular for 20 plus years ...

I grew up in shaw LaneI remember walking up station road to go to my nana house In Kelly street

I grew up on shaw lane and remember the BICC buzzer well.

I grew up on Shaw Lane and remember this version of Prescot well. I left in 92 and haven’t been back since

Before the internet, before the death of Diana, before the News of the World scandal, before Jimmy Savile, before 911, before mass traffic, before the financial crash ....basically before the world went mad, it shows that a simple film showing everyday life of a small town can become a valuable historical artefact. Amazing footage! Appreciate the uploading.

I'm only 15 years old but ive lived here my whole life so I don't remember the BICC but it's so weird seeing places like Bridge Road not leading to the new estates. Station road especially, I only ever remember it leading to behind the North shops on the retail park but seeing it head into an industrialised area is surreal

What a wonderful piece of social history. It shows that Prescot was once a pretty substantial industrial area providing thousands of jobs for local people. BICC was a huge employer. Well done for having the foresight to record and preserve. I had a camcorder around the same time and never thought of recording normal, everyday street scenes...wish I did now. So much has changed over the last 30 years. Thanks for the upload.

Camera work was fuzzy, blurry and shaky, I thought the operator maybe had the DT’s? However on the positive side, it was a nice reminder of my days at the BICC from 1965 to 74 and I thank you for those memories.

My dad worked at the BI for many yrs as fork lift truck driver in 60's and 70's and my brother from being 16 till it closed

Prescot has a surprising heritage for a town so seemingly-non descript.

i live in prescot how nice to see the bicc and what prescot looked like you soon forget well done

Rapid

lovely part of Liverpool it has improved a lot since the 80s

that was a hot summer!

Shit town

No traffic congestion

is Blundell still manufacturing?

I have a theory about why the BICC whistle sounded in July, 1989 I went to Prescot the week after Remembrance Sunday 1989. I walked down Bridge Road to look over the bridge and discovered the whistle was missing. It looks as if the whistle was RELOCATED​ within the works And there the trail went cold until November 2018 when I discovered the You Tube post. I like to think I played a small part in the whistles preservation.

So easy to forget what it used to be like. How much of Prescot simply WAS the BICC. Remember how optimistic we all were about the Prescot centre? Fabulously nostalgic video. Did you film it Phil?

Great upload. Some good memories there, I used to live on St James road. Any one remember the old BICC buzzer lol.
