This footage is absolute gold

Thanks for the memories 😀

Doesn’t look much different

Nice video, lived in Worksop all my life. Not the same now obviously but still not a bad town.

Wow! - amazing value of cars on that driveway, way out of the reach of most.. getting one car was a struggle for most, but 4 including a Healey 3000! - prices to buy them/they were worth at the time in today's terms probably total about £120k or thereabouts - HP and bank loans much harder to get for vehicles then - the businesses must have been making some serious profits in the background!

It breaks my heart what the rubbish local council has done to Bournemouth in the last few decades pedestrianising Boscombe and the square. They turned the town in to a dump, they should have their pensions taken off them.

Like to see all the old cars in Bournemouth long gone, but perhaps a Morris Minor still survives today.

And then some people invented the World Wide Web and killed town centres and changed the world forever.

A lot different then, much better times, now it's full of immigrants.

Memories

I lived there briefly in 1984. Everyone was lovely to me ❤

The creaky cars of the 80s can hear the engine and everything

Excellent matching of sound track to dancing! These would be rich kids at the time, so cool. An E type Jag!

I absolutely loved those little cottages when I went as a kid. Is there anywhere similar I can take my daughter?

every where was probably better in sixties than it is now

Love the part where the lad asks if it’s gonna be on tele 📺 3:10

Sincere thanks from Somerset, fascinating film and perfect soundtrack, very clever.

before it was a shit hole

Im 42. First went to Poole in 1995, then 1996. I decided then that i wanted to live there. Property wasnt expensive either and cheaper than in the Midlands. Years later i got into a relationship with someone from another city and moved there had kids, relationship ended, couldnt move away from kids. Been many times from 2001 - 2022. Visited 7 times in 2020. Its changed so much and not as nice as i remember it to be.

left 1960 never came back only to see family lived in london now in the Fens of cambridge.

God what beautiful memories. I used to ride on that Poole Park train with my Mum, probably in exactly that time period. Also the drive over the crest of Evening Hill, heading towards Shore Road and Sandbanks. My Mum would tell me about how she saw flying boats in Poole Harbour during and just after the Second world war. Quite emotional to see such an old memories brought to life! Thank you Rod Bean for posting this.

thanks so much

Hi Rod, would you happen to remember "The Great Crazy Critter Bonanza"? From my research, it seems to have been brand new around the time of your 1986 visit but we have no confirmation of it's opening outside of the company's name records in 1985 matching with the company name on the concept art and a newspaper from 1989!

I love these videos but always wonder what the reason was for filming them.

No-one was overweight!

A blast from the past, especially seeing C&A again!

The sad fact of the matter is that back then - Worksop looked great and was full of open shops. Worksop now is an absolute shithole. I am telling you that Selby is 10 times better than Worksop and Selby is also a shithole. Harehills lane is a safer and more enjoyable place to spend a Saturday night.

Wonderful. Thank you.

That's back when Bournemouth was a nice place. Now it's just a dump full of immigrants and evil drug dealers. Shame on this joke of a country! Glad I moved away. Laughing stock of the world!

From 9:00 - for a couple of minutes, not given on screen, it is Parkstone, the park near Ashley Cross, Parkstone Railway Station, St Peter’s Ashley Cross where Baden Powell is buried.

Great to see this video ,I was there with an ex girlfriend & her parents I was 21 she was 17 ,first time I went ,it was November ‘91 when I went ,bought clothes & still remember buying sonic for my mega drive ,don’t think girlfriend approved ,remember that day like yesterday .When England was England 😔

I used tohave a flat then very happy times

This is quite remarkable, especially the quality and colour; What camera did you use?

Anyone remember Trolley Buses in Bournemouth.

When Bournemouth was still beautiful….before it became the dump it is now!

Smashing video, thanks for sharing. I was 18 at the time. It's great to see all those now classic cars looking nearly new. Town centres were so much nicer then. Sadly, the nice people now shop in out of town retail parks, leaving the town centre in a downward spiral of beggars & drunks.

No women in burkas 😂

Thanks for the video Rod. I’m too young to remember that you could drive through the square and weird to see buses driving up Old Christchurch Road! But shows you how great Bournemouth looked back in the day.

Being able to drive through Poole park😮

Oh the Hants centre lol

Great video unfortunately crime and other events have really destroyed the family attraction of my home town which looks like a different place now.

Absolutely beautiful. This was the year I was born. My late father was a gardener and worked on the displays in Bournemouth and Boscombe gardens for years. When I see them from this time and the lovely comments people make, I cant help feeling proud. Does anyone else scan these videos to see if they can spot anyone they know or knew?

Fantastic. My sister in laws house there on Chatsworth road!

The sooner a time machine is invented the better. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Brings back so many happy memories

On another note, not a pot hole in sight..

Take me back...

This was taken in Doncaster, Dave Cox in the Sprite and Chris Haslam a red Mini not sure which one 🤔

Hi Rod, was this taken in Worksop ?

Great Footage Rod. The club is still here in Worksop and going strong.
