I was 7, almost 8! Probably dragged my mum all over the areas you captured, every Saturday, shopping for the very latest thing! Always remember Ratners on the corner of Eastgate and Northgate St. Not my decade, strictly speaking, but an eternally cherished and sorely missed time of life for me (if viewed, perhaps through rose-tinted glasses?!)
Brilliant upload - thank you! Couldn't believe how quiet it it, but I guess in those days shops didn't open on Sundays, did they? No McDonald's either. :)

It's amazing how, but for a few giveaway details that do date it, otherwise it could have been filmed yesterday.
