Thanks for posting! Who remembers sledging (plastic bagging) on that hill opposite FJ Lee's paper shop? There was about 15 of us on a giant plastic sheet, we couldnt stop and ended up in the middle of Welbeck Road... Went right under the gate at 14.34
Parliament Oak Pub ; I remember about 1988 . A big Brand new carpet was laid , and within 3 days a couple of blokes went in , rolled it up and walked off with it . L>O>L> Thats Woodhouse .
Amazing 'Paul Kenyon' being a local to Wudus for many many years I can't thank-you enough for uploading this, I was hoping to see a few I knew, my missus knew the woman at 10:19, she can't remember her name now but the woman in the blue coat worked at Mansfield Shoe Co' At 10:29 the driver of the red tractor was either a Lowe or a Mchugh.
At 5:20 the three lads running I am pretty sure the first lad with white shirt and dark hair is Dominic Miles. He was in the same form tutor as me. 5:35 you hear a voice say "Manor Rugby Team This Is!" This is without a shadow of a doubt another good friend of mine and his name is Paul Wass (Wassy). They would be around 13 years old here. Thanks for the Upload Paul Kenyon. Good times, when life was simpler and for us... not so serious!
i was a 16 year old and lived in the flat on the corner next to the shop and car park....didnt see myself though but brilliant and brought back so many memories.......having a beer in the Anvil at like 14 haha
Thank you for your comment. I remember The Anvil well, my grandma was a cleaner there during the 60's and 70's. She lived in the terraced houses houses on the opposite side of the Anvil until they were demolished in the late 70's.
Excellent footage took my friend back down memory lane, it may be a long shot but does anyone out there have any footage of Kirkby in ash field 1960s onwards up to around the 1990s I live in hope ta
It's good to see Woodhouse as it used to be.The girl carrying the shopping bag at 5.30 is I believe Sylvia Ward, a long time resident of Johnsons Yard and a then neighbour of my parents. Doug Richardson.
I was 3 when this video was takern. And still so much of it remains. What shocks me is the amount of cars driving about that would be worth a fortune now!
Loved this ❤️ I was 12, use to do them wreck steps everyday for school. Crosbys shop. Proper have me a blast from the pass - thanks
Most astonishing thing was how good the roads used to be !! Like driving on the moon now 🙂. Great video. Thank you for sharing Paul.
Just wondering if you could kindly share how "Woodhouse" is pronounced, as I've heard different pronouciations. Thanks!
@@nickiemmy9177 As a local lad born and bred in the town / village I would pronounce it as " Wuduss" 😉😊
doesnt help that cars are twice the weight of what they used to be
Thanks for posting!

Hi this video was made before I was born, thank you for sharing it is something I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
What a great video! Miss the Woodus high street

Thanks for your comments. It's nice to hear my video brings back happy memories. 🙂
@@paulkenyon6764 They absolutely do bring back good memories. Take care my friend.
Thanks. As a resident, I really enjoyed seeing this.

Thanks for that was good to see some of the old styles wish I gone round when I had 1 in 1980.
I was brought up on park hall road . That corner shop was handy. Good to see sherwood pit wheels, 3 years after it was shut.😮
looks just about exactly the same 30 years later lol

I had a VW camper van at that time. Wish I still had it.
A lot of fond memories there
I was thinking how little it has changed, kept thinking I’d see me razzing past in my mark1 fiesta
What was it? 'roll up roll up, to the greatest gig in town'?
I remember the Anvil used to have a good bonfire each year.
Remember that too. They also used to have one on the waste land opposite the Anvil in the 60's and 70's.
So this is what Woodhouse was like before I was born
Great video - anymore?
Unfortunately not. Most of the videos I took around that time are of family and friends.
Its bleak oop north ya know!good vid.
Thanks, will be posting one of Kirkwall and Stromness shortly. Taken the same year but from a car, not quite as good but still interesting.
I live ther
