Barrow in Furness 1964

[@freespeechforever]

Children not only had more fun in those days they were a damn sight fitter than many of their modern couterparts. I love seeing vids like this one, it's sad to see Barrow town centre so damaged by vandals/morons and the number of shops closed is scary.

This was filmed by my mum, Jane Rayner, who still lives in Barrow. My late dad, Brian Rayner appears at around 1:19 with my late Nan from London. I appear at around 1:44 on the left in a hooped t shirt. Hilda Parkinson is the girl in red.
