- Many requests were slower speed version.
So I made long version.
I wish that you could remember your past with this film.
I shot this 8mm Film at 10AM to 1PM on Sunday 8th of June 1986.
(At 2:52 the clock tells AM10:20.) [Super 8mm Camera was Chinon Pacific 200/8 XL.]
View near Center of City is from 4 mins 20 seconds of this video.
There was “SAFWAY”, but now (2019) “Waitrose”.
I was shooting this film by hand during walking, so this video may make you dizzy. If that case, please play slowly by TH-cam video setting.

I've lived here all my life, and was a young lad when this was filmed. I remember the High Street like that. Things have changed, and IMO not for the better.
From 1982 to 1987, every Saturday, my mother would drive to Canterbury for shopping, we lived near Dover and, in the 80s, Canterbury was the place to go to. Parking was difficult back then but we would usually find a place behind the cinema or Orange Street. Forget Ashford or Ramsgate. Amazing what the town centre has become. Debenhams gone? Wow. After lunch at McDonald's we would go to the cinema, every now and then. No cinema in Dover and only a small theatre in Deal. "Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom", "Ghostbusters", "Police Academy 2", "Back to the Future", "The Goonies", "Rocky 4", " Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2", "Good Morning Vietnam" many classics seen there. In Mercery Lane, Albion Bookshop for school textbooks. Anyone remember an old man with his dog repairing glasses corner of Lloyds Bank? Quite sure there was an Our Price Records store when the Marlowe Arcade opened in 1985. I purchased a Go West vinyl there. And a BHS store with a cafeteria upstairs. Many memories....
Canterbury has always been the place to shop. Deals cinema the Classic shut in the miners strike 1985. All the towns were good for shopping then but I agree where debs and Nasons were is bad. I hope ashcroft opens a Frasers there. Still has Fenwick and M and S. Our price had 2 stores. 1 in long market and 1 in St Peters St. Marlowe Arcade opened 1985.
@@gabriellaj.o.6180 Dover has never been a great place for shopping, Deal was even smaller and a high street that of a seaside town. Canterbury was the place to go to on weekends. I did not know the Classic closed because of the miners strike, did see "Return of the Jedi" there in 1983. If you lived in Kingsdown, there was no other...
@@Truthseeker1515 We were from Deal. It was posher than now but gritty. Mum used to food shops Sainsbury Dover which opened 1980and shopping was good then in Dover which had its own Our Price as did all towns bar Deal. Dover Sainsbury is now empty by Charlton Centre opposite derelict Iceland.
By the way I love the old dears posing for photo by the River Stour near what's now Ask Restaurant and the man taking the photo. May they rest in peace. I like this as it reminds me of my school days and I visited Canterbury every Saturday by bus.
This starts from where I used to live, Spring lane Estate. My home city. Love it 👍🇬🇧
Spring Lane chippy, best in the city.
16:33 Straight through into the Cathedral Close without having to buy a ticket!😄
Thank you for this. I was 15 when this was taken and went to Geoffrey Chaucer School. Great to see how it was and so many memories of the city I used to live in.
Thank you, I lived and worked in Canterbury from 1975 to 1986, this is a great reminiscence for me.
That is utterly mesmerising.
Dear Toshihiro, thank you so much for this video!!! In the mid '80s I used to spend 2/3 weeks every summer in Canterbury. In summer 1986 I was almost 16 and I used to walk from the West Gate all the city center as far as to Mac Donald's and then down the subway...to attend English Classes for foreign students at the Canterbury College of Technology (which was open for secondary students during the summer). So much time has gone and my mind sometimes gets back to those good families who hosted me and to those amazing teenage years in England! I miss everything so much! Great experience thank to my parents who always supported me! My first son is now leaving in a few days for his first time to England (Brighton)...and the story goes on...! A big hug to the city of Canterbury, Best Wishes from Florence, Italy (26.06.23)
Thanks for your nice comments from Italy. I had a similar experience. I'm so glad it's helping you to remember the past. Best Wishes from Tokyo, Japan.
Beautiful Canterbury then but now it has lost its identification as a welcoming City. Thankyou for sharing this with us
Thanks so much. A lovely snapshot of times passed. I moved to Canterbury in August '86 so great to recall how it used to look.
Nice one Toshihiro! So many happy memories. I lived just opposite the Abbots Barton Hotel and went to school at the Chaucer so this starts with my walk home from school and takes me on a very nice trip down memory lane. Thanks for taking the time to slow it down.
I was stationed at Howe Barracks, Canterbury for three years. January 1988- January 1991, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment Of Fusiliers. Usual Army logic, post a northern regiment on the south coast.
I was taxi driving then JJ, probably got in my cab at some point. Thank you for your service to our country, much appreciated mate. Howe Barracks is all housing now, the government sold it. God bless you brother 👍👋🇬🇧
@@shaun5944 some of our lads also moonlighted on the taxis, I hope I gave you a decent tip. A good three years, a lot of us were sorry to leave. I haven't been back in thirty years, I would like to.
I remember you guys in Canterbury I lived there and was 16 .. this video is amazing I love the music too
@@catherinegarrard9241 I liked it there, we didn't always do ourselves any favours though. The behaviour of some of the blokes was not good, Geordie mentality (I'm from Manchester).
Gosh it comes back to me now. It's sad to see the decline of Canterbury. It's a dying city now and violent. One of the UK's top 50 dumps from one of the most desirables in only 3 years. Covid, internet and undesirables have ruined the city of my heart and home.
I wouldn't call Canterbury a dump... there are worse places in the UK...
Wow... Fabulous footage.
And Wow... recently visited and so much has changed. But its been a long time!
Interesting seeing the Nissan showroom at New Dover Road, which eventually became a Blockbuster Video Store - it's now a Premier Inn.
The one constant in that video apart from the banks, WH Smith and Marks and Spencer in the same locations is that Pizza Hut building.
Yeah - interesting seeing the WH Smith in that spot in 1986, as around 1993 - it was in a small and rather dark and dingy store outlet where Tesco is in this video(before the clocktower and next to C & A) - it moved back to that spot later on in 1993.
Pizza Hut still exist?? ....not in London. Haven't seen one for years and years. Maybe they're all in the South East!
Before tourists would fill streets of the city centre every day at that time Though I expect that was a sunday it was filmed on
Amazing video, I was born and grew up in Canterbury and recently have moved back to this great city. Do you have anymore footage of Canterbury in the 80’s?
Thank you for watching. I have only this video of Canterbury.
As someone who currently lives in Canterbury this is an amazing video to see! So much wasn’t built yet
Love watching this for the memories and seeing how things used to be,great video mate 👍
it's like an 80's google street view. nice!
Where did you get that
I took this film in 1986 with my 8mm camera. Thank you for watching.
Oh I saw some litter as well.
Captivating. Thanks
Thanks Toshihiro.
Great video. What is the name of the music please?
Thank you for watching. I made music for this video. So there is no name for this music.
