The Corsair is registered "B", so the film is post 1964, but the kid doing a Harry Worth dates it to the 1960's, so I'm going for 1967/68, not the 70's.
1:50 Lad doing a "Harry Worth". Harry was going on TV into the early 70s. We had a butcher's shop up Townsend Lane that had a shiny black stone shop front. We all used to stand at the corner and do the same. We knew how to have a laugh, didn't we? You know this was filmed on a cold day when the air was that colour in the background at 2:14. I remember going to and from school in winter in the early 70s in smog when you literally couldn't see your hand at arms length.
@@iant9461 Cold fog compounded by most houses using coal for heat led to some real "smog", true "pea soupers" as they used to call them, although strangely it didn't seem to affect our young lungs. When I applied for the fire Brigade in the 1980s and went for my medical, I blew the spirometer of the top of the graph paper !!!
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 No doubt due to the abundance of outdoor playing and exercise they all got back in the day. I heard recently that to pass for fire service these days it’s something akin to a stroll in the park.
@@iant9461 We had a variety of tests to carry out, lifting and handling various pieces of equipment, both individually and as part of small groups such as ladders and the deceptively named "light portable pump" (A "coventry Climax" powered man portable pump which weighted about half a ton), but the bit I always remember was the "carry test", Pairing up into teams of two and then taking turns to carry each other using the old "fireman's lift" for 100 yards in 30 seconds. I was 6ft 2in and about 16-17 stone and for some reason was paired with a Mexican looking lad who I'd guess was about 5ft 6in and 8 stone. Needless to say which of us never made it. These exercises were carried out with instructors running alongside you screaming down your ear to "get a f*ckin' move on you pooftah" and other such "encouragement". We used to watch the new recruits (before I retired in 2016) and how the instructors were now told to provide friendly support & encouragement especially for the "box tickers" who now are put at the front of the recruitment drives as they undertook their "walk around the park" as you suggest.

When being warm was more important than wearing a fashion name
Love this, when life was much simpler.
Kids without devil dogs, without scrambler bikes, without guns and knives and mostly without drugs..
Nothing like the modern era then.
Liverpool love the city the people have big hearts 🥰
the red bus is a Ribble bus, quite common in Liverpool back then
Dr Martins/Knebs and half mast jeans, got to be early 70s?
Who remembers the Flemings shop on Walton Rd…
The denims maker you mean - I wore them! Strange how they never caught on like Levy!

They still showed Harry Worth in the 70s (I remember it--born in 65). There's some denim and hair styles that scream seventies to me.
Deffo 70s. Haircuts and clothes and my Dads cars in the 70s were all 60s models.
That's early 70s at the latest. Description should be more like 1968 - 1970.

Wow!
Yeah and they are crying about climate change today. The air is the cleanest it’s been in 250 years.

Tommy keegan is my dad
He was 12 years old this picture ❤️
@@carleyduggan2883 Amazing to see that I bet.
Where was this
How many recognise themselves today and show their grandchildren?
Would like to find them!
Looks approximately 1968/69.
Where are those Children now?
That's Little Prince Harry at the start!! If only we'd known...
That's before the 70's
Fighting
No sound?
Most film cameras couldn't capture sound, especially lightweight portable ones.
It's unused B-roll footage. Sound would have been added during post editing.
Thatcher was waiting for them and the rest is history.....
Looks like Beirut.
All fashionable and regenerated today.
It's all gentrified now. Wouldn't recognise the place
Trophy Leeds scarf eh
When they weren't all rats. Shame I was raised alongside them.
No sound?
