really enjoyed it u like me must of had foresight, i filmed alot in those days, dureing the destruction of our old town by the council, keep up the good work, as all we have are memories of the people and the buildings the singer in the regal bar is BOBBY RIGG, KIND REGARDS B,J,DEVLIN
Quigleys yes, spent many hours looking at the window display. I think it was still open here - I don't remember it ever having a name over the shop though....
I remember Quigley's well ! Star Wars figures in the main window, and Airfix model kits displayed in the side window on Stephen Street. When you went in, there was actually two counters, the main serving counter ( He-man figures £2.99 on the rack at the end, next to the stairs), and a smaller counter at the side of the shop, where they had small model animals and stuff.
Ii wonder what Foreshaw Street would be like now it was still there today ? Probably all pound shops and arcades/bookies with most of the original shops gone.
I believe Mr Quigley is still with us. I wonder what he did or when he went when his shop was forced to close to make way for Portland Walk ? I'm guessing he's probably retired by now.
Interesting...the angling and hiking shop seemed to have a narrow alley at the side of it - I've never noticed that before ! I wonder where it led to ?
As I said, I remember the barricaded shop @0:28 was open as a charity shop when I was a kid - after a little research, I've found out it was an animal welfare charity shop ran by a lady called Peggy Rathbone.
mistofoles no it was open up until about 1993, just that it didn't have a shop sign on it. It closed roundabout when the Bus and Truck shop opened in Buccleuch Street
would enjoy videos better,if one could see the names of pubs and street signs, was born in Scott st. Barrow and worked at the Odeon till coming to Aus. 1956. My brother Bill loved Barrow and was probably quite well known. He was my last contact with Barrow, so Videos are much watched, thanks,MM.

Brilliant. Well done for having the foresight to take the footage, and thanks for sharing it now.

More great footage mate. Cheers. Abbey baths - that's another old memory! I believe that its a court building now.

After it closed, the Swankey's store was briefly used as a charity shop in the early 80s, I remember going there as a kid.
loved going down this street so many different shops and always went in the petshop each time.Shame its gone new Portland walk is nowhere near as good
Sarah, I must admit you surprise me....I don't mean to be rude, but you don't look old enough to remember doing that !
Bobby Rigg gets everywhere ! can hear him singing regal bar :)
I really missed Quigleys toy shop next to the Angling and Hiking centre when Forshaw Street was pulled down
1992, wow. I was starting 4th year at St Bernards then.
Please post more if you have it.

Ha ha, aww ! Look at that little dog patiently waiting outside the pub for its drunken owner !

I think it was access to the back of the Travellers Rest pub that was on the corner of Forshaw Street and Dalton Road
Ah, Ok ! A secret entrance ! I wonder how many drunks used that after being refused entry at the main door by the bouncer ? :D

@ 0:42, that shop next to the angling/hiking shop used to be a toy/model called "QUIGLEY'S", had it closed down by then?

If Quigley's never had a shop sign, how do we all know it was called "Quigley's" ??
