    What an absolutely amazing video. You can really feel like you're back there. Astonishing that you caught a prang on camera too. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for posting this. it was like being in a time machine. Loved the old cars and buses, boy they looked old fashioned, made me feel old too .Hope the gas van driver was ok .An important social history film. well done. From over the border, South Anston. Greetings Worksop. Nice to see the old shops. things were much better then, t=you could keep a girlfriend for more than 2 minutes, and the pubs were full. wonderful.

    I'm not from Worksop but I loved all the old cars and the steady driving. God no stressy rushed driving. Brilliant.

    I've always said worksop looks as if it hasn't been touched since the 70's. Now I know its true!

    I passed my driving test in July 1981 in Worksop! Even better ELO's Time album knocked the royal wedding album of the top of the charts!

    I lived on Shepherds Avenue from mid 1960's to mid 1980's and this brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting this video.

    Was just getting over how Mansfield Road looked pre-by-pass, and a second later I think the truck's going to come straight through the screen and hit me. Seriously though, it's great to see it given how much I've heard about the town the last 30 years

    That van driver just went straight into the wall! I bet he was looking at his phone...
