Whitsunday walk at Sutton-in-Ashfield about 1980. The film begins with shots of the Marketplace followed by the procession walking along Low Street. Were you there?
Sutton lost its industry, the smoking ban closes the local pubs , the council started filling houses with foreigners and baby factories. I grew up on carsic, it was always rough but they were all good people. Everyone knew and spoke to their neighbour. Now your lucky to even understand your neighbour up there, or sleep at night due to the baby factories next door keeping you awake with either screaming kids or parents pissed up shouting all night. The council is to blame for all of it. Take a walk down outram street and count the actual shops against chinese , Indian, kebab shop take always. Again the council is to blame.
@@leeludlowart237 Like that for Shirebrook pal, everywhere is for the worse, I'd rather be back in the 1970's & 80's than all the crap we see nowadays.
Great Video.
Great silent film, what happened to all of this fine tradition? Nice to see it and remember!
