The rebuilding of Whitehaven town centre in the 1960s and 70s filmed by Mr Mason of Mason's of Roper Street, Whitehaven, Cumbria, UK
is it a silent video
Can anybody remember gunners club opp st nicks in 60.s.
Did that become the Whittington cat?
It was my uncle hubert I practically lived upstairs... Just down side road... He was the steward for years with auntie marge.....
So good to watch, thanks Alan and Mr Mason.
I forgot about Roans in the Market Place, Mark Taylors on king street
Amazing that so much looks exactly the same.
I grew up in Whitehaven in the 1980s/90s, so it's fascinating to see how different the town I remember was from just 10/20 years prior. Though I'd tried to forget how those horrible silos in the harbour dominated the landscape...
John Alderton opening the Co Op.....
My great-auntie said to him...on the day he opened the Co-Op..." I know thou an' I'll tell 'ee some-ut".. "I'd rather have the upstairs than downstairs lad"...lol as she'd seen him in the TV series Upstairs and Downstairs..
Do Mr Mason , you or Mr Mason's Family have any more footage from that time?
Sadly no
Oh what a shame, well thank you for taking the time to post this one.
Thanks - brings back memories.
Fascinating!
