Thank you for posting this! Although I was only 9, I remember this summer very well. It's great to see the businesses that have come and gone and I remember when the cinema was ABC (before Cannon).
From 1982 to 1987, every Saturday, my mother would drive to Canterbury for shopping, we lived near Dover and, in the 80s, Canterbury was the place to go. Parking was difficult back then but we would usually find a place behind the cinema or Orange Street. Forget Ashford or Ramsgate. Amazing what the town centre has become. Debenhams gone? Wow. After lunch at McDonald's we would go to the cinema, every now and then. No cinema in Dover and only a small theatre in Deal. "Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom", "Ghostbusters", "Police Academy 2", "Back to the Future", "The Goonies", "Rocky 4", " Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2", "Good Morning Vietnam" many classics seen there. In Mercery Lane, Albion Bookshop for school textbooks. Anyone remember an old man with his dog repairing glasses corner of Lloyds Bank? Quite sure there was an Our Price Records store when the Marlowe Arcade opened in 1985. I purchased a Go West vinyl there. And a BHS store with a cafeteria upstairs. Many memories....
I remembered the BHS which is now Primark. It has a cafe on the top floor where staff wore PVC aprons with the shop's logo on it during the 1980s and 1990s.
Thanks for posting this. I remember the old McDonald's at the top of the high street and what was about to become C & A. That also before that road was partially cobbled then bricked(it's tarmac in this film). Yeah, remember the old Cannon cinema(then ABC - and now Odeon).
Fantastic! From the old Geoffrey Chaucer School all the way to the Westgate was basically my walk home from school - I even remember that red 2cv at 1.16 - thanks for posting this
Absolutely brilliant. My home town. I've lived here all my life. Brings back some fantastic old memories. Have you got a version in normal speed please. And thank you for sharing your video. 📹👍
In some ways it's the same city the buildings are much the same but the companies have changed but the people are not the same. This was a kinder more considerate time when people cared and a more innocent society. What a big shame those days cannot come back.
I have been in Canterbury many times, in the "80/90 when I was a child to visit my nanny and grandad ; I live in Italy but my mother is english and I love Canterbury so much!!
Love this great memories what a shame it's changed so much ! I recall it from early 70s maybe earlier still know it today..st.augustine's road now too many cars and awful sleeping policemen like a chicane!.....thanx for showing this it's brought back great memories. X gosh it even goes passed where I was living off old dover road..Randolph close how bizarre....
Absolutely love this, do you have a version with a smoother frame rate, or is this how it was shot originally? Would love to see it. Thanks for the upload 😎
Thirty three years ago,some things have changesd quite a bit,many roads now closed to traffic,plus that hideous Ricemans building gone.What video camera was used?Great short film.
@@nakane3 It was a department store on Rose Lane at the corner with St Georges Street. Today it is a Metro Bank. As a kid I loved their toy department. They used to have a huge model railway in the window.
Very interesting video, but what is the point of showing it at such a stupidly sped-up rate? It would have been so much more enjoyable in real time. Anybody interested enough to watch this would have appreciated it so much more at the proper speed.

Fantastic! I turned 12 in 1986 and remember Canterbury like this really well. Thank you.
Great video, I was turning 13 in 1986 and this was the year I first went to Canterbury, it’s exactly as I remember it
That was my walk home from school at the Chaucer. What a very special film. Thank you so much!!
Wonderful, the streets of my youth plus a brief tour through my old school. Great video.

I love The original McDonald’s at the very top of Canterbury. Good times.
I worked there 😂

That was so nice to see really brought back memories .. thank you
I fell in love with Canterbury in February 1987. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
That's some film and thanks for sharing. the memories! fantastic - Steve Ware
Wow I remember Canterbury back then. The video actually starts in Suffolk road where my nan still lives. Amazing
Great video. Wish the traffic was like that now. Lots of telephone boxes.

Thank you for posting this. So interesting to see what Canterbury was like in '86. Any chance we could have it in real time as well? Would be great.
Fantastic! I was so quiet on the streets!!
Before the Sunday trading laws changed. It was a different world, wasn't it?
In some ways it's the same city the buildings are much the same but the companies have changed but the people are not the same. This was a kinder more considerate time when people cared and a more innocent society. What a big shame those days cannot come back.
And cars

Fascinating
I have motion sickness

Alter the playback speed in Settings!

I made SLOW version.
Notice no litter and no homeless people, no stabbings neither and St George's Street looked smart. It's due a revamp soon and badly needs it.
Forgot to mention as well I lived at Tennyson avenue in the 1980’s any videos of this ? 😊
Thank you for watching. I have only this video of Canterbury.
Yup - memories !!
Someone should do a split screen recreation of this same route now.
Omg I was in my second year at Steven and James ‘this is when Canterbury was good
Absolutely love this, do you have a version with a smoother frame rate, or is this how it was shot originally? Would love to see it. Thanks for the upload 😎
Thank you for watching. This is original one. I am very happy to read your comment.😊
@@nakane3 Hi! I have managed to slow it down. Would it be okay to send you the link so you have a slower version too? :)
@@lemonbade Please try 0.25 playback speed in Settings.
Toshihiro Nakane Also do you know when this was filmed - the day of the week/time? Trying to work out whether it is a Sunday etc
@@ThonColinFilms 8th of June 1986 Sunday. (You can watch the clock tell AM10:20 on this video at 2:52.)
Canterbury much better back then. Canterbury not the same now. I hate the way it is now
Thirty three years ago,some things have changesd quite a bit,many roads now closed to traffic,plus that hideous Ricemans building gone.What video camera was used?Great short film.
Thank you. This film taken by CHINON 8mm Film Camera.
Have You Got Any Pictures Of The Canterbury Fire Station Back in The Day
Thank you for watching. I don't remember The Canterbury Fire Station.
What is the music called?
Thank you for watching my film. Music called "Time Falling" which I made it.
EKV all the way down to the Cinema!
Rip all cars scrapped
does anyone remember the name of the really cool record shop that was on Lower Bridge St in the 90’s? i think it’s Hobgoblin music now
Parrot Records
Hi Toshihiro! Do you remember me? I was one of your teachers at Stafford House.
Hello Martin! Thank you. I remember you :)
where can you get street view
I took this film in 1986 with my 8mm camera. Thank you for watching.
Was Barretts closed at that time?
I don't know where the Barretts was.
@@nakane3 It was a department store on Rose Lane at the corner with St Georges Street. Today it is a Metro Bank. As a kid I loved their toy department. They used to have a huge model railway in the window.
6.09 where we used to go and smoke!
The doctor who music
Thank you for watching. I made this music with my iPad app.
The town centre looks pretty much unchanged!
Very interesting video, but what is the point of showing it at such a stupidly sped-up rate? It would have been so much more enjoyable in real time. Anybody interested enough to watch this would have appreciated it so much more at the proper speed.
Ah yes, I remember those days when England still had it's own identity and tourists used to like coming here.
Got a headache from watching this
