Preparing for RUclips 2 decades in advance. You're a visionary.
Wow. Now I look at this and see how it was for my mum when she was a wee lassie. Wow. Just wow. Great job!
Tbh, if it wasn't for the cars I wouldn't have guessed this was 83. Looks just like I remembered it in the 90s
I lived in Kilmarnock for 7 years from 1961 and I have fond memories.
I was born in Kilmarnock in 1983 X
Went to the old James Hamilton in London road from 1960-1964.Also drank regularly in theBroomhill Hotel,and the Foxbar,when we moved to New Farm Loch in the early 70's.Great memories.
@@sandradee1579 the Charleston was my fathers local while we lived in new farm loch. He only took me there once that I can remember, but I drank in it a few times with mates at the time. I have heard new farm isn’t as nice any more?
@@sandradee1579 I lived just off South Dean Road and went to the ‘new’ James Hamilton academy up til ‘81. I had to walk back home at lunchtime to make my ill mother her lunch. You got around 45 minutes and it just wasn’t enough time to get home, make lunch and get back, so I decided to go through St. Joseph’s school every day thinking no one would know I didn’t go there,( it was mightily dodgy going through a catholic school going to the Jimmy). Every day I would be 5 minutes late getting back to school and every day I would get the belt for it. Like I say my mother was ill, so it was worth the belt. My mother died last October.
Came across this video the man who made it Alan marsh good old man. I remember him from when I was younger. Drinking in the hunting lodge he lived up stairs. Thanks for the video Alan 👍🏼
Thanks for posting, love watching it.
That M and S was still there when i left late '17. That Town was destroyed by industries deserting. I saw what was once good just living there for 3 whole years. Every day i saw that packed up cinema on Titchfield.
Video started at MacPhail Drive where I used to hang around in 1983. I would have been 18 then. Interesting to see the old haunts.
year I was born great to see it back then see parts have changed but a lot remains the same
Nice wee 02 Touring, that was a scarce car even back in the day
My uncle,Matthew Brown used to have a sweetie/grocery shop at 6 Dundonald Rd many years ago.
Aw wee cherry the dog x
Yeah a lot of changes there; pity we didn't have you doing this in the 60's the younger kids of today would have seen how beautiful Kilmarnock was; but your doing a great job; keep up the good work;; a comment on the College; pity he din't know it was just across from the Dick Institute then before it moved .
great memories, really enjoy your vids
Building at Low Glencairn Street was BMK
Cracking videos, hope you don't mind me posting a link to your videos on a historic site with credit to you.
I remember Downtown video shop but not AutoCare stereos 😩
Hi Alan, if memory serves me correctly, you lived in the new houses at bottom of Holmes Road? If so, I used to deliver the Sunday newspapers to you. This would roughly 1988 onwards.
Hi Alan.
These videos are brilliant, well done and some great memories.
Would the BMW Touring 2000 sitting outside your shop be my old one, YES99L by any chance?
Cheers
Trevor
What was the big concrete building at the corner of Low Glencairn St?. And Titchfield St seemed to have more buildings on either side.
ayrshireman1314 whare in ayrshire are you

I come from this town
So do I X
It was a right hand turn at the traffic lights to go to the college mate no left lol 😉
Was thinking that myself lol
Hugh was my cousin.RIP
Not really a comment but a question. Can anyone remember the name of the shop on High Glencairn St. that sold printed T-shirts, badges, heavy metal things, studs for jackets, etc. and also, I think, halloween stuff and suchlike. Early to mid 80s? Thanks.
it's green Street btw lol and it ain't a rugby club it's rugby park lol other than that class video
Who is that opening Autocare?
Hmm even by 83 they had already knocked down most of all the old historic buildings to give us a shitty shopping mall and fuckin multi story carpark; EAC still crap till this day.
Yeah, it’s shit. From a teenager who lives in Killie, me and my parents found a video explaining all the old streets like Duke Street, Waterloo Street, Regent Street etc. Can’t believe they knocked down all those old and beautiful historic buildings to make a shithole! I’m pissed off i never got to see them!
Place got fucked and deserted by companies. These guys are friendlier and less cynical than us Weegies.
Looks the same
