Nice film about the uncomplicated early 1970's, everybody had good confidence going into the future, the economy was booming, lots of jobs, you could work all you wanted, in this time period salaries of skilled labor sometimes rose more then 10% per year. Good times indeed!

Prachtige video! Zo zie je maar dat Koningshooikt heel wat meer te bieden had dan alleen maar bussen.

Mooie herinneringen ! Alles ging toen ook zonder internet en smartphones. Men ging naar de bank en haalde geld af aan het loket.
Geen problemen om zoals nu een geldautomaat te vinden in sommige locaties ! kortom: het leven was eenvoudiger.

The factory looked in better shape in 1970 than now in the last 10 years

1:55 Same view today, the street has not been extended. It seems though as part of the farm in the background has been demolished.
