Wow! What a find! I worked with these lads,,,,,,and also rico's dad Alf. Also wwent St Helens college with Rico. Jimmy was a character. I also remeber this programme being on telly 🙂
Lowton and Leigh , I lived there in the 60’s , along Slag lane , i had the best childhood , Lane Head, Pennington flash, Aspull common, Sandy lane , Plank lane , the swing bridge that my dads car waited by while the coal barge went along the canal, I wouldn’t swap living there for anything ❤️❤️
Very good, many thanks, great people, from when film-making was a craft.I thought the subtitles were unnecessary, but fair play, there weren't many of them, you didn't get regional accents on TV much in them days.The sound on the crossing the railway lines sequence at 12 minutes in compares well to the epic Tarkovsky's The Stalker train sequence but sunnier..
Awwwr Rico not around no more he passed away , this was mint when made in leigh , iam right across road from where that colliery use be.. not a mining town any more ..
wow, not a phone in sight... and look! peopple talking and not grunting at each other! walking with an old bsa mercury, without the thought police arresting you for carrying a weapon in public.
@@beth61962 It's from 1975. It even displays this at the end of the programme in Roman Numerals: MCMLXXV = 1975. The Steam train and railway in this film belongs to the colliery, not British Rail. Moreover, there are still steam trains running today on private railways all over Britain, so your statement 'The last steam train ran in 1968' makes no sense and is misinformation. However, the last British Rail main-line passenger steam locomotive ran on 11 August 1968. Note the difference.

What century is this?

This must be the 60s but looks like the 70s . The last steam train ran in 1968 .
It's the 1970s. There were steam locos shunting coal just around the Bickershaw colliery site back then.
