A memory blast!!! Thank you for uploading this video. I believe that the tobogganing scene was taken in Mill Meadows, at the top of Bell Hill We used to have an old car bonnet that several of us lads would clamber on and end up in the bushes at the bottom of the slope. Great place, Great times and a great Memory Blast👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤
Seem to remember my old class at 6.48. I think that was Cynthia Batty and Janet Hooper, then us lads Dickie Bird, me and was it Richard Prior, John Drake etc.
Good to see this stuff of everyday folk and life in the 60s. When was the bit that starts at 5.07? It seems to jump ahead to about 1969, based on how long the guy's hair is - but I don't see a mention of who/ what it was. Nice to see the mods/scooter boys and Moshorty Band lads, especially dressed in men's kaftan type style. Are those scenes from 66 or 68? Some of the lads seemed to have skinhead style hair cuts, or early suedehead maybe. Did they think of themselves as that? What kiknd of music did Moshorty Band play? - Ta!
Yes must have been around 1968, Moshorty played a variety of music including The Doors and one day Bob Jelf for no reel reason decided to crop his hair!

That doesn't look like Billericay High Street, I certainly don't remember most of the buildings shown, but I could be wrong.
Just out of curiosity what is the name of the wide road at 09:45.
Ha, Ha, I'm sorry but it was so long ago that I can't remember, often thought about that!

Why does everyone always play back old footage WAY faster than normal speed? Is it some kind of rule? Or was everybody just faster back then?
No speed looks about right, these days people move much slower as they are walking about looking at their smart phones!
