    Judging by the vehicles this must be early 1980's.

    I too had one of those first cameras (a big camera and an almost as big battery pack that went over your shoulder). I wish I would have kept the tapes. Only one was saved and it's fun to look back and see the fashions and the kids when they were little.

    I remember the The Four Bridges being cobble stoned with tram lines like this. I had a moped in the 1980's and got my wheel stuck in the tram line on way to Wallasey, I managed to bounce the bike out of the groove safely! Great video was it a cine camera or one of the first camcorders?

    @andybb. Thankyou for your reply, I can vaguely remember that type of early day camcorder when I was at school. I thought you may have had one of the later cine cameras with sound. Out of curiousity what year was it and what was the car you were filming from?

      Don't know but it sounds like something by Shakatak. Tried shazam but got no results. I like it though.

      Well if it was filmed in the 80's why is Sainsbury's there at the end? It opened in 1982.
