- Preston, Lancashire, in 1969. Amateur cine film of St George's Shopping Centre three years after its construction, Preston Market, the Salvation Army Building and the Bus Station which was nearing completion.
Thanks for the huge bout of nostalgia. I was brought up in Preston and left a couple of years after this film. It was a great town. I go back now and am so sad. The heart has been ripped out of it. A lot of the centre is like a bomb site.
I really love this video of the Preston of my childhood, especially as it shows my dear old dad, God bless him, at 2:44 -2:46 leaning on the lamp post waiting to get served on the fruit and veg stall. What a lovely surprise when I discovered this. Thanks for uploading it.
I come back to this vid when I need a fix of what Preston was all about...even though so much of old Preston had gone at this point...the essence was still there and is captured here
so cool takes me right back my nan was the manageress at thornton's toffee shop in st georges we use to pile in there at weekend for freebies
Brilliant thanks!
omg I am so old I remember eating my sandwiches with my mum in the bull ring avoiding the pigeons that waited at the top for anybody that would dare to eat under them. Thanks for this video and Zodiac toys I still have some Star Wars figures with there price tag on them :)
Yeah,and all the shops AND cinemas were within short distance of each other.Even the market has lost it's soul! Sad to see.Nowadays you have to travel out of town to do most things now.And we don't all own cars......that's called progression.Separate the people as much as possible!
jeez i remember the funky wall art and the phone box as a lickle boy holding on to mummys hand as we walked through. 1969 ish
the days when shops didnt need shutters and all the men wore suits, wish i lived in these years instead of todays lol
was a lot better back then open no roof no security moving you on,you could sit on the seats in the open air,mind you we had better summers back then any one remember mac fisheries on the corner??>
The year of my birth, Zodiac toys in st Georges, that cafe (might have been forshaws) did proper kenco coffee which was really posh back then, none of you starbucks/nero rubbish, spiral staircase. shame the market isn't still that busy. back of saul st baths.
I love the music too!Sounds like a theme tune from 1970's cop series!Well,thanks to Shazam it's Time to Freak by Barrie Gledden & Tim Reilly,released in 2010,strangely enough. They've recreated a real good old sound. Found it available(first in list) to purchase on WWWaudionetworkDOTcom/production-music/time-to-freak_26824.aspx
Could anyone tell me who the music is by and the title of the tune ? would really appreciate it.
