Amazing to see all the cars from the 70s and 80s, 88 would be the year of the F reg car, mainly all fords, vauxhalls, some German makes and a few far east motors but thats really it, when i view these clips the memories stored in the head seem to flood back. This was a time, a good few years in fact before mobiles even made an appearance, no tech about!

I didn’t realise the surgery at the top of Skinner lane was built so early, as I remember some empty terraced houses being there, opposite the old bus station. But then, that would’ve been.. 1980 ish........😱😱

The two mini roundabouts that stand there now (and back then). Have they always been there or were they taken out (and now put back in) when the traffic lights were put there?
@251hanomag

They took them out around 1997. And put the traffic lights in. Resulting in lots of traffic jams & long queues. In the early days, they kept breaking down & traffic again flowed freely, till they were repaired. Finally in 2015, they put it back similar to how it used to be.

I keep seeing something else that I didn't spot before every time I watch this. I don't think the huge chimney to the right of the picture at the very beginning the video (near where the Asda supermarket now stands) is there anymore. I think it was Fells Carpets.

Fascinating. I assume the demolition rubble at 0:56 is that of the old school?, it was cleared to make way for Morrisons supermarket. It looks a bit too close to the roadside so I'm not sure. Someone please confirm.

Correction to my earlier comment. The school looks to still be there. The rubble must be some cleared houses.

Morrisons was built in 1990, on the site of the school. There was a lot of clearance of houses etc, in that area from our 1st 1985 video to the last one in 1990. We still have 1989, & 1990 footage to do yet.
