Er . . . it get's a little pervy after 6:50. The 70's eh?

No Brighton Centre.

 

[Leighgull]

That is outstanding.

No cars, very few ethnic minorities and no obesity.

Just incredible.

Footage is pre 1975; no Brighton Centre in road shot and no Marina visible from beach shots.

The fashion says early seventies too.

North Street pre-Boots.

great pictures

That's what Britain looks like before sugar and fat laiden processed food took over the nation...

 

[Fungus]

Wow, Google Street View was so much better back then.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

North Street pre-Boots.

Virgin Records and the entrance to the Big Apple in Windsor Street. Happy days.

Brilliant film, and my era too

There are hoardings around the site where the Centre was built, betwixt Kingswest and The Grand. Opened in 1979 IIRC? First saw The Jam there in '80, the year after The Apocalypse Tour at The Dome...

Shame no skateboarders were on show, as your's truly might have been featured

 

[timbha]

so innocent and brilliant.

No drug dealers in sight and they even let the tourists use the shelters on the seafront.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Even I was slim back then!

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

No litter blowing about that the fat and the workshy have luzzed.

 

[Weatherman]

The population of this country was about 10 million less then.
A far better quality of life with much less pressure on people.
The beer was shite though ( The Watneys red revolution )

Great find Albumen, fishing on the West Pier used to be a big treat (would have been about 7yrs old) & i f***kin' loved the spinning, spiky, sputnik star thingy.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Love it. And that seafront illumination on top of the shelter, glimpsed at 3mins 09secs; I really loved that as a kid. I think we called it the Sputnik.

*misty nostalgia*

Great minds - I was still watching the film when you must have posted

Found this too, interesting stuff. I can remember that weird spikey ball thing opposite the metropole so guessing it was still there late 80s/early 90s?
