I was brought up in Bradford in the fifties and sixties: Canterbury Avenue Estate and Eccleshill Estate, they were toughish estates but everyone had a job, I remember two women rowing in the street and one shouted at the other "you want to get your lazy bloody husband a job". You were frowned down on if you didn't have a job in thoses days. In the sixties the slums were being pulled down and Bradford was a great city. And then...

Just look at Bradford now.  Bet you are glad we won the war now...

[BatmansArse]

@SILKWORM777 Nobody won the war

[Holymowlam]

Don't they know there's a war on? Seems idylic, but then again, Park Drive has always been a bit well to do, even today.

[alak58]

[no1beanflicker]

wow, they must have been rich! a car aswell!

[no1beanflicker]

thats so fuckin cool

[craiggz]

Better without the music. We lived in Leylands Lane - it used to be super area to live - loved it back then. You had a good childhood - that's great. Music is somewhat frantic.

[Xxpunk8401857]

I love videos like this.

[yorksshirepud]

looks like you must have been a bit posh. Most everyone I ever knew at that time lived in back to backs and had no car or movie camera. Looks like it could be Heaton .Bradford sure has changed from those days. I sort of liked the old Bradford better. Even if it was called Mucky Bradford and had all those mill chimneys. I enjoyed the video .

[Captainjjb]

yes I think they were quite well off for the time from what I hear. Glad you liked it.

[Mollweidekadet]
