Loved it , could watch stuff like it all night . I remember all of it, The station tower ,Co-op, the YM disco, meeting my nana at the bingo and walking home to Woodstone tce , after calling in to the chippy next to the bingo ofcourse , (name????? )oh the memories, THANK YOU for sharing
ps I should know the name of the chippy as my aunty Crissie worked there for years, (help)
Boring boring boring. What an opportunity to get shots of Lambton Colliery and Cokeworks missed. What was wrong, could he not be bothered to get his backside down there ? there was more to Fence Houses than just the bloody front street.
Well unfortunately, we'll never know why he didn't take the camera down Lambton Lane, because Mr Sharples died quite a few years back. But hopefully you got some good shots of D Pit and the Cokeworks that you can post - or could you not be bothered?
that's a cracking video .not much different really .the railway crossing building was a good one until some git set fire to it , they should get that line running again and have the metro use it
Fredrickson's chippy. ( I think )

Superb footage...
I can remember shelter outside the old Bingo hall, before it was an old folks retirement home,
And the old Co - op, they had a bank up stairs and a section that sold wool, buttons and thread.. A long time before bajgie and the B & S...
And I remember waiting for the trains to cross on my way upto school, Dubmire, loved the signal box...
Happy (ier) days
