Interesting archive thanks for this footage. I get the feeling The Rockers never went away we get invaded every May Day by them. Somewhat more mature these days and welcomed by most locals.
Loving this style of reporting. As one of the hastings Park Rangers I can say this is one of the best places for Parks and green spaces. I also ride a Vespa. Come on in, the waters fine.
That's you're opinion like everywhere in life there are nice areas and bad areas Hastings has it's rough parts so does london It's the same situation worldwide and believe me i have travelled the world to places you could not possibly imagine extreme beauty and i quote'Shit Holes' in your limited vocalulary !!!
Nice to see the newsreel.. London Bobbies flying down ? So what landing strip then for a plane that size ? Dover / Lydd ?? (miles away) HMmmmm we were all missinformed way back then I think.. lol. Someone say if you know what landing area.
i remember the skinhead battles in margate..1979..80..81...london skinheads fighting mobs from medway..chatham soul patrol was one.. we were scooter skins from st mary cray and orpington..but we stood with london..strong links with the pimlico "shed" mob... 20 years after the mods.. ahhhh m8 them dayz
.....sorry, I meant 1964! I was 10 years old and very impressionable....
