Enjoyed the ride round Gisboro, been coming up to Guisboro for forty odd years, to see my old Army mate, Des Clements, who sadly passed away about seven years ago, I still pop in now and again, And stay over at the Fiddles, thanks for the memories Jim
Nice one. I remember standing watching at the open doors of the Blackett Hutton foundry for hours. Remember working many sessions at the Moorcock over 3 or 4 years, for some reason seem to recall cashing-up 2 grand over the lounge bar Fridays, mid-70's
THis is fascinating. I was 21 when this was filmed. My family moved to Guisborough from Scunthorpe when I was eight going on nine. Went to Laurence Jackson where my Dad was a Teacher (Tom Cox). Don't live there anymore but its a beautiful little town. Excellent pubs and close to some beautiful countryside. Lovely place to grow up.
What a trip down memory lane! Left Guisborough in 1984 aged 17 so this video pretty much captures a moment in time for me. Fantastic footage and a soundtrack that brings back memories - thanks for posting.
So nice to see Guisborough, i left there about 83 aged 9, stayed in Cobble Carr, near the Moorcock and have never felt at home since ! I also loved the cinema, went to watch Starwars there a few times :-) I keep promising myself i'll go down and spend some time there, just need a Raleigh Grifter to explore it all on :-)

Was 11 in '83. Remember so much of this. Lived on Hunters Hill in Fernie Road then Rufford Close before moving to Australia. Many nights (some maybe underage) fun at Moorcock Pub on friday nights listening to Time Travellers DJ's. Was great and kinda sad seeing some of the shops and businesses on the main road that are no longer there. My mum went into labor with my brother in Rea's cafe. Anyone remember the Saturday arvo matinees at the fleapit Cinema. Great memories. Thx for U/L.
Great footage! Laughed when I saw Gaye Days! Loved seeing that old white and blue striped Escort Mk2 on the high street. I remember my brother filmed something similar roundabout the same time from Hunters Hill to Boro....now he films for regional BBC
me mam and dad live in this road i used to,think i played with you n ya brother when we were kids ,barry brown,the girl at the end is bev baily(now swales)remember it like yesterday good video!
Brilliant. I was 20 something back then. The cars look so dated now but at the time I remember them being state of the art!! Oh and cemetery corner - that was a death trap!! Thanks for the memories.
this is the year i moved to guisborough (i was two!) it's changed so much and at the same time so little... sad to think how much guisborough has lost over the years - the foundry, the shirt factory and all the different shops on westgate.. the only thing that took me by surprise was the lack of redcar roundabout!
great vid though! - got any more interesting stuff??
Well done on the video. Loved every minute of it. I was aound 9 at the time and was just about to move into Headly Street with my mam. Number 8. How times have changed....great job
What a class video - Thanks for sharing it. You must have used up 3 car batteries filming all that back in 1983! The police station had police cars, the ambulance station had ambulances - Those were the days!! With some careful freeze framing, I even spotted our neighbours yellow Allegro parked on Redcar Rd! Thanks again.

Foundry was Blackett Huttons. Good memories, I left Prior Pursglove VI Form in 1978, so not much changed since then.
