class that mate , used to live down there on delacy st , back off lime kiln pub..lol..used to dj on the manxman with oli martin & john ryan ( played charlie the trucker in corrie street , looks like sean connery )....
What a fab piece of archive footage! I had my stag do was on the Manxman! Ialso worked at a publishers on the docks which you drove past on the roundabout going towards Morrisons.
This reminds me of driving around the dump in my mates old Cortina... But this is even more dismal. Late '70s-'80s was not a happy time in Preston. LOTS of unemployment.
lol at 3.08 "sunday, the 28th of............speedboat" haha, cant believe how much docks has changed, i lived across the road from docks in 1988, but dont really remember it like this as i was only 7
..Sunday the 28th of Speedboat.. I loved this film. It made me chuckle. Thanks for keeping hold of it. I used to live up the road at the old Cattle Market Hotel.

The wife and I met on the Manxman in 1986. Still together and occasionally have a walk around the dock sharing memories of those happy days.
