Thanks for posting. I remember these sights well, especially St. James's Street before pedestrianisation and the lovely colourful mural above Pendle House.

I'm numb - We always see the best of the 70s and 80s now when we look back, but this version of the World in Action theme just brings back how the period really was; sometimes desperate, sometimes terrifying! Very evocative, well done!

I remember when I was about 3 when my grandad sent me to the lake with a peach stone to try and catch a crab. I can still remember my feet being too far over the edge and then falling in! Luckily in the mid 70s the boating pool was so busy that I was soon pulled out. I still remember all the symp...

I remember when neighbours would just walk into each other's houses and it was just accepted. It would never happen now no matter how closely knit a community might be.

Suicide Bombing risk? Well, they were a few years early but it did happen at Glasgow Airport!

Great to see, when regional news had its own identity rather than the corporate mash up that it is now.

Oh how lovely and quaint - call "Keynsham". It would now be 0117 986 1717 ext 3139 . Go on ask about their credit terms - it might be someone in Mumbai or Newcastle-upon-Tyne who advises you.

@bazfanv2 Nineteen seventy nine - a LONG time ago in technology terms - remember internet only really came about 15 years ago!

Susan presented the local television news on the BBC in the West of England for several years, and she is missed!

As you'll know Granada really didn't go in for the pizzaz of jingles and idents during the 1980s. In fact the presentation was all rather so dull with a static slide. It was not helped by the highly professional but equally seemingly dull continuity announcers - except Colin Weston! I highly dou...

Oh my god, I thought I was interested in trains but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - must be my age but I am only in my 30s!

Amazing to see Docklands under construction!

The last bit of quality that hung on to Carlton / Granada aka ITV before it's very sad demise

Tacky start I thought with the same voiceover who had just said the last words on Thames Television "Thames a Talent for Television" as that closed down being the opening voice of Westcountry, the station which although ultimately liked controversially replaced the much loved TSW - and Trish Bert...

Here here, for all of us who were lucky to remember true regional telly wherever we lived...

@CarlD2 Rentaghost? it was Sue Nichols in Rentaghost - Audrey Roberts!
