You were frowned down on if you didn't have a job in thoses days. In the sixties the slums were being pulled down and Bradford was a great city. And then...

looks like you must have been a bit posh. Most everyone I ever knew at that time lived in back to backs and had no car or movie camera. Looks like it could be Heaton .Bradford sure has changed from those days. I sort of liked the old Bradford better. Even if it was called Mucky Bradford and had all those mill chimneys. I enjoyed the video .
