Caistor in the 1980s

Superb collection of clips from Caistor in late 1987 and early 1988. Great Caistor charactors from the the 80s generation and the cars we drove. Including unique footage from inside the Talbot and Red Lion as well as other long gone Caistor landmarks.

Looking at the last frame, was this before the by-pass? Used to be a decent night there - but now only 1 pub. Even a few years back there was the Lion and the Talbot.

Bypass has been there many years.... before second world war I understand

Thanks Degsy, I was the young girl in the spar shop. I don't look any different now - well may be a little older. So many olde faces! Emma

[degsy1965]

Thanks Emma

I hope you didn't mind me including that clip, that also goes for anyone else I have included. I went out of my way to choose shots that wouldn't embarrass or offend anyone, I just wanted to show some of the people and places from that era. For those who didn't know that's me walking into the Spar near the biggining. My now wife Sue is also in the video in the Talbot and sitting on the Market Place bench...

I love the song mate.

Is it Alphaville?

[degsy1965]

Correct it is indeed Alphaville. The track is called "Forever Young" which despite being a massive hit in Europe never charted here. As I am sure you know Alphaville are best known for "Big in Japan" which although was great, in my opinion wasn't as good as "Forever Young"

@MsFruitPastilles Defending a place that you like due to some familial or historical tie by telling anyone who disagrees with you that they are pathetic.. very cerebral(!)
