I took cine film of the school in 1972-73. This is the first in a series of short films that we hope you will enjoy! This is just the school (before it was cleaned!).
1972 we moved into the Old Fort Prescott Street. You can see the Royal being built as I did for 7 years out of my bedroom window. Went to Rathbone then the Collegiate for 1 year 78/79 before we moved. Great video just as I remember it. Thanks for uploading.👍🙌
i love footage like this. i'm american and so it's fascinating to see a slice of everyday life that was unique to that moment only moreso cuz' it's another country. my dad had tons of 8mm film from when we were kids in the 70's that had been transfered to vhs and due to certain circumstances it's gone forever now which really sucks. even if i know nothing about the people in it old footage like this is as close to a time machine as we'll ever get.
Very evocative of my own schooldays in Liverpool 69-74.
I noticed particularly the fewer cars on the road.
Thanks for posting.
Oh my word! Brings back memories. I was in 4B in 1973! Thanks for sharing👍
Glad it was good for you!!
My old school 67-73. Happy days. Bill Currie
What a Wonderful old film. I am from the South End of The City but grew up in this time period. I left school in 1976.
My dad had a cine camera. In 1960s. In Liverpool

They Wud eventually turn this beautiful buildin into “Luxury Apartments” that we’re impossible to sell by the few ppl who moved in
A good friend of mine in the seventies went there,Keith Anderson. now there’s a blast from the past. 😉 🇬🇧🏴 Ps. Time stands still for no one. 😉
My mum always wanted me to marry a Collegiate boy. I had my eye on one but he didnt even notice me 😔

@@tonyceltic8009 This striking building was almost knocked down! By the madmen in the suits.
@@michaelgaskell7408 million pound flats now...shame. I reckon the fire was deliberate to get them made.
@@bobwallacejnr6852 What fire? has the collegiate been knocked down ?
@@bobwallacejnr6852 Yes it was started deliberately but by local kids from the area!
