POV driving through 1960s Redcar, rare colour footage
Absolutely Brilliant seeing Redcar in the 60's when life was so peaceful and respectful absolutely amazing loved it thank you
Lovely film! Nice to see Timothy Whites and Woolies and a whole host of other locally owned business's. I wish I could go back in time and just stay there. When I look around at our towns and cities today it's heartbreaking.
Don't worry, the rich diversity being forced down the throats of UK citzens will make it so much better. (Not).
Yep, Redcars a dump now, full of junkies and beggars, closed up shops, kebab shops and charity stores, no choice in much of anything, just different prices for the same items, even the gulls look depressed
Beautiful coach built prams xxx
happier days then than now,even the summers were better
Great memories of Redcar it was our destination of our annual Sunday School trip every summer from a village near Richmond
It's like it was yesterday in the film its very clear film footage.
Fantastic video. Everyone is dressed smart and look well mannered. No gangs of yobs in tracksuits. Attitude today is all wrong. What has gone wrong, its so sad.
ok boomer
This was the time of mods and rockers kicking seven shades of shit out of each other every weekend, not to mention northern ireland.
@@kyle8952 that was just a bit of fun atleast they werent mugging old people and robbing cars and houses for smack
The UK has just rolled over and let idiot politicians stage an open border policy and we are now reeping the benefits
@@kyle8952 There wasn't much trouble going on in Northern Ireland in the 60s, it really didn't start till around 69, but it was the 70s, 80s, into the 90s that the real trouble was.
Wonderful quality film
Notice how the clock roundabout is beautifully flowered, Redcar high st when it was a real high st so sad to see it now.
Yes. The council hide away in their multi-million pound offices, wasting money on 'hubs' and let the town centre decay
I've never been to Redcar, but I bet it doesn't look all quaint and lovely like it does in this film.
Ur right
I rode along that seafront 5 days ago, it's improved..I 💜 redcar...haters going to hate...
@@majackson14 improved? Does it rain on your planet!
I live near it. People from middlesbrough go there for a treat whereas I think going there feels more like a punishment
Yeah its been twinned with Kiviv
What a lovely place. Wish I had been there in the 1960s. Would have loved it !!!!!
We still here tina we love it ..
Its a junkie sh1thole now.
Lovely cars! This film is brilliant! I like seeing the baby in the pram too. I'd never heard of Redcar before!
Brilliant. Love this stuff.
I still love Redcar many happy memories 👍
99.9 of the vehicles British made and owned, not now
people saw the light. realised that foreign cars were better put together and more reliable. No point buying British if it spends more time broken down at the side of the road or is constantly back in the garage.
People had so much more style back then, they would even get dressed up to go shopping! Where did it all go wrong?
Thatcher ( spit )

So wonderful. My dad had a Wolsey in a deep maroon red colour, walnut dashboard and massive comfortable seats! Our local high street had a butchers, fishmongers, green grocery, sweet shop and post office, chippy, hardware store, off-licence and a shop that sold ribbons 🎀 and materials that my mum used to make dresses 👗 for me! I wish I could truly live back there again and appreciate the beauty
A time before Councils decided to spend more on road paint than on road surfaces.
This is wonderful footage. So clear.
Look what globalism and the greedy metropolitan elite have done to Redcar lovely place in those days totally impoverished and disinvested now I could cry!!!
Road fatalities; 1960 6970, 2010 1850. A reduction of 73% - even though there were 3 times less cars about then. Watching this you can see why!!
Most of the cars are either stuck in traffic or only doing 5mph through it now though, not to mention more are travelling in cars now and less walking. Cars are better designed now with a safety cell, air bags and compulsory wearing of seat belts front and rear.
And from the film I can see why, imagine what was then not uncommon, a drunk driver, and what damage he could do with so many walking on the streets.
The standard of driving back then was nothing like as high as today, that and old cars were notoriously unsafe and didn't handle well or brake as efficiently. No seatbelts and even if you did have them, wearing them wasn't compulsory.
They also hadn't invented proper traffic management in those days either - no pedestrianisation, cars just veering all over the road, park where you like, speeding etc. There were also a lot more motorway breakdowns because people just ragged incapable cars until they literally blew up. The speed bump wasn't introduced to British roads until 1983.
@@mxbx307 I sat into a friends restored Ford Anglia the other day and it scared me even as it wasn't moving, I was thinking as I was looking around its interior that I wouldn't like to crash into even a paper bag in this, a 30mph crash in to anything solid would really hurt in that car and its like at the time!
When Redcar was nice.. *sighs
That's the good old Redcar I used to know! I'm originally from New Marske which is just a few miles away, spent many a good time in Redcar back then, not so keen on the new look nowadays.
Wowww this is beautiful!!
It seems another world, But looking around at the way things have slipped from our grasp, like respect, consideration, moral responsibility, etc, Is it any wonder our past is far better than the present !
Yo I didn’t really think it would look “to different” but it does actually look quite different
at 1.21 there is what appears to be an austin 1100 on the right. which would date it to 1963 and not before.
It might be the Morris version, which was launched in August 1962. The film isn't clear enough to see if its radiator slats are straight (Morris) or wavy (Austin)!
Do you mean 0:08? 1:21 is the end of the film.
This is probably very early in the 1960s because I can't seem to see many - if any - vehicles with the new suffix registration introduced in 1964. The cars and fashions also give off an earlier 60s vibe compared to similar footage I've seen from 1969.
But now..... Its not the best town
Shops on the high st and convenient parking.
I think there's a link there.
nearly 60 years ago at most. Might as well be the middle ages
Only thing missing is the smell of fish, chips, vinegar and candy floss.
You just go to the night clubs to smell fish now
Now its puke, cannabis and vapes.
... before diverse enrichment
Still the same
Rubbish, its just been twinned with Bakhmut
Now just been twinned with Bakhmut.
