Nice to see Mrs Merton in her pre-chatshow career at 9:28 ...

Looks very similar to what it did in the 80s. No cheap Tesco, Primark or Internet shopping then . People saved up for quality goods and made them last. My mum bought a sheepskin coat in 1974 paying weekly, I lasted until ten years ago.

Now it's all digital watches and calculaters .

How people spoke back then … even in the moments of discrepancy… a lost language and dialect that will never return 😢

I was 10 months old when this footage was created… holy smokes! Send shivers down my spine when I think how much time has passed 😬

What a crying shame, as a local I grew up here in the 70's /80's - Hull city center used to have Binn's, Debenhams, British Home Stores, Willis Ludlow, C&A & Carmichael's and many other amazing independent shops (all gone), 5 x nightclubs, 70+ pubs (all bustling) - people dressed to impress when they went out (took pride in their appearance) Walk through the city center now and its depressing - boarded up shops or charity outlets, bookies, vape shops & hoards of migrants waiting to serve lazy fat bastards with fast food because they don't cook anymore - this isn't me looking through rose colored lenses, its a fact - this country is fucked!!!!

It's a sh@t hole now, sadly in Hull. Full of foreigners that have changed the face of hull

les looks like a store detective sadly for him but good for the shoplifters

Now it's just chavs and uber riders delivering weed on the side. Hull is 1 letter away from hell!

Before the internet, and when cash was king, and woman were woman, not a woke in sight. And the 70s were bad ? Best decade ever.

SIc transit gloria mundi...as always in Hull there is a "hoss on't flags" somewhere! (that's a horse on the pavement, for those not from Hull)

Wonderful, Happy Days 😊

Usual dreadful camera work from the BBC .

Wow , haven't seen those things for a long while. Customers and police in shops.

'Thank you very much, goodbye!' :D

Now to become a temple to gaming and gambling. Progress.

Would have been given now,definitely a try.

That's my grandma carrying the cleaning bottle. She worked at Binns as a cleaner x

It must have been awful working in those big stores like that and watching the internet destroy the shop in front of your eyes.

I remember the smell of that lift. Very unique and hard to describe. Not unpleasant

Must have been incredibly expensive for stores to employ full time detectives. Also a rather boring job l would imagine

Yes the young people were better looking. No tattoos, ripped jeans and less obesity.

Police actually came to shops to deal with shop lifting back then!

I remember that lady who was the lift operator. She must have been there for years in a job that definitely had its ups and downs. I also remember Mr Cattle who ran the Carr park and was a real gentleman.

That brought back a lot of memories.

Its rescue call centre now

Security geezer not very smart. Not proud of this (only happened once) In 1978 a friend persuaded me to walk out with 6 pairs of Wrangler Jeans. It was successful.

Yes it's a shit hole after 14 years of Tory smash and grab.

It was a try.

This makes me kind of homesick. Yet I know it’s not the same city I left 28yrs ago. I’m still Hullensian and proud.

What a lovely blast from the past, how things have changed sadly not for the better. Still very friendly people though. 😢🙏❤️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 nov twenty three

I agree with the guy who looks like Jonah Lewie - What does the shop bloke mean "MORE" perfect ? Either they're perfect or they're not !

" ' 'im in the doo'way with the red tie on." You'd have to be pretty moronic to go on the nick dressed so distincitively.

Wow at 2:O8, one of my work colleagues from British Gas. I'm watching this 16/11/2023. I wonder where all these great people are now.

I remember going over to Hull on the ferry from New Holland with my grandmother who had a farm in Goxhill. We always used to go to Hammonds for our Dinner, it was such a treat. Passing all the traders as you walked into Hull. Great Times.

Britain was a more civilised society back then albeit not perfect.

When this country was great, saddens me how we’ve become 😢

The young lady applying lipstick at 34 seconds is called Pam. She worked for a long time on one of the cosmetic counters... a lovely lady and she was a friend of one of my then work colleagues.

Used to love that shop I would pester my Mum until she took me to the toy department. I'm pretty certain I got my first calculator from Binns.

Gosh, 45 years ago! How generally polite and sophisticated the people of Hull seemed to be compared to the friendly, but shabby and rather uncouth people one encounters today. I thought it was my memory playing tricks on me, because young women seemed to be prettier, young men more handsome and most everyone better dressed in my recollections. Myself and others all wore shirts and ties in those days. And look at all that lovely crisp real paper money, unlike the plastic crap of today - gimme, gimme. Didn't this Christmas usher in the worst winter for over 20 years...?

jesus paul doesnt seem like 5 mins ago hard to believe its eight years ago we were dumped by the powers that be...
