I think what's remarkable about this is really how LITTLE has changed. I'm thinking that if you drove around similarly in Manchester or somewhere like that, you'd see that it was almost completely different in places. Nice to see the multi-story under construction
I can't belive it! I shared this video at 3:30pm yesturday and 24 hours on 1,360 people have watched it. I never realised how much intrest we all take in the history of our town.
Quite a bit has changed since 1989, and some things have not. The Union Jack cafe is still up and running in Kirkland (part of the main street through Kendal). I used to go in there when I was around 10 years old, and I'm almost 67 now.
fosters in the market place, many a bad dress sense came out of there, what a fantastic friday and saturday nightlife we had in the 80's , alleycats, queens, the park, 11.00pm bus from the shakespeare to bowness
Kendal's changed so much since then. The one way system's fucked things up. It'd also be really nice if Kendal returned to being more of a traditional market town...A medieval Kendal, that's what I'd like :3
To think I was only 5 years old, living at Appleby (Next town). Some great cars there which are absolute classics now. I took my driving test here before they changed to the 1-way system.
Just after 7:20 Quantic - time is the enemy 2001, starts at same output level as the previous tune on the radio amazing, time travelling tune? or intentionally inserting in the video, suits the scene well, I'll say no more
Wow, Kendal is a lot less purple than it used to be.

+Jonathan Cook Didn't realise it was you - yes,very interesting video mate! Question is, how old were you in 1989??

Bloody hell, you can’t drive down Sparrowmire lane like that anymore, it’s like a car park now!

Fascinating history, 10 years before our arrival in town. A lot has chafed, a lot hasn't.
Makes me miss Kendal, especially in those days!!!!
That's a brilliant watch for any of us living in Kendal - Very interesting - thanks for sharing =D
Great video thanks

Most British folk are too philistine to let such a thing happen. We take our lead from across the Pond, culturally, economically and in most ways.

Well at least it wasn't raining! My Escort XR3i was parked in one shot at Elm Court.
Good knickerbocker glory available to right in 1982
The auld purple town
