@@roboman34 No there were never down the side of the road where Lidal is now-it was on same side as where-The Marriot Hotel is! As much as I don't want flats/apartments being there. At least there will be new shops, Restaurants, another Gym, etc When did you last walk through Danson Park?
Crook Log swimming baths in the 1970s! Never thought I'd see a picture of that again.
Born there & live there now. Special place.
Would love to get my hand on the original 1962 footage and colour correct it 😀
Brilliant so many happy memories thank you.
Interesting to watch. Much before my time, I remember it in the 90s but loved seeing it in a time that seems long gone..
even the "now" footage is vintage !now!
always lived and still live near bheath
