I'm from Leeds and was working in the city that day. Police were everywhere, stopping all the traffic going in and out of the city. The jams at rush hour were immense.
And how. By what mechanism could that have happened in '84. And why would a private small businesses van have such a feature? An odd discrepency in an account that appears very grounded.
Old style washing lines were often strung across from wooden or metal posts (not unlike telegraph poles) and one line could be hoisted high above the other. Many in that style still exist in some houses. In fact, most old houses were built with a garden long enough to keep such a washing line.
The back to back terraced houses in parts of Yorkshire don't have back doors or back yards, every 8 houses have a shared block of outside toilets and sheds, but there is nowhere to dry wet clothes, except from lines across the streets. They have some type of pulley system to lower and raise the lines. They were lowered to peg the clothes to the lines and raised to dry the clothes.
What you need to remember At the time THE flat cap was the equivalent of a Baseball cap in the 90s A 40 year old man and a 20 year old man can wear one and they'll both look about 30 Years old Today's equivalent is the face mask. Observe at the all black and white movies from the 30s and 40s and the men wearing Trilby OR bola hats roughly look around the same age give or take five years either way. So if you watch say Burt Lancaster or Kurt Douglas in a movie from 1940 wearing a Trilby hat and the suit and then you watch them in 1960 wearing the Trilby hat And the suit you can't really tell the difference, When it comes to one's age Apart from one will be in colour and one will be in black and white
Just a few things to know here This is pre Dunblane massacre plus It's the north of England Terraced houses whippets and flat caps yes They really did use to hang their washing out across the street those houses have long gone and most of the people living in them have tumble dryers now or are Dead ! However the important thing to note here is firearms were readily available in the north Especially Leeds and Manchester And Liverpool police forces regularly had firearms units patrolling 24/7 We just didn't know about it, Plus most police stations housed guns in a Lockable safe That decision was made in the Second World War In case the Germans invaded or their aircraft crashed during the Blitz. At that time most Little boys between 10 and 14 either had air pistols or air rifles and owning a firearm was very easy you just needed a licence and a clean record, A gun club in every town that I had a cotton mill And we have plenty of Marshland forest Gorges an old farmland to practise our marksmanship The good old days
Looks like Nicks had a bush with the law Now their appeal to the second man was very simple And that is you grass you mate up And we will give you a new identity of all of the reward money into your bank account And a nice new house for you and your family away from Leeds
Crimewatch UK will be missed on TV
The most senseless double shooting in history
Very brave of PC Thorpe to appear in the update

Seeing the hair comments before watching it .... then actually watching it 😂
Fantastic work buddy thank you Xx
Great work my man
How did the light on the van get turned on by remote control? Why did it have that facility?
got me baffled and this was in 1984.very very odd...

I had a lot to do with plant equipment back then, and I have never heard of that ever. Sounds to me it was 20 years ahead of its time.
Fantastic looking hairdo. Looks precisely like a used but fairly well maintained Michelin tire!
Whenever someone says "I've done nowt," you know they have done something!
At 9.01????? Anyone else notice someone has put their washing on a line in the street??? And a sad thing to happen here.
Hair on the studio copper at ten minutes onwards.
So much shoepolish, you could knock on it and it'd echo.
The hair is made of licorice. Conboy's a yummy man
The type of bullet proof licorice Maxwell Smart used.
The studio copper with the syrup needs to be charged with possession of offensive hair.
40 years ago 😮😮
Were they actual clothes lines that they had those clothes hanging on or phone line cables? Either way, how did they hang their clothes so high?

They came up with a superb photofit of The second culprit ( lorry driver) . Best likeness in the entire series.
Leading copper definitely wearing a syrup
A great episode. Must admire how the {unarmed} police are so dedicated to their duty. They really risk their lives on a daily basis. Salute.
My dad's old partner. 😥
Shouldn't have questioned the guy, should have let him go and then he'd still be alive
@@allthekingshorses7178 how dumb
I keep asking myself why? Why? Why would you put that on your head?
Was it a syrup? I thought it was an industrial load of Bryl Creem! 😅
Why is Jimmy Greaves in this at 45.38? And at 45.53 it all becomes clear to old Jim.
Top work
The suspect in the flat cap could be Ron Pickering dad
Great episode

John conboy looks like he cut and paste his hair
I think the Police of today could learn a thing or two from yesteryear.

It's ridiculous British police aren't armed.

Pathetic how these horrible criminals try to act so shocked when they get arrested.
Nice hair mate 😂😂😂
