Stunning Gerald... as much for the views around that area as the football.. and the music reminded me of times long gone.

Fantastic film. Do you know whereabouts it was made?
ReplyDeleteAnon - around Hyde GS presumably - follow the link through to the original on YouTube and contact the poster if you need more information.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gerald. On second viewing, it's obviously the top field at the school. I was confused because in my day there were more trees obscuring the views of the hills and there weren't so many factory chimneys. The white building at the top of some shots is the Duke of Sussex pub at the junction of Victoria Street and Ashton Road.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely and typically Grammar School looking boys! without a doubt! Great find
