Aw look how small the weeping willow on the Meadows is! 😂

my home town looking great.

i had a falcon pro with orange wheels my mother had it from the littlewoods catalogue there was a choice of one with green and one with orange wheels i think they was £129.99 it was the only i bike i wanted it looked like a sports car the shape. unfortunately i don’t have it anymore it was stolen from my porch in my mothers house . I was gutted when someone took it.

Song please

Great school my son goes there now he loves it

I hate this school, good song tho ennit

There's still one pre-Worboy road sign in the centre of Stamford.

Not much different

That was some Red Coat!

I bet those new neighbourhoods around Caithness Road didn't exist by then!!

Just started at Stamford Tech in Sept 1970. Lived with parents in St Georges Square. Passed my driving test in Stamford same year. Most youths hung around Red Lion Square where the road was black from burnt rubber of Mini wheels skidding as owners let the clutch in sharply!

Ah yes I remember it well, I would have been 13 then and as everybody else says, apart from a few changes to shops, streets and traffic it's mostly the same now.

Congratulations for your great luck 👍👍

I had the Mag-Flyer, wish I hadn't thrown it away for a mountain bike lol

Looks pretty similar to now really, just the cars and some shops, awesome to see Stamford back then

Amazing. I was born in 1987 so it's similar but quite different now - you recognise the streets (HSBC/Midland Bank, Walkers, NatWest) but there are noticable changes, I wonder when the High St was pedestrianised?

Chris Harris awsome

Great days indeed Mike. Here's your bike in the Falcon catalogue www.bloggingadeadhorse.com/images/bmx/hotfoot/falcon/fp_pg3.jpg I got my BMX for Christmas 1982 and it was my pride and joy, I literally lived on the thing. I have totally rebuilt / refurbished it twice over the years. It was used by two of my friends children in the intervening years and now my 12 year old son uses it and loves it as much as I did. It is stickered-up as a Haro now (I couldn't find any Falcon decals). The frame, forks, headset and crank are still the originals. My son loves it when boys "our age" comment on his cool 80's BMX. This is how it looks now: drive.google.com/file/d/0B7hZTmjez2Z4SU9TQmMyc3FKYjQ/view?usp=sharing

Had the Falcon Pro Theta, loved those days!

I live in Stamford

So cool and so few cars around! Thanks for uploading this...

This is fantastic. So interesting to see how much, and how little, has actually changed.

My fav town in the county I love it

Apart from the cars, driving through the high street and the parking on broad street, not a great deal has changed.

woo hoo !!
