Grimsby and Grimsby Docks in the 70's

This is a look around Grimsby town centre as the changes to the Bull Ring were taking place. The last 30% of the video shows the docks in their heyday. It was filmed in 4.3 on Fujichrome single 8 film stock. The film to video transfer quality was not too great when it was done. I have lightened the video up as it was a little darker on the original upload. Also, there is no sound in this version as in the original film. The late Tony Stapleton took most of the film, with some by Jim Cork.

Childhood memories of the demolition of Flottergate church watching the crane swing the ball to demolish 😢

Tony and I used to go out on Sundays and sometimes during the week. It's a pity the transfer equipment wasn't better when it was transferred to DVD. But I still have the film, and it's as good today as when it was taken. So in time I will get it done again.

Wow what a brilliant video. So from looking at that are those buildings being demolished like roughly where Willo’s now stands?

Some was. Plus, not far from where the Halifax bank is now, there was underground toilets. Traffic use to go down Victoria Street including buses at one time. I have even got some 8mm film of cars driving up Victoia Street. Not too good quality thou.
