It is interesting to note that Nairobi was bustling with a beehive of activity in the 60s as it is today in 2022. I have noticed that most of these clips were captured in the modern-day Nairobi CBD. Most of those old structures still exist, but nowadays the city has expanded and there are new districts with remarkable modern skyscrappers including Westlands, Upperhill, Kilimani etc.

@pm yes River road was clean, safe for shopping, till 1972, then few bars opened, some Taxi rank offices, and lots of people started moving into Nairobi so the lack of jobs and housing pushed lots of youngsters into drink and crime rates started to rise. This was the stage when population growth rising at a fast rate. The roads got into disrepair big craters started to form and were left for time. The original properties around River road were built by many Indian and muslims who had been living in Kenya since early 1920s. We lost 2 fruit and veg shops by 1973 forcefully acquired by high ranking politicians. Our shop was on the corner of Halie slasie road, next to the butcher's belonging to mr Khan he was first to lose his shop and us next. We left Kenya regretfully with tears as we were Kenyan in our hearts and souls. We terrible miss the great country, people and the weather. I would love to visit as I'm nearly 60 .😄🙏🇬🇧

Historical fact. Black people did not build Nairobi or Salisbury or Pretoria or Durban or Johannesburg or Leopoldville or any city on the continent you can name. Nairobi was built in 1899. Try comparing it to Alexandria, or Athens or Rome. You cannot.
