Why did the 80's feel so much more pleasant than today.

Thanks for your comment, Keith was a friendly guy, back in 1979 when I knew him, he used to pop back in to Stage School to see our agent, who was the singer Phil Colins Mum, used to see him quite often too, fun times.

Cheggers was very lucky having access to the historical Moorish Arch site & Wapping Tunnel I'd love to get in there! What a great chappie he was and this shows he could do educational as well !
@joepublic76923 жыл бұрын
Access to moorish arch is very easy. Halfway down tunnel road there is a yellow metal door, simply climb over it and voila! You are straight away in moorish arch! And it is such an amazing place to explore. I recently walked the crown street tunneland then the Wapping one. Both are absolutely mind-blowing and oozing history. I highly recommend a trip

Liverpool Road, Manchester was not the first ever terminal station. That goes to Crown St, Liverpool. Why? Because when trains first ran on the 1st day, they started from the Liverpool end. Liverpool Road is the oldest terminal station still in existence. But the Crown St station was of a more advanced design which others followed, using a large train shed.

The oldest working steam train built 1838, that is a quarter of a century younger than the oldest surviving steam train, puffing Billy, built for Wylam Colliery near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The second oldest survivor is its sister, the Wylam Dilly.

I remember whatching this in 1986 (I was 21 then) I found it to be very interesting (coming from/living in Liverpool) Even though I knew our history, it was good to see it on National T.V. Just towards the end of the programme when sincronised time was mentioned and the formulation The FOOTBALL League thus travling "working class spectaters" I hated it when Kieth used the word "soccer" ... instead of FOOTBALL I suppose this programme could have been taylored for North America.

Two weeks after I made this twerpish comment, poor Cheggers sadly died, RIP. But, bizarrely my next comment was probably addressed to a Hearts FC fan, his team play in claret shirts... whose own comment seems to have been removed. Very odd as his comment was not all that abusive.. as I now try to recall, yes, very odd indeed.
