any chance you can do Vermont in Victoria

[@hypercomms2001]

I live in Croydon. Ringwood looked like a country town at that stage.

Bill Patterson Motors became part of the Patterson Cheney group. He was also a motor racing driver well regarded. He was also a nephew of Dame Nellie Melba.

Awesome Gezza keep the oldies coming!!!

[@johnd8892]

Gezza You have now given this historic Charles Hayes film a bigger audience in under an hour that it had in four years at another place on KZbin.

[@greebo7857]

And given The Shadows a new audience...

I live just up the road. Great stuff!

[@andrewhillyard4928]

So evocative! And a great soundtrack.

[@johnd8892]

Great stuff. Newly released 1960 FB Holden models in the showroom as well as still Black and White photos of earlier FC models later. Just noticed the Bill Patterson Cooper F1 spec racing car in front of the FC Holden's. This part of Ringwood still much the same as I knew it in the eighties.

[@MisterPolitical1]

Ringwood was a strong liberal suburb from the late 40s till the 1983, from 1984 till 2007 & from 2013 since

Or a seat belt…. There’s ups and downs

[@greebo7857]

At least the moved the clock tower rather than just demolishing it like they would now.

[@mebeasensei]

2:06 is that a coal train at the station?

[@johnd8892]

Likely the usual daily wagon load of brown coal briquettes that nearly everyone used for heating and often cooking and hot water. So many stations had goods yards where the main traffic was this form of coal. Used by industry too.

Anyone remember the radio show, late night, called Newsbeat? First time I heard it was on a crystal set I made. I love this channel.

[@johnd8892]

Yes on 3UZ. But I definitely remember it being on Sunday morning then again early Sunday afternoon. An episode used to be on KZbin but taken down but now back up The show read out Police reports giving the full name and address of those charged or died in traffic crashes. With about four times as many fatalities each Saturday night into Sunday morning back in the sixties. Just before Christmas 1964 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmXWqWhjfZmeY9k A search showed newer ones too.
