This video was filmed way before KZbin was invented, and was never made to be shared with the world. My grandparents filmed their tour of Southampton to show my Grandad's brother how much the city had changed since he left many years before. Many people do find this interesting though, as it shows a lot of how the city has changed. Not all of it is shot from inside a car either - there are some parts where they were on foot
