I used to live at 14 Bell Street. When it was the tenements. On the other side of the hill going down to Bogston Station. I left the gibby in 76, just as they were completing the sports centre. I attended St Mungos Primary and this video is pure delight. Thanks from Birkenhead

Good video. I used to live in Whitelees Road when I was a kid, went south of the border in 1970 and been there ever since. Don't recognise any of it now. Used to be all tenements. It was great then.
