This weeks “Decades” video is Blantyre in the 1990’s (as voted by you in our poll last week). From 20 to 30 years ago, there’s hopefully loads of things you all remember! The fashions were certainly bright no matter if you were at nursery or attending senior citizens clubs! Council budgets were becoming even more […]
Mary Poole is editing cine clips she recorded with her father. Recently sharing this one, it was recorded in 1992 when he was 87.

Taking my dogs for a walk in the Winter snow, if you recall, that was the Winter that became very severe in January, with temperatures plunging to minus 15. Whilst this little video was peaceful and serene, it is with a heavy heart […]
