God, l enjoyed that but with a tear in the eye.

Born 73 so it's good to see what home was like when I was a young whipper snapper

I was born the very same year, but didn't people walk fast then!!!!!!!! I have found if you use the playback settings and reduce to 0.75 it becomes normal speed!!

Great choice of music, compliments the era.

I lived there during this time as it was my home City. So, this video brings back many memories!

Great post indeed. I can remember the boat shop on the corner. It was owned by mr and mrs Shepard. They were friends with my dad. They were very nice people. This video did make me feel old. Probably because I am.

I can feel the breeze from all those flares flappin' in the wind

I don't ever remember Bristol people walking so fast in the early 70's. And just look at that road-sweeper go!

Reduce playback speed to 0.75 it stop Bristolians rushing around and getting tired!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

My adopted City nearly 50 years ago. Best place in England

I must have the same age as those kids climbing up Christmas Steps.

Reminds me of walking to school from the bus stop in Queen's Square to the top of Park Street.

I love the cars and loved naming them

Love seeing my city as I would of when I was a baby 💜.....Thankyou

A pleasure to watch.

Hi great video I'd guess at this being filmed in 77 or 78 , it featured a face lifted morris marina with all aluminium grill released in 76 , and there's a off white scirocco parked up on street corner with its back facing the camera, and the ultra modern looking TR7, as the film ends , brought back great memories 😀.

Isn't it strange. All those people walking about, looking where they are going and not staring at their phones

Great footage, thanks for uploading this.

Love the insurance inspection on the Maxi at 3 minutes in !!

It's so weird seeing Nelson Street so busy! It's completely quiet now!

Hi there, we've been enjoying watching this. We film natural sight and sound walks in soulful cities and have just filmed Bristol, so it's interesting to see the contrast, thank you for taking the time to add it.

Amazing how much traffic even back then

Wow I was 4 or 5 years old ! Looked nice back then !

Park Street, with George's ,the only bookstore in Town. We hiked up there to buy my first very own book when I could read. No coloured cartoons then. I chose a small book about bees so I could learn about the hives next door.

Wow that hits the spot and takes me back. Ace backing music, who's it by

What a great video

Thanks, its not often you see films of street scenes, its usually of some specific subject .

Superb 😉

A lot of these lovely old buildings were knocked into flats for out of towners who subsequently caused traffic gridlock that's planners for you tho

People walked fast back then..

And NO bloody graffiti Everywhere. Heaven

2:56 - lower left hand side of the frame...look at the dent in the roof of the car!!!!

Ouch ! It looks like the whole side of the car has been hit, I hadnt noticed that before - I wonder if its just happened and he is looking around the damage ...

I'm guessing this was filmed 1974 or later as the TR7 was released in September 1974

Just a random Bullnose Morris parked in Park Street. 0:16

I wonder how safe the streets are now, i was a regular visitor in the 90s due work,

And no one with a bloody smart phone glued to their ear

The clue to dating this is the pedestrianisation of corn st.

It needs to be watched at 3/4 speed.

Must be post 1974 as there is a TR7 at the end. Would say 1975 myself.

Which Bristol is this? I live in Bristol pa now near Philadelphia.

Now it's all mostly Chinese foods shops and barbers...

Bristol, my place of birth and home up until 4 years ago before politics and shite ideas destroyed it.

Bristol before it was ruined and became characterless.

Why did you have to speed it up

@moviescancouk

Hi Peter , that's a very good point . As cine film consists of lots of still frames it depends on the frame rate the film was shot at. So you often see old footage which appears to be running fast. This was shot on quite a rare format - 9.5mm film which was likely shot at 16 frames per second. The frame rate we generally use today is 25 FPS so any footage shot at 16 will appear to run fast and anything over 25 FPS will run slow, so footage shot at 100fps will be 4x slow motion. In order to make the footage run in real time we need to pad out the 16 FPS frames with duplicate frames which makes it look correct . I usually speed correct customer footage in this way to make it look more natural, and may upload a speed corrected version of this film so you can see the effect.

Well Glynn Barnes, if you really were walking across College Green in the sixties. we can only hope that that particular brand of crap, unfunny, pathetic racism will soon be dying out. Comments like that that make me embarrassed to be from Bristol. Nice footage by the way - some cool cars, and happily most of it all still recognisable!

Actually it is you who is the racist snowflake. Mike didn't say what race the guy was in the joke, but it was you who made the assumption that anyone from St Pauls must be black. The joke itself is around 50 years old, humour will always exist, always has and always will. Unless you are going to patrol every house and pub on the planet you will never be able to change anything at all, thank goodness!

Googel+ So let me get this straight, someone makes a racist joke but that person isn't racist for making the joke, instead the person who pointed out that the racist joke is racist is the racist? Is that the best defence you Farage cultists can come up with? Pathetic.
