The trucks, the clothes, the hairstyles, the social behaviour, the coal and iron mills still visibly operating (smoke stacks) in Wales before the mines were shut down and the local economy crashed... everything in this video bespeaks the '70s, nothing like the '90s. Obviously the footage is "digitized" (to use a very 1980's / 1990's term) or it wouldn't be on KZread!
