Not on the lips though :lol:

But seriously. That was a great little film and some superb clips I had no idea the factory began to struggle in 82. What a great shame

Thanks for posting. Just wow. Butterflies and goosebumps aplenty.

Loved watching that. Felt sad for the factory workers. Makes me want to travel there, pay homage and have a beer in the local.

 

[sith-smith]

That was great.

So is the entire factory site still there then?

Got this recorded on the sky box too. Great piece. Well done to all involved!

You've obviously never been to Coalville, then.

Does anyone know where the old BBC Palitoy footage originally comes from? I've seen it in different guises but never the original form.

I hope it is still there.... I am sat on the 1st floor of the old executives building, Rothley House. I have three companies, or four if you count the subletting business, operating including a conference room here. The Coalville Business Park site is now accessed off Jackson Street in Coalville. One of my colleagues spent his 16th summer boxing up the FIRST editions under the watchful eye of a security guard. His next task was to take out all the furniture from this building..... so he was not best pleased to be climbing to the second floor with tables and chairs again!
