The crazy thing is, some of us will be related to people in this video and not have a clue.

Those from out of town believe us Burnley folk are all related in some way anyway

Especially at the long hair and flared jeans. (You could make a two-man tent with the amount of material in some of them!)

The photo of the turntable fire engine, looks like the one kept for years, on the land on Culshaw St, near the corner of Mitella St! of then demolition man Maurice Tate, whose house backed onto the yard. That was in the 50/60s. Some may remember him and his wife Enid driving big American cars, with the reg MET 7.

No, just part of a eclectic taste in music. I didn’t like to be tied down to fashion. Maybe you should try it.
