    Brilliant stuff.
    I grew up in the early 70s in Saltaire and Shipley and Bingley. That toy shop was visited by me every weekend for years.

    Here is my favorite Eric Hall film on whippet racing in Bingley. I attended these Sunday morning races with my dad on numerous occasions. My dad is in the film for a few seconds and had a British champion whippet in 1968. Enjoy

    A right accent on that commentator.......almost a caricature comedy type accent. Interesting film too.

    I thought it was Eric himself? Not sure now. I'm sure both my grandad did sound similar. But maybe I'm just imagining that?
