I remember the video rental shop next to the Riverside Cafe, I was visiting Holmfirth a few times a year back then, it certainly was a lot quieter back then

That's a lovely photo but a video rental store would surely be even quieter in this digital age

It has changed a lot over the years, these day most of Hollowgate is cafes and bars

Good times & memories. I much prefer the cars of that period, less tech & simple to repair.

I agree no computer glitches! However I'm sure you'll agree the bodywork on cars is much better today, my mates dad had a Sierra just like the one in picture and the sills were starting to rust when it was 3 years old!

I'm not sure many people would have had video recorders in those days to take advantage of the video shop, would they?

Most people can play DVDs, although it's mostly streaming videos these days.

Sometimes they're of rivers and seas too.

Tech has lost me now. I don't own any memory sticks/dongle things. Cd & dvd is as far as I go. Sad to have lost videos in my opinion.

They used to sell a few Summer Wine videos.
