VIDEO CASSETTE - THE ARMADALE FOOTHILLS
1980A black plastic video cassette FUJI VHS. It has two clear plastic panels to view the inner tape which runs from one spool to the other. The top insert is light brown with instructions to use in white letters. A label on the front has the title [The ARMADALE / FOOTHILLS] and the production company's label [BIG RED] along with copyright information.
The spine also has text on a cream label.
This artefact was used by the donor Tony Crickmore whenever his relations visited from the United Kingdom, and also to his children to show how the area used to be when he first moved to the area.
Originally purchased as a gift to be sent back to family in the United Kingdom, Tony decided to keep it.
The video provides footage of what the Armadale and surrounding areas looked like in the mid-1980s before urban redevelopment. Many of the locations and organisations featured in the videotape and on the cover have since either ceased or altered operations, or in the case of buildings, been demolished.
