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.
