10 Jobs That PEAKED In '80s Britain

10 Jobs That PEAKED In '80s Britain. Monday morning, 1985. The sound of glass bottles clinking outside your window as the milkman makes his rounds. The familiar electric whirr of his float disappearing down the street. When did you last hear that sound?
These 10 British jobs didn't just disappear - they took a piece of our communities with them. Real people who knew your name, your family, your story. Jobs that made ordinary life feel extraordinary.
From the milkman who checked on elderly neighbours during his dawn rounds, to the video store clerk who introduced you to your favourite film, to the typing pool workers whose sisterhood kept British business running - these weren't just occupations, they were the threads that wove our communities together.
Watch as we explore the human stories behind the jobs that vanished after the 80s. The telephone operators who connected every conversation in Britain. The market traders who knew three generations of your family. The cobblers who believed good shoes deserved a lifetime of care.
Which of these jobs do you remember? Which one brings back the strongest memories? Drop your stories in the comments - we read every single one and they always transport us back to when work meant community.
