It is from a documentary I believe commissioned by Woolwich Council. Before the local government restructuring of tge time. Had great shots of Woolwich and its pubs and Eltham and the new housing estates. Also Crown Woods Comp for those of you here went there.
Interesting bit of film. The Queen mum was opening Coldharbour estate and as part of that visit she looked into a house at no. 10 Witherston Way. Next door to where I lived at no. 8. I remember it well. The team Charlton were playing was Norwich city.

Not in 1964 it wasn’t…. I was at that game age 7. Went every week with the my child minders husband and her son from the age of 5.
But fascinating seeing all those fashions, cars and The Valley of my childhood come alive again.
And Charlton's white kit with red shoulder flashes.
Best kit ever. IMHO.
Noooo - we play in red and white - not white and red !!!
Best kit ever is FADS Adidas kit - home kit was lush - away (yellow and blue) was lush x lush 😃
At the time, the white strip with red shoulder flashes was very different and modern ..... it was the kit that my Charlton always wore when I first went to The Valley.
When you were a kid, you never forget your first impressions, do you?

That kit was second season for me @OggyRed but like you I loved those white shirts and red shoulder flashes.

Totally agree, albeit my first match was 1976, and I think it was the Bukta kit, which I wasn’t overly keen on - the first kit I loved was the Adidas FADS kit, and the OSCA kit after that was a beauty as well (and indeed the Adidas kit first couple of seasons in Div 1 under Lennie)
Took my wife (then girlfriend), to her first and only game, we were wearing those colours. We were playing Middlesbrough, and she said what team are we, I, without thinking, said red and white, when they scored first, she cheered. On top of that, when whistle went at half time, she started to walk to the exit, thinking it had finished. I wonder why she hates football

I started supporting 1965-66 and while I remember the photos of the players in the shirt, I can't remember them actually wearing it. When I check my old scrap books we were wearing all red. The shirt according to team photos(Colin Cameron's Home and Away) was official for 1964/65 and 65/66, I don't think it was worn more than one season though.

Same as me Bob, started 65/66 & have seen the photos but never seen the players wear the shirt apart from going past Bexley United (now Welling Uniteds ground) on the top deck of the bus & Charlton colts were playing Bexley United colts in a South East Counties League game & we were wearing the white with the red shoulder. No idea what year though but I think I had started going to the Valley then so they were probably wearing the first teams hand me downs.

I lived at The knolle, Coldharbour estate & remember the Queen mum visiting some years after we moved in.
I would have been at that game, started going with my dad in early 1962, those red shoulder flashes really looked good - I thought!

Maybe they could be resurrected as an away kit.
