Victoria Wood's fantastic television film, 'Pat and Margaret'.

Set in Lancashire, filmed partly in Blackburn.

IMDb - Pat and Margaret (TV 1994)

No John, June Ritchie was the female lead in this film directed by John Schlesinger.
Perhaps you are confusing it with A Taste of Honey . Rita Tushingham was in that one.

It could be Lancashire, in Thatcher's Britain, but isn't.

IMDb - Rita, Sue and Bob Too! (1987)

Set in that county, just t'otherside o' Burnley.

Aspiration and degradation.

Thatcher's Britain.

Nice you appreciate this celluloid documentation of those times.

Love on the Dole a 1941 movie set in Salford , evdently the Govt. prevented the film being made during the 30s depresion because of topics such as sex outside of marriage and working class poverty

Brilliant
Ezra Fitton: All this reading books he does, it's not natural.
Lucy Fitton: You wouldn't know what natural is.
Ezra Fitton: My father always used to say if it were natural you'd see animals doing it. I never saw a horse reading.

Bit of trivia, the younger brother who likes Hayley Mills (who wouldn't) is played by Murray Head who went on to sing "One Night in Bangkok"

I just had a disturbing mental picture of you, Peter, and Ken, doing the dance in the film to that track, in the Con club.

I hope to God my Nan wasn't there that night, being gang banged.
