Passing the old Police Station in Broad Street triggered memories. The town was so different in 1975 when I moved to Chesham. It seemed to lack in character with High Street pedestrianised. There used to be a nightclub up Station Road on the left. That looked as if it has been demolished. The likes of Cliffe Richard played there 😊
I grew up in reading whitley from when i was born in 1979 an left 4 ireland in 2001 only been back twice its changed so much walking thew smelly ally on a saturday....
I lived in Torrington in my early years 1960s to1970 South Street, went to the little school opposite the glove factory before going on to the secondary School I seem to remember Mr Bastien was head master, I was in the church choir, did paper round down mill street and Tadiport, my Sunday round was the Darrington fields estate, my mum was District Nurse, spent many hours riding bikes on castle hill and a area we called the bumps, I still have vived memories looking across from castle hill, l loved living there so many happy days to remember. If you lived in Torrington between 1960s to 1970 and were my age you probably could work out who I am.

For anyone watching this video who’s considering a move to Horsham, especially if you’re interested in moving to the town centre where many office blocks are being converted into apartments often with balconies, buyer beware! Horsham town centre includes a significant residential population. For the last 5 years the town centre has been plagued by a large number of boy racers in cars & on motorbikes with attenuated, high decibel exhaust pipes, excessive revving of engines, unnecessary sound of car horns & high speed racing in excess of 60mph in a 30mph zone. The anti-social motorists make incredibly loud, disruptive noise every daytime but in the evenings & weekends the problem gets significantly worse. Numerous local residents have complained to Sussex police for years but they refuse to address this relentless anti-social menace. Residents who have complained to Sussex police have been told “it’s a town centre, what do you expect?” But one can differentiate between town centre through-traffic & persistent anti social motorists when the same vehicles appear then re-appear over & over again all night long. Also Sussex police have made other statements like “it’s too expensive to police Horsham town centre traffic” & “it’s always been like this & always will be, the best thing you can do is move.” One resident threw Sussex police a red herring, reporting to them that the boy racers frequently sound their car horns for no apparent reason, when in fact this had never been a problem. Within 24 hours this behaviour became a common occurrence, starting with directly outside the property of the person who raised this issue which continues across the town centre to this very day. This suggests one or more staff at Sussex police are feeding intelligence back to the hive of anti-social motorists & is potentially providing them with a “free” pass to continue with their lawless behaviour. Sussex police have told local residents we need to do their job for them. Gathering details of repeat offenders, their physical appearance, make, model of car, license plates, photos, videos & a slew of other details. Many of us feel we didn’t move to Horsham town centre to become volunteer police informants when Sussex police state they “may or may not” take further information, based on the information provided by volunteer citizens. Taking into consideration there are Sussex police leaking confidential reports from members of the public back to the street, we’re considerably un-optimistic about how such volunteer reports will be responded to by Sussex police, risking the possibility of no meaningful resolution to this hellish situation. If you’re thinking of buying an apartment with a balcony this comment is most definitely for you. You’re guaranteed not to find a moments peace. This anti-social motorist problem is Horsham’s dirty little secret but the impact it’ll have on your quality of life is monumental.
hello unfortunately they have now started ripping apart Queen Street bridge near York railway station with excavators and rip Queen street bridge near York train station from 2023 to 2024
My home town as well. I left in 1980. The only places still the same are Barclays and Lloyds banks, and the church. Shenley Road seems to be all eateries now, no 'proper' shops.
i lived there 95 to 2002 this reminds me of walking home from train station after work up oxford road to west reading on summer nights knowing there was a beer waiting in the restoration or pond house
