1990 car ride around Hemel Hempstead town centre spring 1990 

What a superb video! Brings back so many memories! The Marlowes was so nice before the shopping centre was built.

I’m a Hemel boy and this is great footage

Hemel was a decent town in those days .. fond memories of pub crawls from the Hart, Kings Arms, Rode and Crown.. down to the Plough, then Boxmoor to the Fishery.

Very interesting - brings back old memories - I lived there from 1963 to 1982 - Piccott's End village.

Great! I lived in Hemel from 1978 to 2005, this brought back how it all looked before the pedestrianisation

Wow I was in hemel Hempstead today and looks so much different to back then. It makes you wonder what it will look like in another 20 years . Nice video .

I lived in Hemel Hempstead for 8 years when I was young I have very good memories there I love Hemel Hempstead thanks for sharing this video's it was all members coming back thanks

Thank you so much for posting this. This was exactly the same time as my son was born. The boarding round what used to be the Waggon & Horses is still up. The Full House is non existent & the Pavilion is still there. So was the market. This is around the time Hemel town centre started to loose it's old character and turn into something completely worse. Such great memories. 😢

1990 the year after i left Hemel Hempstead...... so much of it has gone now and only remains in my memory 😊 the people i knew through my life and i do some times wonder how their lives went?

“1:40 min ..wife - “if I go to Texas to get some curtains will you put them up”” Husband - “probably not” 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for uploading this...Its a a great video and also nice to see my old blue Mini parked up on the right in the town!! :)

You are a legend, thanks so much! I've never seen that road where primark is now, I always remembered it as turning right at blockbusters :-)

Hemel Hempstead town centre was much better in this time. Now the old walk over bridge is long gone. Modernisation is not good in most cases and definitely not in hemel of today

I was born in Hemel and lived there until emigrating to Germany in 1982. I have only happy memories of my time there. The town had not changed much in 1990, although I noticed that the block of offices which were at the entrance of the town where the old railway bridge used to be were gone. The good old Pavillon Was still there. I enjoyed many good concerts and firms' dinner dances there. To my knowledge it has never been replaced.

Wow, I am in Ford Cortina, Escort, Fiesta heaven!

So great to see this!!

When hemel hempstead was polski sklep free.

At the top of Combe St. you passed a dark blue VW estate. just might have been my dad, right time for it and right town....

I moved away from Hemel on 15th August 1989 having spent my first 9 years there! it's amazing how much I can still remember! And to think the Cinema I remember seeing Bambi in is now a Weatherspoons!

That was one heck of a noisy old car. Great video btw. :-))

What ever happened to Texas Homestores? Great memories of my home town.

Just before Marlowes was pedestrianised. I notice the lighting columns on Combe Street and Waterhouse Street were being changed too.

Great vid. Thanks for the memories..

the good old days!!!!!!

What I find fascinating is the small child you can hear in the car would be in their thirtys now, where does time go?

Cool vid, lots of memories. Are you still with him?

The Pavillion :-) use to have a football do there.

Yes Thank you. I remember the water gardens :- )

Nostalgic for some, but STILL a shersen haisen. (my take on German)

Kodak tower! Proper old school

Its 2016 and OMG its changed

I'd be interested to know what car you are driving. It sounds (rattly) and the dash looks like a Mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier...

What is on at the pictures?

I remember thus

What was the reason for making the video all those years ago?

Glad l dont live here anymore

who lives in Hemel now i do
