Aylesbury - A History 

Lived here all my life and never knew half the things you mentioned. Thank you. I think its a shame that local schools in Ayesbury, don't seem to give some kind of history of the town to those who live within.

Brilliant. Going to catch up on your videos.....because they are so interesting. Peace and goodwill.

I just bought a flat in aylesbury!! 😁

Brilliant video , I’m born and bred , home is where the heart is 👍

Enjoyed that thank you, grew up in Aylesbury and love history, moved away due to work, but the place will always have a place in my heart....

my g posted abt aylesbury lesssgoooooo

Thanks so much for this. I grew up around Aylesbury, and you've done a great job capturing our history. Thanks again

My home town ❤️🌹

Born here and still living here 56 years later

Thank you very much Simon. It is wonderful to see the historic places connected to my family. Some of my ancestors are from Aylesbury. Alfred Hayward and his wife Caroline Bartlett left Aylesbury, in the 1800's, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and settled in the area of Cobourg and Rice Lake, Ontario, Canada. There is a monument in St. Mary's Church cemetary that commemorates some members of the Hayward and Rose families. It was recently rediscovered after being covered with vegetation for almost 100 years. I believe there is also a plaque inside the church that mentions a William Hayward. I look forward to viewing more of your videos.

great documentary, thanks Simon!

Wonderful, interesting video!

My dad has grown up in Aylesbury from 1972 to 2016 and i have lived there from 2008 to 2016

amazing video thank u for teaching about aylesbury

Very interesting, thank you. I'm thinking of moving to Aylesbury and it's nice to know more about it

Good Video, nicely done.

Good video. Shows the town off in a positive light

I’m just coming back to this video after 5 months... I just can get enough of these videos :)) there so good. You’d make a good history teacher lol

That was a fantastic video, I thoroughly enjoyed learning a little about the town!

Very interesting video, thank you!

So nice to know more about my home town, didn't think I'd find such interesting fact!

What an amazing video, I am passionate about history and archaeology, I am still learning English and want to study more about archaeology. I would like to learn more about Aylesbury in the mercia kingdom period. Thank you for the video! 😊

Thank you so much! I am moving here from South East Asia soon as I return to the U.K. after a few years working away and your video has been very informative indeed. I used to live in Maidenhead, Berks, so know Aylesbury, but not too well, and this has helped greatly. Thank you for taking the time and effort.

Brilliant video, really well laid out and a bunch of things I never knew!

You sure tell a good story - I enjoyed that very much!

Thank you Simon for taking the time and trouble to make this enthralling video. Interesting and informative and very well edited. I am about to start work here and was keen to find out more about the historical significance of the town before I do so. Just so I can show off to the locals :) I'm travelling from the North of England and you will agree it's quite a contrast. Looking forward to it though given your fascinating guide.

We’re new to this beautiful area and we found this video very interesting. Brilliant.

Wow I’m so glad I came across this video! Learnt so much about where I live! This is really good!

Thank you, a really nice, informative and professional video

Bravo! I really enjoyed watching your informative video of my hometown. I haven't been there since the early 90's and hope to go back again one day :)

Brilliant Simon.

my cousin stays here and was curious to know more about the Aylesbury.. thank you so much for such an informative video.... love from India!

been in uae for years now and this brought me right home, awesome vid

Thank you for this extensive video. I have just moved to Aylesbury from London. Only a week in this town and totally loving it. The canal goes right behind my new house, you can even put your feet in it. ❤️❤️❤️

i had to smile when i saw the St Mary’s churchyard clip ... behind used to be The Derby Arms and i still remember mid 1976 ish i think , a story about a ghost of a man who commited suicide by jumping from the top windows ... summer holidays and kids used to surround the churchyard every night in hope of a sighting ...never did see it

I enjoyed the video and the history of the place only been there once many years ago

I was born in Aylesbury, sadly My Twin didnt survive tho. But it was just 4 months before the Gŕeat Train Robbery . This is a Wonderful Video and Presentation . Thank You 🙂🙂

Aylesbury is my dream town. I will definitely live there one day.thanks to sharing this nice video. I feel live there when i watched this. Love from sri lanka 🇱🇰

fantastic video. Very interesting. wonderful how the people in the old photo of market square/Kingsbury were all talking and seemed very relaxed. Perhaps life was slower and perhaps more friendly..

Wow that’s awesome that’s a ton of things I never even knew even though I live there

lovely video sir! you've earnt yourself a subscriber

my heart was there sometimes ago

Great video sir , I live in Aylesbury 😄

AYLESBURY YEA, GOOD TIMES

mashallah so good

Interesting to see someone else doing stuff about old Aylesbury. The bit at the end about the Great Train Robbery I think is incorrect. The court hearings were at the Rural District Council offices in Walton Street. I have many photos of that period. I see you've bought my books too :)

Great video. Surprising how pleasant Aylesbury used to be...

waooooooo im from Peshawar pakistan i like london and i want settle this city

I live here

Hi Simon Really interesting video , are you sure that the Train Robbers were tried at the County Offices that you showed ? All the photos I’ve seen of the trial venue show a horrible 60’s building that was located in Walton Street and is referred to as Aylesbury Rural District Office and which seems to have been demolished and replaced with a development called Veridian Square . I’m hoping to visit Aylesbury next week to see some of the places you have highlighted.

Great pub in Hardwick. Used to hVe live bands b4 the covid not sure if they do now

There's so much I miss about this town from the 80s, but change has increased so much. I know it's sad, but I'm losing my love for the town I was born in.

I live here at Prebendal Avenue

Lived here in the eighties Madeley Rd didn't like it found it most depressing.

Nice video ,very informative Regarding the Battle if Aylesbury ,the road that runs past the battle field is the A41 heading out toward Bicester not A413 heading out toward Amersham.

I live in aylesbury for 4 yrs early nights early morning Living with monsters Lovely prison in early 90s A45 the only time I've been past aylesbury since being incarcerated looks ok place to live

Live on elm farm estate

Thats my town I usually go to XD

Cromwell blew up my local castle

Shame about the council buildings ruining an old market town. I live in Wendover thank God.

I bet your views have shot up on this video

sad to say, but everything looked better 100 years ago! Corporations/the government have hindered Aylesbury.

Does your history of Aylesbury encompass the gradual 'enrichment' of the superficially picturesque market town?

Alyesbury … Awful , Dreary place . I remember it grimly from my childhood , especially the fibreglass ducks

great video, but you URGENTLY need to trim your nasal hair 🙄🙄
