Hemel Hempstead A Walk Into The Past 

Oh my goodness, the Bailey's interviewed on this film were my grandparents, a Bailey lived at 80 Bury Road from 1870 until 1988...Oh, my this is fabulous!!! I was just browsing around and came up on this video! My grandparents passed away in the 1980's and it was like seeing ghosts!! Wonderful ghosts....Thank you so much!!!

I'm glad I found this, Not only did I live in George Street but my late mother worked for Johnson & partners for years, I was informed of a ghost that used to go across the archway over the road that joined to The Old Kings Arms into my Mums offices!.

You really have to get this transferred to digital video. Great film.

Thanks for the ulpload. My lovely hodme

My first Saturday job when I was 12 (1957) was in the upstairs of the old Fire Station. "Derek Adams Radio & TV" Later I lived behind the shops going up the hill on the right in Heather Way and was married in St Marys to a cousin of the Brockett's Hardware store also on the right.

many thanks born in the town and lived in George St. married in St. Mary's and still in Boxmoor.

Very interesting video. However the quality of sound was so poor I could not understand it.
