I grew up on Moor street, in a tower block latterly named Moor house. They knocked it down, along with some maisonettes with shops beneath, to build the medical center that’s there now. The town I grew up is just gone! Your videos do cheer me up with nostalgic memories. Great work, Cheers Phil. 🍻🍻
Walking down Lyng Lane, you never mentioned the original Lyng School was there. The Royal Mail sorting office , was once Joseph Bates. I remember walking down the little brick wall with my mom holding me hand.
When you said that you can't remember the places and roads around Lyng it struck a key as a kid I worked at a toolmakers precision instruments company as a semi skilled machinist in 1983/84 on mount pleasant street but cannot for the life of me remember its name( might be repressed memory!)
Hi Phil enjoyed the walk around the Lyng .at the start by the bus station i remember Camies Hairdresser's were my sister-in-law worked and around the corner on your right there was a DIY type shop called Millers .i found the video interesting all the best Paul
When I was growing up in London’s east end during the early fifties many houses of that design existed. Small yard at the back with outside WC and no bath in the house whatsoever. One more thing no central heating.
I doubt many of todays generation would even survive a week if we were all to be transported back to the 50s. I lived in an 1890s house as a kid and we had a brewhouse and a tin bath!! Many thanks for your comment, much appreciated
I used to live where that health centre is they were maisonettes it was called Moor street I lived there from 1981 to 1985. There were underground carparks on there too. I was 7 to about 11...Also went to Lyng infant and junior school.
@@awalkwithphil I have pictures of inside but I don’t recall any taken outside. Mom played there every weekend for several years. It was packed out every night. Very popular. I can’t remember where it would have been and all those new houses disorientate what was. Shame but I have lovely memories of a time when the world was a lot less intense. Keep up the good work.
I think it's what people demand now. More cars to park, less time to cut grass. I like my lawn, but I can see why others in the street have tarmaced over theirs. Just the world changing
Change change, change to the point where nothing can be reconciled. Why change the street names? I don’t get it……… unless it’s to give the redeveloped area a totally new persona.
When I was young I lived in a high rise block.of flats opposite the prince Albert. Called Caldwell house there was a park next to it called lyng park ❤
