Kelly Young hair was 'Ryans Bar'.

In the late 70s we use to buy our 'grass' from some guy who did his business hanging around the back of The Forrester. :). My family was Irish and lived in West Ealing. We use to go the the Catholic Church in Hanwell and the big cathedral-like church in Ealing. His Sister and her family lived near Jacob's Ladder and his Mother had a small apartment in Hanwell. I remember when the IRA was a big thing, my vocal pro-Irish father had his own building business with our obvious Irish family name plastered on the side of the Ford Transits. Driving around the local area he was a prime target for being pulled over and questioned. Remember as a kid being with him a few times when it happened. Should have heard him bitterly curse Great Britain at times. :)

Moved to the USA in 1999. But watching your video it is amazing to first see how much the area has changed but then how much it has not after these 25 years.

That was good.

Thank you for the video. Still prefer how it looks in the early 70s and before. Just looks more disjointed now. And I really loved the old West Ealing station. Even remember when there was just countryside by the Greenford Branch line before they build that ugly housing estate all over it.

Up until the late 1960s I recall fondly that this was a vibrant and very attractive town, with a select demographic. Sadly it appears to be the opposite of all that now. I can only guess that planners and the influx of the last few decades has put paid to it all. I did visit the town in January 2024 and saw the new De Haan beach development and the Leas development (the latter now on hold and in Receivership). It will clearly never re-attain it's classic charm, but hopefully over the next few decades more prosperous people will move in and and encourage better shops, restaurants and facilities.

Since this video was made.....Wilkos shut down......and re - opened😕🤠. Argos shut down and moved to Sainsburys on Belmont Rd.😊

Wow

Thank you for the fond memories. I had BLAST while I was stationed there from 1979 to 1984. I left a Griffon to watch over you lots. Cheers!

If you had wandered past McDonalds inside the Chimes you would have come across information on the wall about the history of Uxbridge from Roman times to today.😊

Where are the white people ?

No one cycles around this area. Horrible place. How many fish, meat, n veg shops do you need. Banks leaving. Old Crown up for sale so will disappear as a pub. Flats are bought up by developers super expensive - not for locals. Do not walk down by the canal!

❤ beautiful ❤️

Used to holiday in St Mary's Bay just up the a259 as a kid with my parents from the mid 70s until 2020, when they moved away from the area sadly. I have many many wonderful memories of this little place, and love the fact I was able to bring my kids too and they loved it equally. That little arcade you pass at 4:03 was my mecca, it had seemingly every arcade machine that was huge at the time in the mid 80s....outrun, hang on, chase hq, gauntlet, Darius, roadblasters....too many to mention all squeezed in that little space, and you could hear the machines as you walked towards it along the front. I last visited there in I think 2015 and sadly all those brilliant machines had been replaced by the coin guzzlers and claw machines. Such a shame!! Great video

Great video but..... You missed a lot out, there is another area at end of Victoria Road with a cinema and various restaurants, and a huge mural on the end of a factory wall. Secondly you should have walked further up from High Street going past Dreams on your right you would have to come across Tesco then another small shopping area then another 50+ metres another set of shops go past those and you'll come to another set of shops on your left, you'll see a small church and that is the original Feltham village which when I was a child had shops in it.

Well it looks more modern

Nice video

Thank you for this ballad..!🩷 I love Maidenhead...for private raisons..! 🐣

Last time I visited I left fairly quickly as I could not find anyone who spoke English. No reason to think it has improved since.

Thanks for this post. I Grew up in that village. The famous footballer Danny Blanchflower is buried in St Judes cemetery . The white building next to the Holly Tree pub, now a real estate agent, used to be the public toilets ! The white Italian style church is the Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of the Assumption where I was once an Altar boy. My old local was the Happy Man. At the other end of the village is the Green with cricket pitches and another old pub, The Barley Mow, where the loser of the last duel fought in England was taken after being shot on Priest Hill.

I saw this and I thought Wow how it had changed from my youth here . What would have been wonderful is a narration of history , quotes 👍people who worked there and lived there .

Muchas gracias por su video. Me ayuda mucho. Voy a alejarme unos día allá. En enero 2025

I did my National Service at RAF hospital Uxbridge 1958 - 1960. Hospital famous for Douglas Bader(legless fighter pilot). Shots of hospital can be seen in film Reach For The Sky made a couple of years before I was there.

The Marxist Labour councillor John Mcdonell has ruined Hayes town , Demographically Hayes town is now unrecognisable from 50 years ago many Asians , Somalis and Eastern Europeans have moved into Hayes , the overspill of asians from its neighbouring town of southall has contributed to the changes . I remember when Hayes was predominately a white working class town. Anyone remember the shops Paynes , All weather clothing , Steve Perryman sports , Dodders , Allied carpets , Toy well , Sainsbury’s, Youngs , Woolworths , Penningtons.

Grew up round here. Nice to see it still looks as grotty as it ever did!

keep sloughing on

Grew up there. 1:02 We lived down that road, Laurel Gardens in late 70s, maybe early 80s but moved out when I was really young so I don't remember that house. Moved up to Part Road instead. 11:04 That was derelict for years in the late 80s, early 90s, that old church. Always looked creepy.

I don’t like this video because Wilko is closed please delete this video

Thank you for the video. I was born in this city in 1971 , then moved to the states 5 years later. Always wanted to go back and experience the city.

I lived in staines from 1954 - 1968.....I always wanted to do a return visit so looked this video up.....I won't be returning.. I will keep the lovely memories I have......so sad to see it so changed..but that's progress for you😢. Thanks for the video though...

So many wonderful memories ❤

HAHA “MAIDENHEAD!” that’s a word for a Hyman!

interesting thanks . 😁😁😁

Great video, but it looks like winter.

I used to live here. God I’m pleased I left. What a dump.

Used to live down Iver Lane, which the GU cuts across by The Shovel, just below Cowley, and we'd travel over to Hayes to the swimming pool. Left in 71/2, not been back since. Is the pool still there ¿?
