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.😊

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!

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 I last visited there in I think 2015 and sadly all those brilliant machines had been replaced by the coin guzzlers and claw machines.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.

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 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 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.

Grew up in 44 Myrtle road ( the street with Queen Elizabeth painting) from ‘63, best childhood in a lovely working class town, up to mischief every day with the Brookers, Pearces, Sims, Gethings, Horners, Pigeons, Gunners, Kays et al kids. Such happy memories, my old town changed too much for my liking.

I live in Slough. Its not as segregated as people say. I think its great that Black blokes are systematically going round screwing many (not all) Chav White girls on poor run down council estates in Britwell, Cippenham Manor Park, Wexham and Langley. It makes me extremely happy that the Whites and Blacks indulge in a lifestyle that makes them happy. At least they are intergrated which is what they always wanted. The Asians as usual own all the shops in Slough. They are the most hard-working people I've ever seen but they do not speak English very well. The Romanians form their own little communities and don't really interact with anyone as most of them do not speak English very well either. The Polish people are very racist towards Blacks and they also form their own little communities. The main problem is that all the various groups do not interact with each other. It's mainly only Blacks and Whites who actually interact with each other with most of the interaction being sexual in nature. Integration can only work when everyone speaks the same language. If no one bothers to learn to speak English integration will never work. The Polish people are very hard-working but they are very racist towards Blacks so intergration is not possible. They are also White but they are not Anglo-Saxon so their behaviour is very different from the indigenous British. The only two groups of people in the entire country of Great Britain that are truly integrated are indigenous British people and Black Caribbean people. The interaction between these two groups is mainly sexual in nature. We see this behaviour on poor run down council estates throughout Britain. Whatever makes them happy is cool with me.
