Everyone is slim! The cars are British made. The streets look clean and safe. Wonderful! Why did we allow politicians to destroy this?

Just before these days Kent, like Surrey, were not in London, then of course English politicians started manipulating the electoral boundaries (without complain?) due to expansion, mostly by immigration, hence London buses etc

At the 5.51 mark we see a dark aubergine colour mini clubman sporting a full lenght webasto sun roof ,SUU 950N so this section dates this portion of the film between August 1st 1974 to july 75 , but I'd go with 1974.

1968 was the year Jim Morrison and the Doors toured England. To think that my favorite band was at the height of their popularity during this filming is quite interesting to me. Was hoping to see an advert of their shows. Or…something!

Just found this! What a treasure. My brother in law is a member of the Killick Family who had the estate agents on the corner opposite the Swan. Most of my youth was spent in and around West Wickham and walking miles through Spring Park Wiods and the surrounding commons. Before Stanton’s furniture shop (diametrically opposite the Swan) opened, it was John Surtees motorcycles. I used to spend hours staring dreaming at the beautiful bikes through their window as a small child. I remember my mother being ecstatic at Sainsbury’s opening in (I think 1963). What a time travel experience

All the buses (the sunny day film?) have 1968 adverts on them and the bus at 7:36 has a poster for 'My Giddy Aunt' (RH side) that ran at The Strand June 20-Sept 21st 1968. With the newspaper headline about the Czech Crisis at 19:04 (Aug 1968) we can say for certain the bulk of this film is from Summer 1968.

Love the motors, all now classed as classic cars and at 14:02 a very rare Singer Hunter saloon, which would sport a horses bonnet mascot. Youngest age for it at that time would be 16 yrs old. As built from 1954 to 1956 , sorry about my useless information unless you are a classic car enthusiast. Cheers all.

@@highpath4776 Hello, I love all classics, including the Renault 14 . The Singer Hunter Saloon was the last Singer produced by the original Singer Motor Company, before Rootes took them over in 1956 and produced the Singer Gazelle. Because the Singer Hunter had a horses head mascot, hence the name Hunter, referring to a horse. I owned three of them. Google it to view a pic. Cheers 🥂

Scary to think that this was around the time that I was born! My parents formally moved to WW in 1967, so I have been sitting in a forlorn hope that they might just appear! The junction by 'The Swan' hasn't really changed that much. The front door on the library stayed the same throughout my childhood and beyond. Many happy memories of childhood rekindled....

I remember too when those lamp posts were replaced, presumably by Bromley Council at the time. I am not sure when it was, but I am guessing it was in the mid 1980s, although I could be wrong on that, and indeed it was such a shame too. Thank you for that anyway-well done too!!
