No, it shouldn't be. If you look on the Lloyds Bank building you will see just 'Kingsbury' and that part of the building dates from 1921. Also, modern signs also say the same thing. You may find in old newspapers it being called Kingsbury Square but that has never been its official name.

All I have at the moment are some photos showing the archaeological dig there when the ground was cleared and also some of Coldharbour Way and the roundabout. Also some of the first houses that were built.

Not sure if true, but somebody claimed the Bulls Head had a "second" wall structure in front of the old one with only one of them was an "unsafe structure"
@AylesburyRememberedАй бұрын
That façade was added in the 1920s by the proprietor Mr Gargini. I'm not sure how secure it was. The problems at the Bulls Head arose when work was being done on the bank on the corner. I believe it undermined the foundations of the hotel and caused damage. However, I don't think that demolishing the entire site was warranted. It went back a long way. Surely not all of it was at risk. Dodgy times.

I've been enjoying these. In 2008, before flying home to Australia, I wanted to complete my aim of having used each major London rail terminus, I even used Broad Street. Marylebone alone remained. A quick trip to Aylesbury resulted. So, the Aylesbury station hasn't changed, and the modern High Street view I can remember. Thank you. These compilations are fascinating and valuable.

loved seeing picture of Cliff Hercules again. Our marriage breakfast was at the club house (12.1988) as it could seat over 100. Arrived in horse and carriage, scare was that if Aylesbury got further in FA Cup, they would play at home that Saturday rather than away as planned!

Just what Aylesbury needs is some more houses which will go well with the thousands of others built over the last decade. For what was the senior club in Aylesbury to be plying their trade in Chesham is a disgrace and the former AVDC councillors who done nothing to stop this club leaving Aylesbury should hold their heads in shame. Fat chance.

It would be nice to see the Ducks come home at some point...maybe before the 2040s? I wonder what happened to the Friar's Square Duck, was it rescued? Is it stored somewhere waiting for a new AUFC stadium?

I agree. I'm not a football fan but think that the town should have a team at home. It's crazy. We are the county town. As for the duck, I don't know what happened to it. I thought it was over at Cottesloe Road but that is a different one. I did find a photo of it from 2003 at the AUFC stadium where they had taken it down and left it on the ground by a fence. It looked in a sorry state then.

Thanks for sharing, this is great.

The great Cliff Hercules lived on Bedgrove near out school, great memories of the cup run to QPR at Loftus Road and pretty sure I went to the final match at the old ground (Turnfurlong was it?) before they moved to Buckingham Road. Sad to hear the ground has been knocked down.
