I grew up in Chorleywood. Funnily enough my Yellow MG Midget is in the video at 1:32. I live in Las Vegas now.

Thanks Les so much for your great edited between Christmas Carols and Christmas Trees! Well done both of us! Thumb up! Merry Christmas to you and Carol! xx

I love this! Thank you so much! xx🤩

TOX was the tag name for the young graffiti criminal

Many thanks for posting.

My sister and I were fortunate to visit the museum a few weeks ago. My grandfather and great grandfather used to work for the council based where the museum is now located. Following my mum's death this year, we retraced her home in Chorleywood and her wedding reception at The Swan Hotel in 1959. The museum were generous in their time and allowing us to peruse the archives. We donated some of my grandfather's drawings and information about Moor Park. It was wonderful and helped us connect with mum in a special way.

One man whose vital contribution wasn't mentioned by the chairman was Jim Forder, of the Croxley Camera Club! A very fine input to the brochure, Jim, for which we're very grateful - forgive the oversight!

A nice video, Les. :)

Great footage, thank you Les. :D

No 2 Is no longer relevant unfortunately

Lovely! Thank you for sharing! xx

Thanks, dear Les for providing some subtitles for the deaf people like myself. Great video indeed! I was there twice in your video! I look forward to watching The First Batchworth Boat Rally Sunday 19th May 2024, as well as your video of my sign language at TRMT when you are ready! xx

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Love them 😄😄😄

Thanks, Les for providing the subtitles for the deaf people like myself! Nice Ricky Festival 2014 memories! Roll on next Ricky Canal Festival - I would look forward to go on a canal boat cruise to Lot Mead and back then! Thank you.

My Grandad Alf Best was a lock keeper at Stockers Lock. Many great memories of working the locks with him. That white house is beautiful.

hey.... interesting.... but its not a swing bridge its a lift bridge. Peace

Why hasn't Mick got an apostrophe in his name in his fruiterers shop sign? ... Tut, tut! And people usually say on these films that everybody is thin, and there are no "foreigners" or mobile phones!

Where did you get this footage? The documentary this was part of only includes Mr Tibbles’ journey to Baker St, not from, and I’m looking for footage of the A-Stock being taken into and out of service. Any help finding the source footage would be brilliant.

Thanks, Les so much! Your edited video is great! I am so happy! Many thanks again! 🎅😊

Retirement is never as easy as it's cracked up to be , working for 40 years plus then stop . Memories are all that's left . Finding something to do is key . Good luck

Funeral on 11the Dec St Mary’s Rickmansworth 10.30

Keith passed away sadly a few days ago .

May he rest in peace 😊

Proper job. I see what's his name from the Inland Waterways is There. 73.

The Octopus and the Waltzers two of the oldest rides and still two of the most thrilling rides

what is happening to the remaining pipes ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKGrm3yni6yLbLs

Nasty man this shit house

If you look it’s American doctors

Most of these people have never been inside

How many people have. Actually been i this place I have

Shame there isn't a set of these trains left now. Scrapping everything was most economically viable. Memories are superficial.

This is exactly what I was looking for, a gasometer well with the water still filled. Apart from that it's wanton destruction. I mean, they're our past too...

Thank you so much for having provided some subtitles for the deaf people like myself, including what Mark Saxon has said! Great video indeed! Thanks so much! I look forward to watching your next videos when you are ready!

Such an incredible joy to find this lovely video! I do miss Ricky! I hope the festival was a truly wonderful success! With much love ❤ from a former Miss Rickmansworth (c.1973) now residing on the other side of the World! 🇦🇺

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I'll give the museum a visit when I next get the change :)

Awesome!! This is good stuff!

I have visited this several times, over the years. Always good to have. Even better when you could arrive by steam train on the ‘Steam on the Met’ weekend. 😀

Why do they have to do away with everything? A question The water inside the tanks must be polluted by contact with the gas(?) Where do they dispose of it or is 'safe' to pour down the drain?

If he thinks they ruined it then. I wonder what he thinks of it now 😔

Great video! 👌

Is Keith still with us?

I did enjoy that lecture it brought back lovely memories, as i lived at 56 watford rd during the war

I have a beautiful photo of this Chapel in the snow in 1980 as I lived in the village. It still had its bell tower then which is missing by the time this viedo was made. Happy memories.

Any idea what kind of business 'Serves-U-Rite' is/was?

All the best Keith ... I was a regular passenger on your trains many times and you always had the time to say hello .

What a wonderful video to stumble across. I was born in Chorleywood, moved to St Albans when I was 7, but still have early memories of my dad taking us on Sunday drives in his Morris Minor down a tree lined lane (Loudwater Lane?).

Thank you Deborah for your support, great to see this, Craige

I can't believe this popped up on KZbin. I was Keith's manager and was just behind the camera for his last trip. Tim O'Toole, the head of the Underground came to see Keith at 5am that day to say thanks to him. Didn't want to do it when the cameras were there so came when Keith booked on first thing.
