This is so impressive. Having enjoying walking the park every weekend, it’s amazing to be able to go back in time by watching these videos

Old Woolwich! Obliterated by Greenwich Council and the demolition of rows of neat Victorian terrace housing and the replacement by gutter tower blocks!

Great memories of Wimbledon park and canazaro absolutely stunning place’s best times 60/70s

Thank you for stirring up beautiful memories. Do you know if the pic at 4.43 is close to Bridge Road, which is steps away from the foot bridge you climb to go to the Pavilions Mall? Thanks indeed 👍👍

I now live in the area that they built.

David ammis RIP

Ah Uxbridge! The town where u can get arrested for singing gospel songs.

My Great Grandfather Worked Here in 1885. He was a Doctor. Were Civilian Physicians Allowed to Live at the Arsenal As well as work there

To anyone who cares … Shoeburyness does NOT “face out to the ocean”.

Having watched this I simply HAD to check … according to google maps the A13 meets its ‘demise’ somewhere in Shoeburyness, as it joins the B1016.

Before London was ruined by mass immergration

Was on the good ship Uganda in 1971 - I learned that poverty wasn't not having cheap trainers - not having a solid floor in your house -as we witnessed in the Azores is poverty. We mixed from both sides of the West of Scotland divide and found that neither of us had horns ! We discovered friendly people where we stopped and came back realising that people are people where ever you roam. I will always be grateful for the voyage and the facts of life it taught me.

I was in the RTR army cadets (camberwell) standing guard at this event. I was only 14. I am not on film unfortunately but i recall seeing the Queen & Duke driving past. God Bless you my Queen & Duke-RIP

We lived in that building. Moved in end of 70, early 71 I think, and our in 78

I remember them being built

In my memory the pub was the Roundabout and the transport cafe was Charlie Browns. Have I been wrong all this time - was it Ted's cafe (rings a bell), so what or who was Charlie Brown who gave his name to the road junction / roundabout and is still known by that name?

I like the dissolve change scene effects.

Why no added soundtrack ?

Those stone chippings were dangerous in the wet when braking

Uxbridge was 95% local British people up untill around 2000 in 23 years a complete wipeout of local people.

Wonderful market ..Don't know if any of the original Market trader families are still there. Lovely market back in the 50s,60s and 70s.Very much in the decline now😢.

I remember the roundabout pub, Ted's cafe and the sweetshop and post office. Now we have the North circular. A bloody eyesore.

How did they survive without diversity?

Erith Riverside, where Morrisons is should’ve been made up entertainment centre, shopping, rather than a hole Morrisons, taking it all it should have been cinema Adult casino moorings people from down the river boats could more their boats there and enjoy entertainment Bexley Council have heads up there heads up --s

where's the soundtrack?

Thanks for this interesting video. The historic footage is amazing.

I was in the job back then London was busy but safer we did make a difference, nice to see the Thames boys with their Thames marketing on the tunics ,

home of Moscow17

Eltham Palace?

This school is now an academy. The only thing left is the playing fields.

Loving the Sutton street

Back when officers were respected because they had been recruited and trained correctly.

Nice upload. I actually went and watched the explosion. It was on a Sunday I think. I enjoyed the camera panning around the skyline. It hasn't changed much in the past 30 years.

Love this video!

Fuck me,I was there 1990 for the Poll Tax "protests! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My grandmother is at the front of the french team, waving her hand. She died a few years later at only 31... And my grand father is walking behind, they met on the boat to those Games.

Fascinating! I was brought up in Tooting and Brixton before moving to East London. Lovely nostalgic film of life at a much slower pace. Way better than today's multi-cultural rat race.

Good Old STOGS - was there from '57 to '64. I recognised all the teachers and many of the older lads, particularly in the science labs and orchestra. Never regretted going there - a great grammar school serving the inner boroughs of London. Thank You, LondonScreenArchive - a treasure for all of us who remember our alma mater. Now it's a hotel! Nicely decorated but not the same!! Cheers - Dai.

rip incognito, gb and cj 🇷🇺

Interesting video, my Grandfather worked there from the early twenties untill the mid sixties after serving in the first world war.

I was on this very cruise - 225. Great memories. Was also on cruise 181 in 1970 and a reunion cruise without teachers in, I think, 1974.

My dad used to work for the coop. There offices wer at Woolwich arsenal.

The town where the greatest football club was founded have it all the gooners world wide

I worked at the Electro platers off the high street behind the now good yarn pub from 1977/1990. And the busses upto 2016, all changed now, Randall’s has gone like many other shops.
