Did the owners of The Black Boy Pub not get into trouble over the choice of name? After all many woke lefties would consider it to be racist. Pathetic I know, but that seems to the trend these days.

After looking at the old images, the modern images where the old buildings have been replaced by new ones are an eyesore.

It’s really brilliant the way you’ve put this together, Gary. It’s so sad to see how the green fields and lanes of Park Street Village have been replaced by less scenic architecture… and yet some whispers of its past still linger along its highways… such as my 400 year old cottage which was due to be replaced by a petrol station had the previous renovators not had the foresight to protect it with a Grade Two Listing. Thank you for capturing social history so effectively as we all tremble on the brink of what the rapidly Segro project intends to inflict on this defenceless old village.

Thankyou Gary for a beautiful memory of my childhood, I lived and grew up in the high street from birth to 21. You can see my home in the old BW pic of the High St, the black car is parked outside, I lived in the flat, above my fathers shop, the one with the Hovis sign above my living room window. Thankyou, this is beautifully made. ❤

The title "Radlett" is somewhat misleading. The video shows other places which are not part of the village of Radlett. Those villages (Shenley, Letchmore Heath, Aldenham and Elstree) are NOT part of "RADLETT" and do not come within the definition of the village of "RADLETT" in any shape or form, contrary to the implicit assertion. It would have been better if the video had concentrated on the actual village of Radlett and not the separate surrounding villages.

Wow the Odeon on St. Albans Rd.. there used to be trips to Calais around this time every year back in the day and the coach would park outside the cinema as a departure point. Knocked down for housing in the 90s, as per usual.
