Around Chesham and Amersham 1989

A car ride around parts of Amersham and Chesham in 1989 including Chesham High Street when it was still open to traffic.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the world through 14 year old eyes again. Thank you.

Fantastic video of the way we were in Chesham and Amersham.

[@BevanEdwards]

Wow, some things I never realised - Boot & Slipper has had that name way longer than I realised, Wenzels in Chesham used to be a small petrol station and Superdrug has been in the same place in Amersham since before I was born (1993). Thanks for sharing.

@Bevan Edwards sure am. Hi mate, how have you been?

[@oldgoat5589]

I lived in Chesham in the early sixties. All changed, now.

[@jonathan4835]

Pedestrianising the high street was definitely one of the best things they've done for the town

[@gren509]

The "Boot and Slipper" was better know as the "George and Dragon" by the locals; but went back to the old name when the landlords, George and his wife, left ;-)

I remember Chesham And Amersham in the late 70s. Memories. I hope the Police were not behind you you seemed to be speeding 😅

wow look how quiet it is

[@mosin777khan5]

any more videos

2020 looks way different

[@johnmarktasker]

Not that much in many ways. Chesham seems to me to have grown largely in the 1970s and then only modernised but not developed.

[@robertcramb4654]

Do you have any info on Chesham in the 80s?

[@carlton_mpj]

Sorry, no

[@jasonparfitt5936]

Those roads are so dead compared to now it’s all snarled up

[@davidmayo8513]

Rubbish. Repeat it at normal speed and us “oldies” would then be able to see how many shop names have changed. That’s recording history, not blurry pictures. Try again please!!0

[@carlton_mpj]

It is at normal speed filmed from a moving car. Sorry you don't like it, I merely posted it in case anyone was interested. The quality is a 1989 domestic video, not a profession film
