Bygone Days,1960's Eastcote

[@johndryden4356]

Wow I lived in Eastcote, Castleton Road, from c. 1949/50 to 1977 and still have fond memories. Worked in Television House in the 70's, used the Manor House and Clay Pidgeon in my teens and twenties, went to Field End Infannt and Juniour School, Bourne Secondary Modern - too many memories. Eastcote House say Shirley Bassey there God knows when, in the 60's. Ho Hum

Wonderful, I'm sad for what's gone now especially the lovely buildings like Eastcote House, Ascott House, Hayden Hall (the originals) and all the other places of interest deemed not worth saving by the local Council at the time. The walled garden, dovecote and stable building still remains at Eastcote House. Thank you for posting this.

Used to be a lovely place, spent a lot of time there as a kid in the 60’s. Like most towns, it’s gone down hill now. Recent stabbings, and a murder in a bar, that saw a lot of news coverage. I really miss the happier times.

BEAUTIFUL - BRING IT ALL BACK :-(

it's funny to see that Eastcote high street has always been very busy!

Eastcote is in Middlesex not far from harrow and Watford.

[@Bloxdio_God]

It's far enough from Watford thankfully. Watford is now a dump as is Harrow.

[@SwampyVision]

Hi Pete, Sorry i can't help you there but keep looking as someone may post later :)

[@SwampyVision]

No i'm not sure but I think it was pretty close to this time :)

[@SwampyVision]

I agree, but it's not going to happen :( Thanks for posting !

[@SwampyVision]

Thanks, I wish I could :(

[@unclebill1948]

This is where I grew up in the 60s. Are you sure the film isn't the 50s?

[@beds139]

From the look of the cars I would place this as very late 50s to very early 60s.

The world was such a nicer place back then ☹️
