Melton Mowbray; Then & Now transitions

[@windalicka]

Fantastic! I too live in Melton Mowbray and thought it was brilliant. If only we could turn the clocks back.

[@fingalful1]

England is such a beautiful country. I've been to most of her counties but I've never been to Melton Mowbray. English architecture is so quaint compared to ours in Scotland. I'm never satisfied till I have my twice yearly fixes of Hampshire & Devon and the lovely towns I pass through getting to them. But I must get over to MM soon. I've been fortunate enough to enjoy your pies so hopefully I'll soon enjoy the place!

Very well done David. R Urquhart - Melton Mowbray & District Historical Society.

[@dstirl]

Thanks. There are lots more of these 'then and nows' on the Remember Melton website. I'm hoping to create a few more KZbin clips from them when I get a chance.

wonderful video-just wish i could do the same to my home town of kirkby-in-ash.

[@dstirl]

Melton looked so much cleaner and quieter then. No garish shop fronts, no lorries and cars thundering down the streets. I can't see us ever recapturing that pace of life. More's the pity!

i came across this video clip looking for info or pictures of " the elms " someone sold a picture/postcard of it on ebay. i have never heard of it before . the reason i am interested in it , is because we have an elms here in newport R.I. , ( i have been there a few times ) they appeared to look similiar . can anyone help me find more info on this ?

You try standing in the middle of Burton Street bridge and taking a photo - then you'll see how much it's changed :o)

wow that's nice i too live in melton and i wouldnt be proud

[@dstirl]

The manager of the Regent Cinema found some v. early footage of Melton in his basement. But I think it was pre-WW2 - maybe the 1930s. He donated it to some organisation based in Nottingham that stores early video. I tried to put some of it on a DVD, but they wanted thousands of pounds. So it just sits there gathering dust. Which is a great pity. And not what the cinema owner intended :o(

[@dstirl]

Thanks for the comment. I'm hoping to do some more as soon as I get the chance. And this time in high definition. D

David Stirling hello this is a Royal Family member of the Melton Castle in Mowbray Melton and the name is for me is Joshua Melton

[@dstirl]

If you can get some old and new photos, I'd be more than happy to help you create a video. Likewise with anyone else who'd be interested in doing one for their home town/village.

[@dstirl]

That's ok - I didn't take it the wrong way. It's good to get some comments!

I heard the roads around melton mowbray are very dangerous, there have been many cases of car accidents, both fatal and not, around here. One of my closest friends is from melton mowbray. she was in a car crash around melton too. Lovely town though.

[@nickthefox72]
