Farnborough Road

[@susilouhh]

I moved to the US and have been having a small bout of homesickness, yes I know that sounds crazy, but this was very helpful, very nostalgic and made me feel much better. Thanks

[@skichris01]

This is brilliant!! Live long our little crappy town!!

[@solarsatan9000]

The fact I can locate every image makes me depressed af

[@billwah87]

Ellie you gorgeous soul - I still revisit this at least once a month. Absolute banger!

[@JonXDom]

Loving the Tumbledown reference!

[@DPCSchannel]

I lived at 99 fbo Road 2004 to 2010 with a band of fuckups. Best times of my life. Quarantine was a staple. The Swan before it was poncey, pick a window your leaving. Oh the fun. Rock on fbo

[@MrStamford78]

Stunning video! Actually makes you quite proud to live here. I'm repping the cove grove area, Medway est. at least it isn't Aldershot! Truly dire and quite sad.

[@DPCSchannel]

The ashot ghetto blud

[@3rdtimeunlucky]

FARNBOROUGH!!!! MY CHILDHOOD!!!

[@ntv3770]

so you used to live there

[@fireinthetacobell]

Yes it's a shit hole, but I grew up in Farnborough (21 years), and looking at those pictures I have fond memories of growing up there, and spending evenings out with friends when we were too young to go anywhere. And yes, they need to bring the Tumbledown/Quarantine back, that place rocked.

[@randomcontentt.123]

My favourite song

[@iamb-side8613]

Grrrrreat vid and song, males me proper proud to be a Boro boy :-) I played at the Tumbly few times, even had a little queue for our first gig, many moons ago x

[@ceryspridmore6312]

I rode a donkey in the donkey derby haha, omg king George was my shit 😂

[@James-gc5if]

On the plus side, the buses are a lot more regular now, the twice-weekly market is awesome in its new location, there's a new university opening, and the cinema is finally here. It's not all bad :-)

[@DerpySquiddles4043]

it isnt a university, its a glorified library

[@phooto]

The "Local Nutters" link with the picture was a dig at a rival camera club that meets there. I originally showed this for an Audio-Visual competition at my camera club, so this was an 'in joke' against Farnborough Camera Club, all meant in good humour.

[@b2466-d8x]

Funny that you had to explain it too

[@seeamanaboutadog3872]

I went to play school in that building then years later fished the pond at the front and took some goldfish home for my fish tank 🎣

[@lynda47100]

I am nearly 50 and lived in Farnborough my entire time.....it's not as bad as the song makes out lol I prefered the town in the 70's though...give me a tardis!!!!

[@AgirlindayZDUWHAAAA]

Makes me miss Farnborough:( oxford boi now

[@simon_greig]

Oh and I was there about 2 mins after the coffee machine exploded and I didn't take a photo. Great work.

[@kevinscott6103]

Sooooo good...

[@ChrisPhilpot]

Absolutely love it! The only disappointment was the lack of mention of a certain College of Technology. Its particular branch of clientèle could doubtless inspire an extra verse...

[@BenjaminWRLangford]

could be worse. could be in Aldershot, home of the subway that moved out and the blockbuster unit that still has a blockbuster sign.

[@CharlesWallPiano]

"The cop shops only open for half the day, and that's proper gay" Its bloody shut now!

[@nlo114]

It's been demolished!

[@iamb-side8613]

Good, was never any use, more a hindrence

[@TamaEnergy]

YEEEAH LETS GO FLY A PLANE INTO ASDA MEGASTORE CUZ THATS WHAT WE DO IN FARNBOROUGH AYAYA ;)

[@b18269]

hahahahah bring back the Tumbledown. I have no where to mosh anywhere

[@SEPASKUM]

why when "local nutters" is sung theres a picture of a place where people with disabilities meet?

[@freshdamon]

the tumble down was all farborough had.... a bit of me died the day it closed

[@solarsatan9000]

I mean it has an airport and every year is the home to billions of pounds worth of aircraft contracts both defense and civilian

[@cartimand]

Great song but they missed out the joys of Cove Green (aka 'dog turd city'). Hey but at least we don't live in Aldershot! Oh and I want my Tumbledown back too - what a shame Wetherspoons didn't use it for the Tilly Shilling!

[@simon_greig]

This is fantastic. I remember playing pool at lunchtimes in the Tumbledown before it turned into to a music venue. I moved to Guildford as it had more going on - and the bearded lady is still around I saw her last week :-)

[@voovoo8]

Agree we need a heart putting back in Farnborough - no civic centre, cinema or centre meeting place? There are some lovely places like Queen Elizabeth Park and the Abbey - we do have a history too - make time to find out.

[@injuxtice]

Yaaayy!

[@LlamaFluff]

This is me

[@carinamonteiro]

Yes, give us back tamble down!

[@DerpySquiddles4043]

Carina M regarding the tumble down, iv got some news...

[@raymiddleton1901]

[@08martinh]

This is very funnyy

[@simon_greig]

Maybe the sequel can talk about the demise of the CCC in the Swan since it was taken over?

[@mrnatty122]

Beats living in Dorchester.

[@wokentree8731]

Real

[@manphelan]

[@amydrawss]

[@gold2368]

[@iloveyouhunny]

[@sweetiecreamy9065]
