[@Matt-ve2xx]

What a great nostalgic video. I went to Northolt high school in the mid 1980s. Mrs brown was the Head teacher. The was a cafe by the clock tower by the plough pub. I used to hang around with Stuart bryce

Heavens, this brings back memories of riding my BMX around Northolt Village Green.

Where I grew up! Thank you so much for sharing

Lovely to see it so clean and tidy. A world away from what it is today, like many places in the UK.

Man it's CRAZY to see soo much of northolt back then.. I was born in the mid 90's so i grew up seeing northolt in the late 90's and 2000's, even to this day. I have to say it was much more of a countryside than what it is now.. Much more cozy, there's so much more development in northolt nowadays. Thank You for uploading this!

Hi Haider, it has changed a lot over the years! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

[@johnjackson1781]

@@RobMidlife It looks exactly the same apart from the plough being flats and a little Sainsbury's and the swimming baths being a new one. The Load of hay is a crappy harvester and 2 of them on the bikes have still got the same barnets.

My sister went out with andy king. He had a brother cant remember his name.

Amazing how Northolt gangs now shoot Rayners Lane gangs and vice versa. It's full on gang warfare between HA2 and UB5. I'm 40 and grew up in Rayners Lane, I had friends and raver mates in Northolt, but no chance of that these days. Learnt to swim at Swimerama! I fled London a few years ago but work with a geezer who'd have been the age of the riders in this video who lived on the Islip manor park estate.

[@johnh1252]

Im 54. Billy Walsh got killed in beef between northolt and s.harrow i think. Back in the 80s!

[@tonytutone2003]

Wow. Am in Australia now. But grew up here. Was so cool seeing it how it used to be. Also there was no graffiti in the train station tunnel? i recon these guys must have been a yr after me at school. used to reno bikes I found and sell them in the paper!

[@Ian-Hall]

Amazing how a BMX bike can turn into a Raleigh Grifter in one turn.

[@pepsi666]

The plough has gone, the load of hay has changed, what happened to the kids on the bikes, where are they now ?

[@originalfingerprince]

@robmidlife:nice post mate,what schools did you go to and when?,all the beat.

[@Mr_M_]

Stumbled upon this video as my family have lived in Northolt for years and my mum has lived here all her life. We've all become fairly convinced that the woman in the underpass at 4:10 is her 😂. When I questioned her about it she said she had that same hair style and jacket in 1986 and she lived very close to Northolt Station where this was filmed.

[@arthurreeder8451]

The scum bags burned The Plough down so it could be redeveloped. Amazing how they get away with stuff like that. You wouldn't be able to ride a bike there now, someone would nick it off you before you got on the saddle😢

[@mikekaraoke]

Classic footage from the mid 80's! And clothes and some of the hair styles people have now..... What video camera was this filmed on Rob??

[@johnh1252]

Northolt wasnt a nice area really. I went to Wood End and Northolt High in the 80s
