Past Times: Rickmansworth, the Bury and High Street March 1993

A trip back in time to 1993, showing the Batchworth Arms before demolition, St Mary's Church, Rickmansworth Church Street, High Street and Penn Place.

My last memories of Rickmansworth or "Ricky" are from this time.

Hasn't changed much it seems

Any idea what kind of business 'Serves-U-Rite' is/was?

It was a general store much like FW Woolworths, but on a smaller scale. M & Co now reside on where the Rickmansworth Woolworths used to be.

I remember the store, I wasn't around when this was filmed but I remember it closing, it was a general goods store, filled with tools, string, everything you could ever need

I wonder if Tesco will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next year (2022) at Frogmore Wharf having opened in 1992. Does anyone know what month? I always wanted to see videos or photos of it being built but could never find anything. I was working at Tesco Ricky between 2001-2005 and remember the celebration of the 10th anniversary when most of the promises had been broken like not being 24 hours and being closed on a Sunday. Not many people know that there are still underground pipes by the delivery gate running into the council offices next door. The plan was to have a Tesco petrol filling station as well but never came to and don't think it ever will. I think the council and residents objections might get in the way, however, this is Tesco. I know how they work. Tudor Parade is the example and if Three Rivers are that strapped for cash, a multi-billion pound company will "chu-ching" in the chairman's eyes.
