[@paulcowell7588]

When people expected very little and appreciated what they had.in the 70s we were all still free.the best decade....no question.

My Mum was born in Wyndham rd in the 1920’s and my great grandparents lived in Devonshire rd, my memories of visiting in the 60’s & 70’s was of a lovely area with a close knit supporting community with some great country walks nearby, very proud of their heritage as Doverian’s and doing their bit at the front line defending England in “Hell Fire corner”.

[@IKS-Exploration]

That's the entrance to the tunnel in the old builders centre yard ?

Lovely video, I remember having to run up the steps at 4:10 to get over the hill to Dover Priory every time i missed the bus from Dover Grammar Boys!

[@marcellekemp4012]

What a fantastic video! I lived in Devonshire Road during the seventies, from birth to the age of eleven. We endured years of 'strange goings on' in our house. Wondering if any one else experienced similar spooky experiences in the street?

I can remember the man in the suit,Mr Woods the Astor school caretaker.I lived in Tower Hill in the Hamlets.

Late to this video, but it brought back some memories. I used to go to the Grammar school, and can remember all the work that went on next to our school to build an extension for Astor school. Also makes me smile to see that main road without all the speed humps that are there now.

I went there too, from Aylesham on the train and walked up from the Priory. The fella in the corner shop used to break open packets of fags and sell them to us for 5p each. Even though it wasn't regarded an affluent area by Dover standards , from the perspective of our council estate mining town I thought that people living there were doing well in life. Funny how you get those notions as a youngster. Thanks to whoever posted this.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

I lived there 1978

Sublime

[@kellyedey5952]

Tragic what our governments has done to us.

[@greggrimer1428]

British also did it to ourselves. Should have had more children and voted for better politicians.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

WRONG! You voted for a government, if they do not perform as you want them too then you need take action. Brits point of view........its always another to blame.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

​@@greggrimer1428At least you got some sense.

[@februaryninth3304]

I miss this England, the 70s England where I was born, my neighbour was my friend, the whole street spoke English, and we never dreamed that filth and crime would immigrate into our culture, now we have meth addicts (that cannot even speak English) living next door entirely on benefits, Yes i miss this England ,, what I would give to get it back too.

[@greggrimer1428]

I had 7 children. That is what I gave. Most native Brits are too selfish to have 3,

[@Uki-17]

Who is that complacent woman with the books?

[@Khayyam-vg9fw]

When Dover was still Dover and England was still England.

[@mrrumpledumple2132]

Khayyam1048 it is still england? London is the only place that is no longer england. England was always poor and broke there’s no such thing as broke in britian but now, now that the rich have moved in it no longer feels like britian and they made my area Peckham all posh and neeky get them out
