Reminds me of The Kinks song.... m.th-cam.com/video/OOIjcUwiuso/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUWa25vY2tlZCBkb3duIHRoZSBwYWxseQ%3D%3D

Need to find out what your change in direction was...

My elder sister went to Finnemore Rd School

I was born in Dagenham in 1958…..my Dad started making Cine films in 1962. I still have them and it’s amazing to see how things have changed.

Wow.... Respect. I was born in Ilford but went to Bishop Ward school from 1979 - 1985.

That's how I remember dagenham. My grand parents lived on neasham road opposite the library . I think it's some sort of doctors now tho

Emergency ward10 that takes me back love ❤️ your video

T

You'ed cry to walk if you went around there now.

How lovely to read about Wykeham green had forgotten about that we lived in Clementhorpe Road our house had a little green in front where we used to play I went to Dawson junior school and then onto Bifrons secondary in 76 now and we moved to the West Country when we got married in 1967 went back to visit a few times but so sad to see what it’s like now so good to read everyone’s comments 💋 xx

We lived in a Banjo in Rugby Road

Thank you so much Brian for this little gem of a video. As a former Dagenham boy myself I can’t believe I’ve only just found it. I am a little younger than you but I am familiar with many of the references from film and music. The commentary on your early life was hilarious. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.

I was half expecting my uncle Alf (Bigden) to be in that as I know he also played for Jack at some point. Good to see the old area. Sadly, my other uncle was the video man and he had tons of video of me and my family which has got passed on and maybe doesn't even exist now which is a real shame. He's gone now as are his siblings and for reasons I will never know, I'm not on speaking terms with his kids so, that's that. Families eh? Loved the film, must have been good fun to make.

I was born in Barking Hospital in 1950. My grandparents lived in Upney Lane. Unfortunately neither Dagenham or Barking are as nice as they were.

Great post this, cheers!

What brilliant memories. That would have been my dream job too

This beautiful! Im a orignally a Corringham boy! Born 1986 in Colchester move to Corringham in 1989 went to Herd Lane infant and junior School. Respect you Sir!

This is a great video. I lived in hedgemans Road with my nan and grandad Peggy and Frank from 1982 to 1995

Thanks so much for the video, really enjoyed it!

Great video... Thanks.

Interesting video

Dagenham has changed 4 the worst, is there a solution..... when rush green hospital went, that was nail in coffin, all those yellow fields down great cullings where houses are now, such a shame.

My man and grandad lived down water beach house next to alley that you cut threw to get to clemenenthorpe I remember when mayesbrook got knocked down was a teenagers paradise 😂 spent my child years over Wykeham green climbing big willow and little willow there not gone now and council have filled green with shrubs that look posh

Dagenham used to be great. Born there. Would not go back. Not a place I'd bring up a family. Shame. Even eastbrook school. Gone.

When was this in

Amazing video Brian. The way you put it together, brilliant ! I'm 77 , been living here in Cornwall since 1982. But such memories of my life back in Dagenham. I moved to Cornwall for a better life Brian, and it has been a good life. But since I've hit my 70's my memory goes back more and more to my Essex days. But of course you can't go back, but it does remain in your head, happy times,

That was very interesting. Thanks for posting it. Are you going to make a second video, starting where this one leaves off?

Great vid - Id love to spend an hour with you over a beer- I lived just off Cannington road in Rowney Road- went to the new build school, was born at Upney and did what “”Dagenites “ do for the first 20 years of my life Here’s to you!

I live in Dagenham and found this film very interesting. I still think it a great pace to live although much more racially mixed.

my nan and grandad was from dagenham , they lived in Beverly road 83 i think (with their 6 kids , my auntie and uncle lived the top end of hedge mans road near the shops , I was also attended godmans school in 1987 for a year.

This is superb.

Very well presented video. I certainly appreciate the Christmas singalong to Jack White's band!

i miss not knowing everyone it was a good place to grow up in even though i would never to school

Lovely film. Thanks for sharing with us.

I live in Dagenham :D

I too lived on Lullington Rd. 1944 - 1964. We lived at 73 nearer the Hedgsmans Rd end. Went back in 2011 and was horrified at how all the neatly tended front gardens had been concreted over to accomodate cars. Alslo went to Finneymore infants and juniors. Then on to Goresbrook which has now been demolished

great memories my grandparents lived in ilchester road i also went to godwin school and also i lived in ingrave house castle green then onto sheldon road

Nice memory

They have built a new housing estate where a lot of the hospital used to be.

Fascinating to see Rainham Road South as it was then, thankyou so much.

Well put together and very enjoyable!

Jo Richardson is still a school, it relocated to castle green down gale street, near becontree station, it is massive now!!
