I went there once. didn't stay as I couln't find anyone who spoke english.

i lived in Ealing in it`s hay day. We had Bentals, m & s, bhs, Bejams which became iceland, and a variety of little shops, also you weren`t qallowed to jay walk and would be fined for littering. on a Saturday you couldn`t walk on the pavement because Ealing was the place to shop. You couldn`t pay me to live there now. from a sad ex Ealing resident.

Thank you for stirring up beautiful memories 👍👍

I used to go to school in Hounslow in the sixties it was a nice place then, glad i don't live near there anymore looks like a real shite hole shame.

I shall be very happy to see Slough changing. If you visited this little town between 1980 and 2020, you will notice not much had changed and the life looked as sleepy and drudgery as before. Good Luck Slough. Thanks.

Thank you indeed for stirring up some great memories ~

Lucky u didnt get robbed and stabbed

Worked there for 5 years Sheez It’s grim

You could have turned off at Junction 2, then taken Lionel Road North to get to Pope's lane.

The Treaty Centre is built on top of land that included the old Treaty Road, which no longer exists. I remember the beautiful old Treaty Road public library, which was in late Victorian / Edwardian Neogothic style. I think the old town hall was there as well, of similar style. All gone now, and replaced by the soulless monstrosity of the Treaty Centre, which occupies what were several blocks of old buildings.

Lived at raf Uxbridge in early 90s till 2005, can’t believe how much has changed ,makes me sad changed forever not for better

Good video. Unfortunately, my experience in dymchurch did not go as well as expected. There were lots of travellers in which some said racist slurs to my mum and grandparents (and made monkey noises), drug dealers and overall the residents were not so welcoming. They were also unfriendly and scummy. Also there was a p0rn sign in the rides area. I didn’t feel safe there. Sad to say it’s on my ‘scummy seaside towns’ list.

In regard to your question around 6 minutes, as to whether you could once drive through there, the answer is no, at least, not in the 1960s you couldn't. It was built with the mall on one side and a big open area that I remember. Fromn the way you were walking down the mall to start with, the market I mentioned would have been over to the left. You went down to the end of the mall, turned left and walked a way down there to the market. It seemed a long way but I was only a little kid, so it may not have been that far.

I didn't recognise much except the bridge right near the station, until it got to 4:02. I recognise those cement flag stones. They were used in the shopping area of Bracknell. One of the first indoor "malls" was built there. The same coloured pavers can be seen in the shopping centre in Easthampstead. I suppose being a kid, I spent quite a bit of time looking at them and not the shops when we went to Bracknell. There used to be a big open air carpark, which became a market on Saturdays. Occasionally we walked into Bracknell from Easthampstead as we lived close to the Bagshot Road. There used to be an old shop, a general store, along there called The Orchard Stores. It must have also been a delicatessen because I can remember the rich delli smell of the place. I loved it because sometimes Mum would buy us some smarties or a kit kat. Unfortunately, Mum passed away around the time this video was made. I'd have liked to have shown it to her. We left the UK in 1974, and Mum never went back.

The new town building started in the late 1950s and into the early 60s, but it looks like it has continued since then. I was born in one of the estates on the edge of Bracknell (Easthampstead) and we lived there until I was 8, in the 1960s

A great shopping hub years ago, pubs everywhere now……ghost town 😢

Is the fantastic all you can eat Chinese place still there?

Lived a year in Bracknell 2006-7 Seems to have survived better than most my former home towns I've checked in on today.

''Small little town''. great spoken English............................

The state of the pavement.

I lived there until 1983, now its charity shops, barbers and smakheads.

I lived here mid 60's it was a great lively place, this is now a depressing place.

Thanks for this. I'm getting a flat there soon to live permanently & retirement just next to the bridge.

i once drank in the viaduct pub

well no shi, the pedestrian was late in flagging the bus, and the bus was not going to pull over while you were there was here. Now the real question is, why didn't YOU give way to the pedestrian. moving into the bus stop to get around him. You are just as much in the wrong here. Stop giving us riders a bad name.

I 'm from Denmark. I lived in Slough back in the 90s for a few years. I know the whole route that you took. It amazing to see Slough again. It hasn't really changed that much. i noticed The Herschell Arms and Alpha Arms Pubs are still there, Amazing. Thanks for the video.

Shit hole

I used to take my daughter to Bracknell to do a bit of shopping about 20 years ago they used to have a sort of fountain that squirted water up which the kids used to love playing in and a huge sand box in the summer holidays called Bracknell at the beach. It looks to be wll gone now. Fun memories

Feltham was a nice place to live , as with a lot of London it's now ruined .

Wish you had walked just a bit further so I could see the house I was brought up in, 60 years ago. You showed the entrance to what I thought used to be called Jubilee Gardens (the big field). After this, walking south you would pass two side streets and then a pub and shops. There used to be all the old type of shops, haberdashery, chemist, wet fish shop, fish and chip shop, butchers, greengrocer (Jack's), newsagent. Everything my mother needed on her daily shopping trip from number 293 where we lived.

How far is it from London to Slough by train?

2.05 was that a Delorean going passed 😂😂

Loved harvesters restaurant. Browns v posh nice food and service

I would have called 999 and said we need Immagration. See man run 🏃‍♀️

I remember spending a few weeks with my nan in Bracknell, every summer holiday's when i was a kid.

What is the point of this video?

chigwell place - there used to be a record shop there whre i bought my first record, something by david macallum from the man from uncle in 1963ish

No Twickenham green? I used to work in that Sainsburys over there.

I dont think it's a scam. He is well-spoken and hes just asking for help navigating public transport. Im a londoner and i do see it from time to time. Sometimes, they need help with the oyster card system or working out the underground train maps. I always try to help them before i mug them.

Yeah its back the way came

They only do this because mugs keep giving them money for an imaginary bus

I grew up in Hounslow. Don't even recognise it now. Time moves on. Everything changes. Leave it to the next generation...

Just tell them that you can call police for them to come and help them :)

Asking if you speak English in London lol all thanks to Sunak and Khan

Get him a ticket back to bongo bongo land

Should of just pretended not to speak english.

Being a tourist doesn't exclude you from trying to help?

That looks like Hanbury street? In shoreditch/brick lane... in the past known for its history of hustle and bustle, more recently now a known crack spot (at least someones still hustling i guess)

Always have time to understand it costs nothing to be nice

Im a tourist 🤣😂 Got to use that one 👍
