Thank you so much for sharing this video. I lived in Rickmansworth, as a child, at this very time and this video has brought back so many wonderful memories. At the time we lived in Loudwater from 1962 to 1965, then moving to Chalfont for three years, finally returning to Croxley Green in 1968 for three years, before moving to London. I was frequently in the town with my parents and I remember the winter of 63. I so wish I could turn the clock back to what was a very happy time. It's brought me a lot of joy seeing the shops, buildings, Swan Hotel, vehicles and other such familiar sights and it's rekindled personal memories of events and daily things we did and experienced. Thank you!
My sister and I were fortunate to visit the museum a few weeks ago. My grandfather and great grandfather used to work for the council based where the museum is now located. Following my mum's death this year, we retraced her home in Chorleywood and her wedding reception at The Swan Hotel in 1959. The museum were generous in their time and allowing us to peruse the archives. We donated some of my grandfather's drawings and information about Moor Park. It was wonderful and helped us connect with mum in a special way.
WoW! Just came across this. I grew up in Ricky and well remember the winter of 1963. Moved to Australia in 1974, been back to Ricky many times - but what a _great_ flashback to those times. Thanks for keeping and posting this footage - and for the fine edit.
I was born and brought up in Rickmansworth through the 50's and moved to Somerset in '76 and then to Australia in 1985. Thank you so much for posting this video it has brought back so many memories for both my wife and I. I worked at Mick's Fruiterers in the video after school and on Saturdays. Great times.
My older cousin worked at Frankins soft drinks factory at the end of the high street. She used to bring home staff price samples, Cola, lemonade, cherryade, etc

Why hasn't Mick got an apostrophe in his name in his fruiterers shop sign? ... Tut, tut! And people usually say on these films that everybody is thin, and there are no "foreigners" or mobile phones!

I was going to Ricky Grammar at that time. I remember the winter snow.
Anyone remember Roy & Margaret Hurst? I wonder if the Hurst family are still in the area?

I'd much rather have the Premier Supermarket of 1962 there now than that dreadful Brexiteer-owned pub.
