I moved out of Rayners Lane in 1984. Thank god I did. It’s turned from a leafy suburb I loved growing up in. Parks galore to explore. Now it’s knife crime, urban decay and resembles inner city London.Lovely to see progress in action!!! So sad 😞
I grew up in Harrow. I went to Gayton School. It’s full of drugs and crime now but the video is nice to watch in 2021 from my house in Spain 🇪🇸
Although it’s kinda dangerous and dirty today.. I miss my little harrow! Grew up in hatch end one of the few parts of Harrow that isn’t dangerous and a dump❤️
I’ll be back one day my little friend
Well, what happened to Harrow town centre, it used to be a nice shopping are. I was born in Harrow in 1952 and lived there with my mum and dad until I was 14, when my father had to move to the Staffordshire moorlands with his job. I remember Sopers being the main Store in Harrow and going to the Granada picture house, but what I've seen of it now I dont like. Harrow in the hill still looks the same as does spinner and some places in Stanmore, my mums parents lived in wealstone where mum was born. None of my relatives live in Harrow anymore, they felt threatened and did not like what harrow had become and the people moving in there, so most of the now live on the south coast. What a shame for the lovely old town .
I too was born in Harrow in 1952 and lived in Gayton Court and latterly Ashburnham Avenue until I was 17 when I moved away with my Mother and her partner to Gloucestershire. I attended Quainton Hall School in Hindes Road. I went back in 2017 to see my old home town. It was a shocking and saddening experience. Yes, Harrow on the Hill, Harrow school and St Mary's church are still much as they were but I was sad to see that the King's Head Hotel was closed and is now flats. I wonder if the town Planners and Councillors are satisfied with their "work" and the state of their town...the dreadful high-rise developments, the distopian urban decay feeling of much of the town centre. I wonder if they could somehow see it as it was in the 1950s and 60s even into the early 70s, a pleasant safe, clean and well-kept town, a nice leafy London suburb with well-kept houses, with a plethora of interesting individual shops and businesses and a population of mostly well-behaved, polite good-citizens, would they think that they've done a good job in "improving" their town. Surely they wouldn't,....would they? I think they would be as horrified as I was on my visit three years ago. I shall never go back and look again. RIP Harrow.

Over populated and huge increase in vehicles over 30 years
Tell me your racist without telling you're not a racist
So much culture. This is why I love Harrow.
Don't upset the far right guys in the comment sections.
I would say this was made in the Mid 90's :-)
It looks like there were some extra scenes added from different times some from 1994 to 1998 and then some from 2003.
Near the end the narrator refers to the 1996/7 financial year as the most recent figures available, so I guess the film was put together in around 1998.
Harrow lost its charm in the 2000s for me. Today it's a absolute dump, beer cans and open rubbish bags litter the streets, not to mention ppl think it's OK to dump broken washing machines and kids toys causally on streets. Rude ppl and no community anymore.
The fly tipping on the street is awful. So many people think that a tree is somewhere to dump your rubbish.
@@nowaylon2008 I agree it's shameful, RIP Harrow. Lovely growing up in the 80s and 90s. Not the same.
1998, 21 Years later it’s a dump
lol i live here and it isnt that bad
@@inesmatine9722 Yes it is.
Hell yes it sure is
@@samhain81 south Harrow is bad and so is rayners lane horrible areas to go past
Harrow used to be amazing not anymore I dear say !
My Granddad, Harry Moore, started the first motor Taxi service at Harrow on the Hill Station in the early 1900's.
The engine on his Taxi used to frighten the horses of the Hansom Cabs and other Taxi coaches, Chariots etc. that were mostly used in those days. Eventually the Council put in a road with a turning area at the bottom of the station steps for his sole use. Horses on the Lowlands Road side of the Station and Harry in solitary splendor in his Taxicab on the other.side. And that was the main Cab rank for many years.
The good old days.
What a shame it is not like that now 2022 October 8
Its a dump now😲😲😲
This albeit nice and twee really should update. and show the true Harrow today.
But it's not meant to be showing now. This is more 70's.
Robert Black 70’s ? I swear it’s 2003
@@Sweetpagal_ Some of it is before 2003 if not 70's, look at the cars.
I have filmed the Harrow of today (2019), 45 mins on my channel
I hope the good schools nearby can maintain their standards through the years and luckily there are still quite many outstanding schools there . Harrow School could only be in my dream!.
Love that music at the beginning!
I'd be interested to hear how you can get from Harrow to Heathrow in 20 minutes! 01:42
pleaseeeeee me too
Great vintage footage HFM..!!
Can hardly see st Mary's church due to the high rises. Not suited to harrow centre. Such a shame. Remember bannister stadium from school days😁. This is definitely 1990s
Glad I moved!
I had give up when the awfully nice commentary fell into the slough of despond. Obviously a big promo for the local Council, this film avoided anything to do with 'real' people. Oh no we can't have plebs in this nice film about nice people. Great heavens!
I lived in Harrow during the early to mid-1980s variously in Kenton Road (corner of Kenton Avenue), RoxBorough Court on Lowlands Road, near the tube station and ten years before at the top of Preston Road, on the roundabout with Woodcock Hill.
This film has nothing to do the Harrow I remember; back in the day we knew it as two Harrows, Harrow-On-The-Hill where the toffs lived and Norf 'Arra' where the rest of us lived. No mention I notice of the thriving music pub scene which gradually went under the concrete as did Roxborough Court in the big Council purge of the quaint old Harrow we lived in and loved. The centre of the town became a mass of concrete & glass which remained empty for years. By then I'd moved out.
When I go back now to see old mates, it makes me want to weep at the sight of the place.
Oh, and by the way, My old Dad worked down The Hole at 11 Group Fighter Control HQ at RAF Uxbridge which is nowhere near Stanmore - that's where the bosses lived.
Watching this film makes me wonder if I should gurd my loins and make a film of the real Harrow.
I thought it was sarf harra🤣. I grew up in kenton and moved to harrow in 1998 when it was brilliant. Now I still feel safe but it looks like a shite hole with tacky shops. Used to have independent shops now its betting shops, pawnbrokers and tacky bric a brac shops. We only have debenhams and m&s for decent shopping. Glad I work in london or there's watford or uxbridge I suppose
What school did u go to
@@cherrylSkerrittcs cool whtat school did u go to
@@jg0356 Canons high when it was decent
Harrow is still awsome
2018?
Don't know if you cab open this it's a TH-cam film of zharrow in 2003 x
I lived there 1970 to 1992 and visited there after annually. The place suffered and stood still in time from the early 2000s as the population mushroomed as did crime. I wonder what happened? From under resources in sixties and seventies to rejuvenated to dump?
Harrow should be used as a case study about what too much.migration from third world shit holes will do to.an area.
literally what i think as i have lived here from 1993 til present and i have seen the changes.
Over developed Harrow Town Centre with shopping centres and blocking it out light.
Much better in the 1980s before St Ann's shopping centre.
Overcrowded these days and dirty.
This was Harrow. The bus station late 1982.
