You don't realise how much it's changed until you see something like this, excellent piece of archive footage, Sunday I'm guessing? Quiet roads shops shut and st augustines car park full .
Yes it was Broxbourne at the start but the the outdoor swimming pool near St Cross School was known as Hoddesdon Swimming Pool. Broxbourne got it's own "Lido" with wave making machine down by the river near the Brox Rowing Club and The Crown pub. That also is now flat as a pancake! Obviously some Brox Councilors had bad swimming experiences! The only outdoor lido survivng is in Ware by the priory which is a real shame.
Thanks for your comment. I believe it was filmed on a Sunday. I shot the footage for a friend who had moved overseas. If you search the many videos I have uploaded to TH-cam you will find other local local interest stuff I have added from my old VHS video tapes and later stuff.
@@sean6992 Are you talking about the one on top of Morrison's? Because that one has been there since the original shopping centre was built in the 60s. It was first used as accommodation for the manager's and workers from the shops then over the years they were sold of to private buyers.

There's a giant apartment tower thingy in Hoddesdon now, it's so cool
Sadly we moved out of hoddesdon a couple of years ago it’s changed I’m afraid
Hoddesdon is still going great nothing substantial happend
Those opening scenes are Broxbourne not Hoddesdon.The lido seen from2,00 to 2.30 is alas no more and has been flattened
OK then. Around Hoddesdon and a bit of Broxbourne!
Wow this is cool
Oh my gosh it's completely changed!!
Amelia Wilson for the better or worse?
@@DAVEHEWITTORGUK I'd say for the better as it was very scruffy back in the 90s.
@@areyouserious3092 you know that giant flat there near Morrison, that wasn't there
