Very nostalgic that, you even had an old Moris Minor from 1967 there, yes, the good old days with lots of corner shops, and highstreets were full of useful shops and not overpriced restaurants and coffee bars where you pay more to cover their rent and council tax rather than the food you get. Schools had a smoking/study room for the older boys and behind the bike sheds for the younger ones and you could scrounge a fag of the house master if short. Boys carried knives and bangers and stink bombs in their pockets just for fun. You could smoke on buses and trains and have a beer without getting harassed and none of today’s overcrowding and drive at snail’s pace stuff and people looked left and right before crossing the road not at their phones which all carry in their hands today with overpriced coffee in other first thing in morning. And all this dystopia in just a mere 76 years. I feel out of time out of place. Enjoyed you walk through bygone times. But at least the fresh outdoors away from the towns and cities still looks more or less the same.
lovely video especially as I lived in Balston Rd just off the view point. So many memories. I was in Faraday house at Kemp Welch good times at that school as well.
Interesting, my brother lived in Balston Road 😀 Yes, Faraday was the one I couldn't remember 🤣 My latest video (Little Langdale) is a walk I was going to suggest for you to do btw 😀
Thank you I enjoyed your walk a lot of memory’s for me having moved away from Parkstone my old homes with my 1st wife being Albert Road, Runton Road and Berkeley Ave where Mr Head then John Head delivered our bread. My wife’s farther cousin was Margaret Scutt the book she wrote was Corpse Path Cottage.
Ah, thank you 😀 Since I went out on the van with John Head, I wonder if I delivered your bread with him 😀 Interesting that you had connections with Margaret Scutt who I knew at Sylvan Road School 😀
I've only got half way through and what a blast from the past for me. My dad got thrown out of the SeaView on many occasions and they had a half crown stuck to the pavement just as you went in the door of the pub, which was very amusing.I wonder if you went to Branksome Heath/ Sylvan Road Schools? Many a jumble sale at Woodlands hall. Do you remember Cranbrook Road before they levelled the dip out a bit? I went arse over t*t at the bottom on my brother's fixed wheel bike and hit the wall, ending up in someone's garden, I was trying to do a sharp left into Grove Road where I lived.. I will have to watch the rest later. Thanks for the memories
Thank you 😀 Yes, I went to both schools - they feature later in my video 😀 And yes, I remember Cranbrook Road well. Lovely to hear your memories of the area 😀
I really enjoyed your video Terry. I was in the same class as you at Kemp-Welch and remember you as a pretty good footballer. My Granddad used to live in Cranbrook Rd so I remember the area well. Incidentally my dad's first job was also as a paperboy at the same newsagent. Keep up the good work.
Great little vid . I was born a few years after you and a few roads away in 1955. Glencoe Road , off the Albert Road . A few things I remember while watching your film. We called it viewpoint, and there was a slide and swings just outside of were the water tower was. Just before you reached your old road , behind you was the old police station, now converted into flats. When you got to your grandparents house and mentioned the school on the hill, that was my school, Heatherlands, or as we called it , Colditz ! We had a shop on ever corner as well, and in the mid 60s rode a delivery bike for Miss Hall , Grocer, from Albert Road ! You remember the electric pull along milk floats , well, one of my Dads,( Long Story !) a Leslie Stockley used to operate one from the Co Op on Ashley Road, by St John’s . He probably delivered in your road ! Keep up the good work Alan
Hi Terry. Interesting to see where you grew up. Glad some of the places are still there. Our old school was knocked down and replaced by a housing estate... not sure where the kids who live there go to school now! When we went back all that we could recognize was a big tree we used to hang out by during breaks... the rest had all gone! But as you said, its nice to visit the past, but we can't live in it. It's good to make the most of what we still have now! 🙂
Thank you 😀 That walk is one I do from time to time as I like to reminisce and also my children are interested in my past (and partly there's of course) 😀
Such walks are always a little bittersweet. I know we should embrace change but some changes are a loss in my humble opinion. Lovely nostalgic video thank you Terry, I do the same sometimes.
That was interesting as I grew up in Binden close and my dads name was Brian George, my mums maiden name was Diggle and she went to Kemp Welsh school too
Good film of area I walk my dog Alfie. I live in the old Jelly's post office on the corner of Churchill rd and Victoria crescent, it has never been a chip shop, that was located on the corner of Churchill rd and Lucas rd,
Seem To remember that an old friend of mine Julian Yelling used to run Seaview Tyres not sure if he was the boss in your days shopping for tyres there ?
Really enjoyed that - so nostalgic revisiting old childhood haunts isn't it. We lived on the other side of Parkstone on the way to Wallisdown and indeed fairly close to Kemp Welch School - the couple who lived next door to us were both teachers there.
@@terryyarrow1230 My memory is a bit hazy, but I think Mrs Hill taught shorthand and typing, so I doubt if she would have taught you! However, you might have known Mr Hill as I seem to remember he taught something like craft/design/technology, but don't quote me on that as they say. Sadly they are both long gone.
Just brilliant I was born in 1941 i probably met you in my younger days when i frequently visited my Aunty Betty and cousin Barry who sadly passed away a few years ago
Ah, thanks Eric 😀 Really interesting to hear from you. Barry was one of my group of friends and Betty was always known as Aunty Betty to us kids. I used to go down there to watch Children's Hour because we didn't have a TV. I seem to remember that Barry went to university and became a scientist of some sort? Jack lived there as well - he was friendly with my brother John I think as they had a mutual love for railways, particularly The Swanage Railway 😀 Sorry to hear Barry passed away! Terry
Should have added if you visit Corfe Castle railway station Dad has a plaque on one of the bench seats and if you look towards the castle his Ashes are scattered just before the signal
@@EricJellett A lot of my childhood friends seem to have moved abroad. Had we had the internet then, I guess we would have kept in touch but as it is, I lost contact with most.
Good job there were no courting couples on the hill while you were walking around with the camera Terry 🧙♂🥸😯, black eyes may have resulted methinks!! When I first met my ex-partner, she lived just off of Richmond Road, the posh side of Ashley Road 😆so I know the area reasonably well, but I must admit we probably never ventured down any of the roads you wandered around. Or visited the Constitution Hill car park 🤣. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, you have a very natural, relaxed way of talking to camera, which is always an interesting listen. Did you get the "onion Johnnies" around your area? The first time I saw one in Poole it was explained to me that they would come over from Cherbourg on the Barfleur with their bicycle and sell their wares for the day around the town. We never had anything like that in my area. Bev.
lol, that's a good point about the courting couples 🤣 Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad I come across naturally because I don't think I did when I first started filming which is why I never pursued it till this year 😀 Re the onion johnnies, I knew most of them because I worked at a bank in Poole at one time and they used to come into the bank 😀 Terry
ah I see, the Consti made you the Rambler 😉very nice walk
lol, kind of I guess 😀
It's always good to go back to your roots and remember happy times. They made you the man you are today.
Thanks Tim - Yes, definitely agree with that 😀
Lovely to watch round the streets. Thank you
Thanks Catherine 😀

I reckon we must have been at school at the same time as I am the Same age as you to the month and went to both schools.
@@dafadowndilly8919 That's very likely by the sound of it - can't remember my dates but I would have started at Sylvan Road September 1953 I think.

Thanks so much Alan 😀 Some lovely memories there. I can't remember where our milk came from - maybe Malmesbury and Parsons 🤔

Thanks so much Andrew 😀

Ah, thank you 😀 Yes, some changes are good but definitely not all.
That was interesting as I grew up in Binden close and my dads name was Brian George, my mums maiden name was Diggle and she went to Kemp Welsh school too
Thank you 😀 Wonder if there was a connection between our George's 🤔
Loved watching this one. Treasured memories.
Ah, thanks Paul ❤️
Enjoyable leisurely stroll, down your own personal memory lane, re-connecting and sharing stories of your past youth.
Thanks Gary 😀
Terry, not your usual walk but I thoroughly enjoyed this walk. Keep up the good work
