Grew up in and around Aldershot 80 years ago. Not returned in nearly 40. Interesting to see how it has been ruined, I saw only one shop still trading that was there when I was a kid. Rather more historical inaccuracies than I would like and far too many omissions.
Interesting insight into a town I knew nothing about.😁👍 Probably a good idea moving Wellington's statue. While it's new location is less glamorous, the view from a distance wouldn't be visible in central London. Seen from a short distance away, the sheer size of that horse is pretty impressive.
Letting the Gurkhas stay here hasn't done Aldershot and favours and has given the town into a bit of a ghetto feel a out it. It's also sad to see how many pubs that have closed for good.
Without the Gurkhas, Aldershot Town would have declined like many other towns across the country. Whether people like it or not, the Gurkha community has significantly invested in the town, opened businesses, and revitalized its economy.
The Gurkha's are from Nepal not from India
yeah, and I'm from aldershot since 1958, not Nepal.
In regards to the comments of no significant market place is in-correct as there was a fantastic market, through the arch from Victoria Rd 👍
Many many happy hours spent playing as a child around the Duke of Wellington Statue. Great memories, thanks.
I was waiting for the Beatles Fact about playing to a crowd of 18 people
I was there for few weeks lot of Nepali people in this area due to the queens gorkha Regiment recruit I guess
No one calls it "Little Catmandu". It's "Nepaldershot!"
