1990s Walthamstow Market, gritty East London - บันเทิง
This takes me back. Who remembers that shop 1st discount , everything £1 blaring out from the speakers.
My grandma has lived their for 30 years. I grew up their but its not the same anymore
hi, why do you say that? what do you say has changed ?
@@afnanmerza1484 blocked all the roads halfway
It has changed a lot. Many stalls went about 10-15 years ago and they have blocked many roads because of the Mini Holland scheme. It makes me wonder how emergency services access those who desperately need it.
@@Zlervo its made it really good for pedestrians and more of a village feel . i really like the quiet roads
I grew up in Ringwood rd during the Eighties and early nineties. Walthamstow is an absolute dump just like all of London. Full of gangs. There's no sense of community anymore. Most of the original Londoners have either passed away or moved to a different area. Most of the pubs have closed. A sign of the times eh?
Brings back memories when I was there every Saturday afternoon in the 1950's!
We used to come to this market every weekend without fail!! Good memories
I remember BHS and the man who drew pictures with chalk out the front all day
I still my picture of me as a kid in 88 hand made drawing of me from that location I remember that chilly afternoon with my Mum
Thanks for uploading, this brings back memories of my childhood as my parents used to take me there in the 90's. thankyou
My mum used to take me to the market too. It's a fun place compared to other London areas
@@Zlervo you mean WAS a nice place. I used to walk up and down there as a teen during the evening with my friends. I wouldn't dream of walking the streets as an adult now. Too many scumbags looking for a victim to mug or attack just for the thrill of it!.
I used to go there in the60s and 70s it was a great market for everything, used to love the pie and mash at Manze was brilliant
Sadly gone now and somebody stole their antique register too.
I remember back in 2000s since I was so little where my mum or my dad went to Walthamstow Market and went inside Selborne Walk Shopping Centre to go shopping. Well things changed now in the present.
A beautiful, bustling market back in the days.
Thanks so much for posting! Have the best childhood memories of Walthamstow market
Was bourn in Walthamstow in 1956 had a Saturday job in the market the broken biscuit stall if any ones old enough to remember I was about 10 years old. Happy memories for me . 😊😊
The old pink American car in the upstairs bit inside the cafe above food giant back Inthe day
Omg I remember it! Being only half a car! What happened to Food Giant? That was a real good supermarket for a child.
Food giant wasn't around long was it?
I remember that.
Just brought me a memory lol
Who remembers Erol's Computers opposite Sainsbury's or Rossi's ice cream parlour close to The Chequers pub remember Wendy Burger? Such good memories growing up in Walthamstow during the 80's and 90's
Yes remember all them old shops. I used to go to Erols every Saturday morning and play Tetris on their GameBoy. Great memories.
Any one have memories of Johnny Harvey lived ontop of a leather coat shop. Passed away sadly back in the days. He was my uncle.
I moved from Walthamstow 7 months ago. The best area I ever lived in.
You have no idea about Walthamstow. Shit now . Used to be best.
@oldschool4606, I've known the area for years, and yes, it has gone downhill like many other districts in London.
I’m born 1988. Remember the Woolworths. Burger King. Wimpy. Chalk man. Balloon man. Lived above Sainsbury’s. Magic.
I got my first ever tape/album at Woolworth's! Also got lost there when I was 4 and they had to announce it over the intercom haha
Very well filmed!
love good old 'Stow
The market when it was the longest market in Europe, today oct 2020 its shrunk to a quarter of its size thanks to the incompetent council.
Who members the wimpy? Woolies kwuik save tandy? The Filipino lady n her husband used to have the toy stall with mad water guns and cap guns the comic stall and the badge stall with all types of badges stich on iron on ect. Ah man best days ever . 2020 dustbin
I remember it well mate. Grew up there. My mother worked in Woolies. I used to frequent in Erols Computers on a Saturday morning and play Tetris on the game gameboy that they had there. I worked briefly in Selbourne Walk at a shop called Hillstreet. I think it's a Claire's Accessories now. Happy times but Walthamstow is a shithole now. Full of gangs and crime like all of London.
Boys of rathbone, house of Holland, temples, bunter cafe, the army suplas shop, I can hear my uncle who has now passed away calling out in this video at the biginning, fruit and veg, I moved out 25 years ago but my family still live in the area, saddens me to visit, we had the biggest market in Europe and the biggest dog track in Europe but they were not of cultural importance to the real londoners !
@@carphunter5042so true mate!. I moved to Durham back in 1995 as a 16 year old and it's the best thing that I did. Walthamstow in my eyes is a completely different places. Nearly all the pubs I knew are no more. Ringwood Castle, Lorne Arms, and Coach and Horse just to name a few!
@@lardy70s my nan live in Albert Rd lol, where the lorn arms was, my dad used to drink in there, it's criminal what has been allowed to happen, our culture is being eroded and replaced, I used to love the dogs and the market, both of cultural importance to walthamstow, sadly gone like everything else including all the family's grew up there. Hold onto the memories of those good times my freind !
@@carphunter5042 Hello again mate. Yes it's such a shame. I have a 16 year old daughter and I'm glad she's far away from London. The place I grew up in is sadly no more. The sense of community spirit is non existent. I remember back in the late 80's early 90's, while my mum worked in Woolworths, every Xmas they would have a work's party in store and she would bring me and my younger brother along. We would take our pocket money with us and rummage around the whole store looking at toys and videos. I'll never forget that in 1990, my mum's manager was a lovely fella called Mr Lawrence. He noticed me looking at a Hornby trainset and asked if I wanted it. I replied Yes but said I couldn't afford it. He said santa might bring it to me as long as I'm good and listen to my mum. That Christmas I got my trainset and my brother got a Nintendo Game boy. Years later as an adult, my mum said that Mr Lawrence actually bought those gifts for us. I actually teared up as I only met this nice man once in my life and he had the heart and passion to do such a lovely thing for me and my brother. You wouldn't get that now in today's society and culture. Which business would have an Xmas do in store where you could bring your family along and be treated so nicely?. RIP to such a wonderful era. Take my friend and look after your family.
Must have been filmed in 1997 as someone mentions the queen's golden wedding anniversary
it has changed so much
I was there. Since then it has seen many changes. We got one who brings his Tiger with him.
i love my bubba all the time
you have right to see jason holder
This takes me back!
It's just like the Basildon Essex/ Dagenham East working class scum except multicultural. Unique but miserable as most of East London.
No mobile in sight......
Im nearby. I began in 1992.
Gardeners for post office and for all the magazines

Grew up there and went to school at South Grove primary school and Kelmscott. Lived in Ringwood rd. My mother still lives there. I had a brief job in Hillstreet, Selbourne Walk. I think it's a Claire's Accessories now. I left in 1995. The Stow's a different place now. Sadly for the wrong reasons.
I went to kelmscott, I left in 1993!
@@jazzbollywood you're 2 years older than me. I left Kelmscott in 1995. Mr Khurshid was my form tutor. Who was your form tutor?
@@lardy70s Mr Wensley
@@jazzbollywood He was a maths teacher just like Mr Khurshid. Do you still live in Walthamstow and do you still keep in touch with anyone from school?
@@jazzbollywood my dad's late friend's daughter might have been in your year.? Her name is Zeenat.
Just trying to find my Nan don’t mind me lol
The market was ropey but sold stuff everybody needed or wanted. Nowadays it’s more like a “bazaar”.
Love 'Stow nowhere elze like it!

What year was this exactly?
I would imagine 1997
East 17🎼🎤
Walthamstow High Street was the centre of my world throughout the 70's and 80's (and some of the 90's). This was my street, my market, my kingdom. I went away over 20 years ago, when it started becoming a junkyard. Popped back last year to check on the place....... Oh what a shit hole it's become because of pussies in "gangs" of little boys looking up to other little boys. You are just making it a fucked up place for the majority of the decent folk who want to live the one life they have in peace.
Is anybody still there from the 70's or 80's?
bruh my endss
I wish London could be back to what it was
@@BoneStar you're just a closet racist aren't you.
Walthamstow was so much better before they decided to start closing every road and turning it into a mini holland
Yeah was better before the gentrification aswell
I've lived in Walthamstow for all my 39 years. I've loved mini holland - it's great to see kids playing in the street and enjoying family time. Parents dropping kids off walking and cycling without dangerous cars around and being able to actually move about the borough quickly on ebikes. Much faster than a car
@@RXP91you obviously don't drive
Bonners fruit n veg.
my whole family knows jason holder is engaged to be married to his big brother
i want you to take jason holder some where propose to him
get the truck ready say jason holder sit in your special seat next to your husband
say jason holder be ready to go when i pull in to your driveway
Tubby ichs sea food
the dhss comment wasn’t kind, i bet she didn’t even realise that was a back handed comment
It's a better, cleaner and more pleasant place now - and you can't say that about many places!
Do you mind me asking how long you have lived in walthamstow?
100% agree, been here 39 years
Unfortunately Walthamstow is now a shithole like all of London. Crime level is at bursting point.
E17
Walthamstow is now a shit area thanks to Waltham Forest council
It's also a shit area due to the shit people that live there.
@@lardy70s true
footage about two thirds through the genocide
What genocide, you mean the one like what happened in Australia!!
@@mdidris4414 no, actual genocide.
The only genocide is the gammony race warrior fucks dying off from old age, after contributing nothing to our country for the last 70 years. Go join them, please.
Great memories , when Walthamstow was decent. Absolute shit hole now due to the incompetent LBWF council
Exactly mate. I went to Kelmscott back in 1990 to 95. Moved to Durham now. My mother still lives down there.
0:49 is really sus
