This was lovely to see, I remember the Woolwich in the video like it was yesterday - filled with nostalgia
Woolwich was the best town in London in 50s-80s. We had everything - thriving shops, good schools and safe streets, woodlands and open spaces. good transport ,4 swimming pools, employment for all etc. Shame.
thank immigration for that
Brilliant! Weird to see a time when traffic was allowed through the market. Been pedestrianised since around 1984 I think
I remember this like it was yesterday, went to school at Woolwich Poly
That's just what I was thinking, never known Woolwich like that!
It totally blew my mind. For someone who lived in Woolwich from 2011 to 2017. I thought the market was always meant for pedestrians.
Interesting video. Nice to hear fruit being sold by the pound
As a schoolboy, I used to train and box in the Woolwich arsenal in the1950s. To Beresford market for my shellfish, and over to Menzies for my pie, mash, and liquor. Took No 53 bus from Charlton Village to Bloomfield school. Saw the last of the trams, and Vera Lynn at the ' flea pit '.Those were the good old days! Like Lewisham, it was a great place.
I live in Bloomfield School now converted to flats about 12 years ago
@@kdwskdws Thanks for this Agent K, It was a great school. My mate Ken Pierce won the All England schoolboy boxing title of best boxer at Brighton. I got as far as the London finals and left in 1960
I went to Bloomfield, late 60's (69) to 73
@@rambr0vids Those were the best days for me. :)
Great video.☺️ I think I watched this video a few months ago or a few years ago.☺️
Woolwich has gone down hill a lot since this video was made. The market is far less busy and despite new developments the town centre is a dump. Gone are Marks and Spencers, Burtons and Woolworths. I first went to Woolwich in 1987 and it was a much livelier town then with great night life and nightclubs. Now it is like a ghost town. The specials song "Ghost town" would be a fitting song about Woolwich of today.
Oh yes
It blows my mind there used to be a road going through Powis Street, but to be fair now I know why it’s called a street lol
Woolwich hightstreet looks a lot different now. It's more modern. Druggies everywhere laying in the main square, gangs of migrants, and a depressing atmosphere. Nothing like when I was growing up here. Everyone was friendly and now it's a sh*thole.
@Peter Biosah I don't know, go ask them
@Peter Biosah Nope. I moved away.
Social and ethnic cleansing my friend
A little bit of an overstatement and lots of hyperbole. But nearly there.
Worked on dolly desley fish stool in Woolwich market back in the 70s thriving market then now just a few stalls walk down Powis street spot the English man joke
Woolwich was such a nice town in those days, now it’s a complete shit hole
Now I wouldn’t walk around woolwich even if you payed me!
It is kind of okay in the daytime. That is all I can say.
BLIMEY THIS IS BORING, AND ONLY FOR LOCALS TO CRY OVER THEIR LOSS, I GUESS.
Really nice to see the old cars and the old road layout.
I just missed these time as only started working in the Woolwich area in 1985.
