The picture of the White Swan brought back memories; glad to see it's still trading.

Good to see the station isn't one of those hideous plastic looking things that have happened to a lot of Victorian stations. I come from Woking (modernized Victorian station there) originally but lived in Aylesbury from about 9-14. Used the station twice in that time, once to go back to Woking and once when i was running away from boarding school outside Towecester, happy days 😄. After a while i was allowed to make the journey from school to Aylesbury but bus from Milton Keynes to Aylesbury was cheaper and quicker.

Aylesbury town centre today is awful. Full bookies. Charity shops. Vape shops. Pound shops. Low quality ethic shops. Anything decent is long long gone. Total s..t hole

I heard that accent only last year. Still in use by the older farming community. Wonderful ❤

I was born in no 1 coronation villas. My grand parents were mr and mrs sletcher.

What a lovely set of old long gone photos, some changes are inevitable some good and some well ? Sign of the times the opening shot of the market square with the soldiers from WW1 and after 2021 with one of the old shops now “Bet Fred” !!

Incredible how little the Walton Road scene changed, given how unrecognisable almost everywhere else is.

❤❤❤❤

This was so interesting and lovely to hear that old Aylesbury’s accent which has changed so much over the years.

The Walton Road pond is bout the only area that still looks roughly the same. I been a resident of Aylesbury since 1977 (aged 12) when my parents moved here. Lots of changes since then and i dont think its been for the better!

i was born at horse and jockey

I remember the remembrance services of the 50s and 60s with Canon Byard intoning in his distinctive style, and the frozen pavements draining the heat out my feet. I am surprised to see so many leaves still on the trees, and stones on the market square shiny wet.

It’s a bit strange to watch for me. I know all these places, but I wouldn’t be born for 7 years plus a few days following this video, so it is ever so slightly different to how I know it, even in my earliest proper memories. It’s a bit like watching videos of close friends you met later in life from before you knew them. Makes me want to take videos of places like this so in 50 years time I can see what everything was like and show my kids.

I live in alsbury

The Rockwood in the sixties was an Irish Paddy pub . Always trouble .

Walton pond . The Aylesbury cycling club used to meet there for their Sunday club run .

The sixties . Those were the days in Aylesbury . A boozer on every corner .

Great video from above. I spent many of my childhood hours in those fields exploring the ruins etc. There was a pig farm along the Bicester road where I used to help feed the pigs - mostly swill from the schools. My dad used to fish in the Thame, all around there and further up...

My membership card was No.42. I saw many bands at Walton Road before it moved to the Borough Assembly Rooms, the old Grosvenor. I left Aylesbury in 72 with fond memories of mixed patchouli oil and weed, and oil and water visuals all over the walls and ceilings.

Im sure that the Oddfellows was open a lot longer, up until the 90's.

I was 9 back the. How time flies hey. Looked so much better bck in the say tbh

Karl, thank you so much for this video. I was born in Aylesbury in 1960 and can relate to many of the photos and recognise areas of Aylesbury that have changed. I moved to Weston Turville about 30 years ago and met my new neighbour George. He was a Bucks boy and his tone of voice and dialect was so similar to Bobs.

Very interesting video thanks

fantastic....I love seing "before and after"...thank for the sharing.

Great video. What is the music? Love that too.

Aylesbury, a town devastated by development, primarily the local councils fault. It was the end when the council offices carbuncle was built, and the final deathnel when the cattle market disappeared.

Mostly changed for the worse regrettably.

My first time but it was fun!

I'd like to study the photos in more detail as the shots moved too fast. Have they been published in a book?

Glad to see this up here! This was my third time being in this parade. Always enjoy it!

Thanks for this - I was there, wedged into a corner by Chancellors so got a better view of it!

A then and now video would be ace..

I remember the Teddy boys and their drapes and then came the Mods . So many boozers to choose from , but sadly all gone . RIP .

Does anyone remember the Crow 's Nest Tring Hill ?

FFS . I bought my first suit at Burtons , Market Square .

When the boozer was the boozer ! I remember the the Duck and all the horny teens .

amazing footage - thanks

great vids, but sad to see how much Aylesbury has degraded on many levels...

Hi, Tankard could be a prize from an event at Aylesbury Sailing Club - based at Weston Turville reservoir....................

I had a small operation in the Royal Bucks, just in for a couple of days, 1957 I think.

The large house on the left with a white surround to the front door was a childrens' home in 50's/60's. And I remember when I once visited a school chum there, the lady warden had two very large dogs - that was for protection though I didn't know that at the time.

I lived in Stoke Mandeville village I can remember mum saying under the table boy there is a dodobug going over poit we come as it passed over us and we heard bang as it went off it was about 4pm dad told us it took the building down were live house office now my dad was in Air force so they went up there so some of bob talk is made up

At 9:56 the name Plested. There was an ice cream chap called Plested who ran around in a motorcycle and side-car, stopping to sell ice cream cones in the 50's

At 1:25 building with the white door frame on the right used to be a Dr. Barnardo's home.

Worked in the kitchen of the Kings Head in 1961/2 during training as a chef. Was in the Dark Lantern in the 60's, as a customer I hasten to add! Enjoyed the hospitality of the Bell Hotel, Market Square. Visited the Green Man, and the Millwright Arms was my local.

Couldn't help but notice all the big 'H' aerials, for the old '405 line' VHF TV signals..! 😊

I used to go to school where pebble brook school is now .You should do a now and then of around southcorut then and now aswell

I loved growing up in Aylesbury in the late 70's through until about 1996. After that it all went to complete crap. There's no heart in this town at all anymore. Maybe that's everywhere, maybe that's just the fact that people are selfish, self absorbed narcissists now but what I know for sure is that this town's heart died nearly 3 decades ago and the attitudes of it's people sucks now. It's a horrible place to live and work, truly horrible

Please tell me the music attached. It is valuable

A lot of great memories there. Oh to be young and back in 1976 again.
