See the guy near the end of this video sitting on the fence .. he's from this time transported back to that time sitting there admiring ALL the old classic vehicles as they pass by him :-D lol
the roundabout is Charlie Brown's. The free flowing traffic shown initially is moving in Gants Hill/ ilford direction. This is not Hermon Hill, The tower blocks shown are halls of residence for the university. The houses shown were demolished, as was Mill Garage (on the roundabout) and Ted's Transport Cafe, to allow construction of the M11
Yes this is the Charlie Brown roundabout. The shots at around 4:25 are the Chigwell Road and the Broadmead estate can be seen on the skyline in the background. The river Roding runs through this area.

In my former life I was part of the crew that set out the M11 pylons here with a theodolite.
Thank you for this-very interesting indeed!!
