Thank you whoever you are. Windsor is where my Mother grew up along with her siblings, where my parents met for the first time and where I was educated.
I worked in Windsor for three years (early 90s) building Victoria Barracks. I loved the place, as it was so different from my sleepy hometown in Norfolk. I would drink in the Trooper and had many good times there. i made a lot of friends, who welcomed a young man far from home
Love this video !!! Can't believe that only 500 people have seen it in over 18 months. I have shared it in the Windsor forum on FB. Lovely record of the past.
And I see that they are still watching it this afternoon. There will be more coming your way. Anyway, you are most welcome. A pleasure and a privilege to even have had the chance to share a video as wonderful as this. And I am not even a Windsorian !!! Live long, and prosper :)
Ruined Windsor,the demise was foot trafic only down peascod street,and the castle hill car ban,all downhill thereafter,what a shame,just a tourist dump now in 2022.Born in Windsor,Royal Free school pupil in the 70's .
@@eh6454 I was there till 1977 just before it was merged with PMRS .Digga Davis,Jock,Gardener,Basto,Hinchcliffe,Mahoney,Down,Harison,Mort,Car,Ben Gunner,to name a few. Finney was the head teacher when i was there.
The film makes some interesting points. I think the criticism of Ward Royal remains totally valid. But, with hindsight, I don't believe the council can be blamed for the 'gentrification' of the town, which would've happened anyway. It was their job to manage it & in so doing they made some mistakes; demolishing an ancient coaching inn like the Falcon was a big one, if they wanted to protect a historic town. Interesting film, though. The music was all composed by one of its creators, which is impressive in itself.
Windsor has been ruined. Tbh, we very rarely go into town centre now, weeks go by and not one visit. I could even walk in, but dedworth tesco, m/head etc, and places that have some shops and amenities are the places where you see windsor ppl now. Good film tho.. i remember going with mum in international.
Proud to be a old Windsorian, this is a fantastic video, brings back amazing memories thanks to whoever

Having lived in Windsor since 1982 before I moved to the USA in 2010 this is really interesting. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your kind comment. Thanks too for publicising the video - the number of views has more than doubled in the past few days!

Excellent critique of a town destroyed by planners.

Come and have a look at the new parts today. Dont think you will be impressed.
