The timelessness of it strikes me. 50 years ago walking that same High Street with my Nan and Grandad. They’ve been gone near enough 40 years, but still Tonbridge is there, and will be long after I’m gone. We are but specks…
Great video, it brings back memories of when I lived in Tonbridge 1982-87 and it's lovely to see the river and the castle again. At the very end, the playing fields look a bit flooded and you can see the indoor swimming pool, which used to be open air when I was a kid- the water was always freezing cold, even on the hottest summer day. Also, I am fairly sure that 'The Pavilion' at 2:12 used to be called 'Angel Walk' leading to the 'Angel Centre' at the back. It had a large tropical fish tank in the middle full of angel fish and other tropical water fish.
@@4KExplorer I was at school at the time, the fashions were crazy for most of the 80s; deeley boppers, luminous socks, double stone-wash denim, tail/mullet haircuts and later it was the Miami Vice look. So cool!
What a beautiful town! i bet the crime rate here is nonexistent :) I need to go here someday to get a tour of that spectaular castle and hopefully go for a swim in the crystal clear river water

Ah, nice! I'd have loved to have seen Tonbridge in the '80s!

Hey, thanks!
Time to climb the castle walls. What a view!
Nice video, with what camera do you record?
Cheers! It's a Sony FDR-AX700.
@@4KExplorer it has an awesome quality. Is it 4k 60 fps or more?
@@Tratur It's 4K, but the frame rate's about 30. Which seems fine as long as I don't pan too quickly.
@@4KExplorer awesome, keep it up Friend!
How lovely is Tonbridge.
Very nice!

I live in Tonbridge have done for the last 27 years. The town has changed but not for the better. All flats now and lots of anti-social behaviour.
@@DD-tu2hq agreed

Nice cityscape.
Beautiful area! -Ali 😍🍷
Thanks for watching!
