Thank you for these videos! Does anyone watching these know of Jenny Sturgess and her family (also Tickner family)? She's my mum and was born in Harris Road, 1966 and grew up in Garston/Watford for the majority of her life. If so, contact me! X
@Blenkinsop999 When I was a small boy my brothers and I thought nothing of bathing in the small stream that came straight out of the side of The john Dickinson Mill.....the stream was a sort of greeny dirty brown colour!! Have you any old pics of how John Dickinsons Mill used to look?.......Have you a site for your photos? I dont know of Lemon field........I used to live in Louvain way!
At least we didn’t have food banks and a stripped economy then - even under that particular tory government. Now look at the UK. People managed then, they didn’t go hungry. Nobody had much money (unless a millionaire and they were scarce then), but it was better generally, even though we didn’t have much. My most treasured memories are of the 1980s, even though I love my family just as much now, but the 1980s were a different time, life was so much simpler. Now it’s tough for most people.
@Blenkinsop999 Yes.....Shame about the Clarendon arms!!.......If youre ever out and about in Rousebarn lane /Green lane/Cassiobury park /Whippendell woods /etc etc with your Video camera and you fancy doing some filming.........Yes please!! I was brought up in this area over 50 years ago.....I havent lived near there for years! Thanks for your comment/.
