Good family cine film of Richmond in 1956. I was one. Good views of the town and Kew Gardens. The house was in Cambridge Road. People with hats walking along the riverside...
Christmas 1956

My favourite piece of video from Al's cine films. Well put together and captures a happy Christmas. Also highlights the changes over the last 50 years. It stars my grandparents Grace and George, Sheila and Al, Eileen and Maurice. An unrelated cameo of Dot and Judy at the beginning is interesting if surprising.

Thurlestone 1976 - Jen and Ed get married
The people then looked so stylish and respectable! No drug dealers on the Green in 1956! 7
Wonderful then, when full of BRITISH people..
Oh dear Greg, you poor sad man.
@@richardp - On the contrary, I used to have a very nice house right next to Sheen Gate, I have since moved to a nice place which is still white European. Woke lefty t w a t s like you are welcome to keep living cheek-by-jowl in London with the ever-increasing world's detritus. Take care now!😜
Stunning Mike, stunning
I was a good looking kid
Sad to think all those young children in this film will all now be pensioners. Lovely film and so nostalgic.
Sadly we are Andy.
lovely.... we lived in chiswick but would often go to richmond ice rink...in the good old days....
The beauty of Richmond is that so much has not changed. My home town that I miss a lot.
My parents often met in Richmond in the late 1950s before they married. I continue to go there quite frequently now. Your lovely film suggests much of it is still the same today.
Where is this filmed? Love the music with images. Thanks for the old Christmas feeling
@@richardp oh ok no worries my friend
my Home town. shame its not the same anymore glad I moved to Cornwall
My home town. Lucky to have lived there. Rose-tinted by childhood, but nevertheless unique. he world of the 50s was hard for adults. We must remember this when we talk of how it was so much better. But.............maybe it was. Life, pre-1995/96 was different. The Spice Girls mark the watershed - followed by the internet - The Turn! We have allowed technology to complicate things. We have allowed fer to get the better of us. I hope Biden gets in , TONIGHT! A fraudulent Ponzi crook, but at least not a psycho and enabler of nutters. The Nationalist rise around the world would have appalled people in the Fifties, in Richmond, after what they had been through a decade before. So come on - grow up
Year my mother and father got married, lovely times ,both deceased now but their memory lives on,love you both all my love your loving son Clive,.twe wil meet again in eternity..
I spent my childhood in Richmond happy memories, going to my grandads allotment and old deer park and along the river and going to Holy Trinity school sadly no longer there. Richmond hasn't really changed much over the years thankfully
just literally come down off there
Weren't you the tiger in life of pi?
That was another Richard Parker
Thanks for sharing this. Unlike a lot of the country, Richmond was mostly spared the bulldozers of the post-war period. The only thing that really spoils the place now is the traffic. I also wonder if the food in Kew Gardens was as overpriced as it is now.
Yes Richmond was one of the London boroughs that escaped the trashing of the 60's and 70's and that's why it's remained a very desirable place for living. Don't know about the food prices at Kew in those days but I'm told it was 1d for entrance up until the early 70's!!
@@TheVaughan5 It's pretty expensive to get in now, but if you live in London it's worth getting a membership. Visit a couple of times and you've paid it back. I was there last week; you have to get a time slot to avoid overcrowding and the system seems to work well. Plenty space to park bikes and they need it too. The only issue they are having is members booking slots then not using them, because they are turning away paying visitors. They need the money as it's prime season and the tourists have all but vanished. But people should definitely go. As for the restaurants - they are closed for now but there are some stalls. Yes they're expensive but to be honest I don't begrudge paying. There'll be a few commentators on this thread of course who would never set foot in Kew - most of the plants are foreign.
@@acciid Though I live only 15/20 minutes walk away it’s been many years since I last visited, must go again. I regularly walk past on the path by the river on my way to Barnes.
Yes indeed, though it then increased by 200% to 2d! I'm afraid that I don't know the % increase to the price now though, perhaps someone might be able to calculate the current percentage rise?
Beautiful memories. If the video didn't exist, we would be told that we imagined a golden age. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
It hasn't changed that much then. I remember when they had those horse things in playgrounds. Thankyou for sharing this film.
Amazing that absolutely nothing has changed in over 60 years! I love the women's coats, too.
I’m old now but this is my Richmond. Uncomplicated and beautiful
good quality footage to say how long ago that was, everyone dressed better back then too - all live and well today I hope? Kids grown up and all
Thanks. And yes kids all grown up now.
This is truly amazing
Such lovely memories of my home town.
Thanks Amy. I love it
Wonderful. I know all those places so well now. thanks
peter towsends home see
kew gardens
petersham...
interesting to see those drinking fountains working. I've seen a few around town like at the crossroads at the bottom of Queen's Rd and by the river front
What a wonderful film. A lovely family. I grew up in Ham and once I left there in 1975 aged 20 I realised how beautiful the area was. The river Thames is perfect. Ham House, Richmond Park, Petersham, Ham Common. Your film is very special and full of atmosphere.
+CAMF24 Thank you. It is still beautiful now.
I too grew up in Ham.My parents moved there from Richmond when l was ten months old in 1952.I moved away with my husband and children in 1986 ,to Wiltshire, but Ham is my home, l have many photos of their area, which l started taking at the age of eight, beautiful pictures of Ham House gardens, before they changed them.I also have photos of Prince Charles taken after a Polo match his team had won in 1981, clutching his prize of a Magnum of champagne.
You could go up the River towards Kingston aswell to Thames Ditton,Hampton Court or could go the other way towards Putney, I am from Kingston and my wife from Richmond, so yes, when these areas were still towns, it was really wonderful way of life! Today 2021, Gran Metropolitan, parking, traffic, etc.
wonderful
Thank you!
Thanks for this.Nice trip down memory lane of familiar places from my childhood. Was this digitised directly from the original cine film, I wonder? It would now be copyable in higher definition I suspect. Some of the best results I've achieved have been to video the image from the cine screen directly with a decent camcorder. Cheaper than commercial copying if you've still retained the projection equipment.
Utterly charming! Yes, you're quite right, it's hardly changed at all. I was seven at the time by the way!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
This was the time that I grew up in also! It was lovely seeing the art show up on The Terrace, I always so enjoyed that event each year! It was a time to mix the various aspects of encountering neighbours with similar enthusiasms; appreciating the various styles of amateur art; meeting the artists; the annual diary event, etc.
Thanks. I'm amazed how little it has changed - apart form the people...
you're right, everyone is a lot more wealthy now and ordinary people cant afford to live there.
@@SleepscapeSerenity Thats good!! Keeps all The immigrants from bringing it Down to there filthy level
I think you'll find plenty of immigrants in Richmond. They tend to be wealthy and are lured by the career opportunities and the quality of life. They generally have a better command of our language than you do too.
@@acciid I bet he likes a nice Chinese or Indian takeaway too; "Yeah, but they're (or probably more like 'there') alright, it's the bloody immigants I don't like!" Fucking tragic numpty.😂 They're _always_ on these vintage videos spreading their idiocy and spoiling it for nice people.
Wonderful. Beautiful area. Grew up there. Moving o watch. Thanks for sharing this. A lovely time bridge!
Thank you so much for downloading this. Wonderful childhood memories for me too.
Brilliant, thanks for uploading!
Thanks for the spirit !
I'll watch any old film if it's colour!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Excellent poetical video! Thank you.
Excellent video. I love it.
Beautiful interesting video! Thank you.
Excellent video! Thank you. A breath of time.... I make videos about modern Mallorca. :)
Thanks for your comment. The house we come out of is 66 Queensway. In 1962 it was the last house and the road ended there. It was connected up with the other end of Queensway later. Shot on 8mm cine film without sound - and you're right, that is a shame.
