I used to love running over the bridge and clambering up the unusually large steps... miss old looking London.
I used to bmx it and cut through the mall then down the subways over to Holland park .
@@tomthumb7103 - Oh wow! A local 😊 I lived just up the rd in Russell garden mews; by the Kensington Pub which is no more.
Vintage! I still think it looks weird without that bridge there anymore.
I've had dreams where it's still there. The way it looked suited the area, though it's much safer now using the traffic lights
I never even thought about that bridge for years. It was iconic. Hammersmith holds so many memories for me - I worked on the Broadway, my Nana lived along King Street - many happy afternoons in Ravenscourt park.
This is basically a time machine
That's where I grew up, just around the back of the SHOPPING centre. I'd completely forgotten that Bejams ever existed. 👍🏻
Prior to Iceland taking over the space
When the Bush was the Bush. Great time the 80s really miss those times
Used to live here in the 1980s in one of the tower blocks. I forgot there was a Bejam shop there. It’s a shame they didn’t film in the shopping centre. It was open air with no door entrance and no roof covering it back then. Would have loved to see some of the old shops there that are now long gone. I can remember Bush Books and Harley Chemist but can’t remember if the main supermarket at that time was Presto or Safeway? Wish I had a camera back then as a kid.
Lipton's
Thank you for posting this. I lived at the other end of Goldhawk Road in Odiham House. 85-87. It was a golden period in my life. The wonderful people I met Football in Ravenscourt Park and a curry in the Light of Gurka!
I was working in the green grocers at this time, Fruit fayre. I was just 16. Lived in Milson rd.
Damn my my parents hadn’t even met yet back then. I love Shepherds Bush honestly, my home, my daughters home ❤️
Squatted at White City before getting a bedsit on Bloemfontein Rd - great times.
It was really fun to watch the old black-and-white 1952 movie turn the key quietly, and in the first scene they mentioned going to shepherds bush. I would never have known where that was if it weren’t for your wonderful walks. Thank you
Cor you'd never recognised it now in days it's had a complete make over. Been living in Bush town since 1980 still here in 2022 memory lane, good olds days of going to the Last chance center during the holidays being taken to BMX track at back Edwards estate Latimer rd and having competitions with Fun factory and the other play centers, being intercepted by travels kids from gypsy camps robbed for your bike, then they put them under moter way and travels broke in stole all bikes that place gone now. 125 inter city bridge me and mates in the evening use to slide down the escalators into the shopping centre. And Shepard's bush market even Fletcher's fruit and veg have sold up and gone like A. Cookes ( Mick's) pie and mash, Zippys for burger a shake and brown Derby all gone, I even remember Dead eye dicks jean shop were Tesco is start of 80s, wheelers arcade shop next to Vinnies patisserie before they stopped kids playing arcades, and who remembers the Sweeney TV show most of the action scenes filmed is were they build West field's shopping centre, steptoe and son and the classic minder, who car lot was back of Blyth road by my primary school we use to see them filming it when going library, remember madness tune i like driving in my car video driving up and down Goldhawk rd. Bring back memories.
Lived in the Bush 84-03, nearly twenty years. This looks so familiar, I don't think I'd recognise it now.
Grew up in East Acton, a couple of miles up the road. Shepherds Bush was my old stomping ground. Mum used to take me down the old market and to the old Rank cinema next to the now demolished Union House which had the old post office on the ground floor and the Dr Who production offices above it. Back then the place was a shithole but it had a certain charm. These days, with the coming of Westfield, not so much. I miss the old days.
It's never been a sh*thole, as you describe it.
@@misst.e.a.187 you must have very low standards
I reckon that Volvo is still waiting to pull out now
Legend has it...
That brought a chuckle
The kids @ 5.45 will be 50 yrs old now.
I sure miss the days when traffic was allowed to find its own way, unhindered by the current forest of oversize box junctions, unnecessary and unreliable traffic lights, pointless 20mph speed limits and Advanced Stop lines big enough to accommodate a stretch limo. More Noddy state than nanny state. You can't get hurt if you're stuck at a yellow box junction that you can't cross in one movement, or at a traffic light stuck on red. Happens routinely at this location now.
totally agree, it’s been proven that the less signage and complication, the safer it is.
@5:24 Dog driving a car!
HAHA didnt notice that!
I used to work in the tax office there between 1977 and 1992 in Rockley Road. I used to drink in the Telegraph and the Mail Coach.
Do you remember the white horse pub
@@drakeelder7932 I'm afraid not.
Ah, the Mail Coach when when Westfield arrived
Loved growing up in Shepherd's Bush at this time. I was 19 at the time - super memories. Fast forward to 2018 and in my opinion the place is a hell hole to live in. Too populated and congested now and not as safe as it was back then.
m8 im from bush and love it
@@AnonymousLdn fair enough.....you didn't experience it back then however, much more of a community feel and close bond with each other. The community feel has more or less gone.
Agree I live here and can’t wait to get out absolute shithole
@@Sam-fc8ik how...
@@Ful12344 That could be applied to many places now
I lived in bush court..had a ad aka amenity deck 😂😂😂
Was there yesterday
I remember that being built and being torn down.
It was never torn down, but redesigned.
Why was the bridge ever decorated with an InterCity train? There was no train station anywhere near there! The tube station is central line only. The Overground station there today was built long after that bridge came down.
A tv program had a competition for local school children to design something for that bridge. That won. Think the program might have been blue peter? BBC one anyway 👍
For fun
Back when dishevelled and threadbare, wasn't a look to be emulated.
SHOPPINC, I used to like to shop around there. I enjoy my shoppinc
I lived in lime grove.
I lived there as well in the flats converted from the old swimming baths, opposite the old BBC studios, that have now been replaced with housing. Bought my first under counter freezer from that Bejams(@1:09)
BBC was still there until 1994
Loftus road here👍
times are so different and overcrowded with too many expensive buildings killing the area
The days when you could park on a double yellow right at a bus stop and not give a f##k 🤣
Diplomatic plates… exempt.
no traffic lol
wtf im from shepherds bush and it looks so diff now
Of course it does if you moved there post this era. I remember it all very well.
London in 80s looked abandoned
It wasn't. It was fantastic, full of life and originality prior to globalism
Now it's spot the white man.
Grew up in White City estate in the 70s, I was there last year to visit and assumed I was in Somalia
So much prettier ngl
