Wow. So many memories. A few people I recognise and definitely a ton of buildings I remember. My brother in law in the centre of the picture at 7:40. I lived there from 1978 to 2010 pretty much. It actually made me a bit emotional seeing all this.
I moved to Langham near Colchester as a 5 year old in 1977. We then moved to Chester in 1983. I'm now about to be 50 and living in Norfolk. Still go down to colch every so often. Thank you for up loading all the pics. Brings back a feeling of then..
@@ybashburn Lovely! We had a Mrs. Theobald and Mr. Thomas but the Head teacher back then was Mr. Balkley right? Its unfortunate there isn't an alumni for former students, that would be some get-together!
@@Stowerway Awww bless! Yes, it would be lovely if there was an alumni but I guess we shall have to settle with just photos and video clips... Stay safe!
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me
I attended St.Andrew's school (now Unity Primary Academy) in 1988. Mrs. Barns' class. Anybody here from the same class? J.J., Michele, Gemma, Kevin.. Lived in Stanley Wooster Way, brings so much memories, thanks))
It's now a city with a very small c , no CBT or Eastern National buses anymore . They are thinking of installing Trams . It's a complete shithole nowadays .

yep, exactly as I remember it
I haven't been into colchester for years, mainly because it's so anti-car. I would like to have a drive around but so many streets are buses only etc.
It's now a city with a very small c , no CBT or Eastern National buses anymore . They are thinking of installing Trams . It's a complete shithole nowadays .
wow loved those
Wow.
based there 1980 /1984 loved the place
Great video
The Hole-in-the-Wall pub late 80's must have been the busiest pup in town on a Fri Sat nite...
I remember the guy with the guitar. He could certainly knock out a decent tune. I heard rumours that he was a roadie for the Rolling Stones.
that was Derrick used to have the odd drink with him, lost days, some good days
Mark Ransome he was a good old boy. Colchester isn't the same without these characters.
I used to jam with Derek, liked his drink, and still play a good tune
Stonewash denim and Grange Hill hair. LOL!
RMP Cavalier 17KF16, there's a story there?!
5:06 is that nick buddo?(sp)
The only thing that’s different now is more modern cars
And concrete and houses everywhere. They destroyed an ancient town.
what was the song that used to be on this clip?
1:15 you can see jim (rip) selling the mens socks and the mens pants 3 pair a £1. he died a millionaire.
Oh God, I remember him! I don’t think I ever bought any Sports Socks 3 pairs a pound, but that was a Colchester Mantra back in the day.
who sang this?
whats the music?
Where was Woolworth's?
highstreet I think, mates dad was telling me about the IRA bomb that went off outside
@@bigbaz3740 was there one in Culver Square?
Yeah there was an entrance on both culver square and head street but I think there may of been another one somewhere else in town before that
Head Street where they built the front of Debenhams.
Right in the middle of the High Street across from the Hippodrome.
The world you grew up in no longer exists
