Gosh, this was fourty-three years ago, and look at Aylesbury now, all full of markets, sweet shops, fast food restruants and phone shops, it has changed!
I grew up in Aylesbury. This was a trip down memory lane. I went back there in 2014 I didn't recognise the place. St. Marys Church was just as I remembered it. Those who know the Gated road out towards Quainton, well there's a bloody big housing estate there now. The Oden has long since gone as well as Woolworths. I could go on but they call it progress.
Hello, dear cousins in beautiful Old England!
Things have changed a lot in 43 years
I wish I lived in these times
BACK DEN NICE TO SEE OLDEN DAYS IN UK TOWN
If anything it's far worse, along with the traffic. The big County Hall office tower is still there.....
I was born in aylesbury 81 yrs ago right beside the canal in coronation villas. The house was my gran and grandads and i spent some wonderful holidays there in the summer school holidays.❤😊
haha even then no one liked that big ugly grey building Dx it still looks terrible if not worse
Where's Jonesy?
The birdsong on the introduction..
52 years on and they still don’t listen. They want to demolish a 100 year old Art Deco building. Nothing changes.
Let’s make this the big one for Otway
I Like the Concrete Weetabix, You See it from Miles Away, and No its Your Town. Shut Up Mr Grundies(sic) thats My Home Town
Grundy certainly didn't like Aylesbury.

Grundy was an absolute waste of space.
