    Wonderful pictures put together so well. It does sadden me to see so many of England’s beautiful towns change. Aylesbury was one of those busy and thriving market towns. People came from all over to trade and visit. I walk through these towns now and see lots of charity shops, Barbar’s and betting stations. I miss those busy Saturdays with the shouting of the market vendors and the noises and smells from the cattle markets. I’m so glad I got to see them. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing pictures .

      Thanks, I'm glad you like them. Change is something we can't avoid. It's fortunate we have a record of what was there before. I just wish photography had been invented earlier.

    What a lovely set of old long gone photos, some changes are inevitable some good and some well ? Sign of the times the opening shot of the market square with the soldiers from WW1 and after 2021 with one of the old shops now “Bet Fred” !!

    The Walton Road pond is bout the only area that still looks roughly the same. I been a resident of Aylesbury since 1977 (aged 12) when my parents moved here. Lots of changes since then and i dont think its been for the better!

    Oh, that's amazing Karl. It's even better than your "half and half" pictures.

    Fantastic video, very interesting, Aylesbury seems to look like a nicer town in the older photos though..

      It was much better then, the town is run by mostly crime now, I live here and was robbed on the way to college a few weeks ago, that’s when I realised I got to leave this place

    Incredible how little the Walton Road scene changed, given how unrecognisable almost everywhere else is.

    Aylesbury, a town devastated by development, primarily the local councils fault. It was the end when the council offices carbuncle was built, and the final deathnel when the cattle market disappeared.

    I loved growing up in Aylesbury in the late 70's through until about 1996. After that it all went to complete crap. There's no heart in this town at all anymore. Maybe that's everywhere, maybe that's just the fact that people are selfish, self absorbed narcissists now but what I know for sure is that this town's heart died nearly 3 decades ago and the attitudes of it's people sucks now. It's a horrible place to live and work, truly horrible

      It is not a fact that everyone is selfish etc. You can't tar everyone with the same brush. The town has a population of around 70,000 so everyone is different. Maybe you're just fond of your youth and miss it. I can relate to that. I was born in the early 1970s and have lived in Aylesbury all of my life. I feel differently about it than you do. Places change and people come and go. That's life.

    great vids, but sad to see how much Aylesbury has degraded on many levels...
