I was born in the 60s so my memories don't go back this far, unfortunately, Looks so remote & the people calm & happy, like every moment was lived, a paper boat on the water kept a child happy.
I lived in Globe Rd in the 80s, I loved that area' coming from Harold Hill to Hornchurch seemed like a million miles apart although only 10 mins by car. I loved them days living there with my mum & most of my family was alive then. Id love to know why the world is changing, I mean" from love to what seems like hate & at such a fast pace, people now are out for themselves, no togetherness. oh, it is so sad because this could be such a lovely world. I pray humans realize one day & change. if it carries on getting worse then I can see the world coming to a terrible end.
I loved all your comments on here, sounded like you were all so happy to have been part of them days" brilliant reading the little stories, I could read them all day
Lovely to see how I remember Hornchurch again, I was born in the late forties, it does look very rural. I remember sailing my yacht in the pond at Harrow lodge park, also remember going to the library in the old house near the pond. When the swimming pool was built we kids went there as part of a lesson when I was in the juniors.
I was born in 1952 and stayed most of my life in Elm Park..Wonder if they managed to get the horn s back from who ever stole it on the church.
Very enjoyable
Upminster Recreation Ground.... no it's not Upminster Park. As mentioned twice in this wonderful little film it's called Upminster Recreation Ground.
my father is buried there. 1951
It's an interesting one for sure.
My wife and mother in law worked at Lacronoids
Thanks for posting. Vehicles particularly interesting. Did not see much of the town center back then sadly? Very nicely done and survives its age rather well? Pretty sure they would all have been horrified at becoming part of Greater London in only 13 years time...
Noticed some pronunciations I was not familiar with too (i.e. Corbets Tey). That might be ignorance on my part though?
I would have thought Upminster was Hornchurch nearest neighbour ?
Or Elm Park !
Treated as part of Hornchurch by virtue of Urban District Council boundary, like Elm Park.
@@limjamrace elm park is hornchurch
@@josephbarker6608 So that is why there is a tube station called Elm Park..My address was always Ennerdale Avenue ,Elm Park Hornchurch Essex RM12 5JT ..As said by Beechwood Videos ,Elm Park came under the Hornchurch District Council..I live in a village now that is a satete of an area called Swadlincote,Sth Derbyshire the district Council
A concrete jungle today, sadly
+thisiszaphodbeeblebr Indeed....this brought back so many memories for me, being born in the late 40's and moving into our little house in Elm Park in 1952. I can't get over just how RURAL it looked then. It really does look an idyllic place to live and not that far from the centre of London by train.....I fondly remember floating my little yacht in the boating lake in Harrow Lodge park, ( as seen in the film)and playing on those swings and slides, a few years before they built the swimming pool near there. I have been back to that area many times over the years and , yes indeed, a concrete jungle by comparison. If only I could go back to then, ( with my current income now ! )----fascinating documentary....
along with romford, havering is one of if not the most racist part of the country
there is a difference between wanting to leave the eu and racist but that is another story for a different video lets just appreciate havering as what it should have been and forget about the concrete jungle it is today, only corbets tey, noak hill,wennington, and havering atte bower are the only places left that are not overwhelmed by concrete and brick
@@TimRosenburg Shameful remark. A slur on my family who fought in the war and moved to this district.
@@TimRosenburg Grow up Timmy.
All gone now
What is this “nomes manor”.Nelmes manor?
No English people now. Parks empty. Paddle pools gone. Nothing. Good olde days
Park is always full in the summer and most weekends you'll find a healthy gathering of footballing kids!
@Deesar Thafaks Oh no! Not you! Again! 🤣
Shame,bit of a dump now
Might as well be a different planet now ,could barely recognise anything
There are worse towns in london area than Hornchurch believe me ,
Now part of Greater London, which has on the whole become a complete sh*thole.
