    Wow this bought tears to my eyes just how England used to be, when everyone had the time of day for you and what do we have now? Progress they say keep your progress I say!

    I was just one year old when this was taken. I remember shopping every Saturday and remember all the shops garage cinemas like that. People were kind then and had a sense of humour.

    I was bought up in west Sussex, went to Chichester High school for girls. I was born in 1966. This video is amazing.

    I was born in Chichester or 'Chi' as we called it, in 1958, I recognised every street and most of the shops in this film footage. Chichester was a great place to grow up but it was never the same after the streets were pedestrianised. I was desperately looking my Mum or Dad or a relative in the crowd, that would have been amazing, will look again you never know. Thanks for posting.

      RTK - I was born in Aldingbourne (birth certificate says Chichester) in 1961 and was struck by how little has changed. I think there's still a Stead and Simpson in the same place - lol!! Can't agree about pedestrianisation though: IMO it has made shopping more enjoyable whilst changing nothing of the intrinsic character of Chi. By the way do you find that you say 'Chidester' rather than Chichester?
      Lovely to see the old swimming pool!!

    Absolutely wonderful video. Chichester has not really changed that much.... just the now pedestrian main street area. I have been visiting since my parents moved there in 1967. I still call it "home", even though I grew up in Surrey.

    This road was the A27, running through the middle of Chichester, the forerunner of the main south coast. It's since been bypassed and what a traffic snarl up that is!

    My birthplace (and where my mum still lives in 2021) nine years before I was born. Even as a boy in the mid-to-late 1960s, much of what is in this film was there. Very high quality.

    We used to drive through Chichester often, on our way to the beach at West Wittering. I know we were there in 1953 (when I was eleven), because we spent a week at Wittering that summer. I remember driving by Chichester Cross each time we went through the city.

    No Roma selling the Big Issue, I notice. Not like now. Chichester actually looked like a living city back then, unlike today, with half the shops empty.
