Oh Fabulous, my home town from 1952-1963 although I was a frequent visitor while I still had family there, sadly all gone now....but I did come back for my 60th birthday, October 2011.....the lake area and the Fighting Cocks are amongst my happiest memories!
@bednarikovak, you'll be happy to know that most of the lovely shots captured here look very much the same these 40-odd years later. Even St Peters St has had her trees reinstated, now beginning to mature after 6/7 years and looking beautiful. If only the town planners valued the architectural heritage as much! They want to ram a budget hotel in up by the top roundabout! D'uh?? So, come back, your town still awaits! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful footage. I lived in St Albans between 1967 and 1972. It was a wonderful place then and your clip brought those memories rushing back. Happy days, happy people and a happy city. Thank you.
God gave me a chance to spend few years there and I will never ever forget them. My heart is bleeding... I want live there... I bless to this city, to every brick, to every person, who is living there.... My heart will never ever stop bleed... I want cry out, how deep is my pain... how deep is my love.... and I cant be there...
@bednarikovak yeah i know what you mean i miss it so much i live in plymouth now and feel like iv been chucked 20years behind.....everythings so slow here and boring i miss st albans
