Video tour from Feltham to Staines in 1993

A trip from lower feltham to the Crooked billet roundabout Staines via Bedfont lane. Filmed about 1993. On my last visit to Feltham most of the pubs on route had gone and had been replace by houses and flats. A blast from the past for you all to enjoy. Sorry about the poor commentary but I didn't know it was going to be on YouTube and didn't want to dub over it!

@BrianCee I have done, very good, I will sort out some of my own photos from Feltham. Somewhere I have a colour slide of looking out of hunter house at a 3 bed house and I think it was before home court was built taken by a friends grandad. I know it was a good slide as I paid to have it copied some 30 years ago.

A very interesting clip. Much has disappeared including the Crooked Billet.

@lopzilla many of the pub I used to drink in have gone. The prince of wales, railway tavern and the locomotive. How times change!
