Aylesbury c1964 in colour

Somebody shot this cine film as they walked into town on a summer's day. It shows Walton Street, Great Western Street, Silver Street, Market Square and Bourbon Street. A fascinating look into the past.

I'm happy to see that this footage has been well received. I found it so interesting when I first saw it that I thought other people would like to see it too. I haven't seen much in the way of colour footage from that long ago so this film is a real gem. Keep the comments coming!

aylesbury is well different now. i like the cars they used to hav!

[tootall4u286]

Glad you liked it. I reckon the town looked better in those days. Walton Street has changed so much since then. It's twice as wide now!

i Think the town actually looked a lot better there then it does now...

geez, damn right it looked better in those days. why they have to bulldoze so much of the traditional stuff?? some of these people at the council deserve to have thier eyes poked out

@Tradescape It's the same thing all other Europe and large parts of North America.

Do we have to stand this for an infinite amount of time ? I wish my children will know something better, because at 43, I'm afraid it's too late for me. Greetings from France.

Fantastic record of the time, particularly if you experienced those days first hand, as I did.

If it was possible to remove the time code, even better :-)
