Bob Hinton (97) talks about old Aylesbury

In 2002 I interviewed 97 year old Bob Hinton, an Aylesbury man who lived on Highbridge Road. I brought a pile of postcards and photographs with me to show him. The video shows most of what he saw when he was talking about them. For clarity I've added a few extra images to help tell the story. You will notice his old accent which has all but disappeared. This is a valuable record of how Aylesburians used to sound before the London overspill.

A beautifully put together interview with picture guide .
Mr Hinton clearly enjoyed the interaction, his enthusiasm and pride for his home town’s history, brought to light along the way ...thank you for sharing.

Wonderful, thanks for the memories. I remember my Dad taking me to see the damage where the land mine landed by Walton pond. I was about 3 years old and was more interested in swinging on the railings round the pond. Miss Baldwins shop near Queens Park where we bought liquorice wood to chew when sweets were rationed. A wonderful film, my late hubby knew Bob Hinton and would have enjoyed this film too.
