Arnold Oglvie the chip shop . The two elderly sisters who sold all the old fashioned sweets next door to the library. Gone but not forgotten 😪

Happy happy times back then in Fenham. we were living there from the late 60's and it was a lovely place to live. Mam and dad are gone now and while I still pass through there almost every day it's good to step back in time and remember Fenham in its glory days. Thank u :)

I lived just off Fenham Hall Drive for 34 years so appreciated this video. Everything seems so much quieter then.

So many memories and good times of that area. Look at how few cars there are. Miss those days for sure. Happy happy times

I was born in Fenham chase, the cul-de-sac in the background in the removal truck scene . Think a famous BBC reporter/ presenter lived in those huge houses opposite the girls school, sure his first name was Howard. I also remember a National filling station bolbec rd / Fenham hall drive set back from road. Got my bike knicked from the shops near st James n st Basil's .also. Those were the days it was like darras hall compared with today .

Thank you for posting this video. I attended Dame Allan’s Boys School from 1967 to 1974 even though I lived quite far away. In order to concentrate on revision for my exams, I used to stay at my grandmother’s home at 75 Lonnen Avenue.

If England could only return back to these great times... People was taught respect in schools, you knew your neighbour, true english values were practised.. Happier times... 💙

Our house is shown here at around 16mins. 41 Newminster Rd.
Just opposite the bungalow with the Star on the front...

One thing to nice is you have main roads that aren’t completely blocked up.

So familiar. Our family lived on Grange Road and still do. One thing I noticed here were the stray dogs! Something you never ever see nowadays unless one has accidentally escaped!

My dad's old house is on this video. Number 100, Hadrian Road. He moved out in the early 2000s after over a decade of abuse by the shitbags living next door. Still lovely to see on this video though. I forgot all about the big tree in the garden.
