Imagine living in the same house, married to the same person, for 66 years. Harry and Gladys would have married in 1923. One cannot fathom the social, political and economic change they witnessed in that time.

I was so happy to find this documentary as my Grandparents Rose and Albert Ransley lived in No 24 Cardross Street and my parents lived with them for a few years after marrying and I did too when I was born. It was so lovely to see Harry and Gladys Weller from No.26 I remember them from my childhood. My grandfather is listed as living there with his first wife, seven children and a boarder in the 1911 census! I'm not sure how long before that he occupied it but I am researching family history. My grandmother Rose died in 1971 and my uncle Don (Donald Stuart) lived there for a while after that before he sold the property. I loved that house so much and have many happy memories over the 17 years of my own life connected to it. Having seen it sold in 2012 for £760,000 and barely recognisable inside now it's unbelievable that I think my Uncle bought it for £600. How the world has changed.......progress is a strange phenomenon!

I moved to Cardross Street in 1990 and lived there for eight very happy years. The Andover Arms at one end of the street and The Anglesea Arms at the other. I do recall a very few elderly residents and some of them dying or moving on during my time there. Inevitably younger people like me moved in and spruced up the old places. Just like pretty much everywhere else in central London. I went back to visit five years ago and not much has changed (apart from the prices). Still a lovely street to live in.

I lived in Tasso Road W6, a dead end street, in the mid 90’s. I was very lucky as it was still full of the lovely original families who were in the majority. Everyone did know each other, pub and shop at the end of the road etc, but within 10 years or so the place had become much more transitory . Much like Cardross Street.

Dennis Neale, Oh my goodness, this brings back memories. I saw this when I lived in Iffley Road (1983-1989). It was such a good, slice of life little documentary about the changing times of “Brackenbury Village” and the people who lived there (the original residents and the newcomers like me). I loved the area. It had a lovely villagey feel. Cardross Street was picture-postcard pretty with wonderful cottage gardens in summer. It is all now 30 years ago for me. I went back last year and walked through the village which did not seem to have changed (apart from the astonishing house prices). However, the areas to the south (Hammersmith Broadway) and the north (Goldhawk Road) had really changed.

I lived for three years at 27 Brackenbury Road above (what was then in the 1970s) the fish and chip shop (the proprietor of which was Petros, the landlord) next to the Post Office. Gas central heating and hot water included for £9 / £11 per week. Two pubs: the Wheatsheaf at the Goldhawk corner of the Road and the Andover Arms at the other end (up market, adjacent to Cardross Street), from which a pleasant and memorable evening comes to mind with Linda. A travel agency (in which an episode of 'The Sweeney' was filmed), a mini cab office, newsagent and hard ware / grocery store. Banim Street saw the Royal Oak (a 'drag act' on Saturday nights) but now a so called 'gentlemen's club' in pink and black .Fond memories of families (like Pearce) that befriended me. Now the 'village' seems to be just soft furnishing outlets, et alia.

I completely respect these individuals who have lived in their homes/street all their lives etc and have such history of the community that once was. Personally though, I have always been self aware not to stay in the same area/house if possible due the fact that I feel everyone moves on through life and the fear of being 'stationary' etc. I suppose that came from living my teens to my adulthood in the same home for 38 years having family and neighbors move on or die around me. But what a great insight and documentary. (and when dogs were welcomed in pubs, shops etc...when we all knowingly knew that they were better behaved then children 😆).

And yet Hammersmith still somehow feels diverse and lively.

As a former 1980s “Brackenbury Village” “yuppy” (who came and went), I had a great mix of local friends which included people who had lived there all their lives and newcomers, including, yes, yuppies and luvvies (BBC studios at Shepherds Bush were 10 mins away on foot). Thatcherism and the economic boom certainly added fuel to what happened but London has always been a mix of locals and newcomers as have most British communities (think villages with new housing estates), with all the (often exaggerated) accompanying sense of “them” and “us”. PS: I think even John Pitman (who made this documentary) may have lived locally!

You know, I had to stop watching this. It made me so sad to see these elderly people living in such terrible conditions with landlords that didn't care and who were just waiting for these tenants to die so they can sell the house. The difference in living conditions between the elderly and the new yuppies was so stark and really awful. I'm not sure what year this was? Probably the 70s or 80s I imagine. I bought a flat in a Victorian house in south London in the mid 80s for 18,000 pounds. I remember when I was flat hunting, seeing houses with a bath installed in the kitchen and covered in a work top to disguise it. Some flats had no bathroom or inside toilet and I'm presuming those were flats where the elderly had just passed away. Those flats the same street are now on the market for around 450,000 pounds. The estate agent in the red jacket that was showing the prospective buyer around was so ignorant that she couldn't even say "good morning" to the elderly gentleman standing on the front step. The prospective buyer was just as bad as she could have spoken too.

@@jasonleon1976 exactly it was all these traders of different nationalities with their different wares and skills that helped lay the foundations of London and send it on a nonstop growth and make it an exciting place to be which in turn further accelerated its growth.

Just like the spiri of the area! Thank you uploading this, but I have to say that this one of the most depressing things I have ever seen. it reminded me of the Highland clearences.

30 minutes of a 40 minute documentary, that's shrinkflation alright... Ironically all the new blood in this documentary will be the old folks now I wonder if there are any still there and what they think of the London housing market nowadays.
