1981 i left there. Brings back memories. Hemingwell I mean.

12:37 That view takes me back to a kid , that would have been my route to Oakway Infants and Juniors . All those buildings you see were never there back then apart from the white building which was a Chapel or Church . Which back then was surrounded by an orchard , the bridge further down the road was bult but blocked off . We called it the bridge to now where . So all that area was basically awaiting development and a kids paradise to play in . The estate behind those houses on the left wasn't there either at the time ( Kestrel Lane etc ) , the roads had been laid but that was it .

The Hemmingwell Lodge nursing home , my Mother worked there for many a year . In fact she retired from there just before it shut . It did have some structural issues at the end of it's life , although couldn't have been that bad as it was used as a Doctors surgery after closing . I believe one of the issues was the enclosed stair well which would have been seen from that side of the building was actually coming away from the main building . It also had on that side a House that was meant for the manager of the home to live in ( i think that was its purpose ) . How ever that got burnt down many years before it shut .

I lived on Nightingale Lane in the early to mid 90's. I worked in the HMV. Had some great times DJing alternative nights in Wellingborough and Kettering. I even did some Reunion specials in The Horseshoe between 2015 and 2017.

I was Wellingborough born and bred. Born on Stanley Road then moved out back in '92 then lived round the corner from The Swallow pub on Fulmar. My family still in Wellingborough I'm in Nottingham. Wellingborough holds some great memories but a lot has changed since moving out in 2000. Some great vids there fella!

Love your videos mate, bet you know Gill and Warren off the Hemmingwell? lived there years..

12:44 If you was to look down your left on that bridge , further down Nest Farm Road on the left on the grass opposite Sandpiper Lane was if i remember the only shop at the time on the Hemmingwell " The VG shop " . It was a portacabin shop and was there many years until the shops were built by the Swan pub and the old people home . I seem to remember the under pass for those shops was there but i don't remember the shops and for the life of me can't remember what was there before it was built . Taking a trip down memory lane right now lol .

Liking these Videos, Lived Hemmingwell all my life, never any issues.

Wellingborough David Attenborough 💪 Good Stuff keep it up

great video ,thanks for some memories of years ago.

I used to play with the Paterson children on Nest Farm when I was little, before the Hemmingwell was built. They were bought by the council and moved to a farm nearby. Can't remember where, though. I went to many a night at the rugby club and my sister's first house backed onto the pond when it was first built. My first Stag night was in my local, the Swallow pub, as I lived in Gannet Lane. But, wow, is it different now?

Really nice that you are promoting where you live. Like you say it got a very bad name 20/30 years ago but I guess those causing mayhem have now grown up and all now seems to be under control. Where I garage my car 10/20 years ago a group of people played havoc, breaking anything and everything and the councils answer at the time was 'knock the garages down'. Thank goodness that did not happen. The youngsters grew up and now value the area like we all do. well done to both of you.

Im from W'bro but now live in NYC. I lived up Vicarage Farm Road...can you go there and do a video? that would be lovely My nan was one of the first residents in Hemmingwell and lived there until she died . It was nice! I went to Breezehill which is now named Christopher Hatton, I am well in my 50's now but I sure am appreciating your videos - thanks Purple and Leanna!

Love the videos purple. Keep them coming!!!

15:12 coming up on the Bridge to now where lol .

I've been to the pitch before and I live in hemmingwell I went to oakway but now I'm in yr 7 at hatton

Nice one purple all them years I lived there and never knew half of what you just said good job keep it up mate 👍

Great video again mate. I’m sure the estate was built in the 60s not the 80s. So many memories. Where the play park is now there used to be a “mobile school hut” that we used to practice when I played drums in a punk band. It also used to double up as a disco on a Friday. Near to that there used to be a radio mast that we used to climb up! The bridge you crossed I got a slap round the face from a girl at the time. And yes there were qui a few scraps in that pub, that really was notorious. I also remember the pond and a shop that was another mobile school unit and was on nest farm road on the triangular patch of grass opposite the Robin lane junction. We also used to ride about the field down near the brook on a moped. It’s a shame about the rubbish everywhere. But I think bits been a problem for ever really. I lived there when I was 15 in 1981 to about 1996. And it’s also part of me growing up. Not as long a time as yourself of course. Notorious nah, would I change the fact I lived there? No chance.

Lived on Nest Farm Crescent. Great times!

My dad spent 20 years at Fulmar lane, had little trouble there really and house was huge.

Boss, keep up the good work! I notice that you passed by the Hemmingwell Community Centre.. You should pop in and there, see the amazing work these guys do and have a chat with the lady who runs it.

Big up NN8

Home sweet home lol

U know William Irvine I am his daughter ellesse u should also know Jenson u helped him get him bike back

Lived at Fulmar Lane 1985

It amazes me that Wellingborough district has removed more than halt the litter bins and don’t sort the pathways out anymore! How the council workers go home with heads so high I don’t know. over paid carefree attitude with little attention to the homes of thousands. The A45 looks a tip even to the point a young lad and lass was litter picking the bit around mc Donald putting there life’s at risk! Even the attitude of Norse is somewhat childish when confronted about the lack of a service they provide.
