Just discovered and thanks so much for the memories - how narrow the streets are! Left Wellingborough in 1973 and lived in Little Harrowden, then moved to NZ in 1975. Last time in the UK 2003.

Hats off to people who made these seemingly inconsequential videos back in the day, they have recorded a small part of history, wish I had done the same in my home town.

How I remember Northamptonshire, when I first moved here. I hardly bother with the towns anymore....such a sad decline.

This is wonderful. Thank you for uploading it!

Just watched again. Loved it.

A trip down "Memory Lane" in my town, with the archival music of the eighties;Great short jouney !!!

Hey I was 15 running around with my mates. Wellingborough was a great town to grow up.

I was born and raised there but moved out 20 years ago. A great market town back then but was going downhill rapidly through the 90's. Now when I go back to visit family and walk around the place I realize just what a shithole it's become. A good video none the less and thanx for sharing.

Great to see. Did the same myself some years ago. Lovely to look back on. Thanks for sharing

Wow,how Wellingborough has changed,not for the better I'm afraid. Carried out a lot of work in the town with local surfacing co R E Crawley of Buck End,off the Northampton rd back in the 80's, good days! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing, Where are the Polish shops and charity shops, Maybe pawn shops? I moved up here 7 years later, How times have changed.

There is a video from 2018 to compare this video (as a tribute as well?) showing how things have changed! Lets just say for my job I have to climb telegraph poles, and some of them in this video are still there! In fact, at 3:53 on the right hand side, is a pole I climbed this week! (it was put in the ground in the 70's as most of these are) My highlight of the 'old' welli is the Woolworth's, Wimpy's (up the stairs in swansgate), the green dragon thing that you could crawl through, and even the old cinema!

Great video! Thanks for sharing :-)

Awesome!

It actually hurts to watch these look where we have come.2024 😢

Yes Karen we miss you blessings 📻🔥

Hello. Would someone be able to help me picture how one entered and exited the multi-storey? I remember watching this for the first time a while back and my mind being blown the the one way on Commercial Way was the opposite direction. Was the entrance and exit to the multi-storey in the same place? What was the set up the other along Castle Way like? Thanks. x

at 0:54 he was in the area where my house is right now in 2020. not exactly but I recognize that are very well

Nice video, how Wellingborough has changed.

Hard to believe this was 32 years ago...Billings Chemists and Saxby's...doesn't seem 5 minutes since we were still using them,

When there was natives in Wellingborough

Where’s all the green buses?, they were everywhere when I lived down there.

The toilets at the end of Cambridge street.just past the green mark2 Cortina

A background with Radiohead songs would sound perfect
