The world was a simpler and possibly happier place back then.

Love watching these old videos from the 70s. I was 4 in 1975.

I miss those days.

A wonderful era.

Love all the old cars

I am Surrey born and bred lived here for most of my life

I feel so old looking at this video

I was raised and bought up in byfleet next village next door to weybridge i know weybridge very well

Walking down the street people would have felt the flared trousers flapping against their ankles.

My grandparents lived in Weybridge their whole lives. They worked for the Locke Kings for some years (the Locke Kings built Brooklands race track). My grandfather, Jack Boxall, later became a well respected gardener along with his son John. Jack was a former heavyweight boxer, a special constable and a member of the Homer Guard. This is the way I remember Weybridge, all the lovely shops and pubs., not the way it is now. I moved away from the area five years before this.

holy CRAP! Aside from the shops themselves, the high streets look exactly the same, barely anything has changed.

I remember Weybridge exactly like this!

Back when you could actually park your vehicle in the High Street and support local business.

This place was magic. Oatlands Park was where I lived and spent my childhood at Broadwater. Went to Oatlands School, Cleves, then Heathside. Missed it so much when we moved to Bournemouth.

The monument seen at the start was the original column from Seven Dials in Covent Garden, London.

At 2.36 with the parade of shops which was Monument Hill I believe, there used to be a hairdressers called Bernadette.

Lovely to see these old videos. I was brought up in Addlestone. Bois Hall Rd.

i was 4 in 1975 and lived up the A3 from weybridge in worcester park. we werent rich enough to afford weybridge

Brilliant

Anyone know where the house at 2:23 and 2:25 Lex Mead Car dealership was located?

Literally the same still

John Lennon lived here during the Revolver era. I can see why.

No multiculturalism

When there was Islam everywhere it was wonderfull

I wonder what the point of this film was? It looks appallingly dull, and it still is.

OUR UNUSUAL NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN SURREY - CHEAM, EPSOM, SUTTON, WEYBRIDGE & WALLINGTON Few people living in Surrey really know their neighbours but how would you know your neighbour if he or she worked for MI6? Most who knew Bill Fairclough didn’t have a clue that from the seventies he was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. So if you lived, worked in or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered Fairclough and his colleagues, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Some information regarding where Bill Fairclough et al lived and worked is given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974 and he still seems to be operational as Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings might have noticed (theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2021.07.21.php).
