I loved old Aldershot more than Current Aldershot at least Old Aldershot had more Military character and more history

The RMP on horseback at 0.33. I lived in those flats as a young kid.Haven’t ever seen footage of them before! Willems Park it was called

Seen close encounters and star wars in the cinema there in 77. I was 7. Dukes Park. Used to play in the old hospital opposite. Pad brat.

and now its a shithole

Spent many years in Aldershot in basic training at Browning Barracks (Para Reg 1990's) then across the road with 3para. 👍👍 Good Times 👍👍. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Well that old Woolworths has now just been pulled down.

Such an amazing historical town..

Lived in Willems park from 71-73. Went to Talavera Juniors then on to Heronwood.

Used to live in Vine close around 1969 ish, went to Talavera school, was an Army brat! Malcolm Club and they were building the main road as we used to play in the drain pipes. There used to be a pet cemetary or at least army animal cemetery nearby I am sure

Thank you! It's amazing to see how thriving this town once was. When you think that Aldershot was once just a village, then an empire, and now a place with nothing going for it. Sad times.

Both good and not so good memories of Aldershot. Lived there asa kid from 1968-1973 Willems Park in the flats first and then the houses at the top of Willems park.

Taxi for Muslethwait!!

Another great Slideshow By Paul (Timelord ) Atkins

Happy days. I went to school at Manor Park. Caught 20b bus from the cinema. Had milk delivered by Stays. My sister had her wedding reception at the Swan.

Excellent vid! :o)

I lived in Aldershot between 1965 and 1970, and I Loved the place. I was a Schoolboy growing up here. We used to play in the old disused Barracks, on the Assault Courses, build 'Dens' , collect American Civil War Cards, watch Gerry Anderson TV_SERIES, read TV21 and the BEANO Comics. I attended Marlborough Lines infants, Talevera Juniors , and Heron Wood Boys County Secondary School. It was a place I have such Fond memories (some not too fond) but overall, I loved it there. Sadly, it has changed. the Atmosphere and Character just gone. All the buildings demolished to make way for housing for I WONDER WHO?? One cannot access many areas that were easily assessable at one time. The shops seem less (except for Nepalese ) I have Strong vivid memories of Aldershot, and many good friends all now lost as Ghosts from a long distant past..

Oh Aldershot, what have they done to you...One of the great crimes of English history

One word that best describes Aldershot..........HOME. Proud Shot.
