  • This video was taken during May 1990 and is just a record of a day in the life of my hometown Nantwich.
    Basically it's a stroll into the town centre starting at the Lake in Shrewbridge Road. Looking through the town at the shops and any changes taking place. then on my way home stopping off at the Railway Hotel for refreshments.

    All the people. And hardly any traffic, the good old days.

    The good old days, becoming one big council estate these days and rough at night.

    Hello John,
    What's the old saying?
    A picture speaks a thousand words,
    you capture the whole essence within this Cheshire town and just like cheese ( Cheshire, of course) or a bottle of wine, it matures with one thing....
    Time....priceless as it may be x

    Birthplace of my mum. Great slice of social history. Greenhall Whitley beer, as severed in the Railway, we used to call it Greenhall Shitley, awful, thank goodness for CAMRA. 😂😂

    Yaer I left Malbank school that year and still remember the town like that, still see Flash now and again. But up in Crewe and in the pub, as his health is not as good as it use to be. So does not push his cart every day now. This is when we still had stapley water garden and no new road across the river and we still had all the playing fields at the school. That is now a housing estate and the football ground.

    Now it has been destroyed by housing estates everywhere and new stores, turning into Crewe

      Yes you're correct. For anyone reading this I can attest to the validity of this claim. The town centre seen here, Nantwich Lake, Welsh Row, all of it was sadly destroyed and there's now only one massive housing estate. #progress

      @@KommandantHLL Haha thanks so much for attesting. Yes, I was born in the 1990s and I am from Nantwich. Last 10 years it has gone downhill, with all the awful new housing estates and out of towners arriving. Though, the variety in food and businesses has increased.

      @@KommandantHLL Although, you may have been sarcastic...your silly unfunny point is somewhat true. That is why I agreed. No Welsh Row has not been destroyed, but it is now surrounded by new housing estates and a lot more traffic each day. Even Cheshire East council is not stupid enough to destroy 300 year old buildings, but it did back in the 1960s and built rubbish, as you can now see in Swine Market.
      Nantwich has become a dormitory commuter town for people of Stoke, Manchester and whoever else decided to move there.
      This creates issues with traffic on small, narrow roads, pollution as well as over stretched healthcare and school services. That is issue regarding new housing estates, coupled with the ugliness of the homes themselves.
