That's where I grew up in the 50s and early 60's. I lived with my parents on Manor Farm Avenue, the only street in the world with that name. Starting at age six I walked to the station (alone) and took the train to Hampton, to go to school at Denmead. Our back yard was a hayfield, before the M3 was built that went through it, and housing development. I would walk to the Thames marshes to catch frogs, and on to the Lock where I would help push the gates open and closed (it was manual then) I remember that we were strictly forbidden from crossing to the island.. Sometimes I would go with my aunt on a paddle or row boat for a trip up and down the Thames, looking at the expensive houses. . And my friends and I also walked to the studios, you could kinda see what was going on in those days. The shopping concourse shown in this video was frequently lit up with high powered lighting to shoot shopping scenes for movies. The two pubs across from each other was where I saw a drunk American, shouting, carelessly driving his huge Detroit tank around smashing our little vehicles trying to get out of his parking spot. Not a good memory. But overall it was a great childhood!
Didn't you go to St.Nicks? That was my infant junior school, then Thamesmead down Manygate Lane. 1958 Born and bred Shepperton, Mum still there in her 90's now.
@@milkosteve my dad went to thamesmead born in 1959 David Millard and had younger sisters Lorraine and Michelle one of whom still live in Bude. I~ believe they went to Saxon primary though
@@user-sj1ju5sd4t Hi, I remember your dad's name, I think he was in my year or the one below. My sister Sue would probably know his sisters though, she is 2 years younger than me.

@@milkosteve There was a school around the corner from where I lived, where my friends went, but I myself attended Denmead school for boys in Hampton.
@@vitajazz That would be St.Nicholas in Manor Farm Ave. I did a short video last year too. czcams.com/video/hs0tzMqpdvc/video.htmlsi=rnNsxBLceF-4rbwe

Nice video John, where do you access the studios walk please, nothing on line.
The entrance is signed just over the bridge on Squires Bridge Road, Shepperton, before you get to the church at Littleton.
@johncull thanks for letting me know John, we will check it out today.
Another beautiful video John, keep them coming. I hope all is well with you and you have some more adventures planned. All the best, Nicolai.

Nicolai - really good to hear from you. We have a few trips planned - all is good.
Good video again John. Pity they wouldn't let you in to the studios though.
I'm used to it Alfie - seems its one rule if you film with a phone and another if you use a camera.
