Robbie 39 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 DAVIDW, I am glad you started this thread I can now upload photographs of possible interest in other parts of England during the 50's and 60's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ooooh yes please Robbie. Looking forward to them all. If I don't know the places in the Pics, it doesn't matter because it's just great to look back at different places and decades. I'm just working my way through the Link that David put on in #1. I'm trying not to rush through them so I don't miss anything. Great Stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Carnaby Street in 1966 at the height of swinging London. We were on holiday at the time and my dad just took a few street scenes. All the people are pedestrians who just happened to be there. That Austin Healey would be worth a bit now. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Cliff Ton That's a great photo of Carnaby Street. Although I have heard so much about this famous street of the 60's its actually the only photo I have ever seen, now l know what it looked like....thanks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Great Pics Robbie, I particularly like the one of Warwick,. When the Children were small, Warwick Castle was one of the places we would visit a couple of times a year. Your Picture brought back some happy memories for me.

Merthyr Imp 729 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 This is the Baddeley Clock at Bowness - or to be accurate on the boundary between Bowness and Windermere in the Lake District. It was built in 1907 as a memorial to a writer of an early guide book to the area. Photo was taken in September 1995. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pity my dad isn't still around to discover that his casual efforts 50 years ago are attracting more attention than he would've imagined ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If you have anymore of your dad's 'casual efforts' Cliff Ton I wouldn't mind seeing them. I could look at those sort of photographs all day long. I don't know if you are aware but street scenes on a casual ad hoc basis is my style of photography. I am happy as Larry if I have buildings/people/vehicles all unaware that they are being photographed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I agree with Carni,i slowly...view each one. Cliffs one of London is a corker!! The Warwick ones Robbie remind me of happier times with my old Dad..thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 A couple more from summer 1966 (same as Carnaby Street) - this time Heathrow. A great collection of road traffic there as well. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not a Boeing in sight! Here's a couple from me taken two years earlier. I seem to remember it was from what they called the 'Waving Base'. I travelled there with my father to what was then the end of the Piccadilly Line at Hounslow West then by a connecting bus. I remember while we were there about half a dozen members of the Doug Sheldon fan club arrived to great their hero off a plane 'We want Doug!'. Not the best known of British pop singers, but I think he turned up on Ready Steady Go on one occasion. This must have been looking in the other direction. As Brian Johnston might have said, it almost looks as if there were more cars there than people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 #22. Ah, the Vickers Vanguard. Flew in one of those from Hucknall (G-APET) - yes, really did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
