There's something about this that makes me incredibly emotional. The music, knowing we can't get time back, simpler times of being driven around as a child. Thank you.

spent 80 to 84 there at RAF Innsworth. Loved the place. Tracy's , Snobs's, The Tabard, The Golden Cross , The Pint Pot. I could go on. As a young 18 year old I thought the place was brilliant.Brings back many happy memories.

Not long ago I used to walk down Bristol Road every day to work in town. It's so strange seeing it back then compared to now. Also I barely remember that roundabout from the A38 to Bristol Road. It was taken down when I was about 6 (1996?).

Very familiar. I grew up in Linden - if you'd turned right at The Avenue onto Tuffley Avenue, you would have been going past our house. My brother lived out in Quedgeley, so we travelled along Bristol Road a great deal then. Really surprise at how little traffic there was. I moved away from Gloucester about 2008 and visited about 3 years ago, was really shocked at how many cars there are now. Yes, I know Gloucester has always been a bit of a shit-hole, but it was home to me, and though I live in California now, I really do miss the place.

Would of loved to see more I was born (1957) and raised in Gloucester, over the years we lived at Longlevens then moved to Tuffley. This brought back many memories of Gloucester for me, I am now 62 and an Australian citizen and have been back to visit 3 times since we emigrated in 1982. If anyone knows of any other films taken in Gloucester I would love to see them.

I remember when Cole Avenue roundabout was there, with a big willow tree in the middle. There was also that nightclub on the corner, you can see it on the right as they exit the roundabout. A lot of it looks similar. Marshall Langton corrugated cardboard on the left just by the Hempstead bridge and then the chemical plant on the right just after the railway bridge.

The nightclub had many names over the years but I remember it when it was called "The Roundabout", it was knocked down and pets at home replaced it. I used to live opposite The Gladiator pub when in the 80's and 90's and still to this day my sister lives in that house. I'm in the northeast now but still go there from time to time.

I moved from Barton Street to Podsmead when I was 6 years old back in 1991. I remember a roundabout at the end of Cole Avenue, at the site of the current intersection by KFC. I recall it was known as Quincy's Roundabout, owing to a Quincy's restaurant occupying the current KFC. It was then Quincy's lights after the current layout was built. Is the roundabout in the beginning of the video the same roundabout?

Nice film of gloucester in the early 1980s. Then in the 1990s the police were called to a house in cromwell street where they made shocking discoveries of young women murdered at the hands of rosemary and fred west. They were both depraved abducting them having sex with strangers then killing them. Fred committed suicide but his partner in crime was found guilty and she will spend the rest of her life in a womans prison without parole. Horrible couple.

I think these videos would be greatly improved if only we could see where we are! Can’t read any signposts or street signs, is it a mystery tour? Very disappointing. I was brought up in Gloucester in the 40s and 50s and would love to know where I am in these films! But no, every sign is fuzzy and unreadable. Sigh.
