a great film! I lived in Stony Stratford for 38 years taught at Russel First and St Mary and St Giles. (Sandra Norgate)then. My late husband Chris painted many of the outsides of the buildings over the years. Our 2 children grew up there and we lived in Clarence Road. Our daughter Rachel trained as a nurse in Reading and Jonathan went on to Cambridge University. I moved from Stony in October 2006 following Chris s. death in 2005. I think still some of my heart is there although I now live in Horsham West Sussex. It's a great town and it was a privilege to have spent some of the happiest years of my life there.

Hi spent a lot of time on clarance road in the 70s and 80 at my grandparents house think it was number 37 bright yellow front door

Castles Surplus Store was the source of my entire wardrobe in my youth. Pity it's no more, like Pollards in Fenny.

Yup still have a few garments from the store

Nice! I'm from Deanshanger (mentioned at the end), my uncles worked at Wolverton Works, not sure if they went by tram though! Lovely to see views of Stony (memories of walking across the fields of Passenham to get there) together with some history.

Lovely video, great blending techniques (old to new). Just one thought: it is a bit slow in places - for example portrait of Richard Duke of York (who murdered the boy princes) was rather lingered over with dramatic music a bit too long for my liking. People don't have a lot of time nowadays so that would be a way of shortening the length of the video without losing content? Just a thought. Otherwise I loved it!
