Video
showing the building of
Cheswick Green from the early 1970's
This film was made by the husband of a lady that used to
live in Heron Close. I'm afraid the quality is not to
good as it is has been copied to VHS tape a couple of
times before I was given a copy. The film shows the old
buildings of the Mount Estate that were demolished
during the building of Cheswick Green. Most of the film
is shot around what is now Cheswick Way, Heron Close,
Spinney Drive. It goes on to show the opening ceremony
attended by the Lord Mayor in a marquee where the
current Doctors Surgery and Shops now stand. You can see
there was still a part demolished property from the
original Mount Estate where the shops are now. Also the
tall poplar trees now much reduced in size opposite the
shops. Towards the end of the film it shows a
fete/sports day organised by the residents being held on
the recreation field.
Cheswick Green Residents Association meet on the 1st
Wednesday of the month at Cheswick Green Village Hall at 8.00pm
