The bungalows that are shown in this film were put up in the 1950’s as quick housing after WW2. Furthermore, the idea behind them was that they would have a short shelf life and were only expected to last for approximately 10 years. So here we are 72 years later and the last of them are still standing. So, to be fair to the residents there, you have picked on just one minute corner of Podsmead whereas you should have started from the junction of Podsmead Road and Tuffley Avenue to put out the true picture.

Podsmead raised! You've missed atleat two thirds of the area off here !! But tbh the sense of community was immense here, everyone knew everyone and would lend a hand. Kids played until lamps came on , parents would have street parties and get togethers and the houses in the cul de sacs were smart clean and well looked after. Sledding down the hill at the end of mansell close/Milton AVE ....army cadets for kids to do, and playing wembley and curvy and cricket in the street. The pop man who used to come around ....walking up the hills berry picking Honestly podsmead was a great place to live

I used to live on the first street that you showed (Tennyson Avenue) it was an absolute shithole, so glad I moved almost 2 years ago. The houses were poor and during the winter it was freezing, and I didn’t even live in one of the bungalows!

As an ex Gloucester Cover postie I did many rounds and saw the good and the (very) bad. As a concentrated piece of 'ShitHolery' it was hard to beat Matson and White City. The only time you got any respect was when they were waiting at the gate for their dole cheques. The round that included the council flats off Innsworth Drive/Cheltenham road East is another crap hole and female posties were not allowed to do it.

Fascinating! Those housing prices seem a bit high if I had to take a guess? I thought that baby carrier/ car seat was a dead duck at first, Haha. Probably not a pond for magnet fishing 😂😂

Great idea let's make the politicians live in their creations, inner city areas

The small bungalows that "look like they came flat packed [from Ikea]" in fact came flat-packed from Brockworth, they were fabricated at the Gloster Aircraft Company after the second world war. They were sent all over the country but Gloucester, being local, has an above average concentration of these dwellings. These prefabs as they are called were never expected to last this long but a lot of the people who live in them really like them. In that regard they are something of a success story.

That "beer garden" does not look at all "pretty nice"! Not even a little bit...

You need to come to Ramsgate in Kent,a true craphole.

It's pronounced Glosstersher (sher rather than shire) I believe

You should go to gleadless in Sheffield. Genuinely looks like something from iraq

No shortage of cars, tho'. Deprived my ass.

why does Google earth still look like 90s internet? 😂 great exploring m8

This one's a little unfair in my opinion, you've not mentioned the Crypt School, or even covered Podsmead Rd. Dig deeper.... just my tuppenceworth :)

You my friend are bang out of order ,,,,, podsmead is a lovely place . I live less than a mile away . and the people are very friendly . Don't knock an area unless you live there . I bet you live in Milton Keynes with Concrete Cows😂😂😂😂

Not that bad-looking. With a little trash pickup the neighborhood would look quite decent.

Strangely unpopulated. Were everybody inside their flats? Or were you hiding under a mattress whenever you saw someone walking by...

This is the cleanest getto, that needs a little paint job,be glad you don't live in the u.s getto it's more than just a getto it's a tourist attraction 😅
