check out these old downtown images from 1954

There is a special video on Youtube in which you can take a small tour through the center of Hengelo. Why this video is so special: The footage was filmed in the mid-1950s. Curious what Hengelo looked like then? You see it here.

Old cars, the station and the Enschedesestraat. They all pass by in black and white in a video on Youtube. Marco Müller of Nostalgie Hengelo collected the images via the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, edited sound and put them on his YouTube channel.

Of video

A wall is being built with the Lambert Basilica in the background. We also see a large group of workers posing in front of a wooden facade. Among other things, signs with ‘Oil stoke Fa. Korink Hengeloo’ and ‘GF van Heek Schilderwerken’. Do you recognize anyone or do you recognize places in the video? Check it out here:
