I recall one in a neighbour's garden when I was a child...
... I just wondered if these are slow-growing or fast-growing..

Very slow growing - unlike some conifers about 25 years ago in our 1st home I planted a Leylandii hedge & it looked great for the first couple of years

hope you have lots of room, my mum has one which is now at least 30ft tall, so i addvice to keep only a few years unless you have a field to keep it in lol
