I WAS BORN 1958 grew up in 60s London. we were very poor, but as a kid, all I was concerned about was rushing home from school to watch batman and robin on Telly playing in the street till dark go karting anyone remember penny for the guy and sat morning picture's? hearing my dad or mum screaming at me to get in, I had school next morning. I had a happy childhood with wonderful parents.

it is often said that the good old days wern't good ...oh yes they were kind regards

Growing up in the 50 s and early 60 s was a wonderful time . Fabulous memories .

I suppose there were still a few cobbled streets in the home country. Not so many though: in the earlier part of the decade a few deliveries were still being made by horse-drawn vehicles. Not many though

There are some rosey tinted glasses on in some of these replies.😂 They were hard times, that bred even harder men, and you did or you died trying.

Born into the Liverpool dockland slums in 1950, I loved my childhood. I guess the close community created by the common poverty, meant people needed to rely on family & neighbours thus creating close ties and a strong sense of 'community'. The other reality is that we kids knew nothing of the outside world beyond our immediate streets, which were all we knew. How we treated each other, the values we lived our daily lives by and the sense of togetherness did inject into us kids life values & morals, a sense of self pride and a strong sense of this is my world, these are my people and I'm part of them, did make me feel, happy, a sense of belinging and feeling safe. Kids in 2025 wouldn't have a clue about any such things! Glad I was born there :)

A time when the uk was a civilized country, the blaire turned up. Now look at it.

Better than it is in the 2020s!

This is exactly how Britain was in the 50’s

1950s/1960s was the best time of my life, money had value and there was no credit cards

Because it was what we were born into, we didn't think that times were hard - we accepted that it was the way it was and made the best of it. There was a shortage of many things that people nowadays take for granted, but we enjoyed a sense of neighbourliness, social cohesion and common purpose that is long gone and will never return.

Apart from just 2 photos that could possibly be equated to the South East, the rest were from Northern Britain. As for stating Britain was threadbare, bombed out and exhausted that is utter BS. I was there, I lived in that environment and I remember it being vibrant, exiting and full of hope - we "never had it so good".

I was born in 55 , and growing up then was the best, we could play outside in the streets, no car's racing up the roads, the front door and back door were left open no worries, no migrants, I had the best life then, and now I just worry for my children grandchildren and great grandchildren what are they going to do , all the houses and jobs will go to the migrants, Enoch Powell was damaged right ❤

Uncontrolled immigration is the main reason we've lost this caring, sharing life style lifestyle

The comments on here are loathsome, racist, xenophobic and disgusting. Unless like my family, people were wealthy, then 1950's Britain was pretty awful. It was still under rationing, housing for the masses was mostly appalling and life expectancy 15yrs less. I've never had time for the uneducated working classes and when one sees such comments, it's of little surprise.

Without any shadow of doubt, we born just after the war, have enjoyed the best period this country is ever going to experience. Stable, peaceful lawful and tolerant. Today is unrecognisable and I feel so sorry for today''s youngsters. I simply don't understand why the open door advocates are so willing to throw their descendants to the wolves !

I was born in Birmingham in 1941. UK was a much better place to grow up in the 50/60s than it is now.

What a depressing dump. And its all gone down hill since then.

Glad to have been part of it. But now looking forward to it being part of me.✌️👋

I was born in 1950, and although I lived in a comfortable home, I remember the drabness, the greyness. My Dad was a keen Sunderland football supporter, and I remember going to football matches with him, when they played away, Stoke City, Manchester United , Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, I remember the blackened buildings, the bottle kilns in the Potteries, the bomb sites, but I always felt safe. Today I rarely feel safe on the streets. Britain is becoming drab and dirty once again, but also dangerous.

I remember getting a bike from Tommy Braunds bike shop on Coatsworth Road. Great video.

I cannot see any Muslims or black people so this must be fake ;)

Wonderful England as it was in times gone by ❤❤❤. God only knows what has happened to this once lovely country !!!!!

Even though I'm not old enough to remember these places as they were, I knew exactly where the first one was, I used to come here to watch trains lol

its fucked now

Shame we didn't see any vauxhalls.

Depending on what part of the country you lived, for many people the late 1940s post WW2 and the 1950s were the best years ever!

I was 15 in 1950 my family didn,t prosper as much as some who bought new cars etc,but it was a decade of unprecedented prosperity for most,it prompted MacMillan to say the British had never had it so good and he was right.

These are all trevor ermel photos

That one remaining house

Beautiful urban landscape

They were colonised and forced out.

Long gone now , just memories

That's when people were human

In remember this sort of thing well and the smell not redmands shops coffee grounds and bacon smells

Love Iceland a place I really want to visit ❤❤❤

Gateshead is a shit hole now thanks to our governments

Was the Cozy Cafe in Cheshire St? My dad owned Chartway, a furniture frame makers factory just opposite under the brick arch and backing onto the railway. Certainly a feature between the late 50s and late 70s when they moved to Waltham Abbey. I think it's all been renovated since. There were tenement slums above my dad's factory. His factory was in a yard behind the tenaments.

Lovely full of character

Life has improved enormously since then for most people. Just look at life expectancy

Some of this is bollocks , Ford Anglia did not appear until 1959 , children with trainers on ! and yes I am that old to have lived it !

Ah, yes, I remember it well. Soon those that do, will all be gone, and another page turns.

Happy days and we didn’t know it.

We had a largely God-fearing population. Not any longer. We now gave Wicked perverted Gid mocking population. Romans chapter 1 in the King James Bible.

the countryside the politicians cant reach is being destroyed by building houses on it.

I was there, and everyone in the working class was in the same situation. There was no money, so everybody helped each other out. All I remember are happy times.

It was a great country, the best. Now a dumping ground for rapists, murderers, criminals, foreign drug gangs and the dross of the World thanks to stupid spineless Governments, knife crime is rife, open borders we are a joke, nothing great anymore about Britain.

England sinking fast government are allowing it .There are too many coming in from everywhere.So sad to see it happen feel sorry for our kids and grandkids . Say anything and you are called racist .

Self righteous comments like…’ England oh my England’…makes me squirm, what does the twit mean by it has been ..‘destroyed’….in what way has it been destroyed, there’s no industry left more or less of course but that’s the same with most of Europe

So sad that a lot of the people here are long gone by now. Forever frozen in a photograph. They hadn't a clue as to what this country would turn into. Would they even have believed it?
