Left school in ‘63’, met a lot of my friends about that time, first job in a local factory, summer beano’s and Christmas dances, disco’s in between, bands in pubs (lied about my age) wonderful music.
The people al sitting out side there homes in a nice sunny day, i was born 1963, i wonder what people that day where talking about, the big freeze was on its way that christmas.
@@macraghnaill3553 sounds about right.

I don't believe the date of 1963. The trolley buses were phased out satrting from 1959. The last one ran from Wimbledon in 1962. Thus the sequences of film showing trolley buses were from a date earlier than 1963.
This is London but it could be any city. I'm from Leeds and these pictures from the markets remind me of how Leeds Market used to be. People came from all over. Not a foreigner in sight . What have they done to our country?
Leeds Market was fantastic - I remember all the butchers and stopping for mushy peas with mint sauce before heading home as a little lad! Nowadays it seems the Council doesn't understand what a market is all about - if Bury can do it well, surely Leeds can.
Big changes at London Guildhall, the late victorian ? buildings went with the new library and similar built further east and west opening up the square (and more recently finding more roman remains). A lot of dirt cleaned up
So by looking you can tell that they are English? WOW! You must have some super powers! No Irish, no Dutch, No Hungarians, No Scots?, No French, No Kiwis? All DEFINITELY English, yeah? OK, if you say so
@@footballsoccerx2021 Given that this is London, and that the effects of mass immigration were yet to show themselves even there at the time (except for very specific and geographically limited areas), the balance of probabilities favours the assumption that these white people are English.
@@gregtaylor6146 so basically ALL white people were English and you can vouch for that? Don't talk nonsense. I was there.

@@Khayyam-vg9fw exactly- that is the ASSUMPTION! The fact that white immigrants have been arriving in London for centuries suddenly goes out of the window once you decide to bring colour into it.

Breaks your heart.

All of this lost within 60 years, how careless we’ve been.
As a school boy at that time this looks like ancient history. Farewell my England !
Very strict 'Elf 'N' Safety' at 6.03.
Makes me feel so sad to see what's happened since. I could cry.

thought the freeze was Jan 1963. (till March)
@@highpath4776 it was, If I remember right started Boxing Day 1962 and ended March 1963

When England was England
Why? Was is it now. Has it changed its name?
"When England had colonies- and treated the locals badly". You forgot to add that bit....

l noticed that too.
Can not be 1963 as the last tram ran in May 1962. This footage is earlier I would say 1959/60
Point, did not trams end in the late 1950's, throughout London?

We've been genocided in our own country. That's what they've done to it and us.

Cuts are a bit jumpy so not easy to follow say each of the markets covered
England was a wholly different place then. Foe one thing, temperatures were cooler.
Apart from all the heat waves in the 70's
Long hot summers
Is that based on Met Office data?
Yawn!
look there all white
Just like the decent schools in the Empire! All kept for whites only. Sad times, huh, Ian?
White English people ....in England, surely not???
