Would You Like to Live in the 1940s???
Absolutely
Yep
I was born in 1949.😂😊
The people who say yes to that comment will be the most ignorant. No equal pay act (women were thus second class) No health and safety act. Smog, outside toilets, life expectancy considerably lower than now...The lists goes on.....i imagine a lot of people prefer the 40's simply because everyone was white. Simple racism is why so many say they prefer it
Can only remember back to early fifties , food rationing ,no car ,no telly but they were much better times .
How much better the London skyline was before it was filled ugly steel and glass monstrosities that make it look like any other city in the world today.
London was a filthy dump. It was still a dump when I got there in `79.
My dad was a ten year old in 1945 sadly he passed away last month at age 89 what massive changes he saw in his lifetime and experienced how somethings never change, be kind to each other 🙏
Those of us who were born shortly after the 2nd world war have had the best years. Yes it was tough at first but we had so much more freedom and people spoke to each other without all this modern technology. We made our own toys and spent much time outdoors climbing trees and enjoying ourselves in the natural countryside. As a child life was priceless.
Well summed up, lifestyles were better back then despite having next to nothing but we had more friendship, people helped each other more and. Modern lifestyles are the cause for all the obesity and diabetes problems we see today. Wish I could go back in time.
This is cinematic gold! The colour enhancement and sound quality added gives the viewer a ‘sense-surround’ feeling. I waited until for complete silence to play the film and actually felt I was present in the scenes and among the film’s subjects. Thanks to the makers of this masterpiece, it was like being transported back 80 years!
thank you so much
This is GOLD.
My London I grew up in before it all changed so much. It's great to see some of the places I played as a kid are still there today. It was a beautiful city, I've so many great memories. Many of the houses you saw from the train are still there today and now fetch a fortune. And the main thing, St Paul's dominated the skyline, not like today. It felt so weird seeing it in colour and at a proper speed. What a fantastic job you did on the restoration. Thank you.
It is amazing! Much of it is still the same, especially in a lot of the Parks and Canals
@@Londonechoes Yes it is. One of the only things we don't see these days are the 'parkies' as we used to call them. The parks were always kept so beautiful.
@@TheLondonForever00 Yh, they definitely aren't around as much as they used to be. They're still pretty common in London's Royal Parks though, I'm guessing due to funding
@@Londonechoes Pretty much, the ones in central London were allocated the funds, this was due to it being the nearest to monetary interests, like musuems, art galleries and theatres. Sadly, those London boroughs that weren't classed as high value earners, and didn't make the grade, weren't eligible, faded away as the public footfall declined.. It really became apparent in tbe 90's. If you weren't near a fancied location, you weren't going to get funding. We lost many of our most loved places.
@@TheLondonForever00 Yhh, it’s really sad what’s happened over the years
Lovely to see. I arrived in London in 1980, when it was still mostly a low-rise city. But some of this footage is older than 1945. There are sections from ‘Housing Problems’ by Arthur Elton and Edgar Anstey, filmed in Stepney in 1935, plus bits from ‘London Can Take It’, by Humphrey Jennings, from 1940.
Beautiful, scenes from so many different quarters!
Makes you wonder how the lives of the people in film played out.
As myself, you are a people person. You just can't help wondering how they all were. How they got though the tragic horrors of the previous years, who they lost and who they regained and the relief when they came home. A lot of scars there though, not just in buildings - they can be replaced - but in lives.
Great job. I read a lot of novels and B&W films from this era, your film puts it marvellously into perspective. Thank you.
I was a kid in 50s, seeing I've sampled then and now, i just wish i was back there
Children and the younger generation need to see these videos and be educated.
The left would ban it and replace it with an all black cast
@@David-uf8exblacks live in your mind, rent free lol
My Grandfathers days
He died in 2000
This is a masterpieces of restoration. I think your color balance is better than any i have seen.
I was born in 1941 and lived in a quiet place in Britain practically untouched by the war. I didn't see London until 1948, and only as a visitor. The smell of the vehicle exhausts was overpowering. I remember shopkeepers cutting coupons out of ration books. Not many people were overweight.
Wonderfully restored footage.
Thx!!!
Loondoon still boring
I agree.
Agreed! Its fantastic
Enjoyed that thank you, London is my home, nice to see it without all the high rise buildings 👍🏻
The highrises should be taken down and replaced with the pre-war architectural exteriors
My mom was already shipped off to Canada, pregnant with my brother who died last month, her second child. Our dad was in a hospital, wounded just after D-Day, waiting to be shipped home. Both made the crossing on The Queen Mary: my mom on the deck with 5,000 pregnant war brides wrapped in blankets and my dad, below decks with 5,000 war wounded. I think the first footage is during the war. Everyone is still in uniform. Probably after the end of the European war. Pacific raged on for months afterward.
I absolutely love watching your videos - its like using a time machine to go into the past that was somewhat forgotten!
Amazing! Feels like you’re actually there!
Even crawling out of the rubble...it was a beautiful city. It still is. My favorite place on the planet and I hope I can get back there someday. Great restoration, as always.
Thx!!
You wouldn’t recognise it now I’m afraid
Thanks for this piece of gold.
The terraced houses with smoking chimneys and narrow alleys hit me the most.
Yes, it was a bit beaten-up and a bit rough in places, but it was my capital city, a proper capital city. Now look at it - completely unrecognisable!
NASS! Great work! Thanks for posting this video
thank you very much bro
Love this video. Shows London as it was. The grand buildings, the bombed out buildings and rubble, the cleared up rubble, the crumbling working class neighbourhoods, the poor with babies playing in the dirty streets, the middle class in nice schools, families enjoying a day in the park, the nightlife, all covered in a thick layer of coal-fired smog and soot. But the people look like they want to get on with life after a terrifying war. They seem tired, but there is hope.
“Good ol’ days”……or maybe not?
Attention aux phrases toutes faites, c'était mieux avant ! Ce qui est dur aujourd'hui et qui nous fait souffrir, c'est l’individualisme d’une société occidentale essentiellement communautaire.
Magnifique vidéo de Londres de la fin de la guerre ou les anglais sont restés dignes et dans une résistance exemplaire pendant toute la guerre.
Thank you for making these video's
Thx!
The people look a bit different now.
Great footage. So much has changed, but a lot stays the same. The Victorian terraced housing shown at 4:50 still dominates in UK towns and cities - along with the 1940s semi-detached houses shown at 6:44.
Absolutely I live in a semi detached council home built after WW1. And you can see the tiny add ones which became the bathroom upstairs and kitchen below it. Before that it was pot over the fireplace and an outside toilet. That's how the majority of British lived 💯
As I get older I find it more disturbing to see how quickly the world changes through these videos. You realize that we are still really in the early stages of modern western civilization. I think these restorations are just incredible and I can't imagine in another 30 years what society will look like, or how footage like this will be re-engineered again to let us experience the past.
*late stages
Its also worth pondering on the incredible changes the people in the video had seen in their own lifetimes. Aeroplanes and cars has only been around for 40 years or so. Massive developments in the economy had taken place not to mention two huge wars the likes of which had never been known before. If you get old enough to experience these changes then that is a gift in itself.
I think we’ve lived through the peak and are seeing the decline. Britain is no longer British - to the detriment of the whole world. I long for a return to the world I grew up in before consumerism, globalisation, liberalism and mass immigration destroyed it. The Britishness of this film makes me ache with sadness for what has been lost
Great video nass, amazing footage of the old London, beautiful city 👍👌😀
thank you very much!
What a wonderful video? Dad wouldn’t have been back from evacuation yet. He was whisked off to Cornwall. He was 6 when this was all filmed. Amazing. Thank you for uploading 🙏🏻
Great restoration. Video has depth, looks almost 3d.
Thx
Yes I was thinking that. The restoration is so superiour the best I have ever seen. The sound track is wonderful too, brings this whole film to life. I love it.
That was amazing thank you Nass. It captures London emerging from the war beautifuly.
thank you very much
Fabulous, that's how London used to look
Those slum houses are worth £2 million each now. Happy days!
Всегда смотрю ваши видео! Спасибо Вам, что даете возможность путешествовать во времени😊
Там по-ходу пластиковые окна уже стоят...
Fantastic work!
thank you very much
London today is simply unrecognisable from what it was back then
You obviously do not live in London. What is remarkable from this video is that you recognise almost everything, its astonishing how little its changed. The biggest change is all the mass poverty and squalor have disappeared.
Well of course it is! This was 1945 now its 2024. And its changed for the better. A mix of old and new but still as it was then multi-cultural. Fantastic.
Love my city. Lived here 37 years. Work hard, be nice to people and this city rewards you endlessly ❤
@@davidr7819Tell that to the machete gangs and jihadists
@@mogznwaz 37 years in London and ain’t never met either. Think you’ve overdosed on Reform propaganda
Buckingham Palace solid and breathing dynasties since then. Big traditional old buildings. How many still exists.! Excellent footages of working people,few more sofisticases than others. Families reunited at the table..sorry,did I say at the table ! Is important to keep the optimism ,but the present reality holding us back. Thanks for the fantastic video👏👏👏💐💐💐
thank you very much
Fascinating film to watch, so evocative! Interesting to see the temporary wartime Thames bridge close to Westminster Bridge, I’ve not seen film of that before.
It’s absolutely insane what London was like then to how it is now.
Absolutely brilliant, amazing restoration and thanks so much for sharing it.
Another great restoration - thanks, NASS.
thank you very much
My mother always said how grim, grey and depressed things were after WW2 growing up as a young girl in Birmingham. The government also kept rationing up for quite a long time after too. I bet you however, people were more happier then than some people are today.
i WAS AGED 4 THAT YEAR, AND CAN VIVIDLY REMEMBER V.E DAY. AND THE LATER V.J. DAY. WE LIVED IN KINGSTANDING.
Thank you. Excellent clip - I recognise lots of the south London footage. I was born in 1954.
Wow… what a find… great job NASS!!
almost looks as if they already had a gimbal for filming back then, so smooth
Nicely presented. Great job to whoever put it together.

Amazing beautiful nice video clásico ❤❤❤ full support from Indonesia 🇮🇩 ❤
Would have been interesting to see it back then. Even when I went in the late 80s just out of college it was turning into an international city from immigration.
Outstanding clip! One of your recent best.
Thx!!
An excellent job of restoration/remastering. Well done you, congratulations on a job well done and for the happy memories your short film revived.
Thx!! ;)
very well done. an amazing doco, cheers for showing us.
Thank for sharing this, it is very well restored 😃
Thx!!!
Wow, my parents could have been in there somewhere as teenagers. Some great views and very clear as well.
It looks very similar still.. I was looking for the London Eye 😂 Recognised so many places. Great job on the restoration
thank you very much
Thanks for this - lots of great views. Really interesting at 8:22 to see very little built up at the south end of Waterloo Bridge.
Amazing to have been able to capture all of this in real time & a wonder to see it like this now. 🎥 ❤
Beautiful work as always NASH....so interesting to see the changes around Buckingham Palace.
Till next time...take care!🙏
Hi!!! Thx!!
So much reminds me of being a child, particularly playing in your school uniform and shorts. Often with loose tie and aertex or grey thick cotton shirt. Never understood how the girls kept their ankle socks white most of the time. Do not go to London now as friends there have warned me away. Too sad. Excellent production thanks so much.
Everything was so orderly back then, running like clockwork.
How do you know?where you there?
@@torcik That depends, were you?
Life's not that neat, it never has been.
@@Madonnalitta1 I’m judging strictly by what’s seen on the video, and city life in London looked far more orderly back in the day than it does now.
Used to visit with mum and dad in the 60's by train every year 2-3 times up from Portsmouth......We had bombsites everywhere too....the appearance didn't change much from the 40's to 60's it seems.....
I saw no obesity. 😮
There was rationing then
There was a really fat baby at 4:02 my god he was enormous. What was in that breast milk?
Fantastic video post Worl War!! best regards from Chile!! Thanks very much!!
Thanks
Mesmerising! Words fail me!
My nan on my mother's side was 21, my grandfather older than that, on my dad's side my Grandma was 6, what a beautiful time machine, thank you nass
Clean, tidy, orderly, well mannered, a beauty and a jewel to behold. A shining beacon and exemplar of civilization.
Wow amazing
Strange how it simultaneously seems so familiar and yet so long ago. Some beautiful footage, wonderful camerawork. Love the sequence starting at 5.48.
Poor old County Hall, it survived the Luftwaffe but then had Ken Livingstone to look forward to (JOKE!).
The London of my grandad and grandma born Poplar 1910 and 1912 respectively . My 87 year old dad remembers how fantastic London was even as a very small boy . In their wildest nightmare they couldn’t imagine what our politicians would have done to the city ,let alone the country.
fascinating! the smoke and the back to back slums though. very little footage of the bomb damage.. Actually my mother is now 92 and this is al within her living memory.
brilliant ......just love this stuff
Thank you ....
Very good colorization results! Which colorizer is this? It's not DeOldify
Even just after the war it looks a lot cleaner and more welcoming than it does now. Sadly lost forever.
One thing i enjoy in London is looking out of a train window at the cityscape, and i really enjoyed from 4:40 as I realised i've never seen really old footage of London from a train journey. I'm not sure exactly where the journey is taking place, but the views seem strangely familiar, but slightly off, with the usual modern day sights - tower blocks, dual carriageways, etc- all missing
Great work. Although I live a world away I have walked past many of those places quite often. Fascinating to see how much society has changed.
Thx!
Makes me sad because it’s certainly not changed for the better
Actually a patchwork collection of short clips from the late 30s to latter 40s. The movie Honolulu is showing at a cinema in one clip: released in 1939. Some clips show American GIs; others recent bomb damage (1940 or 1944). Others again postwar housing projects...
And look at the state of society now. Really makes you think.
@1GlowingJarcurrency debasement allows for social programs which allows for the wrong kind of people to come and further allows for their non integration.....if you were dependent on a job to provide for your family you'd soon integrate
@1GlowingJarthe evil globalists
Oh, by the way, keep up the great work!
Thx!!
Nice video 🔥
This is the best London old wartime video I’ve seen. It’s a Time Machine.
Is time linear? If you take a train from Paris to London, Paris still exists even though you physically arrive in London. Here we have photographic evidence of the past. Do these people and places still exist in the past? NASS, I cannot express my gratitude for you bring these films to life! I would give anything to talk to my Grandfather about his experience in WW2. Sadly, he isn't with us anymore. This helps me to understand a bit of what he might have experienced as he was sent to England in May of '44 with his unit aboard the Queen Mary, and later France and Germany!❤
Six years of war and everyone is still making an effort to dress well and elegantly.
Great, thanks for this. Some of the residential flats look very 50’s design and part of the post war building boom so not sure if it’s all ‘45.
Nass, Great video as usual. At 3:52 a daughter's father sits down to enjoy a meal with the family. At 1:27 maybe some ruins from the War from the German bombings in 1940! Thanks for the upload.
hii thank you very much
brilliant to watch thank you
thank you very much
Extraordinary, thank you.
thank you very much
This footage gives me Hercule Poirot vibes
Poirot was set in the '20s and early '30s. Try Foyle's War.
You just can't help wondering how they all were. How they got though the tragic horrors of the previous years, who they lost and who they regained and the relief when they came home. A lot of scars there though, not just in buildings - they can be replaced - but in lives.
Fantastic footage of Englands capital city the atmosphere looks great, i know it was just after the war but it still looks and seems to feel so much better than it does today.
BRILLIANT
Good footage.
I wish I could just step into the screen.
Old Royal Naval College at 2.46. Just behind the pillar the rectangular structure was protection for George II's statue. At 6.49 Greenwich Park and the sequence ended at 7.03 with St Alfege Church
Nice video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thx!!
Don’t forget the grime, the soot, the poverty and the smog that killed thousands of people during the 50’s.
I’m sure the chemtrails kill plenty more now
Those small terraced houses would be worth a fortune today of they still existed
Wow, it’s amazing to see the huge number of buildings destroyed by bombing that people just walk around, standing next to other buildings that survived intact. And sad to see so much that did survive the war is not still here today.
Fantastic
This brilliant montage proves that you cannot destroy ideas and civilization. Unless you undermine it through cultural revolution.
Glimpses of some lovely art deco architecture , and most of the people dressed with such style, unlike today.
