      we should still build things to last. we must abandon the mentality of planned obsolescence at all cost. We love to criticize our ancestors for being greedy, but they weren't so greedy that they sold products designed to fail - often injuring the consumers.
      we need artisans, engineers, repairmen and tradesmen like never before. and YES we CAN afford it. think how much money would be saved if we weren't constantly replacing junk with more junk. and we all know the origin of this junk..... it's a five letter word that starts with a C and ends with an A.

      I was going to point this out but you’ve saved me the trouble. It’s not entirely true (as the uploader states) that Victorian women had no rights. Certainly the situation was horrible in comparison with now. In 1883, in Nottingham, my great-great grandmother had her violent brutal husband arrested. The court found in her favour! She wasn’t a wealthy woman, in fact she was very poor.

They may not have had shimano gears but the bicycle on the left has a lever on the right handlebar, could it be, could it be...? Whatever it is they are advanced pieces of kit. The foot-pedals, which look contemporary, tell you that they had an eye to efficiency, the front rake is good and the trail is long which would give stability over rough ground. Beautiful.

    photos, but can understand how some people prefer the b/w and sepia toned photos as well. At least the methods we use these days don’t result in the colour obliterating the original b/w photos for all time. I find that

    Thanks for this trip down Memory Lane. I was born in Whitechapel, London where Jack the Ripper roamed at night in the 1880s. I'm always interested in seeing what London looked like in the 19th century. The photo @ 2.12 is not 1900 and it's not a Victorian family; judging by the fashion, it's 1920s.

    Interesting to see these in colour. I think some of the fashions are Edwardian and not Victorian. The photo of Queen Victoria shows what a miserable thing she was - facially she reminds me of an ex Prime Minister - Harold Wilson. Cycling for women gave them enormous freedom to get out and about. Although the cross bar was lowered to allow for the voluminous skirts and a decorous way of mounting and dis-mounting, women started to wear more suitable clothing. So much traffic in London even then. Love the young lad with the delivery goat.

      Well see, it's like this. In the 1950s and 60s, there was a massive labour shortage in Britain. Not enough Brits to do the work, a bit like now. A man named Enoch Powell invited people from the Caribbean to come and work in the factories and they did in their thousands. Then quite a few Africans followed.
      Now after brexit, there aren't enough EU people to come and do various jobs [and their economies are improving significantly anyway]. So Mr Sunak has gone to India for a trade deal and there's talk of lots of visas for Indian citizens to come and do jobs the Brits don't want to do. There'll be thousands coming soon. Like Thatcher said at the end of her time; funny old world isn't it? 🤣🤣

    Just one small quibble: you should change the title of this video to Victorian Britain. For example, you show pictures of Ireland as it was in 1900. Ireland was never England (in the same way as Scotland and Wales were never England) but it was part of Great Britain at the time. Modern day Ireland did not gain independence until 1922 and Northern Ireland, of course, is still part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
    The "Great" refers to the geographical spread of the United Kingdom rather than being some sort of boast.

    so many beautiful photos that i didnt see before, but the years mentioned on most of them are completely wrong and its not the first video of yours that i see with these mistakes. Maybe this is not important for some people, but then again, why would you write the name of the period under the video? Its such a pity that there is no accuracy regarding correct times for these photos. The one that makes me laugh the most is at 2,16 min where it says victorian family when in fact, the photo must have been taken around 1918-1919 and the era was not even edwardian anymore (King Edward VI, son of queen Victoria who rained until 1910). Victorian era was famous for very tight corsets and long to the ground dresses and completely different hats shapes. It was only during the WWI and after the war that shorter dresses started to appear and corsets disappeared. Oh, and the last photo, is clearly from 1920s. Hair is short in a bob and their hats and costumes are from this era, not victorian :)).

    7:53 Again... this is definitely NOT Brighton Beach, which has a very pebbley beach, and has had for millions of years! It's hard to say where this one is/was though... as it seems to be just a short 'jetty' pier. Or maybe it just wasn't finished. Or maybe it just doesn't exist any more. But one thing is for certain... it's definitely not at Brighton.
    My best guess for this is Felixstowe Pier (going by the look of the pier itself), although there are serious problems with the shape of the coastline then. So, I really don't know.
