Breaks my heart to see those old lamps gutted and electrified. 😟🥺
Ah, the good old days when wooden crates and wood shavings were used for shipping items.
It's so weird that my father was 11 years old when they still taking down Victorian street lighting.
Old is gold
Nowadays we long for the 60s
Lovely town is Chester.
A much simpler time in our rich history,
Beautiful video!
Loving it! 🙏❤️
In the early to mid 2020’s, people long for the yesteryear of the 1950’s through 1980’s, which seemed to be good times when life was less complicated than it is in the 2020’s!
How England used to be.
wow look at Chester back then really has changed a lot
Those good ol' days 💖
Bloody... Right
Me gustan ese tipo de faroles
“We’re intruders” hmm 🤔
Lol what a fantasy world, the era of gaslights was not a leisurely time, people were working themselves finger to bone doing 12-15 hour days, and the fairy tale references, those gas lights would have made the streets pre-1960s extremely dark and dangerous. There’s a reason Jack the Ripper operated in poorly lit areas at night, I’m just saying.
No face mask so the old guy grinding the copper lamp is breathing in Copper Oxide and most likely Lead paint.
The reason within is the reason we race ism not knowing who to hop with both ways will still be in ru not knowing is in..confuse when all are welcum from worst to worst... i side King mentality! You command all from high low!!😂
