dee jay hopefully, but the schools soon change that, remember the council are a hard faced lot, the system does not want it do they, i think there musy be a way.but glad others feel as me and my son feell. i lived in corringham born in 1949 and still saw this and reaped the benifits.
It all ended in the late 1990's. I'm a Blackcountry man and that was when our industry started to be destroyed. I had a haulage business and there were many around, British owned. Dudley used to have an agricultural show at Himley Hall. Stourbridge had it's own hospital. We had a local livestock market. And an abbatoir. Marsh and Baxter's were well known sausage and meat purveyors known the world over. Stourbridge was famous for it's cut glass. Everything has gone. Nothing left of what I've just described.
I'm backcountry as well, great bridge high street died when they built another Asda, shut the market after the pandemic, one butchers left, all barbers, west brom shite, dudley shite, merry hill going the same way, I miss the 60s and 70s when you could get everything in the high street, even a wedding dress as well as food, the markets were brilliant, I miss those days, started going to Blackheath and that's changed over the years, to many charity shops
Also we had a devis, so by our school, my brother was 3rd generation at horsely piggott that got closed, now houses, but they said they still got a good order book, glass works houses, hale and hale and jeavons houses, gas works houses, all the factories that employed men have all gone, no wonder why I'm depressed, I'm 59 my son is 17 (to old to have him) he doesn't know what job to do, because there are no jobs round here anymore
That was just wonderful,thank you so much. As a New Yorker I also live out in a country town. This is what made me want to come and see your country ,not cities like London. I have returned several times over the years and always to the country........Peace,pj
Lovely to read it ,the help we had during WW2 from USA and many other countries saved us Brits ,us oldies never forget ,because as kids we were there (born 1939) When we saw a American serviceman in the street we used to run after ,got any gum chum ,we used to shout and nearly always they would give us gum or other sweets ,they always generous to us kids . On another compliment to our USA friends , the USA is still the bread basket of the world,and is freely given ,rgds JRL .
Boston 1943....the year I was born.....just down the road .... Fishtoft Road. The house was called Romanica. My Grandfather, Capt. Charles Deakin, the local Dock and Harbour Master lived next door with his wife Lily. Their house was called Finlandia. The two houses in those days were quite isolated. I think there is a large pea factory opposite the houses now! So good to see the little piece of England where I was born! I still have childhood memories of the market in the town centre.
always make me wonder when people say that. simpler times? we live in an age now where people can have four children as a single parent and live off benefits without issue or challenge. All of their children fully equpped with iPads, iPhones, Xbox and PlayStation. If anything, life can be in England now, blissfully ignorant - wasting life away on pointless technology and free games, where a large part of society considers itself "entitled" NOT to work and that they should have everything for free with little to no effort. Films like this certainly do have something of a romantic feel to them,. but then of course it's in context to both the times and the visual aesthetics too. The 1940's was popular for its picturesque landscape, basically the beautiful. The result is that its easy for us to look back at this stuff and see just that, the beautiful. And not the harsh realities of it all really.
Time is just a blast. This is barely 80 years ago and we see it as grey and distant but in 80 years time it's how we'll be looked at. All of us being forced to be satisfied and believe we are at the pinnacle of our advancement when that'll never be true.

My home town I remember most othose fishing smacks ,and lived alongside south qauy ,I was a Boston fisherman beam trawling for pink shrimps in the wash,wonderfull memories of my childhood in the 1950s.
Interesting snippets in this film: the factory girls canning vegetables didn't have germ-free space suits/gloves on, just grabbed handfuls of beans and shoved 'em in the cans! Also the workers from outside the area going into the fields to pick the produce, as opposed to the East Europeans who come to do it now. "Yes, we're a healthy lot!" Yes because people weren't eating rubbish then. Everyone looked just the right size, no obesity. How different was life then, slower paced.
The only reason, why the townies were able to go to the fields and do the jobs there, was because they had been doing them since they were kids, and were working with their parents instead of going to school(to make ends meet), so that they could pick the crops, but they were not good at reading and writing or any other thing that needed education, and that’s why I know so many people in the sixties/early seventies, who were the first in their families history that went to university......... And I for one think that our kids are better off being educated, than they are learning how to do back breaking work for a pittance(they got less as kids than adults), just to make the landowners richer than they already were at that time, and this is the best thing about leaving the bad old times, of where the majority of the people were ignorant because of the lack of education behind, and if they are ignorant now, it’s not because they have never had a chance of being educated, simply because their family was poor.!.!.!.!.!.
I agree, today dispite gloves on hands for canning we are not germ free, epidemics have increased even after 1918 Spanish flu like " Ebola" " " Avian flu " " H1N1" " Foot and mouth disease " and now the world swamping Pandemic " Coronavirus ".Which has killed more Americans than the second world war.
Well done BFC for allowing everyone to see these films and the vital history that goes with them - unlike some bodies who try to restrict people from seeing and hearing productions because they want to make a fast buck and sell small extracts at ridiculous prices..
I enjoyed that very much, what would my life had been like in 1943, 77 years ago in 2020, it was only 13 very long years before I was born in 1956, makes me wonder now the life of my late parents in WWII.
Interesting to see what my local film studio, Merton Park Studios', near Wimbledon, were producing during the war, doing their bit for the war effort. .Post-war, they made lots of crime films, notably ones narrated by Edgar :Lustgarten.
I was born in Birmingham in 1941. My dad was a driver on the LMS railway. He and my mum were often criticised by neighbours wanting to know why he was not off fighting. But railway crews faced their own dangers.
A hugely responsible and necessary job back then, fraught with its own dangers of bombing and transporting of dangerous loads. as well as all the critical ones of food etc...we wouldn't have got very far without the railways!
We went to Lavenham and saw part of Lowland village. So I asked how this short film could be seen. I was told here on youtube. I think this gradually changed but for me it was very start of the 1980s that I saw the greatest change and not always for the better either!!
I lived near Guildford in Surrey, it changed a lot over the years, no more cattle market and the old brewery was knocked down a sports center was built to replace the indoor Victorian one. Lovely town.
I clocked the Boston Stump fairly early on, but found it interesting they never said the name of the place in this film. Thought the big reveal was coming at the end, but no... "In a place called.... ...Country Town!"
There’s not many kids of 10 around hear who doesn’t know how to use a telephone well today there’s not many kids under 10 who doesn’t own a telephone. How times have changed but allass not for the better

Nice to see reminders of what people no longer value ; not because I've any hope that they'll return , but , just as a permanent record of comparison against which today's slobs may be compared. Some examples should be : smartly dressed , ( make that clothed , as well ) , bodies , nearly all slim , with the skins not sheepishly asking us to remember they need to breathe , by peeking out between any body area accidentally-uncovered by tattoos ; no f-ing and b-ing as part of the conversational daily exchange , included in the commentary ; REAL natives , of mostly country , and some town , doing between play , purposeful things , rather than venturing out to buy another ripped pair of trousers , or an object they don't need , to add to their unworn and unused objects at home , which themselves haven't satisfied , etc.. Thanks very much for uploading it.

Relish these films before the Wokists have them removed; lament the loss, despite its hardships, of a much happier and meaningful time and wake up to the fact that for all the technological advances, we are living among the ashes of civilisation.
So you’re complaining about not being able to see films like the film you’re commenting on? I certainly agree that you’re not ‘woke’ but it seems possible that you aren’t clear on what that means.

It was actually better then, and although medicine was not as technologically advanced, there was stiil a wealth of experience. Access was the same day at your GP, with usually a morning and evening surgery, and they made regular house calls including at night - you didn't wait months, or longer for treatment. A&E was exactly that, used for accidents and emergency only, so largely empty most of the time, and not blocked solid through being used as a substitute for the GP surgery. Other than for accidents, patients didn't telephone for ambulances - the first call was on the GP, who would visit the patient and decide if they needed to go to hospital, and would order the ambulance. Treatment was of it's time, of course, but there was no waiting, which is a massive downside of today's service. The treatments are far more advanced, but that is of no particular benefit if you can't access them.
I was three and well remember the 40's, 50's and 60's. Emigrated to Australia in 1972, I could see that the Common Market (as it was called then) was going to end in tears. Thank goodness people woke up and voted to leave the EU - that (EU) was a debacle and a waste of money!
This is Boston in Lincolnshire see how much it has changed and not for the better.

Oh no, how could they have managed (sarcasm). They did just fine without those things and they led much healthier and fuller lives.
It was actually better then, and although medicine was not as technologically advanced, there was stiil a wealth of experience. Access was the same day at your GP, with usually a morning and evening surgery, and they made regular house calls including at night - you didn't wait months, or longer for treatment. A&E was exactly that, used for accidents and emergency only, so largely empty most of the time, and not blocked solid through being used as a substitute for the GP surgery. Other than for accidents, patients didn't telephone for ambulances - the first call was on the GP, who would visit the patient and decide if they needed to go to hospital, and would order the ambulance. Treatment was of it's time, of course, but there was no waiting, which is a massive downside of today's service. The treatments are far more advanced, but that is of no particular benefit if you can't access them.
Blimey, I was 2 then.
I was three and well remember the 40's, 50's and 60's. Emigrated to Australia in 1972, I could see that the Common Market (as it was called then) was going to end in tears. Thank goodness people woke up and voted to leave the EU - that (EU) was a debacle and a waste of money!

Easy to see how inbreeding might have been a problem - certainly the 2016 referendum result from Boston points in that direction ...
Sounds like a lot of cope.
Well, look who lives in Boston now - very few would resemble those in the film.
