*I hope you will enjoy this film* Don't forget to *subscribe* and also watch the other 200+ videos on my channel! *Please press the CC captions button to read the locations while the film plays* and please *don't* comment that "Everybody in this film is now dead". I have seen that comment now about 1000 times under my films... So cliché!

Wish the country still looked like this. Only when everything has been ground down can we see what has been truly lost.

The gate system at 03:24 fascinating

Watching this made me quite emotional... What have we done to our world.

How beautiful England was. So calm, peaceful and serene.

Electric trolleys, bicycles, and sheep for lawnmowers-- we're now trying to get back what we had 110 years ago.

I've never - ever seen anything like that some gate before . It's genius .

For what was and is no more, I could weep.

Wow, Thank you so much, This old world we see wasn't that long ago but is so so different from any thing today, what a contrast.

The “some gate” is the Stepping Gate in Charlecote Park, Charlecote House and Park still very much exists and belongs to to the National Trust. Closed through Covid but hopefully will be opening again very soon.

A video like this certainly makes one feel that the world was very much more beautiful one hundred years ago.

This is beautiful. It is the England I imagine... even as I live in the England of 2021.

This must be such a blessing for English folks to see.

Beautiful, but heartbreaking. Stratford -Upon-Avon has been turned into a Theme Park, and much of the countryside has been lost to Motorways and the High-Speed 2 vanity project

I am the first brazilian to comment in English, what a beautiful image, one of the stages of the great writer Shakespeare. Wherever he went and created his great works.

Hauntingly beautiful music and scenery. So evocative and poignant. So serene. Little did the people going about their daily lives know what lay ahead of them. Those poor young men would probably have gone to fight in the first world war. The young boys would have fought in the second world war. Unimaginable grief. Thank you Rick for your work. I am so glad your chanel found me. From Dublin.

This is wonderful. Thank you. England before the collapse of civilization

Crazy to see people just living their lives over 100 years ago and knowing every single one them is no longer with us. We all will eventually be there one day as nothing lasts forever 😔 If only the buildings and castles could talk ❤️

KZfaq never ceases to amaze me. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible amazing quality film of a bygone period. Obviously it was coloured at a later stage, but whoever did it was a true expert.

Beautiful! The colour makes these scenes truely alive. Thank you!

The young boys are fascinated by the camera, so perfect it almost looks like a movie set

This is why they call it the good old days, a time when the world was a more simple place and respect and decency ruled. Not saying everything was perfect, what is? But today’s world is rather shocking in comparison

I live in Stratford so watching this was amazing! Loved the curiosity from the young boys watching whoever was filming.

This is lovely I was born in Stratford upon Avon and my parents and grandparents worked the land and infact my father has just retired at 82 and by the special gate I think it could be charlecote park it's a national trust place now, this is very interesting this is really nice

I find these restored, colorized, films fascinating. It really makes history come alive for me. Thanks for this.

Great film , thanks for taking the time to do this.. On all these old films it always amazes me how clean the streets were. The effects of no fast food waste and people really caring about the places they lived in.

I would give anything to have lived at that TIME of LIFE.....People Dressed so BEAUTIFUL and LIFE had to be a little more slow than the way we live today....The men crossing over the gate the FIRST ONE OMG how HANDSOME that Young man was and the other were also BEAUTIFUL and so well DRESSED...I just LOVE seeing how life used to BE......I do not know WHY but when I see this they make me what to cry 😢.....

So beautiful. A reminder that things don't always get better and better.

Not sure why this popped up in recommended, but I have lived in the area (Stratford-upon-Avon and Wellesbourne) for almost 40 years. And its fascinating to see all these local places in the past! Thank you for uploading. Awesome video!

Absolutely fantastic, and the music. Thanks from Australia

Marvellous. Thanks for sharing.

Back when England was .... well, England. R.I.P. Old Blighty. We miss you greatly.

Tancks for your films.From Spain.🌍

I would like to have a conversation with the people in this film, to understand their thoughts about life and the world.

Just Brilliant, thank you....

I have family living in this area and the video is amazing to watch…how beautiful England was!

Something wonderful always strikes me in these old films. All these people are long dead. And soon, so will you and I. Get living today. Don't engage in activities that divide us. Ignore the noise of the media and pursue the things that make you happy. This life is short but sweet and every day above the dirt is a good one. The void of infinite oblivion is forever. All we have is now.

The film was edited perfectly . Congrats mate for display it.

Beautiful, and irenic. I'm sure their daily lives were challenging like ours, but man, everything was so beautiful.

Such pristine roads, clear of all disfigurements !

I was born in Warwickshire, it is "home" to me. This video was utterly delightful as I saw places that I know. I am amazed at how little has actually changed in the parts that I know best, especially Stratford. The scenes outside the Birthplace, the grammar school and Anne Hathaway's could have been taken from a recent film set in the period. The deer park at Charlecote was instantly recognisable as was the view along the Avon towards Holy Trinity. I did not need to use my imagination to see myself there in 1910. People believe that this country is now a worse place, yet whilst it is not perfect, much is better than during 1910. Grinding poverty was commonplace. People died of diseases now controlled, or from working conditions now regulated. I certainly would not want to give up my central heating, double glazing, fridge, freezer, nor Internet to live in the rose-tinted times that never really existed. My grandparents lived then, and after the FWW moved into the house that is now mine. If I could go back and show them life today I'm sure that they would choose my version of the house instead of theirs. As Gladys Knight says at the start of the song "Try to Remember": Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the good old days, right Everybody, the good old days, the good old days Well, let's talk about the good old days Come to think of it as, as bad as we think they are these will become the good old days for our children So many look back, usually through rose-tinted glasses, and think the past is better than it was. In some ways it was, in many ways it was not. Much as I enjoy watching a video like this, getting a buzz of "feel-good" from it, I'm very happy to have the benefits of today. I certainly would not want to be transported back.

Thank you. Such beautiful rehabbed footage. Well done. So romantic to be transported to a time before major technology when people talked and went for strolls in their finest clothes. I am almost envious even though I know they had their challenges. Light to all. 🙏💜🕊

This is so amazing, great choice on the music too, very mystical feeling. How time is such an interesting thing

Beautiful

Just to be able to step into the screen and take in the scenery and the peace that was then, no noisy cars, buses, trains or airplanes, a few yes maybe early vehicles but non compared to now, just the birds and bees of nature, pure bliss.

These videos are pure gold... I will never get tired of watching them, everything seems so calm, beautiful and different, it's like seeing another completely different world. Thank you so much for your work! If it wasn't for this channel and others, I wouldn't be able to see these coloured and restored old videos.

Enchanting it's like being in a beautiful dream. I wonder if the people in this video realized just how fortunate they were living in such a magnificent place & at a very special time.

I just found you completely by accident, and it’s made my day ! My dear old Grandfather was born in Warwick , he used to tell me many stories of his younger days in the area including visits to the cape ( possibly a pub near water , I believe) ..... how wonderful those way gone times were for him . He later went to work for Vickers Armstrongs as an Engineer throughout WW2 with his sons . I’m now in my seventies, so this really is a real delight to see . Many thanks for bringing life into my memories. 🙏🏼❤️

What a beautiful video of our green and fair land, or once was.

My grandpa was 1yo and my grandma (his "future" wife) was about to be born yet... Unbeliavable, thank you so much for upload ❤️❤️❤️

A beautiful reproduction. You are so talented and your channel gives so much joy. Thankyou again from the Midlands of England.

This was phenomenal. I don’t have the words that will express the emotions you provoked. I was lamenting about a distant place, in a storied history back in time and I was longing for days in places I’ve never lived. That’s an accomplishment of some of our greatest film makers. I liked the virtual excursion of a tiny segment of British history. If I may, “good show”.

This is so wonderful! And the song makes it even more nostalgic

What an idyllic world it looks. Wonderful, as you say!

Beautiful. So much knowledge and craftmanship in buildings and gardens and clothes. Lost today. The carefull thoughtfulness and tidy work at no great cost.

It seems so simple, quiet and peaceful back then, also too it reminds me of some of the old paintings of famous artists

I enjoy all your videos it takes me into the past that i never lived, it looks so tranquil and at ease, no BS that we are currently witnessing and no Tech either, i would love to time travel back to the late 19th or early 20th century.

‘Some Gate’ is still there and the same design, still used today, to walk alongside Charlecote Garden Centre 😃

Proud to be born and bred in Warwickshire.... Super film Thank you

Excellent colouring of the black and white original. Thank you, a window through time to a more peaceful England.

Beautiful, so rich in history, thank you for sharing

How peaceful and unhurried it all seems!

Starting to see motor cars; a lot less people. The 20th century changed civilisation so much, & our brains still haven't caught up! Thank you so much for posting this 👍

So pure and clean landscape!

And one day people will watch videos of life in 2021 and wonder how it was so beautiful back then.

How peaceful it all seems without the wholesale invasion of the internal combustion engine. The "gate" at 3:22 is called a "clapper stile" if I remember my "I-Spy in the Countryside" book correctly - you wouldn't want to let go of the "clappers" when you were astride it, that's for sure! The caption writer at 4:11 wants to brush up on his grammar "Grammer School". I ask you! The young lady outside Marie Corelli's house at 6:24 looks a bit "fast", no wonder the lady in the black dress is having a stern word with her! The location??ed at:4:46 is the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, rather than the ancient building which is captioned as such. It was built in 1879, but destroyed by fire in 1926. Fotunately the Library and Art Gallery survived, and the treasures including Shakespeare first folios, and historic paintings kept therein were saved. The rebuilt theatre reopened in 1932.

I clicked this to see the fashions, and was delighted to get the surprise of seeing Marie Corelli's home! I really did not expect that, but how wonderful!

Yes, our old way of life was taken from us, and it can be hard to watch footage like this and realise just how much we have lost, but do not forget, we can get this back, there is always hope.

KZfaq needs a ❤️ button for uploads such as these, rather than a generic thumbs-up.

I'm not entirely convinced we've made what could be loosely termed as "progress".

I was borne here ,and at 76 just moved back after living in USA Cornwall and lots of other places in U.K. .l love it and these old phots

Much beauty here to be seen. Thank you for showing us! There are some aspects of these times that are to be envied. However, not all is worse in the 21st century. For example, that gate is quirky and clever, but inaccessible to wheelchairs or prams. Disabled people now have a lot more freedom to enjoy the outdoors, never mind the ostracism etc. I also noticed the finery of the pedestrians. The poor are not featured (hidden). I think there is much to be thankful and much to lament about different times in history. Let's do that as we try to navigate this challenging time in our history, looking with hope towards our future and our children's future.

When England was still beautiful England!

God knows, i’ve seen so many colorized films, that have been enhanced, over time and yet that were very well done, but never as good as this one. As opposed to some other colorized movie films, appearing to glossy and leaving to much of a tinted purple reflexion shade around the images, the colors on this motion picture seem so revealingly beautiful, but most of all very natural. Thank you. Johnny, Montréal, Canada.

This is amazing to watch. I worked in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2014 and when I walked to work I always wondered what it used to look like 100+ years ago. Thank you for this ❤

Thanks for this wonderful footage. I enjoyed it very much, really. Warwick is in the middle of mid-England, like Stratford -upon-Avon. And there were HALF as many people and virtually no motorcars, which makes for a lot of peace and quiet, and space. Life ran at a leasurely pace unless you had to work for a living in a coal mine or something. It was the most wonderful time ever, if and only if you belonged to the upper-class.

The algorithm paints the black costumes black, but it paints the trams purple. Why is that? It's fantastic to see Guy's Cliffe, when it had not fallen into disrepair yet, and before it burnt down. What a magnificent, magical place !! Same goes for the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, before the fire of 1926.

Amazing footage, so poignant only 4 years until WW1. Nice vehicles love the motor bike and sidecar on the bridge and that gate !!!! want one of those. 🥰👍

Thank you so much. Stunning. Watching your upload was an marvelous but also, if I may, a sad experience. That is an England that has gone forever

I'm so glad these films have been saved and to a large extent restored. So lovely. Thank you.

Oh wow! Thank you for this video it's simply wonderful and so relaxing...

1910 was the year when my grandmother was born. (She has passed away in 2002.) This was Great Britain`s most glorious period.

It's like a beautiful moving painting.

Wonderful ~ I love watching "the good old days" ~ my grandparents' era √√√ Thank you for having posted this.

Wonderful countryside! And not overcrowded yet!...

Incredible and to think that this is less than 300 years after Shakespeare's death.

Marvelous. So very peaceful, truly a lost world.

Rick. These videos are the best I've ever seen. Absolutely mind blowing. Thanks very much indeed!

Very beautyfull 👍🏻 thanks for all the work you have done.

Stunning video, l wish we could go back in time when life liked so idilic, slow and easier than today. Thank you so much for sharing your video. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Wonderful. Love the colourisation and the gate at 3.24.

I have been looking for old footage of Leamington for a long time. I moved here from Ireland in 1994. This footage reminds me a lot of home.

I was born and bred in Sona and this is better than what I was taught or even saw - photos are awesome, hope (with locals) to render truthful the comments.

Thanks from Brazil❤👏🏼

Breathtaking! Thank you❤

Guys Cliffe. Forever in my heart.

All those sheep will be dead now! Another lovely film, a joy to watch, they transport you back to a much different era. A beautiful area which l have visited, and thankfully is still lovely today. Thanks again.

The gate alone is worth a subscription.

So beautiful, he sighed wistfully. And Stratford today..........

thanks for the upload...such times, we never knew what we had til its gone
