​@@user-ny3kv7lk2uBORING ...boring..boring you need to demand your money back from whatever university you went to !!! The industrial revolution started in the UK and much was made from that around the world as the UK dragged countries into the future , many countries are fortunate that the UK took them under their wing because the alternative could have been Belgium for example and I'm sure the people of Congo could tell you about life under them !!! You have been taught a left wing view of the world ...... I'm extremely sorry for that ...🤮🤮🤮🤮

@@mjh5437 Dumb comment as opposed to the reflective comment of user-xc1fo2sh1c who is referring to the soulless blocks and the disappearance of all those alley ways which I remember well.

I too remember all those alleyways,I was a City office boy in the 50s,so sad it is all gone to be replaced by soleless tower blocks, and all the people I knew have gone.

Heartbreaking isn't it, but I guess one should never go back to a place after having left it for years. My Father died 43 years ago, but I remember him coming home one day and saying that he had seen a man standing by the railing near Gardener's Corner, Aldgate. The man had tears running down his face, so my Dad went over to him and asked if he could be of help he told my Dad that his family had emigrated when he was a boy and he had finally had the time and the money to return, but he didn't recognise anywhere@@mikerandall7571

@@Mounhas True comment more like .

Imagine when people can look back through their family photo album in high res pics and videos in 3 centuries time. Technology is wild. It's a great time to be alive, my friend.

Most beautiful structures only seem beautiful to people hundreds of years later. When they first re- built St Paul’s Cathedral after the 1666 fire almost everybody thought it was the ugliest building in London.

Honestly most modern buildings in UK have already been destroying old classics building in London. Soooo I am not surprise about it 😒🙁

@@seanpetaia Not true. The only time old classic buildings in London were destroyed was during the bombing in WW2. Britain has had a programme of preserving Listed Buildings for many decades, even a relatively modern building such as Battersea Power Station was preserved.

@@gweilospur5877 yes, but when they were planning to put new houses up, they demolished perfectly good homes and buildings, so there is no excuse there.

@@Alfie-ft3bx Things can’t stay the same forever. Nobody would demolish “perfectly good” buildings for no reason, it wouldn’t make sense financially.

You need a little violin to play a sad tune to go along with your woffle

Yes, there was zero white privilege for the workers

​@@clintoncyrilvoss4287 Read The People of the abyss by Jack London , this should enlighten you as to what life was like for the working class in Victorian London.

My family were working class too. They weren't miserable.

We read a lot and that's why we don't get on our high horses about the past which we cannot change. Much reading and study has made us balanced, critical thinkers. On the other hand, there are millions of people in the world today who are undergoing unimaginable suffering. What are you doing for them? And what will those in the future say about you? Will they say you lived in selfish luxury, and did nothing to help those in need, while you moaned and wind about the past injustices? Or will they look back with respect on the fact that you made a difference in those poor people's lives?

@trumble Well said!

Yeah! I say bring back the Romans.

Britain and its elites were living off the wealth of ‘ their’ empire. While the working classes of Britain lived in poverty. Rose- tinted glasses eh?😂

I much prefer the newer London to the Victorian version. That Victorian city was full of crime and social injustice. Workhouses were common. Charles Dickens was sent to one at the corner of Chandos and Bedford at the age of nine because his family could not afford to feed him. But aside from that hideous side of Victorian London, I love seeing modern as well as older buildings all mixed up. It is visually a much more interesting city than it used to be. I love everything from the Gherkin to the Art Deco Oakwood station and am so glad they are in a city that also has the Royal Exchange and the Actors Church.

@@artistjoh There is more crime in London now than in the 1800s!!!! Most of it by foreigners of many kinds.

Ah, so your old ancestors were children some time in the past. Amazing!

pointless sarcasm:- some critters are a total waste of skin.@@gweilospur5877

If a child today is born of a 17 year old then that baby’s grandparent might only be in their early 30s, whereas you and I have long last grandparents, may they rest in peace. My Grandmother was born in 1894, Grandad a few years earlier. Although, we lost them when I was 11 then 16, It is amazing that I remember them fondly and have lots of memories of our family together and good old fashioned photo’s with which to reminisce. Having them around seems like yesterday. Lovely memories. My one regret is that I just really wish I’d asked them more about their own history. Just think, Queen Victoria ruled when our Grandparents were alive!

At that time we were occupying and exploiting countless other countries and that’s how we got rich. Accepting some immigrants today is the least we should do.

No idea what you mean, you make no sense. I think women would largely disagree. As would the poorer and more downtrodden people etc. Victorian life was not the romantic bulldust shown or strongly implied here by BS.

​@@angge4261They mean the victoriana in the photos will now be a minority in the big cities

@@A2Z1Two3 ahh. I see. I think/hope I have the gist.

not to mention so many incorrect captions and locations.

And describing people as "poverty-stricken" when they've got freshly starched aprons on... they'll be turning in their graves!

@@drewmurray2783 well, I enjoyed it. My grandmother was born in 1874 and when I was a child she would tell me all about London during her childhood and how poor it was for so many. I remember her horror at how many children she saw without shoes. She was lucky enough to have parents who were well off and she lived to be nearly 90. I hate London now but not because of shoeless children!

Not to mention Queen Victoria dressed so colourfully! Somebody who was famously in mourning for half a century!

Classic 😂😂😂😂

Wrong. According to revisionist history. London was built by recent immigrants.

Interestingly, I saw this same photo of the guards standing outside looking for recruits somewhere else and the uniforms were red! Go figure. I have wondered why so much of the colorization in most all clothing is some shade of blue. Was everything blue back then?

Any insight on the white population replacement in London?

"Ambience"

Crude electric carriages were first invented in the late 1820s and 1830s. Practical, commercially available electric vehicles appeared during the 1890s. An electric vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. In the early 20th century, the high cost, low top speed, and short-range of battery electric vehicles, compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use as private motor vehicles. Electric vehicles have continued to be used for loading and freight equipment and for public transport - especially rail vehicles.

Yes, and many of those things built back then were so durable. Made to last forever. Not the crap we have nowadays.

Thank you !

Not so good old London today, it’s changed beyond recognition and that’s not the indigenous people that has changed it.

Exactly. ​@@itzjustmolly8509

I’d love to know the name of that pub if you remember?

​@@theheartoftexasit's called the Mayflower in Rotherhithe London

@@AngloSaxonVanguard Thank you!

I thought the passengers on the Mayflower were Puritans and didn't drink alcohol? I am supposedly descended from one of the Mayflower passengers. Apparently there are 4 million descendants which is amazing as only about 16 of the 32 passengers had children born.

They drank Mead which was a healthy substitute for bad water. It wasnt like a pub today.

The Victorian era was over by 1903.

@mjh5437 Yes, it was, but all the houses before then are our era. Understand what you're saying. Cheers 🍻

you said it!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

And cholera and typhoid.

And nationalism & segregation. // Every country was ruined - once those ended!

Compassion and generosity

And average life expectancy was about 40. Great times.

No more than they do today and probably less..Indifference to others was the same in a busy city . I remember most of these places from 1947 onward after the Blitz. A lot did not get destroyed. The biggest raid in the City took out some old office buildings near Moorgate but missed St Paul's Cathedral. Few casualties as most people had gone home for the night to the suburbs. The Nazis made a lot of poor calculations about distance with those bombers and dropped large payloads and turned toward home.

Thank you so much!

👍

Because most couldn’t afford to eat and no fast food 😂

Did you not notice the cops?

@@theheartoftexas there were cops lots of them but they were too busy arresting the poor and homeless to make sure they didn’t dirty the rich streets

Most people never had the chance to become obese they never had much to eat , that requires money.

Apart from Queen Victoria.

Because we have better medicine, medical treatments and better technology...internet, KZfaq, I am glad I live today and not back then BUT during all the progress we as a society have lost so much. For example...people today go out dressed like they just crawled out of bed, or from under a rock. Parents no longer discipline their kids and they don't want the school or police doing it either. I could go on and on but you get my meaning.

No, the gentleman to whom you refer was Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. He was Queen Victoria’s grandson, the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). He was second in line to the throne after his father, but died in 1892 at Sandringham House, Norfolk aged 28 of pneumonia following a bout of influenza. He was possibly of low intelligence and was involved in various scandals including the Cleveland Street scandal of 1889. It was even alleged that he was Jack the Ripper no less. At the time of his death he was officially engaged to Princess Victoria Mary of Teck. She would go on to marry Prince Albert’s younger brother, Prince George, who in 1910 ascended the British throne to reign as George V.

@@markshrimpton3138 Thank you very much, please forgive my ignorance. I’m ashamed to admit my knowledge of the British Monarchy is not as good as it should be. I appreciate it when someone with knowledge takes the time to share their knowledge with me. You have decreased my ignorance and I thank you for that. Take care, Doc. PS. Your knowledge in this area is extensive, far above most. I can only begin to imagine how much historical reading you have done on the subject. I should have realized that John Brown would not be in a picture titled “Family Photograph”!…..as he wasn’t family related.

@@johnhenderson131 I’m glad that I’ve been of some help. We’re all ignorant about something, but when it comes to European history I have a slight advantage in that I have a degree in that subject and also one in archaeology. For nearly 20 years I was a school teacher in that subject too. Prince Eddy wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box but I don’t, as some people believe, think he was bumped off to prevent him ascending to the throne. Nor do I think he was Jack the Ripper. Kind regards.

Thanks a lot !
