I know just how you feel - lovely to see Sheffield as my grandparent's would have.

That's a great 💡idea! Older English + slants to be checked. Time to time you would be asked about your accent/dialect. 😂Haha!

I Shot Your Pet Bee Hi I was wondering where they were. I’ve lived in Sheffield my whole life and watching this is amazing. They say that the past is another country and you can see why

No takeaways!

not just everyone in the film being dead, every human at this time on earth is dead.

Yep , the oldest person in the World is Kane Tanaka born January 2 ,1903 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people

Time is man made, you live as long as you live

@@neonskyline1 whether its man made or not they are all dead, and we will all die.

Yes, Sheffield really was a mighty city.

Yeah, adults wearing proper "grown up" clothing, not adult sized kids clothes as today!

Much less refined sugar consumed. Diet moderate to high in fat with low sugar and salt intake. White sugar is a killer. Same goes with the clothes really. That was not the age of trainers, jogging pants and Lycra leggings that I feel expose a bit too much. My grandmother was born in 1894 and she always wore a hat and gloves when going out. Lighter versions were used in summertime but still always dressed with those standards..

A lot of malnourishment on the other hand. And bad hygeneie

I've been devouring the KZfaq videos of your wonderful London Transit systems and rural railways. Regardless of of the changes of technology, I admire UKs tradition and future plans in the area of mass transit. Here in America, we are so lazy, we need to drive a car just to cross the street.

I think the E tram has derailed. The tracks turned up Ecclesall Road and then a second junction branched off left up Cemetery Road - I remember getting my bike wheels stuck in the tracks back in the 50's although the N.Edge line had closed by then. The NE tram - I suppose - is bound for Nether Edge and turns correctly, the E tram would be for Ecclesall and should follow the same tracks initially but seems to turn too soon . Before the film jumps at about 58 secs you can see the driver looks to his left and seems a bit disconcerted and the pick-up trolley is stretching away at an odd angle to the viewers right. One of the most interesting thing about the film is that we are in that brief period when there were "modern" electric trams, hundreds of horses and no motor vehicles ( and pedestrians seem to have a very casual attitude to road safety!)

I used to train tram drivers and at such locations, where there were facing points, the speed had to be at a minimum. If it had derailed I don't think it would have travelled as far. It does appear to be travelling on invisible tracks but I don't think we will ever know if it did derail. I don't know if you noticed the manager with the tram inspector in High Street opposite York Street approaching the tram with curiosity regarding the cameraman, I wonder what they said to him?With regard to the pedestrians having no regard for their safety, I think we have to remember that the very early trams along with other vehicles didn't move much faster than walking pace and must have made a racket as they approached.

I'm not sure how tram brakes worked in those days - you will know better than me but I believe that rather than braking the wheels, a couple of shoes each side were forced down onto the flat part of the rail, so I guess that if the tram had derailed the brakes would be pretty useless anyway. Interestingly at about 2mins 30 a chap pops out and appears the move or assist the facing points to move between the two trams going different routes: also on at least two occasions the conductor appears to lean out to check that the trolley head is actually following the tram. I guess the cameraman must have been standing part-way up the stairs to judge by the driver's hat - perhaps the manager might have taken a dim view of this arrangement!

Nossa, eu também. Gostaria muito ter vivido esta época. Claro que hoje estaríamos mortos a muitos anos..kkk Mais ainda assim, queria muito ter vivido esta mágica época. Eu sendo mulher , gostaria de usar estes vestidos compridos, estes chapéus, estas lindas sombrinhas de pano..ah, que coisa linda.. esta epoca os dias eram mais doces , mais inocentes, mais românticos que os dias atuais. No mais, desejo a voce muita saude e muitos motivos para sorrir nesta vida. Abraco !!.🖐

D. M. Bell no

At the speed those trams were traveling, walking was probably much quicker too.

No one directing traffic, no traffic lights, no left lane, no right lane. It's amazing people made it out alive from all that confusion.

There is a theory that if you do away with traffic lights and signs, people will be more careful when using the roads. This has been tried in Holland and the accident rate fell and in addition, the police did not have to worry and keep a lookout for cars jumping red lights.

D. M. Bell and they ate a-lot less then too. Little disposable income, no electronics.

First shot is here (A61/ London Rd junction ) www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3636707,-1.47246,3a,54.2y,27.91h,86.83t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sZrVA2HDk0IWwRA5QzTpV2g!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DZrVA2HDk0IWwRA5QzTpV2g%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D97.418015%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656 Next segment looks like more of London Road heading in.

Yes thanks for that I agree.

I'm not sure that's correct. Charles Joseph Van Depoele's first electric railway was laid in Chicago early in 1883, and he exhibited another at an exposition in that city later in the same year. In 1885, he invented and demonstrated the first trolley pole, a device used by electric streetcars (trams) to collect current from overhead wires, introducing it publicly on a line installed temporarily at the Toronto Industrial Exhibition in autumn 1885, reportedly reaching 65 mph.

Railways had been around for half a century😂

No it doesn't :-)

Mine was seven . I wonder if they met? :)

I hear that. Sheffield has been given over to the Third World now.

Punchbag Tickler that’s because most people back then didn’t live past about 40 years.

Modest like Muslim women and not a tattoo in sight.

Think it was due to all the soot floating about.

WOLFROY47 But there wasn't any vehicle went past 30mph back then lol

No video cameras then. This was done with a 35mm cine film camera. The reason for the jerkiness in the image is because the film was shot at something like 16 frames per second. If run back today at the standard 24 frames per second, the images would appear to be going too fast, so for transfer to video or DVD, it has to be slowed down by an odd process of printing or scanning each second frame twice, which makes the image appear jerky. However, if you could see this film projected onto a screen from a 35mm cine projector and the speed slowed down to around 16 frames per second, it would look just right with no jerkiness.

Ulster Groundhopper I know! Both Wednesday AND Hallam FC were decent.

Professional horse crap pickeruppers of course !

Only horse muck!

Maureen Barnes it still is. The "great" refers to the geography of the British isles, not to military conquest.

Try telling that to the UKIP knuckledraggers.

As Trump said: "I have great respect for the U.K. United Kingdom. Great respect. People call it Britain. They call it Great Britain. They used to call it England, different parts." You too have misunderstood why Great Britain is 'great' but at least you know it is still called England (unlike Trump)

Hi Paul .. Its a good idea but im not sure how to do all that and as for the music, well most of it on youtube was rubbish and dint really have music that fitted the video... Anyway if you want to do the commentary then upload a video of it if you know what your doing and i will delete this video ...cheers

I think you will find that we drive on the correct side of the street.

Somebody posts an almost miraculous piece of film from 115 years ago, and all you can do Paul Taylor is make negative comments! I hope this was just a one-off, and not a reflection of your everyday personality.
