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?

Thank you for putting this video up of my London, I am a true Cockney born in the City of London, within the sound of Bow Bells. Unfortunately it is too late, London is no longer. The East End of London now has Canary Wharf and the Square Mile has lost so many of its quaint buildings and courtyards. Back in the 1970's, on a cold a rainy afternoon, one could get from the Minories to Cannon Street Station without getting wet by using the various office buildings as walkways. All gone now, I am afraid, replaced by towering blocks and locked doors with Security Guards guarding the premises.

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.

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!

Such skilful work colourizing those photos. A real sense of place comes over and it's a beautiful time-machine to see life so long ago. Stunning how very mobile thousands of people were in any confined area on foot or on buses taxis etc. Seeing a dozen men on top deck 9 or 10 feet up makes me shudder to think of what accidents there were when eg a wheel came off a bus and tipped them all onto hard ground - not a good thought. Photography was in its infancy then and the quality of photos is quite remarkable. Thanks for a great slide show.

@hypsyzygy506 3 ай бұрын

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.

Another one pic, titled "JEWISH EAST END OF LONDON" we can see on the right the corner of Duval Street (formerly Dorset Street); the view of the photo was taken from Crispin Street not in 1893 but in 1912.

Fantastic job. I love seeing history and in color. Being 84, I could not help thinking how glad I did not live back then. Of course, they did not know what was to come.

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.

Great colourisation maybe a little less saturation would look more realistic

Must say you have done a remarkable job of “air-brushing” out all the people of colour !

I don't think there weren't any in those time periods. I think it was about 1950 onwards when people of colour arrived.

These are the most beautiful pictures of Victorian London I've ever seen I wonder if any of those buildings still exist

Fantastic photographs of a bygone age - though the streets are mostly very recognisable. I also wonder about the people, their lives and aspirations. Thank you.

Excellent. A more gentle time when human endeavour was more appreciated. People had time for each other and were proud of Queen and COUNTRY.

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.

The photo at 1:12 is not in London. This is a French couple in France. The husband is showing his Battle of Waterloo Medal on his right lapel. I know this photo very well.

This is London 40 years earlier than I remember it. When i was a young boy I used to think Tower Bridge was a medieval bascule bridge, only later did I learn it was only 40 years older than I was!

I do believe that the old couple near the beginning featured the last surviving soldier from the Battle of Waterloo.

I have far older photos of London,depicting many of my ancestors who mostly all lived in the East end. They all had a pretty good life ,with some getting knighted and many succeeding in getting access to University,Most at Cambridge.
