Seeing these photos makes you realise what a mess we have made of Eltham!

It seems that the subtitles might be auto-generated, as there are several mistakes in these captions, e.g Hengersbury (Hengistbury) Head, Mr. Rose (Rolls), right (Wright), and the complete lack of capital letters, all of which make this film seem rather amateurish. Furthermore the recent aerial view of the crash site and the modern street map are not at the same scale. Considering historical details, no mention is made of the alteration Rolls made to the tailplane of his aircraft the evening before his fatal crash and which may well have been the cause of the accident. More research is needed to raise the historical profile of this 'documentary'.

A few images of buildings I remember as a child [mid-30s and 40s

So many memories of the area in the fifties. Just thought all old properties and shops were normal then. Remember the war time beach debris that was from Poole to Southampton Water. Oftentimes going to the Arne peninsula and Shell bay area was tricky as so many explosives remained. Many footpaths to the beach and dunes were strictly fenced to prevent us kids straying. Lovely pictures and thanks for posting.

It seems no more growded then than it is now in my opinion ...

Excellent. Many thanks.

Just to say that can't be goathorn at 10:17 but could be Ridge wharf

Brilliant. Brought back memories of my childhood in the 50’s and 60’s . Sadly I agree with previous comments, so much change and Pompey seems to have lost much of its character.😒

and now london is a shithole

The flickering is terrrible

Any Info on Chessum House, Lansdowne drive E8? Cant find any info online. Only that it was the Assembly Hall for the Hackney Board School..

love seeing old photos of places i live in and know well.

Lovely Video💛Thank You for sharing this Information. I do believe Dragons are misunderstood, sad it was slain🐉

Fantastic memories of Darlington through the year's very poignant memories 😊

I really like the picture and the look at it now it's not a town no more very sad 😢😢

I live in the new Forrest a place called Fordingbridge

My childhood home has an air fair shelter. My Nan was on a bus when the bus was hit .

Lovely. My mum would have recognised all that. She was born in Avery Hill in 1907.

Photos are too fast. Can’t see them before they are gone. Do this one again please with more time to view.

Making my eyes hurt, can’t enjoy pictures with all the crap in the way, sorry

Tell us about the building.

Wow. Amazing images. Is there anyway I can get access to them or more alike?

Don't turn your back on them. And DON'T BLINK!

Digitally remastered NPC’S 😂👌🏼

The pictures would be interesting if you could see them. The flickering makes the video unwatchable.

The railway both made & destroyed Darlington.

Good memories from a little more than 50 years ago, l lived in Barton and the George was my 'local' l remember Reg who was ex army, maybe CSM or something, ran a good house kept all in check. There was a music shop ran by a young man, l think it was in the Pantiles shops but l have no idea which one, he used to send sheet music all over the world from that little shop, l think his name was 'Aiden'.

Horrible music and the ship isn’t a cruise ship it’s a ocean liner

I remember Queens Road Methodist Church before they pull it down in the late 70's /80's . My mum would go to the jumble sales in the church. I went to the school behind the church John Donne primary school.

Great video. My family member was Levi Lockyer who lost his life. His body was never recovered. 🙏🏻

keep em coming. subbed)

trying to see the picture with the flippin writing covering it.

Some very good photos, but they were ruined because you do not allow enough time for people to take in the contents. Also, the titles of each view blocked what little chance there is of seeing the pictures. Very disappointing for me since I lived in Darlington as a boy and then moved away.

Thanks for this, but, as a Leeds Lad, I would have appreciated knowing where in Leeds, these photo's were taken, of course I recognised a lot of them, but still, some didn't ring true as being part of my beloved home existence

I was apprenticed at Whessoe in 1968. Served my time and got away from Darlington. Same cultural mentality exists there to this day I believe?

No so haunted anymore is it

I love Darlington ❤ i also live in Darlington and its amazing to see how it looked years before!

Great video

Thank you for your time and effort, really interesting, how times have changed.

Heartbreaking. The Pompey of my youth (60s) gone. My grandparents lived down St. Davids Rd. My brothers and I would go to Canoe Lake, go along the esplande to the little kiosks there down to the respective piers. Later I would drink with my great uncle & grandfather at the club on S. Parade pier (The Dolphin?). I haven't been back since '73 when my nan died. It really has changed and I don't think for the better, especially Comercial Rd where she ran her shop called Shop N Save. I spent many hours in there after closing, stacking shelves for her & grandad.

Ancestors that lived in Darlington from at least 1823, when my 3rd great grandfather was married at St Cuthbert's Church. Great grandfather John was in the Ancient Order of Druids around 1900. I worked as a draughtsman for Whessoe Heavy Engineering back in the 1980s. Our family worked for the North Eastern Railway Company, living in Darlington, Stockton & Thornaby ( where I was born & grew up ).

My home town. Gentler times. Not sure if I should revisit for fear of destroying the dream.

when HACKNEY was mostly ONE CULTURE ??????????????

Thanks for this information it’s great to know my home town was bombed

One question no-one knows the answer to is why has a defensive building got such large windows and entrances. You can see from the photos the arch of the stonework so the size cannot be explained that they were widened by locals removing stones.

Fabulous photos, thank you.

We are very lucky to have such history at the bottom of our road. The forest is a beautiful place and even better when people respect it and honour its beauty. Thank you, lovely video.

It's magical ! I'm love it. Thanks 😍

Served an apprenticeship at North Road Works (1959), amazed by the machine shop picture with every machine driven by overhead line shafting and very long flat belts in earlier days. A great job putting all those pictures on KZfaq, thank you.

the ghost of king louis lives in that palace, he will welcome you in the Hall of Mirrors😇👻👻👻☠
