@manchester2000ful silly, naive comment...infant mortality was extremely high in those days and if you got past that age then TB might get you. You really have never had it so good - try appreciating that instead of harping back to good old days that truly never were.
@johnny2o2o What I meant was - we didn't have a war practically every year. We did not have to keep up with the Jones'. There was honour and good will towards man. They were not a pill popping nation. Few rapes, child abuse, murders. Had little but most were happy. Family meant something. Heart disease, cancer, strokes rampant. Man will never eradicate disease, if he does, some other disease will pop up. No aids back then.
Anti-racists say there is this RACE problem. Anti-racists say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries. Anti-racists say the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. This is a policy of White genocide. Anti-racist is code-word for anti-white.
@pillowbugg Not a miracle, just a properly reproduced film of the era, unlike most of the stuff that found its way on YT via multiple generations of crappy VHS or amateurish filming off a screened projection. If movies hadn't been able to give a good reproduction of reality, they'd never have been loved by the public as much as they were. People weren't blind or stupid in 1904, they recognized quality as much as we do today. The music however shows a very modern lack of taste!
I find the music just perfect, it suits to this nostalgic video. Thank you for sharing this, and yes, if anyone knows the name of the music, please share it with the rest of us who like it.
The people from 1904 stare at the camera, unsure of what to make of it. People in 2004 stare at the Google Maps video car as it passes them by in exactly the same fashion. In 1904 only their pictures were being captured, In 2004 people's data was being captured.
@quarkwrok yes thats what I said, instead of wearing their folkloric and good and healthy clothes liek indians (India) for example they weared this smoking like dresses and very tight ... just ridiculous!
@tinotrivino No, I meant who OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES didn't look ridiculous in those days? Their clothes were an improvement on smocks and agricultural wear of earlier times as it protected them from cold and disease, plus religious sensibilities meant covering up. In fact the British suit was modelled on Indian fashion, such was the influence of India on the UK at the time.
@quarkwrok India, Japan, China, Southamerica, Spain, and so on. It was the British Etiquette which made them so ridiculous..
I mean I konw what you mean but no, just look USA, it also looks fresh and cool, jeans, and so on, or spanish peopel with real flamenco beautiful clothes or the Hindus, with leasure clothes specially for summer very elegant. But those Tight Uk "civilized" clothes was so ridiculous. .)(British copied wrong the Hindu fashion...
@tinotrivino Well thats your opinion, I think the opposite on those fashions. If you're looking at scenes from the centre of London at that time you're going to get the same as you'd get in Delhi, Lima, Budapest or New York. If you want Jeans you gotta go to some mines in the far Western U.S. at the time otherwise you'll find the same mix of urban and rural clothing as in the UK. Jeans (which were TIGHT) only became popular post-war, the same time as the T-shirt, which spread first by the Brits.
@quarkwrok My Firned we are talking the same thing I think the problem is my bad explanation (I am from Spain and not english).. so what I tried to say, is, that Whole World, for than copy the "civilized" clothes from British Empire... and it was weird, because those clothes are very uncomfortable, also it was very very bad and "ridiculous" to wear a huge suit on a beach for example!!!. DOnt forgett, the opression and the prohibiton came always from UK...
@tinotrivino I'm flying out tonight to Malaga in El Andalucia for some warm weather mi amigo. Also for the Spanish culture which I like a lot and there are some attitudes which we have more in common than with French, Italian or German in my opinion. Adiós.
@quarkwrok lol, well I wish you well .D anyway, Andalucia has got Arabic influence, Northwest spain Celtic, and north Gothic .) we have 5 different cultures thats what makes us a special place for everyone :D
@tinotrivino Yes we understand each other. :) In those days they thought a woman showing an ankle meant she was a harlot. Even on a beach. :/ But we also invented beach holidays in this cold country called England! When the temperature is hot it is uncomfortable wearing tight clothing but it's not hot in London for most of the year even though it almost never snows. But give me a machine-made cotton shirt over a Hessian sack that the peasants wore any day!
it's globalisation mate. the world is alot smaller now because of technology. We have chosen to isolate ourselves and communities are not as important. The closer you get to cities and large towns the more un-friendly people seem
If we went back 100 years, talking to the average person would be like trying to use Facebook on a calculator.
Our brain wiring is very different to theirs. Remember scientific knowledge at this time was that there was one galaxy and it has either always existed, or was made by God. Things like that shape you in ways you don't even know.
@superhamzah85 Darwin had published Origin of Species 1859, forty five years before this photo. Scientific discoveries since 1904 (as ever, made by the few, not the many who just learn how to benefit from them) are vast and mind wobbling. But genetically, human intelligence (capacity for learning, strategic creativity, and wisdom) is constant, era to era ... perhaps improved by eating "smart" foods and supplements.
@superhamzah85 (cont.) Genetically since 1904 the races and ethnicities have more interbred, so a new mixing of talents. But true, our experiences do rewire our brains ... we're more visual than they, less auditory, from cinema and tv.
@WoundedKneeJane We are all waiting for God my friend. Lets just hope he is waiting for us!!? I sincerely hope I live as long as you do, then I can bore my grandchildren with stories from the internet! Stay strong.
I agree about the music..perhaps some old recording of a Music Hall ditty would set the scene a little better....nonetheless , stunning view of vanished way of life, quite similar to a 1906 film of San Francisco recently unearthed...
It looks like Smithfield Market near Farringdon Road in London from 0:34 and like Farringdon Road with the railway bridge over it from 0:54 onward. The Smithfields Market, built in the 1868, was almost demolished a few years ago for office space, but thankfully saved. Part of it was destroyed during The Blitz by a V2 bomb that killed 110 people. It is the only remaining market still used for butchers today that has not moved out of Central London and is worth seeing. Look it up on Wikipedia.
Man, who were these people? How many of them died only a few years later in WWI or the influenza. My paternal grandfather had a wife & son already when that influenza came. He lost his wife & remarried, but for the death of that woman, I would not exist.
@VictorLepanto Don't worry there's nothing special about that, people have died of diseases and stuff since the beginning of time, at some point there was only 1000 humans on earth and 99% of species are dead, caos is normal.
Wonderful and marvelous. What a priceless gem as these seeming "ghosts" of our ancestors return to our lives. I find this so poignant and cannot stop viewing. There is the little lad posing like a star full of self confidence and of life (and possibly slaughtered in the Great War. The little dancing girl is clearly enjoying herself and seems to show off to the camera knowing that she has become almost immortal. The music enhances and adds to the overall effect. GREAT STUFF.
beautiful restoration job on this clip of the past. even the speed of movement is more realistic than usual of these old movie clips. However I agree that the music is totally not in synch with the period at all. Something like The music by Georges Delerue that was used in the 1964 film 'Pumpkin Eater' & 'La Peau Douce' would have been much better. Something to trigger those feelings of nostalgia.
@JoyDivisiongirl It's just a myth, That when you're getting shot by an old camera, a part of your soul gets stuck on the pic/movie. That's why many people during the 1800's didnt like to be on camera.
FUNNY TO SEE THESE 6-10 YEAR OLD BOYS FROLICING IN THE WATER AND SOME ON THE STREETS, 10 YEARS LATER WOULD BE AGE OF CONSCRIPT. I WONDER HOW MANY WENT TOO FLANNDERS & THE SOMME AND NEVER CAME BACK. SORT OF AN ERRIE WAY OF LOOKING AT ONE'S LIFE BUT IT'S MAY HAVE BEEN. SAD IN AWAY
@BOSTONBUCK My Grandfather and his three brothers were around that age in `04. They all joined up as career soldiers. They saw the Somme, Ypres and loads more over the 4 years. Two of them were wounded for a while, but they all came back safe and sound. In `39 again all 4 went to war, and all 4 again came home at the end. Not many families can say that! Miraculous to be honest.
@owainmeurig My Grandpa would have been early-mid forties (they were all very close in age) around `39. They were all career soldiers so were not called up.
Good video, sucky music. And yes, I know how to use the mute button. But what's the point of putting a sound track to the video if the best thing that can be said about the music is, "thank God for the mute button"?
luv that last scene at ludgate circus with the guy running in the street and the steam train and the bus with pears soap etc wow what a wierd time. Also I luv that girl in the beginning.Pity everyone in this film are stiffs now
marvellous so innocent. The people looked liked they were happy with their lot There would have been pickpockets I guess but no where near as bad as today
We have lost the plot and now the arsole of the western world.
We have become a fg disgrace no wonder all the true brits are emigrating to greener pastures.
@staypress Its the same everywhere now. Sorry to put a damper on this, but whilst they didnt know anything else back then, there was grinding poverty, still some child labour, no womens vote, a world War on the way, filth and disease, unless you could afford it, no access to a doctor or dentist, no social mobility, apalling coalfire smogs with the related health issues (right up to the 50`s). The list goes on. Times were tough.
The last shot was of the bridge at Ludgate Circus taken down to be replaced by the ralway going underground at that point which is of course the Southern end of City Thameslink station.
@clemencie up there next to the play button is a little speaker icon. If you click on that speaker you can silence the sound, click it again and the sound returns. Quite a handy little feature to have when you don't like the sound with a video.
People back then would really dress up when out in public. They also liked to wear hats. Hats were a big thing back then, actually hats were very popular for a long time. Hats were a smart thing to wear.

Good video, sucky music. And yes, I know how to use the mute button. But what's the point of putting a sound track to the video if the best thing that can be said about the music is, "thank God for the mute button"?
P.S. - The music sucks.
Oh, and one more thing. The music sucks.

very nice bit of film, but please lose the music. Better yet, try something a bit more contemporary to the film's time.

marvellous so innocent. The people looked liked they were happy with their lot There would have been pickpockets I guess but no where near as bad as today
We have lost the plot and now the arsole of the western world.
We have become a fg disgrace no wonder all the true brits are emigrating to greener pastures.

@staypress Dont forget what happened 10 years later.
chanctonbury63 10 months ago
@staypress Its the same everywhere now. Sorry to put a damper on this, but whilst they didnt know anything else back then, there was grinding poverty, still some child labour, no womens vote, a world War on the way, filth and disease, unless you could afford it, no access to a doctor or dentist, no social mobility, apalling coalfire smogs with the related health issues (right up to the 50`s). The list goes on. Times were tough.

The last shot was of the bridge at Ludgate Circus taken down to be replaced by the ralway going underground at that point which is of course the Southern end of City Thameslink station.

@clemencie Yes i agree great footage but awful music that's put's you off. I turn the sound down.
Thanks.
gezbo66 1 year ago
@clemencie up there next to the play button is a little speaker icon. If you click on that speaker you can silence the sound, click it again and the sound returns. Quite a handy little feature to have when you don't like the sound with a video.

People back then would really dress up when out in public. They also liked to wear hats. Hats were a big thing back then, actually hats were very popular for a long time. Hats were a smart thing to wear.

A time machine. amazing clarity and detail. You can almost imagine your (great)grandparents in the film. I hope more films like this turn up.
