@discocreator76 if it's a pakki hell then come do something about it? Wimp! Dont sit behind a screen and 'yip yap' like a man with no testicles, come make a change, Freedom of speech, use legal power to do so mate!!
I do wander,what the descendants of the bradfordians will think. For example your children,once the idea that they are eastern has faded and asians have become part of western identity rather than 'foreigners settled'.
How come on this video everything looks like its really old and dusty? considering it was the year 1902 when they film this.... you would have thought that in 1902 everything u see on that street the walls and the poles and the road and stuff would be kind of new looking... and that if it was today seen it as it is.. today eveyrthing would look old stuff like dirty walls and everything used a million times.. But this video shows as if the walls and stuff was allready old and used.... ?
@dogshy61 You wish England had preserved it's identity and remained how it was at this point in history? Without being 'overrun by third world peoples'? Check out descriptions of Bradford in the Victorian/Edwardian eras, it's famously been compared to hell, the average life expectancy of a working person was about 30, and things were generally shit unless you were one of the very few rich people... so it WAS by our modern standards a third world country. Multiculturalism is good, get over it.
All things must pass. What would we think if we could see the famine of 1245 or the dead on the battlefield of Towton in 1461? Our time will be as remote as this in 2120.
@tdrhq ,That's rich coming from a yank.........Bradford is a town, not half a continent like the deep south. Please tell me, was slavery and then segregation banned in America, in the early 1800's like in the then British Empire, nope, it was over a hundred years later, so please, don't presume to lecture us.
I dont know about you guys, but when I watch these old vidoes it makes me depressed. I for some reason just feel so sorry for everyone I see in the video.
These old films are a sad reminder of how England is gradually losing it's identity and the descendents of these people have had their towns and cities overrun by third world peoples .You can bet your life that India will allways be indian and China will always be chinese but somehow if your a white nation you have to tolerate the mongrelization of your people and if you speak out against it your a ''racist'' and you can even go to jail for it. God bless Democracy !!!
Went back to my home city after leaving in 1989. I was shocked at the demise of a once thriving city centre. A metropolitan area of half a million yet a dump of a shopping centre much smaller than Huddersfield's. Many of the shops that were there were little more than dressed up bazaars. I still tell people I am from Bradford, although I live a long long way from it now. A once prosperous city with a dynamic economy & a buzz now all gone. Why have the council allowed this to happen ? So sad !
wow this is weird, just think that could be my great Grandma/Grandpa right there on the screen and i wouldn't even know it. I am from bradford but the longest i have lived there is 4 weeks XD However i am there 2-3 times a year to visit both sides of family. I'm shocked by how much it has changed ! when i was little me and my cousins always played a game in the car called spot the white. Im horrified by what it's turned into. It's really sad :(Bradford has lost its identity...
@lollinlolz Some real racist bigotry being written here,may be if you stayed put and didn't go on to greener pastures then Bradford inner city would still be white.But the truth is the whites moved to the new estates built around bradford and the poor immigrant manual work donkeys took over the inner cities dark, damp,rotten and decrepid houses.
@rkhan187 I think it's sad that some people are making a racial issue of this. These amazing films are of a byegone era, and haunting as they are, I believe it is to England's credit that it is now home to a multi-racial society.
@theprophet20 , We have had a multi racial society since the Romans, but the difference then, was that they all integrated and wore British Forces uniforms to defend our nation when it was under threat. They, like us, believed in our nation, and our home. Now.......talk to me about home grown terrorists, who were born and raised in these cities, and have vowed to destroy them..............are you getting this you political ignoramus, or do you need it spelling out.
treason didn't start with immigrants, we've never been short of traitors (william joyce alias "lord haw haw" among others) but since they're not readily identifiable by skin colour they're not worth mentioning are they?

@rkhan187 - I couldnt agree more, White people should stand there ground and not let themselves be ousted out. BUT all is not lost, the battle of Britian is only just beginning.
This truly was a great time for bradford,where marriage was sacred,men and woemen dressed smartly and modestly.Christianity had a role to play in society.
And what have you got now,immodesty,you mate like animals while drunk.And live hand to mouth, where a month without a job and your on the dole.
But not to worry the old english qualities of bradford are not lost,the muslim community still preserve them and jesus is regarded in the utmost esteem and respect not turned into a consumer gimmick.
Then you would truly know what no go areas are,there would be no sense of an entrepreneurial spirit, and the council would have to step in and build more estates for the black community and tear down the old terraces.
And yes i am not part of the pilitically correct brigade, i call a spade a spade.
Ask the elderly old white people that live in theses estates how happy they are about the young white piss head yob culture that roam these estates.The asian community have created thousands of buisnesses in bradford , which provide employment and generate tax for the council.
And remember we never came as your masters or conquerers but as workers to this land.
So stop banging on how great bradford was,because it still is a great city,or would you rather prefer 200000 black people in this city.
The asian people came to this city to work in the woolmills and moved into houses that would have been torn down.Through sheer hard work they have revived the old terrace houses and preserved them as an asset for this city.The white working class moved out of the dilapidated old terrace houses and into brand new council estates which dot the the outskirts of the city, and believe me they are no go areas for asians eg buttershaw,wrose,idle,ravenscliffe,holmewood,.
this used to be our town but you all sat back and let it all go your all to blame for letting that happen now its almost secterian or is divided what next ????????
Wake up Brits, liberalism and socialism is destroying your nation as our own (the US) is under assault by the current regime, all the things that made us great are slowly being eroded and dissipated with the daily assault on individual liberties and freedoms, but I guess that isnt deemed as virtuous by you people anymore.
really calling someone chalky when your own complexion is that of faeces is a bad move.
i simply do not know how the UK thinks it is enriching england by dividing communities allowing waves upon waves of benefit scroungers and 'rift raft' of over countries. To add insult to injury,last i checked the UK gives away the most money to developing nations.
@mike19821982 thats prejudiced because that is the lowest thing to state, asians people have contributed greatly to this country. NHS workers, lawyers, sportsmen, restaurants, we have served england well and if and when we break the law we also accept its method of judicial system right through to the jails and rehabilitation.
we are here to stay my friend, and we offer no harm to anyone.
your parent would be so proud, did so well for themselves, made a nice ahome and then up come a retard child liek yourself and ruins all the hard word,
BD5 was once a nice area, look at it now, get a job, get ome money, educate yourself and then mabe you can afford to live ina nice area too
@mike19821982 at least my father could get up for 50yrs at 5.30am and he still works and pays all his taxes, the first generation of asians they were well and truly hard working and fearful, respectful of england and english people.
they were invited here and have helped to make the economy great in the post war years.
Am not knocking asians or muslims that came over here, Rightly so they came and I welcome that, they brought as you rightly say so much too this country, thousands too took up the call and gave the greatest honour of the lives in WW2, what I'm having a go at is 2nd or 3rd generation muslims like BD5PAKI, who come on here and say shit like he/she did. Her/His anscestors moved here and bettered there lives unbelieveably and that the thanks their own descendants give to them,
you really are boring, its one thing writing your vile shite on an edl video but have respect for your own forfathers, your parents and grandparents and others bradfordians and leave it off this video, your only showing your lack of respect for them,
@mike19821982 ya his view does not represent all of us and it is just 'hot air' in opinion but it is all our duty to contribute and we are what makes bradford, we get out what we put in positive or negative and i only hope that we can put in positive and take out positively and share that with all of our citizens regardless of race gender creedd class relgious or political persuasion.
yes,the achievements of your people? The testament of the achievements of your people is the reason why you are in the UK. You are from a deprived third world country that could not hold a stone to europe. nobody is jealous of women who wear bin liners.
@EnglishG3nt actually diseases and poverty were rife, dickensian style.
no nhs, no real regulated system but tis only ebcause we had cameras that we know how people lived, if we could see footage of 16th century england it would hurt us more, its just nostalgia and sentiment.
Imagine if these people back in 1902 could see the state of our city today, looks like downtown islamabad, 68 mosques in bradford and there trying to build more, what a shame our city has been ruined and allowed to become a mini islamic state.
Why does this fine piece of cinema bring out such a shower if I'll informed retarded bigotry. Yes there were no Asian people living in Bradford around the turn of the century, and Manigham was a very well-to-do area, but does anyone really want to return to the era if the workhouse, Victorian slums, 6 days a week in the dark satanic mills, consumption.....Get real!
14 years later many of those young men were dead. In WWI they ordered the Bradford Pals out to the frontline into slaughter. One man for every street in the city was killed. They believed they were fighting for there way of life & identity to be continued, if they could see the place now.
@MrCiggles Yo man if u dont like the asian invasion your more than welcome to move out and fk off to Barnsley, Parts of London and other such places where those nice chaps the BNP reside. HaHa! If u had the guts you would go to Bradford City Centre and demonstrate against the asian invasion. How safe 4 u 2 spurt your vile shit on UTube if u had the balls you would do something for your white community. But i guess u dont and that make u a big Pussy and your probably a fkin fag white pussy.
@kadirbashir mate no i think you have it wrong you should piss off back to where you come from. Your not wanted here or liked and are so out of place even if your lot stayed for a 1000 years you will never feel at home yourself here and the thing is YOU KNOW IT TOO.Your place is among your own with your own people and being happy there what the hell are you doing in Bradford?All that way across the planet to live there. You people are nuts.oh and i think your reply is more vile.
@gezbo66 No offence but this is disgusting and nonsense what u saying.these forigners built your country ages ago n your government who recurited n allowed them to come to england and the way they come to live here is way way better than invading other countries n steal their oil by bombing tons of houses n killing civiiallins. The african,asian and whatever coumminty in UK would be fair for them to go back home only if the brits come back from US,Australia,afghanistan,etc
Things changed alot nowdays. It's funny how they were crossing the road and walking on the middle of it lol,there was no traffic rules I guess, it's alot better now with no doubt. poor donkey 1:53
@MohamedDusoqi I don't know maybe people had more ability to choose back then, it wasn't so restricting like it is now. Sure it was 'dangerous' but danger is fun sometimes.
european economies are kept afloat by immigrants. it is not a joke when i say white people will be a minority within europe in many countries in about 200 years. what will they think? probably think alot of things because of how well documentated we are.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Good thing this was all destroyed during WWII so society could move forward to a bright big beautiful tomorrow; rather than rolling in squalor. I mean who wants to live in a place and time without color? I sure am glad the color bomb was set off in the 1930's along with the 3D bomb. Now we get to enjoy life in a better spectrum than these colorless two dimensional folk. For proof of the forgotten color bomb, Just look at the "Wizard of Oz" movie. B&W to full color. Color lifted spirits ending th
Color lifted the spirits of people so much in the late 1930's that the color bomb was given credit for ending the worldwide depression. Thank You, I am done talking with letters.
I live in Bradford now & I'm so proud of its history. I just wish a lot more were like me & if they were we could make Bradford a really good place again. I just wish people would realise that the history of Bradford didn't start when the first Asians moved in to the city. I just wish the council would stop ripping the heart oout of our beloved city
@CRAZYCOZZIE bradford has always had a healthy influx of economic migrants from all over the world, we have to accept that asian people have lived in england for nearly 100 years, with the first few arrivals from india and slovakian gypsies.
no single group or single person is responsible, we have english law and if anyone breaks it, they get put through the courts and jailed. simple as.
@CRAZYCOZZIE I was there this year on holiday to visit family and i heard a lot about the old Alhambra Theatre the council needs to get off there bums and fix it up instead of letting it go to waste it is a lovely old building bring it back to it's former glory .
The people in the film were better dressed then than they are now. How sorry I feel for those hard working and enterprising folk of 1902. 100 years on and there proud city has been destroyed by idealistic short sited political leaders interested only in milking thier own worthless careers. I am pretty well travelled & cant think of any other English city that has imploded like Bradford.
@ALBIONTYKE ....I agree with you......its called civic pride..they were proud of their town....... the people that live in them now don't give a shit, why should they, it wasn't their forefathers that built them...i was in Bury recently, and was stunned by the amount of litter and crap on the streets.
id love to be able to go back and live in that era, im from Bradford and the place is a bit of a dump and loos like Pakistan, anyone know where some building these days would be in this video???
@speedfreak18ish The film starts opposite the present day sex shop on Manningham Lane going up towards the turn off for the football ground. It is then cut and carries on about 100m further up with the 3 girls near Thorncliffe Road. All these buildings have been changed. However, from 2:00 you should still be able to see the buildings shown as they are the villas you can see before the traffic lights on the junction with Queens Road which is the road you see at the end of the film on the right.
Amazing footage. In fact I'd like to see all the M&K Bradford footage. it is sad indeed to view Bradford in its current state. Ironically, the architecture in Bradford is still alive, you only need to brush through certain area to view wondeful Victorian buildings, but unfortunately Bradford has a lot of scummy people. That is Bradfords main problem.
nice to see how bradford was over one hundred years ago and sad to see its actually declined rather than get better.....wish i was born then...atleast it was a better placer and a lot more cleaner....
These are incredibly priceless--to see how people lived 100 years ago. To see the faces of people who are now only vapors and images. And, in the scope of things, it really wasn't that long ago. It's a beautiful rendition and celebration of their day and lives--and sadly a commentary on our own mortality.
Thanks so much for posting these. (I'm assuming Bradford is in England?...)
to WKUHilltopper: I am an American and this almost looks like Boston from this era. Things were so rough for people back then. When I look at old films like this I always think.....my God these people actually lived, had a life just like me and they are gone and forgotten just as I will be. I have been searching my family tree and come to find that many of my ancestors lived 8 to a house (not a big house either). They must have been tripping over each other in such cramped housing
ive lived here 35 years and my father 49years, man it has changed even in 1960 things still had some vintage to them, it seems to have all but disappeared.
oh yeah they would be like WTF had they known how much that town changed its know full of asians and musilms whatever happend too the old English town of bradford
@brucelee12 nah they would have accepted the changes that have come, we have to remember that it is the people who make the area, there are somevery good people living and working here and they are of all backgrounds, i think BD5 especially LIttle Horton is probably the most integrated area in central bradford.
this mitchell and kenyon film shows the poor and affluent, back then deseases were rife, poverty, there was no NHS. nevertheless the film is a poignant reminder of the past good or bad
I don't think they're walking abnormally fast. People used to walk a lot that time because they didn't use to drive cars. Oh, and that woman is really annoying, not because of her ascents. I like to watch these old films and take my own conclusions intead of having a voice telling me what is happening and how "she thinks" people that time were.
to bitterchew: yes, many films of the era looked abnormally fast because the cameras were hand cranked.....no electric or spring driven motors in them....also i believe there were less frames per second.....that would also tend to make them move faster
Truly wonderful archive footage. at 25 seconds the side road to the right is Thorncliffe Road, at around 1 minute 12 seconds a horse drawn van appears and turns down Clifton Streeet towards Thorncliffe Laundry, the van is quite clearly a delivery vehicle for the laundry.
last place bradford to change, because bradford was taxed for other city's have a nice time, as all worked hard in bradford just got used for other city's
eye remember it like that when eye was a kid in the late 60's the building's was all black of soot dust, you could not see where you was going in the fog.
I lived on this road... its nothing like this now, its a Pakistani ghetto! to think 100 years ago it was like this and then compare it to now!!! one wonders how it was allowed to go so badly wrong..
I seriously think we have gone as far as we can go with any form of entertainment. I mean the next step would be becomming God himself in order to create something. Would you imagine those people you see on the streets reaction if we showed them what film and entertainment can do in 2009? Hell, I can't even believe I'm in 2009!
As somebody still living in 2008, I'd love to know what it's like... also, who wins the Lakers-Celtics game? We can make a lot of money here. I'll split it with you 50/50.

This truly was a great time for bradford,where marriage was sacred,men and woemen dressed smartly and modestly.Christianity had a role to play in society.
And what have you got now,immodesty,you mate like animals while drunk.And live hand to mouth, where a month without a job and your on the dole.
But not to worry the old english qualities of bradford are not lost,the muslim community still preserve them and jesus is regarded in the utmost esteem and respect not turned into a consumer gimmick.
rkhan187 1 year ago
Then you would truly know what no go areas are,there would be no sense of an entrepreneurial spirit, and the council would have to step in and build more estates for the black community and tear down the old terraces.
And yes i am not part of the pilitically correct brigade, i call a spade a spade.
rkhan187 1 year ago
Ask the elderly old white people that live in theses estates how happy they are about the young white piss head yob culture that roam these estates.The asian community have created thousands of buisnesses in bradford , which provide employment and generate tax for the council.
And remember we never came as your masters or conquerers but as workers to this land.
So stop banging on how great bradford was,because it still is a great city,or would you rather prefer 200000 black people in this city.
rkhan187 1 year ago
The asian people came to this city to work in the woolmills and moved into houses that would have been torn down.Through sheer hard work they have revived the old terrace houses and preserved them as an asset for this city.The white working class moved out of the dilapidated old terrace houses and into brand new council estates which dot the the outskirts of the city, and believe me they are no go areas for asians eg buttershaw,wrose,idle,ravenscliffe,holmewood,.

@CRAZYCOZZIE bradford has always had a healthy influx of economic migrants from all over the world, we have to accept that asian people have lived in england for nearly 100 years, with the first few arrivals from india and slovakian gypsies.
no single group or single person is responsible, we have english law and if anyone breaks it, they get put through the courts and jailed. simple as.

@speedfreak18ish The film starts opposite the present day sex shop on Manningham Lane going up towards the turn off for the football ground. It is then cut and carries on about 100m further up with the 3 girls near Thorncliffe Road. All these buildings have been changed. However, from 2:00 you should still be able to see the buildings shown as they are the villas you can see before the traffic lights on the junction with Queens Road which is the road you see at the end of the film on the right.

Amazing footage. In fact I'd like to see all the M&K Bradford footage. it is sad indeed to view Bradford in its current state. Ironically, the architecture in Bradford is still alive, you only need to brush through certain area to view wondeful Victorian buildings, but unfortunately Bradford has a lot of scummy people. That is Bradfords main problem.

These are incredibly priceless--to see how people lived 100 years ago. To see the faces of people who are now only vapors and images. And, in the scope of things, it really wasn't that long ago. It's a beautiful rendition and celebration of their day and lives--and sadly a commentary on our own mortality.
Thanks so much for posting these. (I'm assuming Bradford is in England?...)
