Brighton Beach 1896

[TrancetasticWilza]

why 3 dislikes?! :s were they hoping it would be in 3D!!!

[benbisley]

The beach was just as pebbly then as it is now.

[mukamuka229]

Why did everyone have to dress up all nice everywhere they went? I mean, even on the Beach?!...0_o

[acebiro]

the kids at the end scared the shit out of me

[TheSolitaryHeart]

Little girl: "Mummy mummy, what's that!?

Mother : "What's what my dear?"

Little girl: "That mummy" *Little girl points*.

Mother: "Argggh! A darkie!"

[powerdoom]

The two people born in 1896 who are still living might have existed.

[dazcouz]

they're all slags

[punkedge2]

guys we all were alive during that era but dont have any memory of it because we were other people there for we were re-carnated lol i believe in that

[fielderxei]

They were elegant even on the beach!

[JRproduction101]

hmmmm...I want all people in the world now dressed like this

[1ume]

720p or gtfo

[Florencethomas405]

Feels weird viewing at this video. Its like im seeing ghosts because I'm lookin at dead people!

[peterpeterxxo]

was it taken to the west of the west pier facing east ?. not sure if the palace pier was going in 1896. and it defo not the chain pier.

[TIMOMUKKY]

[lovebhbh]

@TIMOMUKKY no you ronq bucuas i still her alive and iwes there in move

[lovebhbh]

@TIMOMUKKY no you ronq bucuas i still her alive and iwes there in move 

[TIMOMUKKY]

@lovebhbh ronq o_O?

[TIMOMUKKY]

@lovebhbh I realized

[lorileeky]

No wonder women fainted all the time....those outfits would smother...

[Koenstuurwold0]

I think 'Strongman016' & '101Yesman' need to shut the fuck off!!!

[vincomputer]

@vinceLabron28 its amazing word ....

[crazyknight2008]

watching vids like these makes me sad in a way, knowng that everyone in the film is dead,

[Paulina86]

No bikinis? :D lol

[dboiz24]

all these people are in our graveyards decomposing haha

[bompiberlot]

These people who went to the beach ? Of picnic or get wet ? More looks like a fashion show...

[elvaelvirababe]

@vinceLabron28 You receive wi-fi signal on the beach?

[TyVerte]

No HD?

[fullofuploads]

for som reason i allways think of 1800s being really dull lol

[brainburrito]

Omg I almost saw someone's ankle! Flagged for sexual content!  lol

[CrimsonPetal100]

@brainburrito Not ALMOST! Look at the girl on your left at 0:04...the one holding her hat. Her ankles are fully exposed! Such indecency that I had to look away :O

[mineurbizness]

WHERE R THE BATHING SUITS...EVERYBODY LOOKS HOT UNLESS ITS COOL OUT THERE...A PERSON IN A THONG IN THIS PICTURE SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISTURBING TO THEM..LOL

[brucenijanth]

i remembering olden days of the world !!!!!!!its so cute and all r happpy and enjoying her life !!!!!!!!!but nowadays always parents torture childrens to study !!study!!!!study!....

[Impalamark64]

I saw "beach," and clicked on this to see some babes in bikinis.

[thefume]

their mothers must be ashamed at the revealing swimsuits they're parading around in

[2indulgent]

Everybody is all dressed for fun in the sun

[macroevolve]

16 years before the titantic sunk

[BSpearsProductions]

That's so weird, I live here, I've been to this beach loads. Wow look at what they're wearing

[Myro11verity]

Back when skin tight jeans and loose clothes were out of people's mind.

[zperra]

That little girl towards the end scared the shit out of me.

[0SSAMA1988]

what a shitty place it was

[parafleet]

@0SSAMA1988 It looks good to me. Although the social caste system was still hard in effect back then, at least the people didn't behave themselves like inane animal-apes. I respect the thoughts and actions of apes a lot more than I do humans these days. Don't get me wrong: A few idiots will always make the entire population seem ridiculous.

[allergic2kryptonite]

i thot this beach hit an iceberg and sank ... my bad.

[jesselovelyred]

woow That weird, and wth them wearing long dresses i know they was sweating

[FAMEROB]

it will be weird watching big bang theory in in the year 2406 

[chadberry75]

JUST LIKE WE R GOING 2 B THE WALKING DEAD BY 2111...TIME MARCHES ON.

[strongman016]

its weird that everyone on earth in that footage or not....are all dead

[altoids79762]

@strongman016 nope we have like 2 more ppl from that year. Walter breuning was the last American that died from that year.he died april 14 2011

[BrightOnimicon]

@strongman016 Maybe some new borns are still chugging away on life support somewhere :/

[jacobk2]

@strongman016 You know what? On second thought i have to say , that actually a few of the new-borns from circa 1896 may actually be alive ( thought not in that footage) since there are a few people who live to their 120's. But in the whole, you are absolutely correct and it sort of boggles the mind a bit since essentially yes, everyone in the footage or not is dead and has been for many many years.

[paulmrussell12]

@strongman016 and little do the kids in that video know that if they are lucky enough to live beyond their late 50's they will get the pleasure of living through 2 world wars!

[zipsrule]

@strongman016 There might be a few people, not in the footage, alive today. They would be 115 years old.

[phildevitt]

@strongman016 It might sound surprising, but that's not necessarily true. The confirmed oldest living person int he world as of Aug. 15, 2011, is Besse Cooper of the United States. She is 114 years, 354 days old. She was born in 1896, the year this was filmed. The No. 2 oldest living person was also born in 1896. Weird, huh?

[strongman016]

@phildevitt lol that is interesting...i was just speaking in generalities though. Still its kinda sad and eerie watching a bunch of happy people in a world that doesn't exist anymore...well for them anyways lol

[strongman016]

@101yesman look dude i'm not looking for some holier-than-thou look-whos-still-alive bullshit. i just thought "wow a whole generation of people alive there, but not anymore." I dont need a fucking history lesson on the longevity of people, tortoises, or any other long lived animal. Get off your high horse and teach a class if you have some much information...or better yet make like the rest of the people in this video and die. Asshole.

[101yesman]

@strongman016 You will perish before me heartless idiot. Not because you are over twice my age, but because you are a narrow-minded moron. You will just be another statistic. You honestly think you will be remembered even 6 months after? You will be an unknown. Recycled body and ceased mind capability for eternity. Continue with your bad/okay unhappy, meaningless life until you meet your ultimate fate. While you still can, think before you handle a device much more complex than your true essence

[strongman016]

@101yesman right....whatever man I don't really know what you mean by 'handling a device more complex than...whatever' but I'll just leave it at that. And if I am twice your age then I'd drop the star trek/lord of the rings/master of the universe speak...chicks dont dig that. Have a good life man.

[101yesman]

@strongman016 A computer DERP DERP fucking worthless piece of garbage. Fuck, what percentage of your brain is shit? Why don't you suffer some more and keep your egotistical comments to yourself in the future "strong man" aka insecure little weakling.

[strongman016]

@101yesman You are an idiot. Get off the computer or "DERP DERP" and get laid. Now fuck off I don't want to hear anything back from you, you weird little prick.

[101yesman]

@strongman016 It's not my fault your room temperature IQ cannot comprehend simple topics. For the record I have and you are still the sad little virgin boy that you always will be at twice my age. "Strong man," I'd love to fight your all talk, weak, scrawny ass and make you remember your pathetic childhood where you were abused both mentally and physically. You psychologically damaged worthless pile of manure.

[MrBEB123]

@strongman016 They are now the grateful dead. They lived during a better time period with no Sports, Communism or other nutty artificial ideas.

[patjoethebaker]

@strongman016 amazingly no. the worlds oldest living woman was born in 1896, her name is besse cooper.

[JamesBond0034]

@strongman016 Besse Cooper from Georgia, USA, is still alive ;)

[ishtheangel]

@strongman016 yes even those children right at the end!

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

@strongman016 Kinda, but not really. I mean, all of us are going to die someday as well.

Maybe kids in 100 years time will look back on footage from 2011 and say "damn, look at all those dead people".

[crazy3d]

@strongman016 No dumbass, weird would be that a huge number would be alive, stop the gay comments on the dead on old films wow you people are retarded.

[strongman016]

@crazy3d you cant just watch a youtube video without being an asshole can you? unbelievable

[crazy3d]

@strongman016 Believe it and live with it, after seeing 10 of this videos and reading the same retarded comment on top of everyone i had enough, no idiots the weird thing would be that these people would be alive.

[strongman016]

@crazy3d than why the fuck are you watching these vids? whatever man. peace

[TheGREATEST95]

@strongman016 there is still two people alive and they were born in 1896 but there is still probably at least a hundread people alive but u got to remember they probably dont have proof because alot of people dont have birth certificates

[priapus56]

@strongman016 ...and, sadly we will share the same fate. The party doesn't last forever. Better get down and enjoy it.

[Mattwad]

@strongman016

Actually there's a handful of people still alive form that time period. 

[laura20022004]

So im guessing those people are dead. its like watching dead people

[goodkarma33]

You just witnessed what you were never meant to see. Thanks Thomas Edison!

[stig781]

@goodkarma33 This is from the UK not US.

[ironmantis25]

why would they wear suits and dresses in a beach

[chicseeker]

wow nobody wants to go into the water? why all the clothes?? lol

[rbsvy91368]

England never had that hot of weather. Summers were always cool. Thanks to global warming, that's changed.

[314159192829]

@rbsvy91368 Your summers still are cold champ

[418sadeyes]

It is odd watching these people...beautiful..but heartbreaking really...They have no idea what will be happening in about 15 yrs, or worst still, in 1925, that the seeds were being sown by a madman...in Austria....But I'm glad for them, really..

[hirundine]

Which ones are the mods? ;-] ........ thanks for the opportunity to view this film. I'm curious to know whether this, is from the Merton library?

[csrtitus]

Everyone in that film is dead.

[MASTERmw100]

@csrtitus LOL yeah they are all dead, soon we 7 billion people will be dead 2 in the next 100 years.

[LovableNails]

@MASTERmw100 ikr and when they watch our video

[Nuttymutts]

Is this the beach? Where are all the mico-bikinis?

[JakeDonaghue]

how funny, people still act the same way when they see someone recording

[macroevolve]

The gay 90's

[macroevolve]

How did this survive 115 years when They couldn't save all of the Honeymooners from the 50's

[yourallstoopid]

if u had money and could conduct your self in public in correctly* wearing shoes* then you probly would of have nothing to worry about

[laticq]

ЗагараютЪ!

[Blake4014]

imagine the looks these conservative folks would give to a typical beach going young girl in a bikini at a beach today!! eyes would fall out of their heads!!! oh what a different world!

[lawl495]

is this a nude beach..?

[scoot24925]

thats my beach,pity cause all the people on this video are dead

[fgjfdgjf]

Hey where is Snookie & The Situation????

[commandvideo]

why nobody is naked ? was that immoral back then ?

[notadjfor1]

wow they're a bit underdressed for the beach don't you think?

[doomfreezzer61]

in this video are only dead persons

[starvetodeath123]

The good ol' 90s

[Abillywoprocker]

Olha aí gente bonita na praia em 1896 q dia de sol....hahahaha ! Esses videos são fantásticos !

[Gibbo118]

Phwoar I got a glimpse of a ladies ankle then. What a provocative slut. 

[UmbrellaFitzgerald]

the good old days when the white man could walk in public without being bothered by the negro.

[Pedy1968]

I love the old times...

[tehmattbookpro]

Everyone in this video is dead.

[nottheduck1]

@tehmattbookpro wtf put on most videos from late 50s-early 60s and you can say the same thing.

[tehmattbookpro]

@nottheduck1 I probably could. You should create a YouTube account called CaptainObvious; but I'm sure you'd be the first to point out that the account name is already taken. Thanks for your comment, though. I was quite confused wondering if everyone in most videos from the late 50s-early 60s were actually alive and kicking. Thanks to you, the matter has been resolved and we can all move on with our lives.

[nottheduck1]

@tehmattbookpro Your calling me captain obvious?  Thats the kettle calling the pot black.

[tehmattbookpro]

@nottheduck1 It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait...it's Captain Obvious!

[inkey2]

look how formal people dressed back then.....and on the beach yet

[Scrabbler27]

I would love to go back in time.

[rickster348]

man,.....those women are hot!

[MsDenise85]

@hanriberes lmfaooooooooooo

[sgtbadass1]

RIP eveyone in this video

[angelit161]

Did you see how those women were dressed to the beach? lol women are practically nude these days at the beach compared to this.

[Agonar81]

look at those hot beach babes

[fairalways]

Not to be crass, but think how much everybody stank back in those days. Imagine being on a crowded subway in the heat of Summer. Men often owned only one good suit, and aired it out at night. We probably were more "smell oriented" back then.

[bored1980]

Mrs Miggins! Cover you ankles at ONCE!

[Icanseeu123able]

It's not like the people now days with their breast and butt showing.

[GriffinNary]

Brighton Beach? I wonder if there are used syringes discarded about the place like the times I used to visit...

[Portis1Luv]

Oh, those racy Victorians.

[nebechadnezzar64]

part of me wishes i could spend some time in that era to see how life was different, but as an African-American, that probably wouldn't be the best idea lol.

[msmusicmaker]

@nebechadnezzar64 lol yeah I thought the same thing!

[Lemon020202]

@nebechadnezzar64 HAHAHAAAAA LOL.. cause you'd be capured. hey look at the bright side, you'd get 3 meals and live rent free? lol. like that comment.

[rickster348]

@nebechadnezzar64 I don't know, has the media always told us the truth?

[charltonho]

You and me both- I'm Asian American, and I'm pretty sure that our lives in 1896 would have been tough

[orrkhari]

@nebechadnezzar64 lol

[RoninAvenger]

@nebechadnezzar64 depends, if you were in England as this film is you wouldn't have that much crap to deal with like you would if you were in America, the English are normally less racist and ignorant than the Americans back then

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger the americans back then were generally english you idiot

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl Umm "idiot" English is the name for people who live in England, Americans speak english, doesn't make them english.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger i hate english faggots and i hate american tubs of lard.

americans are a fatter version of english ugly fucks

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl Better than your smelly danish Scandinavian shit. We got alot of you around here, and your brothers in blood the Finnish and Norwegians. Bunch of cock eyed panzies if you ask me, spend to much time rotting away in your damn saunas to ever do something useful. Stay on your 1 mile wide faroe islands prick.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger explains your view on the outworld.

while scandinavians are germanic just like the english; the finnish are finno-ugric. usually people don't use the "sauna" around scandinavia. only the Finns do. you probably looked up the Faroe Islands and got shit about Denmark.

i pity the english fool with his yellow, crooked teeth. go try and get yourself a fuck ugly english girlfriend, you know the ones who have greasy striped hair and no abilities to keep control of their fat body.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger how in the fucking fuck are the Finnish brothers with my people? are you delusional or are you brought up to life in the wrong way?

fucking smelly english cunt. 65 million people stuffed into a small and ugly island. i bet you have to sit and gneed your face on your fat sisters and your tub of lard you call "mother". I've never seen something as ugly as english women and never something as much of a joke as an english "man".

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger ahaa...forgive me my misunderstanding. youre american aren't you?

the most useless nation ever formed by runaway's from europe who got raped too much to be able to stay.

it will be a fine day in hell when scandinavians are counted as "a lot" in america.

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl I could care less about your offenses to America because I could care less about America.

As for the other comment, if you ever leave your island of wonders, youll see that America has a lot of Scandinavian Immigrants and people descended from them, especially in states like Minnesota.

So yes they are counted as a very big majority in northern parts and the midwest of the US. I've grown up around nothing but Finnish and Norwegian people like you. Im not one. Thank god.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger Finnish people are not even Scandinavian. you are an idiot.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger they live in Fennoscandia but they are not Germanic like the rest. they're Finno-Ugric

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl Yeah the German population here is HUGE but for some reason the Scandinavian culture is the only one that is used or even seen there.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger german and germanic is not the same thing..

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl German and Germanic are very close and Germanic is ancestral to the German people.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger germanic is not ancestral fucktard.

germans are germanic and thats it.

[RoninAvenger]

@Peppepoppldoppl You don't call German people Germanic anymore, it would be like me calling you a Norseman, you aren't thats for damn sure. You might coem from that area but you sure aren't one.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@RoninAvenger what am i not? am i not Norwegian? (Norsemen don't exist anymore btw).

does my area count as Norway? how?

what a joke.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@nebechadnezzar64 i dont think life was too hard for a negro back then.

reality did not live until now. only the propaganda

[CHAMPIONES09]

@nebechadnezzar64

lol

[Xchrstian4Agnostism]

@nebechadnezzar64

lmaooooooooooooooo... I cant stop laughing....

[bikegirl2]

@nebechadnezzar64 in England during that period a African American person would be so rare to see that many people would want to talk to you, don't confuse England with the USA or that ear,middle class Victorians were far to proper to insult some on to their face, it was the English who first outlawed slavery!

[00RosieJessie00]

isn't it crazy to think that in 100 years or so from now, everybody that lives today will be dead? :O weird thought

[Jormaattori112]

aika vanha ...

[Jormaattori112]

aika vanha

[whathoney73]

way before the bikini...even the little girl at 0:30 would be about 122 years old now.

[Jeff98177]

The kids who walked in front of the camera at :30 didn't wave or make faces or anything. They probably had no idea what the photographer was doing.

[matrox]

The women in the long black dresses look like the walking dead.

[cliftongal51]

How could they be alive in 2010 if they were adults in 1896?

[BradComis]

people loved them some hats back then

[kidrainenfina]

so how the girls swim at the beach??

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Aaaahhhh... nothing better than a blazing hot day at the beach and 8 layers of head-to-toe clothing!

[zacatetas]

@TechnicalEvaluation yeah! WTF

[ultimessence]

@TechnicalEvaluation - of course on Brighton Beach it's NEVER blazing hot, in fact it's usually quite chilly, So these ghosts from the end of the Victorian era 115 years ago were dressed just right!

[I752009]

@TechnicalEvaluation No Sunburns!!

[afewtube]

I think the idea was, the sea air was good for them, they weren't concerned about getting a sun tan, in fact a tanned face was seen as lower class, because the lower class got tanned faces from working outdoors.

[kingobnoxious]

The oldest confirmed living people today were all born in 1896. 3 Americans, 1 Japanese, 1 Italian and 1 Frenchman, apart from those 6 who are still alive, everyone else who walked the earth when this was filmed would be dust.

[ScotlandSerenity]

anyone in this video is at least 115 years old and thats if they were young babys it is scary but this a great glimpse at the past as well

[collegegal79]

that was so cool its crazy to see how fancy they looked being at the beach

[twoslices]

what no bikinis !!

[owtatowttowt]

love these. nae been ti Brighton, furthest doon av bin is Cornwall. amazing this is still around, eh! 1896! 'e year affore mi Great Granda was born.

an amazing man, av his WW! photae. he'd bin about seventeen atthe time. best picture I've seen of him & there aren't many.

so... good. good!

[Portis1Luv]

@owtatowttowt I like the way you talk. :)

[owtatowttowt]

@Portis1Luv ta verry much. am fae Aiberdeen, if yir wonderin. alot o' folk comment on it. I like ti type how ah spik.

[richmond450]

This was back when civilized humans occupied Brighton Beach, not Russian jews.

[brrrrantarctica]

@richmond450 This is the Brighton Beach in England, not in New York. But I guess your inability to read makes you even less civilized than my dear Russian Jews...

[ebonics4everyone]

@brrrrantarctica Yes. I think Freddy Mercury wrote the song "Brighton Rock" about the place.
