[Ashitaka255]

Well I learned one thing... EVERYONE wore hats in 1903

[Aldarinn]

London!! I love you!!!

[schnibsey]

This is great! Wish I could lip read. Saw on the tv once a lip reader reading from real WW1 footage it added something extra to the scene I love these movie fossils... any lip readers out there......

[mellowmark1]

I have never seen so many hats in all my life.

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

[Glitterbomb222]

where were all the women?

[yardiesue]

Too funny, not a petticoat in sight :)

[superhamzah85]

People were so well dressed back then. Shows a kind of respect for public life.

Could you imagine anyone mooning or being rude...probably...as they'd probably avoid the dodgy areas just as they do today.

[wownouser]

Absolutely amazing.

[BROADTRAIN1979]

Truly fantastic footage of london liverpool streets ,petticoat lane, my mum and dad used to shop there back in the 50s brilliant. more !more!

[robahmet1]

this is so interesting, they all are so intrested about the carmera lol, i might have seen a relative

[twyborn29]

Astonishing footage of Middlesex St. And fascinating to see how 100 years ago many of the traders seem to be Jewish. Really important to have a record of the old Jewish East End. Are there any other films showing the Jewish community? Thanx

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

@twyborn29 All of the traders were are and likely always will be jewish.

[reubs8]

@twyborn29 I'm sorry but Jews have destroyed not only this country but every other country in the West. It all goes back to the 1600s and the formation of central banks across Europe, from that point on Jews secured monopoly power over the banks and subsequently the nation's capital. Once you control the money, you direct the policy and from there a domino effect takes over with each industry and service gradually falling under Jewish control. Once in power Jews ravaged every good thing in sight

[naughtyboymessiah]

a great glimpse into the ghosts of the past. youtube is genius.

[jerrymail]

Really fantastic! I love this era...That what we call here in France the "Belle Epoque"!

You Tube is a time machine! ^^

[lkijju]

Staggeringly clear footage for it's age. Many thanks for posting it.

[lamagamorgana]

I love how they all freeze and pose! Apart from the guy who's selling.. wonder what :)

[PonFarrTime]
