Am I the only one who finds these old videos really quite moving? It's probably with this being 116 years old and the realisation that everybody you see here is long gone. These people seem to be staring at us through time.
it is very moving. The tram passes in front of the house where i live now. I can see the window of the room where i sit every morning and drink tea 117 years later!
People here in this movie, filmed in Bradford have come out to witness movies being made they are absolutely amazed, little did they know that someone will be watching them120 years in the future long after they've died on a handheld electronic device half way around the world. This is the closest we're going to get to a time machine, absolutely awesome . I actually live in Bradford in 2023, the buildings are still there, but sadly all these people have been long gone, R I P.
Oh for a time machine. I'd love to strap a GoPro on a tram and capture such footage in glorious HD with colour and sound. The city of my birth has changed even in my time.
You fat turd, Just as Great britain came and invaded india and enslaved all its population and u did the same in many parts of Africa. Alot of the men that migrated to Uk from these foreign cojntries some of which were soldiers in the 2nd world war fighting for Britain. So you can do 1 with those snidey comments.
Amazing, It's 1902 & people are still at the horse & cart stage yet those magnificent buildings in the town centre have stood proud for hundreds of years already, how the heck did these people achieve such feats of construction & architecture many many years before this footage is gathered ?
How did they create buildings of such magnificence like the cathedrals covered in ornamental sacred geometry and to such a precision? Why are there tunnels all across the UK and the world, even India, how were they made? I’ve seen the most beautiful ornate underground bathrooms and more and you have to question - with what tools, with what tech? I hazard a guess that our ancestry was much more advanced than our schools and society give them credit for. I believe our buildings of old especially the churches and mansions could possible harness energy from the ether and flowing water underneath these beautiful buildings using sound/frequency/vibration. Cathedral - cathode. I believe the way these buildings are designed is a form of technology we do not understand very well yet. Our tech today is only now advanced enough that we can somewhat repair and replicate such beauty.
Very moving - a lost world. A bygone era that can never return. How many of us remember passing The Spotted House pub on our journeys out of Bradford toward Skipton and beyond!
When I frequented the place back in the mid 80's through to the mid 90's, it was called 'spotty's disco bar' lol - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than spotty's was then. I wonder what ever happened to Linda the DJ - my god she was so cute :)
How quickly the time goes by oh my god it was about 120 years ago and look at it how beautiful it was and now imagine another 100 years in feature people Will BE looking bk at us and thinking and will be saying"WOW" good old days
Bradford of Old, when everyone was well dressed, clean, and appreciated their hometown..... What a shame that in the last 40 yrs, it's become the epitome of how to ruin a great city...... Lived in Bradford 60+ yrs, so what do I know?
I think parts of Manningham are still very wealthy, looking at it, it’s too heavy with Asian people but that doesn’t make it poverty stricken-none you I’ve only been down the main road, as you head out to Saltaire. Quite enjoying the place tbh but f*** trying to get in somewhere to eat Mon-Wed-impossible on ur own
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@George Kingsley thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
In some ways i could agree, it was extremely simple days, well dressed people etc. But what makes you say it was a good town ? Is it no longer a good town ?
@@velokuhlemkhwanazi From your Whitr supremacist perspective I can see how the fact that Pak Muslims migrated into Bradford has made the days from good old days to now bad days. But for us it is now the good days. Many of the Muslims and Indians that migrated to Britain had fought in 2nd world war for Britain, so they deserve to be here. When Britain came to India they enslaved the population, you are a people who believe you are greater then the others. But this is far from the truth
Lovely seeing this old footage. I recognise it well. Many thianks. Notice the distinct lack of elderly people. It's quite sad really that life expectancy wasn't so high in those days.
I noticed too very few girls, it's mostly young boys and grown men and the odd woman. Contrary to popular opinion, people aren't living longer today. I heard life expectancy got better during thee 1920s, but once the NHS was (basically replacing natural health cures and remedies with big pharma health care) then that's when things started to change, and remember that the NHS was set up by William Beveridge who was a eugenicist. Back then things like cancer was unheard of, so something in our environment is contributing to this IMO, and it doesn't help with all the EMF radiation that's everywhere from mobile phones and wifi and 5G masts.
Midland Hotel and/or Forster Square Railway station on right. I think the arched entrances lead to the trains. Through one of these was a slot machine where for a penny or two you could type a short message and it would be printed with indentations onto a metal strip. 1:05 turning right to go up Manor Row 1:18 in the entrance on the right, then turn left, also took you down to the platforms 1:42 think this was the registry office where you could get married 1:44 just past here on the right was a NHS clinic. In the early 60s they did eye tests by putting stinging drops in your eyes. Also gave ‘treatment’ for weak asthmatic children who would have to wear goggles and sit in front of a sunlamp. 2:32 on Manningham Lane. Think the building on the right with the pillars used to be a cinema. Somewhere on here on the right was a disco popular in the mid to late 60s. Live singing and records. DJ had to keep telling everyone not to stamp their feet when he played Dave Clark’s Bits and Pieces because it made the needle jump (or was it Glad All Over?). 7:14 entrance to Lister Park ahead. Right fork goes to Shipley, left spoon is for your soup! Priceless film!
[1:42] You're right that was The Registry Office, my sister got married there. At the top of Manor Row, only glimpsed by it's iron railings is Carlton Grammar School which I attended, just next to the school I believe it was a bank or a building society that had a bus stop where I caught the bus back into the city centre. [2:32] The building with the canopy front is The Theatre Royal, originally an old music hall and then a cinema. Not seen on the film but a bit further along on the other side of the road was the large department store 'Busbys', a long gothic style building that always looked clean compared with most of the soot black buildings in the city centre. I was always fascinated by the cash-carrying system which moved cash from the various sales counters from the shop floor up to their finance department by way of long sturdy looking capsules which hurtled along tubular caged trackways. [7:14] Although officially named Lister Park, I always knew it referred to as Manningham Park. The right fork onto Keighley Road led to Saltaire where the old engine shed building was located at the roundabout, in 2003 it was converted into 'The Old Tramshed' restaurant and bar, and then later into a live venue 'The Hop Saltaire', not sure what it is now I haven't lived in Bradford since the 70's . My father's uncles, and also his grandad, all worked on the trams, and my great grandfather actually died whilst at work in the tram shed, so this film was especially fascinating for me.
I don't think there is anywhere in the world which is like it used to be back then ... but if you find somewhere, why don't you go there? I prefer times as they are now.
One thing to notice in years gone by, like these...there is no litter about. If anyone had anything to throw out, they waited until they got home, and put it their bin. Of course there were no takeaways, they weren't heard of. What would these people think if they saw today, how others drop litter to the ground, and couldn't care less that someone has to pick it up.
If you look at the street bins, they are normally overfull with rubbish falling out. Can't blame joe public for inept councils not providing enough bins and not emptying them often enough
I hate seeing people dropping litter, but it must be said, if you think dog fouling is bad, imagine walking around Bradford in this era with the amount of horse drawn traffic. In an age of prosperity I'm assuming though that the council in those days had the funding to employ enough street cleaners, unlike the present day.
Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
Just go and walk around little Germany at the bottom of Leeds rd and see how nice the building are. I went the other day a real eye opener to some beautiful Victorian architecture. But unfortunately Bradford council decided to pull the the rest of the city centre down.
Progress and change in life is very subtle and as you get older the past does not seem as distant but watching film from earlier times shows with clarity how society has changed
The walls of Lister Park need raising to thier original hieght. One day When I have nothing better to do I wil contact them conservation gradeed proprty people to make a formal complaint.
Find this really interesting. All the women have their hair covered and dressed very modestly. Not having a go at anyone but how times change.....amazing footage but yes most of the young lads would in 12 years be off to a war from which they probably wouldn’t return, to die for leaders they never met, how times don’t change.....
I thought that too, off to war to fight the Germans but I wonder if any of them would have gone if they knew the whole of Bradford would be invaded by Pakistanis and Bengali’s. Their homes they grew up in and neighbours would one day vanish and the freedom they died for was to be handed down to a new British co-alliance 🇬🇧 🇵🇰 Where the streets of Bradford would be more dangerous than German occupation, would they have gone to war then!
superm lol “streets of Bradford would be more dangerous then German occupation” 😂😂 you do realise millions of Pakistanis/ Indians and Bengalis fought for the allies in WW2.
The night after I first watched this video, I had a dream that I was driving towards Bradford along the M 606, and the guy at 5:19 was coming towards me on his 3-wheeler in the outside lane. 😮 I woke up just before we collided, but it freaked me out all the next day.
I don’t what it is but I just love the simplicity of those days, when there was no cars to worry about looking out for, clothes were better made, buildings were more thoroughly constructed, people were more charitable, society was just so much more authentic back then.
@@IbnShahid no they wouldn't. Swan arcade, kirkgate market, the outdoor markets, forster square (not the station), numerous other shopping streets of beautiful buildings, the ten platform exchange train station, the tram system, many music halls, pubs, cinemas and theatres, ALL knocked down and replaced with nothing or garbage. Your ignorance of Bradford's grand history is obvious.
Alot of comments hinting towards Bradford being a failed city due to the Asian influx... It's my opinion that the main cause of Bradford's failure has been lack of transport links. From inadequate canal infrastructure, to the closure and lack of established through train lines, to the cancellation and lack of planned through motorways, from being ahead of Leeds , Bradford is now far far behind.
Every single thing I loved in Bradford had become an Asian clothes shop, takeaway or Asian events place I think you might be ignorant of this fact and how much more Asian it has become since the 90's. This is the number 1 reason people don't want to come to Bradford.
@@DamnDealDone immigrants like my family usually settle in the cheapest area when they arrive, subsequent immigrants then also settle arround those areas due to low cost and familiar people, the shops arround them will reflect the people they serve. The areas of Bradford with better transport links are the areas that are seen to be more affluent and have less 1st, second and third generation immigrants, simple economics and sociology. I live in Bradford buy have worked in Skipton and Leeds for 20 years. Better transport links would have increased house prices, created more wealth helped the larger business and offices thrive, rather than just the current takeaways, barbers, phone shops etc etc.
@@WillScarlet1991 not true. In the 90's Bradford was multicultural and had something for everyone. It is monocultural now. You seem pretty ignorant of this.
These big, bustling, modern cities with their fancy contraptions such as trams and motion film cameras are too much for me! If I can't get back to Stonehenge, I'll settle for Cornwall.
Bradford 1902, I think it would be safe to say places that were Rich once are now Poor and the Poor are now Rich places. It seems Life is consistently inconsistent with CHANGES. RCJ/LEO
@@Uhuss-qq6cq are you blaming white people for the riots? I see no white people in the footage of people throwing stones at the police and lighting fires.
No. The Swan Arcade was situated directly opposite the Wool Exchange, the tall concrete block, which was Arndale House (not Centre), was built on the site. Where they turn right at the Midland Hotel, turn left and it was less than 200 yards away, on Market Street. .
It’s really a massive dump now so strange to see so many well dressed people ( Sunday best ) now if I drive into town I only see Silvar Kameze, Pyjamas, niqabs/burkas and talibhans.
@@martinh9099 at same time creating India's infarstructure, it's civil service, legal system, railways, postal & telegraph systems, educational establishments, laying the foundation of the world's largest democracy by taking power out of the hands of moguls and Maharajas and handing back to the people's elected leaders and not leaving the place high and dry but continuing to provide financial aid and expertise. Not forgetting giving them a language so all Indians could speak to each other and allowing emigration to the old mother country. The word Pakistan didn't even exist in 1902. And the so called bleeding was called trade, the benefit to India from 1858-1947 remained virtually static against worldwide deteriorating trade benefits.
@@davidreed9671 where was the British when Indians were starving to death huh? And the Indian subcontinent had many languages they could communicate through,why do you guys act like hero’s when you stripped India of so much,the Rosetta Stone being one of them never mind the $45 trillion you took of us,If Britain never colonised India ,today they would be a VERY wealthy and VERY health and VERY modern country.You took that away from us , you didn’t give us anything.
28th December 1888 murder bradford,John Gill murder scene its just over the road from the Bellevue boys and girls school lookout for the bovril advertisement it's around the back there abouts.this murder had a connection(a slight connection)to the White Chapel murder in 1888.I wonder if the film or when it was filmed back then 1902 I wonder if they stopped filming near the Gill murder scene out of respect of murder victim John Gill or as it been cutout in modern day times.
Maybe if William Gull who was the Queen's physician, John Netley the coachdriver and Walter Sickert the painter had anything to do with it, and I believe they were involved in the Whitechapel murders. Only 5 women murdered, it's obvious Jack the Ripper wasn't a serial killer.
@@WillScarlet1991 These lot need history lessons. As much as I love Britain, their forefathers colonized and pillaged half the globe and now these have a problem with us migrants.
Wow amazing bradford looks better from historical years than present... and no it is not due to migration...a lot of cities had migration ...in my humble opinion it is due to poor leadership decisions, like why house all migrants in catchment areas surrounding the centre in the first place? Also as is obvious early bradford had a lot of jewish community theres buildings still exist built by them...after balfour they all emigrated to occupied land and the so called "native british" moved to surrounding areas...which are more developed than central bradford...the divided community leadership ruined bradford be it white, asian or whatever else.
@@IbnShahid Permanently pregnant morbidly obese Pakistani women in headscarfs that can't speak English wadling about on every single street. African refugees loitering on every single corner. Nothign but takeaways and asian clothes shops. Yep, it's becoming as close to a 3rd world country as it is possible to get in England. Give it another 50 years and it will be one of the worst places to live in the UK thanks to your lot.
And in another 115 years Amazon could have buit an overhead pods public transport system with all the money it hoing to keep on making, alng with a few partners kieghley to Bradford in 20 mins Drunks and dadtard free.

This is the Bradford of young J.B. Priestley, a city then opulent and now deprived.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

How active life was then now everyone in cars people used to communicate with each other back then
DEM GOOD OL'DAYS Of Bradford UK
Not an overweight person in sight.
But you were middle aged in your twenties, and probably dead by fifty. No NHS, antibiotics, Xrays etc
@@martinh9099 Take a walk around Undercliffe Cemetery, I think you'll find that people lived to some pretty ripe old ages.
@janetattwood5581 the ones who could afford a burial and a headstone tended to have better diets and less physically gruelling jobs.
I don’t what it is but I just love the simplicity of those days, when there was no cars to worry about looking out for, clothes were better made, buildings were more thoroughly constructed, people were more charitable, society was just so much more authentic back then.
Very nice old movie good
Clean white Britain. An era never to come again.
AWW, poor Tommy Robinson is tearing up!
I love how Bradford looked back then yes there was poverty and people struggled but we have lost our heritage I feel
Imagine - most of the buildings we see here would be fairly new
That's true, but I think they'd be covered in soot due to all the fumes from the local mill chimneys.
I wonder how impressed our ancestors would be with Bradford now?
Oh they’d be cool with it.
@@IbnShahid no they wouldn't. Swan arcade, kirkgate market, the outdoor markets, forster square (not the station), numerous other shopping streets of beautiful buildings, the ten platform exchange train station, the tram system, many music halls, pubs, cinemas and theatres, ALL knocked down and replaced with nothing or garbage. Your ignorance of Bradford's grand history is obvious.
1:16 As soon as that wall appeared I knew it was the ramp to Foster Square.
Pity poor Bradford!!!!
In those days you could probably say with pride "I'm from Bradford" ...
Bradford has a diff misfortune rest of UK has got East European Untermensh invading the country
Got me thinking that all the young lads you see. 12 years later would be marching off to the war to end all wars
Red Heckler wars never end they only advance in technology to try out on each other
Try walking through Bradford city centre now, you won't hear any Bradford accents.
Er, yes you will. Unless you're a racist of course 🙄
Alot of comments hinting towards Bradford being a failed city due to the Asian influx... It's my opinion that the main cause of Bradford's failure has been lack of transport links. From inadequate canal infrastructure, to the closure and lack of established through train lines, to the cancellation and lack of planned through motorways, from being ahead of Leeds , Bradford is now far far behind.
Every single thing I loved in Bradford had become an Asian clothes shop, takeaway or Asian events place I think you might be ignorant of this fact and how much more Asian it has become since the 90's. This is the number 1 reason people don't want to come to Bradford.
@@DamnDealDone immigrants like my family usually settle in the cheapest area when they arrive, subsequent immigrants then also settle arround those areas due to low cost and familiar people, the shops arround them will reflect the people they serve. The areas of Bradford with better transport links are the areas that are seen to be more affluent and have less 1st, second and third generation immigrants, simple economics and sociology. I live in Bradford buy have worked in Skipton and Leeds for 20 years.
Better transport links would have increased house prices, created more wealth helped the larger business and offices thrive, rather than just the current takeaways, barbers, phone shops etc etc.
loss of manufacturing. everythings made in china now
@@DamnDealDone Only racists won't come to Bradford.
@@WillScarlet1991 not true. In the 90's Bradford was multicultural and had something for everyone. It is monocultural now. You seem pretty ignorant of this.
Did anyone else follow along using Google maps from Forster Square to Lister Park?
These big, bustling, modern cities with their fancy contraptions such as trams and motion film cameras are too much for me! If I can't get back to Stonehenge, I'll settle for Cornwall.
Back in the day when kids played outside......
They lived about ten to a small house, can't blame them for going outside as much as possible
1:12 to right is midland hotel next to train station
Hello family 💖
time is holy
Time is transcendent!!!
Utterly tragic
How much cleaner those streets were in comparison to today!!! No fast food litter! No graffiti! How we have fallen!!!
it's a disgrace now, everything
@@binoched9302 Horse crap doesn't smell that bad tbh. Horse piss is gross though
Maningham Lane love Bradford ❤
Would be good to see a split screen now and then, oh, maybe not lol
Bradford 1902,
I think it would be safe to say places that were Rich once are now Poor and the Poor are now Rich places. It seems Life is consistently inconsistent with CHANGES.
RCJ/LEO
Dry soap new on me whoed ever think of that one !
Mannigham Lane and Oak Lane. 100 years later the Bradford Riots
Don’t cause racial tensions and you won’t get riots.
@@Uhuss-qq6cq are you blaming white people for the riots? I see no white people in the footage of people throwing stones at the police and lighting fires.
@@DamnDealDone That's because the racists scarpered just before the cops showed up.
@@WillScarlet1991 that's not true.
Is the Swan Arcade featured in any of this footage?
No. The Swan Arcade was situated directly opposite the Wool Exchange, the tall concrete block, which was Arndale House (not Centre), was built on the site. Where they turn right at the Midland Hotel, turn left and it was less than 200 yards away, on Market Street.
.
It’s really a massive dump now so strange to see so many well dressed people ( Sunday best ) now if I drive into town I only see Silvar Kameze, Pyjamas, niqabs/burkas and talibhans.
When this was filmed, the British were in India/Pakistan and basically bleeding the place dry
@@martinh9099 so its a karma fail. And the clothes and food on oak lane are better than ever
@@martinh9099 at same time creating India's infarstructure, it's civil service, legal system, railways, postal & telegraph systems, educational establishments, laying the foundation of the world's largest democracy by taking power out of the hands of moguls and Maharajas and handing back to the people's elected leaders and not leaving the place high and dry but continuing to provide financial aid and expertise. Not forgetting giving them a language so all Indians could speak to each other and allowing emigration to the old mother country. The word Pakistan didn't even exist in 1902. And the so called bleeding was called trade, the benefit to India from 1858-1947 remained virtually static against worldwide deteriorating trade benefits.
@@davidreed9671 where was the British when Indians were starving to death huh? And the Indian subcontinent had many languages they could communicate through,why do you guys act like hero’s when you stripped India of so much,the Rosetta Stone being one of them never mind the $45 trillion you took of us,If Britain never colonised India ,today they would be a VERY wealthy and VERY health and VERY modern country.You took that away from us , you didn’t give us anything.
１９０２年の頃の映像🎥回してるのは８ミリビデオだろうな。
Manningham Lane
It looked great back then, now its a complete no go zone and a complete dump, worst city in the UK.
Lol no go zone, yeah right mate 😂😂
a lot of the UK is dumpy , some of it looks third World,
No go zones? Stop talking shite.
Guess you haven't been to Coventry then. Lol
There's no go zone's in Sheffield, they're run by chavz.
everyone is trying to come in camera
28th December 1888 murder bradford,John Gill murder scene its just over the road from the Bellevue boys and girls school lookout for the bovril advertisement it's around the back there abouts.this murder had a connection(a slight connection)to the White Chapel murder in 1888.I wonder if the film or when it was filmed back then 1902 I wonder if they stopped filming near the Gill murder scene out of respect of murder victim John Gill or as it been cutout in modern day times.
Maybe if William Gull who was the Queen's physician, John Netley the coachdriver and Walter Sickert the painter had anything to do with it, and I believe they were involved in the Whitechapel murders. Only 5 women murdered, it's obvious Jack the Ripper wasn't a serial killer.
Can somebody tell me what st my video is on... I made a lil beat and used a b&w vid of a tram ride in Bradford... Random I know
factories and mills back then . no more. Britain lost its manufacturing to China . jobless and drugs now
is there a part 2 to this .. does it continue along the road
Zarina Hafejee it was in 1902 they probably ran out of record time lol
Zarina Hafejee I think my vid has the other part? I used it for a beats visual
Back when it was still white
I wonder how many people watching this feel as though they've walked those streets in that time..? Reincarnation ? Who knows ?
Now it's Asians land
Stop lying. Majority of Bradfordians are White.
Best years ever safer no crime hardly

At 1:19... The tax office is still there... Good editing but at least take the tax office out
Before Modernism...
Not a Asian in sight
At least they can use grammar properly, racist turd 🙄
@@WillScarlet1991 These lot need history lessons. As much as I love Britain, their forefathers colonized and pillaged half the globe and now these have a problem with us migrants.
Wow amazing bradford looks better from historical years than present... and no it is not due to migration...a lot of cities had migration ...in my humble opinion it is due to poor leadership decisions, like why house all migrants in catchment areas surrounding the centre in the first place? Also as is obvious early bradford had a lot of jewish community theres buildings still exist built by them...after balfour they all emigrated to occupied land and the so called "native british" moved to surrounding areas...which are more developed than central bradford...the divided community leadership ruined bradford be it white, asian or whatever else.
..its more like a 3rd world town now!
No it isn’t.
@@IbnShahid yes it is.
@@DamnDealDone No it isn’t.
Go to a real 3rd world country and try to live there for week. Bet you'll do anything to come back to Bradford
@@IbnShahid Permanently pregnant morbidly obese Pakistani women in headscarfs that can't speak English wadling about on every single street. African refugees loitering on every single corner. Nothign but takeaways and asian clothes shops. Yep, it's becoming as close to a 3rd world country as it is possible to get in England. Give it another 50 years and it will be one of the worst places to live in the UK thanks to your lot.
Also everyone looked rich like landlord
All these people are dead
I'm not
And in another 115 years Amazon could have buit an overhead pods public transport system with all the money it hoing to keep on making, alng with a few partners kieghley to Bradford in 20 mins Drunks and dadtard free.
Was bradford bombed during the war
Just once, but the bombs didn't land on target, they landed in Heaton Woods.
Not sure but think one hit the rawson Hotel top of town. Heard plane got lost after Bombing sheffield & dropped to lighten load.
A couple landed in the centre of town. Part of the fish market went and a very famous Bradford shop called Lingards was also bombed.
No, it was bombed with immigrants after the war.
A German plane was shot down over Bradford in 1941. It crashed into Idle, there's a gap in the High Street to this day
