Second in the series.
Musical photo montage, featuring slum scenes in Sheffield between 1890 and the 1950s.
I love it when people talk of 'poverty' today.
They don't know the MEANING of the word.
My only hardship came living my first 2 years of my life on an old army camp.
Yes, I can see the poverty-stricken kids of today, hanging around street corners in their designer clobber, carrying their mp3 players, etc.
Poverty, my arse.
I was born in the late 1930s and Sheffield was just emerging from a depression. Then we had WWII. Living conditions were still not good when I left for OZ with my parents in 1952. Living standards and quality of housing in OZ were far superior, but I have always missed the wonderful people I used to know in Sheffield.
Sorry, what do you mean with OZ ?
love these,, my Grandparents were Sheffield born n bred,, quite sad to see how they had to live compared to what we have now,, bless and god rest their Sheffield souls xx
Still poverty in the eighties I lived in a damp cold flat and often had to sit wrapped in jumpers quilts as couldn't afford to eat and heating
Hearty congratulations to Sheffield Coucil for maintaining the cleanest slums I have ever seen. Where's all the mountains of garbage that are part and parcel of slums worldwide?!?!
I was born in Netherthorpe in 1960, we had poverty but we also had pride. Our front step was donkey stoneď to an inch of its life!!
My God it makes you realise how things are so much better today we know poverty still exists but this film really brings it home how hard times must have been back then, so much for "the good old days".
Excellent film mate and I hope you don't mind but I'm knicking that music to one day use myself on something.
Crying Shame.
I still don’t see a lot of these images as Slums. I see good solid houses, with historical importance and could have easily been improved. Sacrilege that they’ve gone. To be replaced with ? Modern slums. 🤦🏼♂️
The houses at 3.38/40 and some other 3-storey ones. My mother spent her early childhood in one similar and remembers it well.
Hollis croft and solly st, my great great grandparents lived there
The full meaning of being Skint !
At the time theses photo,s were taken early 1900,s or even earlier , the uk were a major economical power base , 3, 5ths of the world map was in pink , but those at the bottom of the pile never saw or even got the benefits.
It should make people realise just how LUCKY they are now compared to folk back then.
WOW...I SEE PITSMOOR HASN'T CHANGED ONE BIT 🤔🤭🤫
Nice pick; 'Music for Airports' by Brian Eno.
Englands 'green and pleasant land' YUK?,try telling that to these poor souls at the time.
I was brought up Brightmore Street do any of the photos relate to that area , we lived at 5 court 4. I would love to hear any information you have.
I live in 190 Oxford street
@@triplesglow thats all offices and student accommodation now
May be they were ready for demolition. And folks had moved on to better lives.

Photo that appears at 2.30 with the boy on the left hand side in the courtyard
could anyone please tell what street this was taken in .
As I have reason to believe it could have been Cavendish St in the 1950s.
Not much has improved from what i can see its still a slum... thats why i moved out
Is this the "white privilege" I keep hearing about?
