I (Australian) walked into an 18th century pub in Chester one November and there was a chap sitting in a winged-back chair by an open fire, reading a newspaper, with a pint glass next to him and I thought "now, this is England!"
It used to be
Glad you experienced a real pub, all the best from the U.K.
Interesting Alan.Which pub was that? I'm from Chester so I'm sure to have been in it😄
@@paulmclaughlin395 I think it was called the Kings Head. It's supposed to be haunted, but I think that is probably guff for the tourists
I can confirm Chester is massively haunted
That charming land that once was, that beloved England !

"When Britain was Britain"? What does that mean?@@Sambo77261
I am just about old enough to remember when the local pub was like this.
Me too. I can actually remember the outrage when a pint went up to...50p.
My first pint of Bitter cost me 2/7d (13p)
My 1st pint was from a home brewing kit in 1973 and we had to strain it through an old sock
@@tubecated_development Sounds delicious...

As an Irish man I enjoyed the charming old English pubs and they enjoyed us sad gone for ever.
Love watching old videos like this ,the narrators voice so polite and well spoken, he sounds like he's reading poetry. Hard to find decent pubs now without all the noise, tvs, shouting etc .
Oh yes, I hate the pubs that show sports on a huge TV
Or apostrophes?
'Pubs' gave way to 'Zoos' . .. .
A way of life that’s gone for ever. No wonder I long for a time machine so I can revisit the past.

Thanks for that. Was wondering where they all were. I presume they are still with us?
The Muslim arms in London.
what about 5:41? :)
I'd happily have a jar in each of those. I've been to a number of the pubs in St Albans in the late 80s and early 90s so I hope it included Ye Olde Fighting Cocks. I have paid a number of visits in fairly equal amounts to the Cock and the Bull,the two former coaching inns nearly next to each other on one side of the main drag in Stony Stratford frequented by travellers of centuries past that led to the famous expression.
In the U.S. kids are not allowed in until they are 21 years old. This is one of the best things I’ve seen today!
Cheers From California 😎
Here in Western Australia, we have a typical concrete building with a fake front on it to look like a pub.
Guess it's to keep the poms / limey happy
Your mistaken. Its a plastic pub to keep you Aussies happy😅 My local is just great, full of locals of all ages, its an old boozer with great views over the North Pennines and Cumbrian mountains. And best of all great ale.
In England they have have 3 kids with 5 different colours by the time they are 18. Americans are over-cossetted..
I live in Penshurst England and recognise many of these pubs as local to me. I saw the Chequers in Tonbridge High Street , The Rose & Crown Tonbridge and the Castle at Chiddenstone. I bet the producer was local to Tunbridge Wells area….Nic
But they're expected to die for the politicians at the age of18/19
They have taxed all the pubs to the point of closing
And smoking ban didn't help either.

Men only bars. Those were the days!

The aroma from those old pubs was something you don't read much about. The hoppy ales, the jet black stouts, nut brown ales, light ales, milds, and for the ladies Babycham, cherry brandy and apricot wine, or for my mum a Mackeson, sometimes half and half with milk.
Those lovely beverages produced a sweet smell that told travellers from a way down the lane that a pub was nearly at hand. The aroma of beer and spirits would be mixed with delicious blends of Virginia leaves, carefully mixed tobaccos with spices and a bit of rum or whisky to create things like Condor and St Bruno. The relaxing feeling at the end of a day's labour was glorious. You don't get that sense of well-being any more, without it being tinged with irritation or frustration.
You'd sit down with your first delicious pint and sup half in no time, then light up your pipe and puff away, the blissful sense of well-being pervading every part of you. Nobody can know the sensation of that pipe tobacco relaxing your whole body unless you've tried it.
Summers were best, sat outside the front watching the world go by, not troubled by urgencies like getting home for a life-changing reality telly programme or to shop online for things from China that you don't need.
Nobody had a new kitchen fitted, let alone simply because the old one was out of fashion. We didn't bother about things that weren't necessary.
Anyway, a few nice pints later you would clamber on your bike and cycle home, full of good humour and chuckling at the silly chats you'd just enjoyed with other locals or a traveller.
We didn't know how rich we were. We wouldn't have believed anyone telling us how brutally it all would change, that the fields we surveyed would all be vile housing estates for an infinite supply of overweight people, the sound of motorways roaring 24 hours a day, the urgency and demand of everything sapping our souls. I don't want 10,000 channels of American chewing gum television and 'movies' (ie films) or infinite information on hand that will make me not one jot happier. I don't want people disturbing me on a gadget at any time of the day or night. I just want to relax and take my time over a nice pint, listening to the blackbirds and the sparrows. I want to get home and hear the foxes in the spinney, or the squirrels squawking and shouting, or the owls hooting. This modern world has very little to compensate those who just want to be back in easier times, when money wasn't your god and rushing was an alien concept. Modern life is a plastic throwaway replacement for solid oak, and life will never be as lovely as it was back then.
I live in urban South London...I can hear blackbirds and sparrows in my garden...As for squirrels and foxes, we have an overabundance of those..My neighbourhood is surrounded by three parks two of which are nature reserves full of migrating birds and water fowl...
That nice Mr Kahn has made my street, previously a rat run into a low traffic neighbourhood. Many more people walking and cycling, hopefully helping to deal with "overweight people" without berating them. ...
@@zivkovicable Hopefully the council has also found a way to encourage local street corner pubs to stay in business or even open up, given that they are a wonderful British social hub. Tax breaks and all-day opening would be so helpful.
Lovely local beers and tasty international grub to suit all ethnicities and tastes. I'm really glad to hear that you are able to enjoy thriving inner city nature and a peaceful countryside environment. The blackbirds this time of year are, to me, the most beautiful sound in the world.
Nostalgia ruins your common sense. This is exactly the kind of sentimental tosh that induced Brexit. You need to come to terms with a simple, and obvious, fact: things change; they always have and always will. You should try and get to grips that and live in the present. I find your condescending remark about overweight people offensive. I could try one about the stench of pipe smoke in shared spaces. (Your chances of surviving lung cancer are significantly greater now than they would have been in the 1949s: but I suspect you are nevertheless nostalgic for the good old days before the NHS?).
The smell of pledge from the cleaner just as you arrive combining with a lingering smell of last nights beer and cigarettes- favourite smell in the world.
I’m 21 and this was a good read, makes you think what I’ve missed out on
Charming - just charming!
So lucky to have The Blue Anchor in Helston Cornwall as my local, one of the last original home brew pubs left. No fruit machines, muzak, a bastion against modernity and long may it be so. The beer, Spingo, is just superb if a little wobbly!
What's a fruit machine?
Walked into Helston from Porthleven last year , had a couple of Spingos in the back yard be popping in May bank Holiday hopefully 🍻👍
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn where you put coins in and gamble
Fruit machines (the old ones) are part of the history of pubs.
My mate had several pints of spingo. The police pulled him out of the water that runs past the pub, apparently he was swimming home.
Great Britain at its best now sadly long gone 😢
Yeah when people still had food rationing for 11 years after the war, couldn't access healthcare until 1948, died of smallpox and polio and lived in poverty with terrible education. Great Britain!!!
@@dreamcrusher112 There is far more to life than the material things, you would do well to learn that.
@@dreamcrusher112 From the look of people, we could use some food rationing today.
We have lost so much.... when Britain was once the greatest country on Earth.

Oh happy days, many years ago I restored a floor in the house next door to the London Apprentice, there was a Picasso on the wall! My mothers family owned the Black Horse pub in Richmond, a wonderful, very big pub, where I had my first Saturday job buttering bread! Cheers everyone
I went out to pubs in Richmond,including one by the Thames,with my best friend from school and his Dad one weekend around our 18th birthdays (he's 3 days younger than me),while on one of my sleepovers at his house,so I may have paid that pub a visit though it's long ago now.

The best thing about coming to England was always visiting the pubs. Meeting the locals, Sunday roast, and of course a pint of Stella served by a gentleman behind the bar. Always fun and a sense of feeling welcomed all over England.

Where I live most good pubs are surviving and many are doing well. These are the ones which provide a good atmosphere to escape to plus good quality beer.
Which area is that?
Unfortunately I live in Germany. Uncomfortable "pubs", and horrible beer. A really sad place.
Whenever I return, I try and get to a decent pub and get a few ales down my neck. You can't beat it.

Yeah, Germany might do beer gardens well, especially in Bavaria but generally their 'pubs' are mediocre.

@@Connor-kc2ns it was never an idiilic country white people want to believe it was, people were impoverished, died young, children worked in factories, disease was rife, you didn’t own property, people were deported for stealing a loaf of bread, there was no welfare state and the poor were sent to fight the elites wars over menial squabbles in far off lands. The whole notion is utter utter bollocks, just read Victorian accounts of living in London, life was extremely hard and thankless for the majority of people.
Born a Brit I moved to Spain a decade ago. Life is still lived like this film here on the continent. Not the same culture, but the same spirit. How the Uk has fallen.
Are you comparing like with like? Lots of ex pats move from English cities to the European countryside and wonder at the difference in culture and pace of life…
The old english houses and their decorations looking very similar for me to midival towns in Germany.
It would be interesting to compare wages and the cost of a pint then, to now.
I rarely go to the pub now because it's so expensive.
Average weekly industrial wage in 1940 was around £4 15s
Average cost of a Pint of ale was 5d, and of a Pint of milk, 3d - while that of a loaf was around 4½d.
So, in 1940, and assuming a 40 hour working week, you could (very roughly) get 5 or 6 pints of beer for an hour's work. Sadly, pub Beer - like Fish and Chips - is nowadays out of reach of the kind of people who at least could once afford it, if not anything more luxurious!
Just think: back in 1960, you could get a piece of cod and eightpenno'rth of chips for 1/6d (8p in today's Mickey Mouse currency). Now look at it: such is the 'cost' of Inflation!
@@marvinc9994 You mean 18p. A shilling was 12p (i.e. 2 x 6d).
It's deliberate they don't want people socialising and realising others are just a sick of how we are being treated. In less than 20 years there will be very few pubs and clubs left. 🇬🇧

The London Apprentice brought back memories. My first wife shared a house a few doors up the road. Before the Thames Barrier they were flooded out, badly, Fem ‘76 or ‘77. We’d sit by the slipway watching the planes descending to Heathrow. My guess is they view 4:44 on the film) is unchanged.

There are still some places that look as idyllic as this, but they are rare. We've just moved to Dorset, there a few of these dotted about. Any pubs in and around London , are gone, if they are open at all.
Its' still like this around these parts (nw Hants).
I live just 15 miles south of Central London. The 400 year old Well House Inn not far from me is like this, and still going. Plenty of old pubs around London still. Even in the middle of London.
It's a piece of history for our children,grandchildren,and great grandchildren of future generations, to see what this great country once was....❤
Our traditional beer culture is now being destroyed by Foster's ( brewed in UK) and Moretti drinkers with their brains in their stomachs. I love a pint of mild when I can get it.
A pint of mild now there's a blast from the past last one I had was from Oldham breweries long gone now.
Dont forget that the government itself has been forcing the closure of thousands of pubs over the last couple of decades.
@@lablackzed Had a very decent mild when I visited a cousin of mine in St Albans last year.
Our beer culture is all American IPA in cans from the supermarkets. Internet and consumerism took the customers…

Can we go back to then please
Oh the days of my childhood when we were left outside the pub in the car with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps

Can you name a pub that's now a mosque? Jokes are only funny if there an element of truth.
Funny - people in the comments saying how wonderful pubs were, why did you stop going to the pub then? I did a stint as a pub landlord in the 90s and saw the decline first hand. Lots of pubs have closed recently but this is not a new trend - it started in the 90s and hasn't stopped since. Unless you can count yourself as a regular, ie you went to your pub most days of the week - you are the reason pubs have gone. Don't pretend its only recently you stopped drinking in the pub, bet most people can't remember the last time they popped out for a swift half - bet it was circa 1982. Our local, the last one in our village closed last year - everyone says what a shame, yet we would sit in it of an evening and would be lucky if more than 4 people came in, if that. We ran a number of campaigns to encourage people to come down - nothing. People here saying I miss the old days, are happy to sit at home watching Sky and Netflix, shop at the out of town supermarket, drive instead of walk - the problem is nobody thinks they are the problem. You sat back and let it happen and then moan about it when its gone -
🤫🤐shhhh. Don’t tell truths.
Probably because the government banned smoking and slowly added tax upon tax until we are where we are now at £6 - £7 per pint 🍺 ( in the provincial south for sure)
@@NigelHyphenJones Do you also have any idea much more it costs to make beer now that rent, energy and ingredients are so costly?
In 1984 a pint of beer around my way was around 72p
In 2024 a pint of beer around my way is around £4
Exactly in line with the inflation calculator.
£2.40 a pint of bitter in Liverpool and unlike the South people will give you the steam of their piss 😂
quite right. the complaints about our country being flooded with foreigners who hate us are valid, but the biggest problem is the degeneration of the english people ourselves. we ourselves have no regard for what we've lost, so why would any foreigner care to "assimilate" into our mess?
The main character in George Orwell's Coming Up for Air which was written in 1938 sees England as a nightmare of change and modernity. He realises that the "good old days" of his youth are long gone.

Beautiful British culture. Long gone x
In Spain the bars and licensed cafes are frequented by families , kids very welcome , lovely atmosphere and well behaved. In restaurants kids eat the same as the adults but smaller portions, in school the teachers sit at the same tables as the kids. The family is important, at least this is what it was like when I lived there 20 years ago. Now , I don,t know.
It hasn't changed. I live in Valencia now and it is just the same. And a glass of wine is a Pound (equivalent).
Bring back Youngers Tartan Special and Whitbread Pale Ale (in screw top bottles)
Yes! Whitbread pale ale in screw top brown bottles. I 'd tie 2 to my canoe and paddle over to the island in the Thames at Cookham and tie up and drink them in the summer of '76 in the famous Drought. Floating along in the river kept them cool.
Thank you for sharing
If pubs were like they used to be I’d probably be at one tonight.
How England and the UK once were, jesus! Even up to the mid 90s it was still the England we knew. Gone forever now and will get worse.
Don’t you miss them when you are miles away I certainly do

It is a great shame that so many pubs are closing. But, looking on the bright side, there are more and more community pubs opening and they tend to be very good. They are treasured by locals. I have had the best quality beer in community pubs in Suffolk. Also, generally, the quality and variety of beer is far better than it was in 1980 when I started visiting pubs (50 pence a pint!).

Everyone online all of the time on about 10 different entertainment subscription payment plans.

It’s just beak nowadays, innit
Paid £6.90 for a pint last week in a decent town pub. At that price, I can't see pub culture lasting long. Something to also I have seen is that there are not as many young people drinking these days and the pubs are empty in comparison to 15 years ago. Tastes change I guess
So many pubs are now Tescos or Co-op mini-markets. So many more have just been demolished.
However, the Dronfield Arms in Dronfield, Derbyshire bucks the trend and even has its own brewery!
Let's keep this original social network going. Use it or lose it.
Anyway, nearly time for a pint. Love and peace.
That’s the only pub I’ve seen in years
Where nobody come out the toilet
Without any columbian under their nose
yes we certainly have progressed with the marching powder
Back then, one could set foot inside a pub without the constant fear of misgendering someone.
Fear of misgendering??? Weird fear to be fair. Nothing to be afraid of, really. It's just people, right?
And the only food you could purchase, was a dodgy pie from a warming cabinet on the bar. Oh and not forgetting the jar of pickled eggs 😅
0:51 Very well trained horse: knows where it's taking the cart all by itself.
Cheap supermarket beer and a shift to staying in for tv, films, social media and takeaways are destroying pubs. Real social interaction (rather than virtual) is being lost.
We’ll be very sorry when we’ve lost them. Still, at least someone in the City of London or Silicon Valley will have got rich so that’s ok 🤔
Eeeh i remember when i wer tuppence a gallon and free use oft barn to sleep it off.........
Haha
You must even even older than me!
Just for a moment i was back where i used to live, down my old local, the White Hart in Frimley, asking for a pint of Watneys Special (in a straight glass)
Can't believe how bad pubs are now, with their watered down beer, and crap food, and even crappier atmosphere, compered to just 30-40 years ago
Iam sitting watching this off the beer for 10 days now, and ready to crack.
how did they get film of the middle ages ? amazing
They went to any of th islamist areas that really are the dark ages and speeded the film up a bit
It's a reenactment 😂😂😂😂
After watching this film, can someone please explain to me why these days we are stronger through our diversity.
The film romanticises a grim period of British life. Poverty, ill health, rotting teeth, the weekly bath, a rigid class structure, general ignorance, a school-leaving age of 14, poor food, and so on. If you’re nostalgic for the 1940s because all you saw was other white people, good luck to you mate. You’re clearly a racist - you would be at home in 1940.
We're not
Cracking little film. Oh how things seem much simpler then, compared to the clown planet we now have to endure. This was a brilliant 7 minutes of eacapism.
When we had community
Now we have ??????
I’ll get banned again
If I tell the truth. AGAIN 😂
🤡 It’s just capitalism/consumerism doing its thing. Make it easy and addictive for people and they will go there. Internet, car, supermarket, fast food. Done. This is life forever now. Enjoy your 51st State cardboard suburban retail park -life- existence where you drive everywhere and order cheap crap from t’Internet while moaning about in antisocial media using the device permanently glued to your eyes.
🏴💸
@@Powerneck enjoy your retail park experience. Enjoy consumerism. Enjoy your streaming content, enjoy your moaning on antisocial media. To make you feel better about it, simply use antisocial media to complain far and wide about people who do other things such as cyclists and walkers and bird watchers and religious people.
But most of all, enjoy your retail experience.
You have...chickens coming home to roost. Just saying...
