Fascinating footage - like a time capsule! In 1924, my widowed great- grandmother together with her two daughters in their 20s (one being my grandmother) moved to Vancouver from Calgary. After renting for a while, she purchased a newly- built house at 1221 W. 33rd Ave which is still there. This is the city they would have known. Many thanks for giving me a glimpse into this long-vanished world!
My family being life-long residents of Vancouver, British Columbia, I can confirm that the Train Station on Main St. at 1:34 still stands... as do the lovely Shaughnessy neighbourhood homes on 'The Crescent' (homes that encircle the Arboretum at Shaughnessy Park) shown at 1:43 (corner of Osler and The Crescent), 1:52 (two doors down on the corner of Tecumseh and The Crescent) and 3:44 (Hycroft Manor, just down the block from The Crescent on McRae Ave) .... The structure at 2:10 is the Stanley Park Pavilion... From 3:44 to 4:48, we're at the always glorious/beautiful Hycroft Manor, which, for several decades now has been under the stewardship of the UBC Women's Club, where several wonderful events take place every year that the public can attend... On another note - that grove of mature evergreen trees (in Stanley Park) was regarded as 'The Seven Sisters'... unfortunately, none of those trees remain, having been felled or died several decades ago.
yes it is still here today. Matter of fact, I now live right across from the train station and I have taken many pictures of the station in past 10 years.
This is beyond awesome. I used to work for the Vancouver Film School at 198 West Hastings, across from Victory Square Park in downtown Van. Several years walking the city daily in the 2010's. Absolutely spell-binding to see the same streets I walked being walked over a century plus before in such detail. Amazing job NASS!!!
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing. A real treat to see our city and the way it was. Great to see some recognizable landmarks as well. Kudos!!
A wonderful look back, yet the improvements bring those long gone folks to life with an almost contemporary aura. No complaints about the audio or visual quality, but it would add even more satisfaction with a very brief occasional voice over regarding the particular sights and vantage points. Some are very evident such as the renowned Capilano Suspension Bridge, and the bath house and beach at English bay, but other streets and mansions could use some context. The CN train station appears to be quite lonely, but will soon have a massive new hospital as a neighbour to it's immediate north.
Nass, Great channel. Love the scenes here with the streetcars and automobiles of the 1920's. Along with the people of course too! Thanks for bringing the past back to life for us!
I grew up on 29th street North Van (before it was paved), in the late 60's early 70's. The old man across the street, a Mr. Charlesworth, told us the story of how he built his house. He lived and worked in Vancouver, and every day after work he would take the small ferry over to the north shore and buy lumber at the mill in Moodyville. Then he would carry the boards on his shoulders up to 29th street.When he finally finished building the house, he married his fiance and moved in. I just remembered..one time in the late 70's, he walked across the street and invited my mom to come see "an artist at work". 'My wife, she's painting.' My mom expected her to be sitting at an easel in the garden painting on canvas. They walk around the back of the house and there's Mrs. Charlesworth, practically 80 years old, at the top of a ladder painting the eaves of their home! Their house is no longer there. It was at the corner of 29th and St. Marys, backing on Queens Rd.
The footage of the grounds and gardens starting about 3:33 appear to be at Senator McRae's Hycroft Manor in Shaughnessy, now owned by the UBC Women's Club.
Thanks! Vancouver! I have seen this fantastic city in movies,but here we can contemplate how vast and delightful was with those giant trees. Another historical footages 👏🎬

Absolutely Beautiful! But, also sad when you consider what has been allowed to happen to Vancouver. This jewel city of the Pacific Northwest has been overrun with drugs, addicts, crime, homelessness, the majority of whom are not from Vancouver, let alone this province. The people in this video, the pride they had in their city, is non-existent now. Does anyone else see what the people in this video had in common?
@@jeffmorrison5695 You don't need to be there to open your eyes and see a very district difference between then and now. There was homelessness back then sure, but being homeless doesn't mean a person has to be an unproductive degenerate.
Very interesting. Looks like everybody lived in mansions in those days, (hah) maybe except for my grandparents who lived on Royal Oak Ave. in Burnaby. I like seeing the red ensign flag as well. But car horns didn't honk in those days, they ahoogad.
Somebody knows the location of the Bridge at 5:00? I guess that it could be Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge a the same place shown in McGyver´s The Invisible Killer (season 4 episode 15)
I was trying to figure this out as well. They were at English Bay Beach / First Beach in the previous videos, so the view would seem to be over to Kits, but that lack of development doesn't really make sense in this timeline does it?
Something about 2:45 is so weird. The British in that attire on the horses, next to the massive BC tree trunks seems like it’s some alternate reality. Maybe it’s because I’ve LITERALLY only seen people in lululemon attire next to those trees

看到了百年前的人類歷史、那種生活在幸福的、純靜的、而且人們的穿著都很高尚的、太令人羡慕的年代、歐/美洲的文化發展得早、這樣的影片保留了非常完美的、非常嚮往那個年代、人類最幸福的年代、現代、犯罪集團太多了!
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for your work and for sharing. A real treat to see our city and the way it was. Great to see some recognizable landmarks as well. Kudos!!
thank You
thank you for the care in restoring this slice of history…
What an enjoyable visit to the past! A relaxing "vacation" with beautiful scenery and happy locals. Thank you for these restorations.
Meanwhile they were beating and starving indigenous children in residential schools
Danke!
Many thanks for your support
Soooo fantastic to see! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing and stunning. Would love to see more videos on Vancouver along with Victoria and Whistler if you have them.
One more great job, thank you very much! Greetings from Switzerland :)
Thx!!
Beautiful Pictures from the roaring Twenties .. Thank You !
Thank You
Great film! I nostalgic, even thougth I was born in 1947. Shamefull how much we've lost, especially so much of Hycroft Manor.
Yes, Vancouver once was a nice city to live in.
Magnifique.... merci Nass pour ces découvertes du passé sans cesse renouvelées..
Merci à vous
The traffic scenes were shot after 01jan1922 when BC went for driving on the left side to the right side.
Amazing job you did on this video.Thanks.🇨🇦
Thank You
hey nass, late to the show, i never miss a chance to watch a glimpse of our past you have remastered! well done!
Super classic video! Thanks NASS!

Wonderful and sad all at the same time.
Very nice; if you could ad the locations that would be great.
I love your time travel channel Nass.

A reminder of more civilised times
they should have shown residential schools. Such a "civilized" concept.

It wasn't the good old days for everyone.

No homelessness and drugs. Hastings and Gastown looked unrecognizable.
How do you know? Were you there?

A society with a strong moral foundation before it was poisoned by liberals.
Amazing work again! Thank you
What a surreal feeling! It's as if you were there! Or maybe the past exists infinitely becos it is not time that moves but us.
Loved how Vancouver was during the 20s and up to the 70s it was a great place to grow up in
For white people
Thank you for this.
Bravo! Very nice restoration!
Very interesting. Looks like everybody lived in mansions in those days, (hah) maybe except for my grandparents who lived on Royal Oak Ave. in Burnaby. I like seeing the red ensign flag as well. But car horns didn't honk in those days, they ahoogad.
thank You for restoring!
I love these clips of the early days. So tranquil!
The North Shore beyond the bathers looks sparsely settled before the Lions' Gate Bridge was built.
wonderful!!
NASS! , Thanks for posting this video
Thx bro
carpe diem, for everyone in these films is no more
100+ years ago and 100% better than today.
the early vancouverites would be spinning in their graves if they saw hastings street now
So many British flags and red ensigns absolutely everywhere
Capilano Suspension Bridge looks slightly more challenging but still just as bouncy swaying away.
Somebody knows the location of the Bridge at 5:00? I guess that it could be Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge a the same place shown in McGyver´s The Invisible Killer (season 4 episode 15)
Why we need to fight to keep Gastown in downtown Vancouver permanently car-free! This is the way it’s meant to be.
Rip.. im sorry great grandfather , grandfather and dad .❤🍁
These folks would be horrified if you showed them Vancouver in 2024.
My beloved city is going to hell. 😢
100 years from now, we have died like them
And wil have been forgotten like them.
We’re in the end times we don’t have 100 years.
@@CaptainMctavish-y7h no 🧠 comment.
Union Jacks everywhere instead of rainbow flags... let's go back
Yes, back to England please!
When Canada was a member of the British Empire in good stranding!
Yes please do go back - preferably to 1930’s Germany
The 'Who Killed Janet Smith' era in Vancouver. Is it really by my great grand cousin uncle Wong Foon Sing ???
I love streetcars - they are so romantic - I used to go to school by streetcar - Better than a bus IMO
A better Time..imo..
Unless you were indigenous, in which case your children were taken away to cruel schools, and your culture was banned
Can anyone confirm 6:43 is Vancouver? The landscape in the background behind the woman doesn’t look right.
Could it could be one of the gulf island?
I was trying to figure this out as well. They were at English Bay Beach / First Beach in the previous videos, so the view would seem to be over to Kits, but that lack of development doesn't really make sense in this timeline does it?
I’m from Vancouver and getting to see this was amazing 🙌 Anyone happen to know what type of camera would have been used back in those times?
The decade when Janet Smith was murdered in the Shaughnessy neighborhood.
👍❤️

Probably RCMP
👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
I'm happy this has been given away to every other country
I prefer that Vancouver to the real estate porn fest it's become.
Such English influence
neither Chinese nationals nor the Indian nationals. When Canada was Canada
Does it hurt to be a racist? Asking for a friend.
White are also foreigners in Canada
京都の映画村で見た路面電車が走っている、1920年ってこうゆう時代だったんですね、私は1960年生まれです、
Not a single Indian around.
Hard to believe, but it actually smells worse now. 🤣
All of that and the underground stuff built in under 50 years? Mudflood is real.
Buy Property now !!!
