So true. It breaks my heart to see some of the stuff that was destroyed, and not just by the Luftwaffe. The council did their best to finish the job throughout the 60s.
Fascinating film and beautifully cleaned up with AI. Let’s hope that f there is a colour version it get’s the tram colour right (they were deep blue, not red like the ‘cover’ picture! Very well done.
59 years before I was born and I recognise the street scenes. Brilliant video. :) Maybe and likely the Atkinson's store on the left of The Moor, is the predecessor of the modern Atkinson's store in the 1960s?
Seen the original of this film several times. However, this enhanced wersion is stunning. The clarity and detail is amazing. The spur off to the left on the Moor to the old horse tram shed on Hodgeson Street can be seen clearly. Obviously now out of use as the tracks have been covered over as they enter the side street.
Those trams were such cool steampunk-esque contraptions. Can you imagine what a thrill it must have been just to travel into town back then? Nowadays people avoid the town centers because they're dreary & depressing
The way the tram drivers drove standing up at the wheel and without a window to protect them from the cold and the rain to control everything apparently... 😁
@@livinghistoryaienhancedThank you for re-mastering and sharing this important piece of history. It is so fascinating to see how well people dressed up to go into town. Nearly everyone wearing a hat - top hats, bowlers, boaters, flat caps and bonnets! The buildings look a bit drab because back then they were all blackened with smoke from the houses and factories. The people look so dapper and industrious as they go about their daily business. Thanks again for sharing this 🙏 #Sheffield. #Tram. #OldEngland #History
@@Isaveumoneyonmtrates Thanks for taking the time to comment. Great to hear yyou enjoyed it! It truly was a different world. I'll be bringing it closer still as I process more old footage with sophisticated colourisation. :D
I very much appreciate the wonderful work that you are doing with these old films. You asked for suggestions and I do have one. I wonder if you might find any early 1900’s films in America showing everyday life to include on this channel? There seems to be a scarcity of such videos. Thanks again.
Sheffield born and bred ‘ere. Thank you for this. It’s incredible to think that my maternal Great Grandparents and great-great grandparents might be on this video as they both hailed from the bottom end of Ecclesall Road area. Can you imagine what they would have thought if they’d have been told that 122 years later their great grandson / great-great grandson was watching moving pictures of them on his telephone that worked via satellites in space?
Как интересно смотреть на жизнь людей, которые жили сто лет назад!! Все ходили пешком или ехали на трамвае, редко на повозке с лошадью!! Дети идут по улицам одни, женщины красиво одеты, мужчины в костюмах с галстуками!! Сразу видно, что это Западная Европа, а не лапотная Россия, где по улицам городов мужчины ходили в армяках, сапогах, а беднота в лаптях!!😅😅😅
Большинство фильмов Кеньона и Митчелла, в том числе и этот, были созданы для показа тем, кто запечатлен в фильме. За небольшую плату люди могли позже в тот же день посмотреть себя на большом экране. Следовательно, создатели фильма выбрали тему, исходя из потенциальной способности заплатить за просмотр фильма. В некоторых фильмах, особенно тех, что сняты у заводских ворот, можно увидеть, как некоторые люди носят деревянные сабо. В других фильмах, «Боар Лейн Лидс», молодой парень приходит на съемку, и у него ничего нет на ногах. В это время в Великобритании было много трущоб, особенно ужасающей являлась Энджел-Медоу в Манчестере. Есть множество фотографий босоногих детей в этом районе. Россияне явно более изобретательны в изготовлении обуви из коры. И отращивали огромные бороды, чтобы защититься от холода. :) Спасибо за ваш комментарий. :)
Colourisation will come when the AI improves. Current options are dated, weak and hugely time consuming. I'm not seeing anyone working on something new. :\ I hope to see Adobe, Topaz and/or even Nvidia enter that space. Ambient sound, already have plans for that. :)
@@livinghistoryaienhanced Loved the Video, enjoyed it very much ......nothing wrong with the music, please do not ruin it by adding the usual "School Playground" type sound that so many Video Uploaders use, which is totally inappropriate to the Film ......👍
Oh for just half an hour walk round town in 1902
Pre WWII Sheffield was beautiful, we've lost so many excellent buildings.

Excellant. This is what my Great Grand parents and my Grand parents, as children, would have known. A valuable piece of local history.
The way the tram drivers drove standing up at the wheel and without a window to protect them from the cold and the rain to control everything apparently... 😁
Brilliant video, stunning quality.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
Loved this. So many familiar sights!
liked the way people just hopped on the tram as it was moving and lots of jaywalking ! lovely film 🎥
Yeah, none of that "health and safety" BS :) Glad you enjoyed it :)
amazing thank you for sharing I think its lovely in black and white more nostalgic , I suppose a colour version would be interesting too
If the AI colourisation tech. improves enough beyond what we have now, I'll do a colour version. :D

Thank you. :) Yes, films of the States at the turn of the century are strangely almost none existant. I will be expanding to other countries.
Magical images, love it ❤
Did anyone else spot the man not wearing a hat?
That will never catch on!
Lovely video, my early family history show my family living in Nursery Street, front of Azilewoods Flour Mill.
Amazing !! Thank You 🙂
Incredible film. A step back in time. How many of those youngsters would end up in the trenches in 12 years time, I wonder?
Sheffield born and bred ‘ere.

Absolut Fantastisch the good old days very good Qualität 👍 the Women at 0.36 sek Runnning to the Trams is beauty ❤
So good!
Ah! So that's how they changed direction at junctions. A guy with a metal rod moving the points.
What an incredibly dull job that must have been and stood out there in all kinds of weather. I hope that it got automated pretty quick. :)
What AI enhancement is used? It's a remarkable improvement on the original footage.
Thanks :) The original is processed first before any AI is used then I use Topaz Video AI and process the results.
Wonderful
Thank you :)
Maybe upload another version using La femme d'argent by Air
Love Air, All I Need is haunting, but there would be a copyright issue :\
Wonderful!
Thank you :D
Not many men without a hat....

What road are they on at 36secs up to 1m 18secs?
needs colour and sound
