@@MattJoyce01 We’ve been making these videos for four and a half years, and we still approach use the same style for each and every one of them. The interest shown in each one by our audience, varies greatly. Recently we has a bad run of about eight videos not performing as well as we thought they should. The response therefore to the Strathfield video is at present very encouraging, both from views and comments. The comment, “Very interesting,” leaves us wondering what was interesting for we admit there’s a lot to be interested in. We can by some comments made identify what their interests are. Be it nostalgia for their past, their parents or grandparents. Newcomers to the area or those thinking of living in the area. Those with a specific topic. The history of industrial Australia watchers can be found viewing suburbs that are now gentrified. Such is the change. Thanks for your comment. Do read our other comments on the comments page.
@@Virginia3443 Interesting you should mention “buildings old and new,” we were hoping the attraction of the Strathfield video would be either the schools or the churches. It has made however a good start, so much so that, we are going to fill in a geographical hole, in on the suggestion from one of our viewers, to do next Homebush. No mention so far of school or church attended on our comments page. Thank you for your comment.
@@AdventureB4-Dementia Knowing that the Creator spends on average a month finding information and illustrations for each video, and then more research into verifying a great number of dates, the last thing I think of is calling this work fantastic. This was particularly true of Strathfield with date verification. However the pleasure is receiving comments like yours. We aren’t chasing the money, simply wanting to provide something that people will get something from. It’s people like you who make our day. I watched a video of early Australian photographs which had been colourised by an American. They were neither, in chronological number, nor in State or area of origin. When I read the comments page , the number of Australians, who liked the photographs but were critical of the streets named were wrong and electric trams were not electric trams, to name but two, were phenomenal. It wasn’t the sort of thing I’d want to reply too. Do please read the other comments we have left on the Strathfield comments page. Thanks for your comment.
@@adrianahalmi3337 It sounds from your comment, “Ohh loved it,” that you have many happy memories of Strathfield. The Creator dug deep in order to verify the dates of houses, schools, churches, entertainments, and shopping areas. The Creator by the way is the female voice on the video. No one as yet has opened up and told us which school, church, street, or workplace they happily remember, but of course it’s early days yet.
I find the shopping area to be smallish with not much of interest, with more eating establishments than actual shopping. Assume most go to Burwood which accommodates shoppers better. I do love the architecture there with all those large houses on large lands, have to be well-off I suppose. Look forward to the Burwood video, just to hear of its history.
@@fookriver I thought I might tell how I purchased a cassette tape of Boris Gardener singing “I want to wake up with you,” from the Strathfield shopping centre, until the Creator pointed out it was Ashfield. Spent Sunday afternoon at Lydham Hall talking with a number of delightful people from Arncliffe. Have I mentioned the diary of Mr. Willington, after whom a street in Arncliffe is name. Coming out from England, which we in its entirety have transposed, that diary records events and views as he travelled third class by steam ship from London passing the Rock of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean through the Suez canal and on to Arncliffe where he lived for the rest of his life. For a brief period of time he was Mayor of Rockdale. He had dealt in silver wear in Sydney having had a silver plating business in Birmingham which at that time, the 1880’s, was the centre of the trade in the U.K.
@@longtallshorty5791 Thanks for your comment. The Creator and I spent sometime yesterday evening evaluating your proposal. Part of Enfield, an industrial area, is on the Strathfield video, in that some historic suburbs have been divided into different municipalities. The good news is we have taken up your suggestion and The Municipality of Burwood will be our next video, which will the include the missing part of Enfield and Croydon. By filling in Burwood we will connect many more suburban borders. This might be thought of as being something encouraging more views across suburban borders, but it is not always the case. We are very pleasantly surprised by not only the number of views Strathfield has but also the number of encouraging comments. May they continue to grow.
@@stpeterscooksriver1873 excellent! I had meant to mention Burwood as well. I had a great book as a child called The History of Burwood, or something close to that. Probably still at my father's house somewhere. A very interesting read.
@@longtallshorty5791 Your mention of a “History of Burwood,” prompt me to tell you that the Creator has found on line an interesting book, titled “Harvest of the Years,” The Story of Burwood 1794-1974 by Eric Dunlop. Published by a school in the area, not the local council or history society. Like many history books its inclined to drift off into areas not particularly pertinent to the subject matter. Once is almost inclined to think that a book is not a book unless it’s so many pages long. However having said that, the Creator is finding it a wonderful basic resource, which she as usual will give credit to the author in our production. I’m also hoping that this is the book you remember! Thanks once again for your comment.
Very interesting. Thank you.

Always enjoy your commentaries on our suburbs. Lovely to know the history behind our buildings, old and new. Thank you for all your work.

Excellent, as always. I hope you get to Enfield and Croydon Park some day :)
