It's freaky isn't it.
At 5:21 I was focused on that smoke in the far distance. Maybe a factory? And then I imagined my self transported there and I had to walk to that factory. It's very far.
But not so much in kilometers but years, I'm thinking how very far from home I suddenly am if I just popped in like that.
Where would I even sleep? What skills would I need to get a job? Where do I even start? But these people simply lived there like it was nothing. So weird.
What really strikes me is how everyone is walking around with their heads upright, observing their surroundings, taking in the sights and enjoying the present. Children were in groups of friends but roaming freely, feeling safe. I observe no stress, no aggression, no violence but politeness, respectfulness, dignity. I love it! Such a different and beautiful scene
Hard to believe but let’s not forget LGBTQI+ communities were in the closet at best, hunted down at worst. It was an atrocious times for much of the population.

How well behaved that generation was, the effort put into the filming of the time is marvelous. Many thanks.

@@yvonneplant9434 Enjoy your day, yvonneplant9434.
Humans werent much different back then. Of course everyone will act normal in public.
Little did ANY of these people know that we would be watching them enjoy life over 120 years later. So fascinating. I wonder sometimes what happened to the children and what they grew up to be. Their grandchildren and who they are. It's so wonderful to see this. Thank you so much.
I think the adults knew that these films were being recorded for posterity. Certainly, they could not have known the course of the advance of technology for the next 120 years, but by 1901 science fiction was already a popular medium and in those days, people were a lot more optimistic about the future than we are today. Not only were they optimistic, but all but the clinically insane among them knew what sex they were and dressed and acted appropriately. In just four years, Albert Einstein would publish his special theory of relativity. Those were not unsophisticated people for the most part.
Reminds me of a Smiths song", so we go inside and we gravely read stones ,
all those people, all those lives where are they now, with a love and hate and passions just like mine, they were born and then they lived and then they died, seems so unfair ... 🎶"
Given that the 1st World War would start some 13 years after this I imagine that many of those children would go on to be killed over the course of that war.
I was thinking the same thing. A think it is fascinating these people lived when there were real cowboys an indians roaming the plains like in westerns !!
Watching them in 4k on a device that fits in our pockets none the less. I think the boys running and waving had some inkling.
I always look at those people, who are all dead now. And wish that every single of of them had the best, longest and luckiest life possible.
I do the same but in lieu of people, I look at animals at the time
@@carlosdicie7430 Yeah, same goes for animals.
What a kind person you are.
@@UTubeSL I thought the same..that they're a very kind person.

@@Shadi2 that would be so neat. I wish we'd be alive to see it.

Colourized? So where are the people of colour?
@@rafchurchlawford4469 Mostly - depending a bit what your rather dated expression (made for witty effect?) covers - still in Africa; it has been estimated that even in London at this date (population ca. 5,000,000) there may have been fewer than one hundred, most inhabitants of Britain will never have seen a black person in their entire life - contrast the USA, which by 1900 had about 9,000,000.
It's quite melancholy really. These people walking different directions. Where were they going? What were their conversations? Children running and enjoying themselves. Families enjoying an outing. Really shows that we're all just a part of time itself. Great video.
Conversation. Bought a new horse, but cart was expensive. I can ride horseback.
Oh, you could buy a bicycle in a fraction of this price.
Well, check Sunday newspaper for bargain prices.
How much is this scarf. Quarter pence. I have hand knitted mine.
Would you come with me to Shakespeare play in theatre. No, I'm sorry. I will go to the puppet show with children. Ah, OK.
Probably would be a little similar to what we talk about today the weather that day or the news except theirs would be from the newspaper their job most likely at the factory and gossip about a coworker or also gossip about a neighbor. The economy or even about the new technology that is coming out like the camera that in front of them. I don’t think much has changed in the way we have conversations excepts the obvious differences between early 1900 and today.
The only thing melancholy about this video is the music. I love Elgar's music, but a better choice of music would have been one the of Pomp and Circumstance marches - maybe #4.
Passengers on the wheel of time
Superb just so sad that many of these young boys will perish in the Great War just 13 years later
Morecambe is my hometown. It's so surreal seeing these parts of town that are at once so familiar yet also so alien. It really evokes strong emotion, seeing these people who lived and died in the same place as me, separated only by time.
You mate might be looking at multiple ancestors!!!!
"seeing these people who lived and died in the same place as me" . ...Vampire?

@@mistyrose3042 - True. I don't know about your conclusion, but there surely must be some long-term effect of people disengaging from everyday life in such numbers.

As a Theatrical Costumer it's so incredible to see how people moved in these clothes, how high the hems really were, how hats were worn, etc. What a valuable resource!
Mitchell and Kenyon were the film makers,there’s quite a few of their films on RUclips.
It’s lovely to see how the clothes moved.
@@manchestertart5614 For me, that breif period in time, known as the Edwardian era, is so distinctive and easy to recognise, through their fashions, and I love it, esspecially the young ladies in their Boater hats, and the school boys in their close fit mid length pants, and even young gents wearing what looks like school caps.
Back then, ladies looked adorable.❤
@@Jones607Back then, ladies existed. The women of today do not qualify for that title.
@@FEiSTYFEVER
I’m not comfortable with “blanket-statements.” Todays women are a products of nurture👎🏻, not nature👍🏻.
It’s wonderful to see so many men either carrying or holding hands with their children, and even a family of men and boys pushing a pram. It’s easy to assume that men of that generation were distant and unaffectionate with their family, but we can see here, across a variety of life and classes, that this wasn’t the case.
I noticed the same thing and it made me sad. My dad was raised so brutally by his, and me by mine in turn. I wonder how much the world wars had to do with it.
I thought the same. I didn't think men would carry their babies in public. You learn something new every day.
Yes, I was told by my mum that men pushing prams was a modern phenomenon 🙄
Then the politicians war came and destroyed EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE! nothing changes.
I hate to say this, but I got the impression that they did it to get noticed by the camera. I saw a few of them walk towards the camera out of frame, then walk the other way back into frame, walk to a distance and then turn around to look directly at the camera. Holding a baby or pushing a pram would definitely make you stand out. Not saying that every man was doing that just for the camera, but certainly a couple of them did. The boy pushing the pram was one of them.
What an outstanding job you have done in bringing to life scenes from 120 years ago. The people were so elegant though most were workers, but they had their clothes for Sundays, and despite it still being the mourning time for Queen Victoria and wore predominantly dark clothes, they still showed their elegance and liveliness.
Contrast it with today's clothes and the size of the average modern person!
No ass hanging out of pants that time.
Wszyscy ci ludzie nie żyją, każdy miał swoją drogą, historię życia. Ilu chłopców cieszących się dzieciństwem zginęło później na frontach wojen. Jak pomyślę że w tym 1901 roku moja prababcia miała 10 lat. Ja słyszałam jej opowieści o tamtych czasach czasach rozwoju mojego miasta Łodzi w Polsce i jak oglądam film wydaje mi się że odbyłam podróż w czasie. Bardzo dziękuję i pozdrawiam.
I love watching these types of films. Makes me want to go back in their time. Notice how everyone is dressed nicely.
Yeah ...is that right.? Do you you think it might be different else where. What are the limitations of this footage. Did your history teacher talk about limitations of sources.
@@multipipi1234 Huh?
I'm always reminded by these videos to enjoy those things in life that are good. Life is fleeting and most of us will be forgotten about rather quickly. For six minutes and fifty-two seconds, we got to see these people and acknowledge that they were in fact here.
Jesus will never forget about me. I look forward to seeing and talking to some of these people someday in heaven.
Yes. I wonder if the people in the film - like most of us - got caught up in the day to day of life?
@@phillipecook3227 Yeah, they must have. Every time someone walks out of the picture I wonder where they went, what they did.
It is bittersweet , alas
@@janettemasiello5560😊❤
The two little boys who couldn't get enough of the camera bring me joy over 100 years later. ❤
Thank you so much for this marvellous restored film with gorgeous touches of colour. How elegant they all were; the ladies with tiny waists and beautiful dresses and hats; the gentlemen suave in tailored suits and hats to denote class as was structured in past years. Really it's incredible that the poorer boys with flat caps were also beautifully turned out despite their parents probably being on a limited budget. Being respectful and well-dressed was so natural then for everyone no matter what background and all so fit and slim. My gosh it was lovely to see all the boys smiling raising their caps and hats to the film maker; such charming manners. Ah well, nothing stands still but when I see historical films like this I do think we have lost the charm of the past. Fabulous thank you all who made this film possible. Xxxx ❤c
All of people in this film are gone a long time ago, but this colored video makes me feel as if I were one of them in 1901. This footage trancends time.
My father was born in 1921. He told me how families were so much closer then. They could depend on each other to be there. He fought throughout WWII. Life was different then and when you think about it, that was not too long ago.
So wonderful to watch these beautiful people all these years later and to wonder what became of some of them. I found myself with a feeling of sadness as much as anything. Very poignant.

Mesmerising. 120 years ago. I've commented before that slowing these very old films to normal speed (:as opposed to the " Keystone Cop" speed most were familiar with until recently) gives them a stunningly realistic quality as if we were looking through the window of a time machine. Colouring is the icing on the cake. Watching this makes me understand something: people in the past were just like us.
Just like us? Yes, Europeans. But we are being replaced.
Of course they were just like us, and soon we will be just like them ...dead
Forgive my ignorance but what is keystone cop please?
Genuine question
Ps these footages are beyond words....in a good way xx
The Keystone Cops was a series of comedy films about an incompetent police force in America. The pace was frantic and included a lot of silly chase scenes. Here is a compilation of clips to give you an idea of what the comment is referring to... ruclips.net/video/GwUUUqgfu-E/видео.html&ab_channel=DaveGlass@@philbrodie-ed7pr
I’m 74 and I grew up in LA knowing a lot of actors. I got the impression that every old actor, at that time, used to be a Keystone cop. An easy job to get back then. I knew six of them. I was also Buster Keatons paperboy.
God bless the people who sought to film this back in their time. It was expensive work. And bless the creator of this channel for sharing it with us. Thank you 🙂
Filmed by Mitchell and Kenyon,worth a Google and plenty more of their films on RUclips
It’s hard to believe that every kid in this video is older than my grandparents. In, fact my grandparents weren’t even born yet. For someone to be able to capture these simple moments of these people’s lives is amazing.
Impressed how nice everyone dresses. Plus, everyone appears to be happy and loving.
unbelievable stuff. just think the older people here in their youth (1850s) would have met people who had been born in the 1700s!
This idea always fascinates me. My grandmother, to whom I was very close, was born in 1897 and died in 1993. I was born in 1957. My daughter was born in 1986 and has photos of herself with my grandmother. My grandchildren were born in 2017 and 2020. So myself and my daughter act as a living memory bridge between my grandchildren born in the 21st century and my grandmother born in the 19th century.
Yes. Extraordinary. My maternal grandfather was born in 1864.
Just think...if your ancestors ( fathers) all had children later in life...your great great grandfather could well have been born in the late1700's.
@@spanishpeaches2930 My Maternal grandfather was born in 1900, when his father was in his 60's and his father in turn was born in 1770' . 😁😁

Many thanks to the author of this film, he returned us to that era of time .. and felt their spirit, hopes and dreams.
Totally fascinating. In this context you can see the appeal of seaside towns at the time. In an era where so many people worked in dark, crowded cities, full of factories, being able to travel to the coast and escape it all would've been a huge luxury
Railways made it affordable/convenient/fast for the common people to travel to these places for the first time as well for a weekend getaway. No longer was it just the preserve of the wealthy. The beginnings of mass tourism right there.
Wow. It's like you're there. Like you walked into an old oil painting. Cezanne, Degas, Monet. This was the world at the turn of the century. The innocence and lightheartedness of the world before WW1. Awesome restoration, computer enhancement and colouring. Thank you for this trip in your time machine.

And they were thinking, as we think, that their next task or activity is so important, where they are going to and what they will do there. Thinking, as we think, that their lives will go on forever...
И они думали, как и мы, что их следующая задача или деятельность настолько важна, куда они идут и что они там будут делать. Думая, как и мы, что их жизнь будет продолжаться вечно...
They way they dressed back then. So insanely elegant.
Belle epoque.
Quite something to watch, while dwelling upon what was a mere passing moment for all of those walking along the promenade and enjoying the day's weather. They stare up at the camera, some waving and smiling, others simply curious, and the moment quickly passes as they move out of camera range and their attention returns to their stroll. A throwaway moment over 120 years old, forever preserved, while those who lived it, long gone.
And the good news as our holy Judeo Christian bible if one understand how to identify the revealed understanding is that they continue to live in us who are their decendants if they died in God in Christ and those who are in the flesh during our lifetime have continued in their labours when our ancestors were in the flesh.

It was all overwhelmingly delightfully eerie to go back in time. - Sonoma, CA
Greetings from Morecambe - the town is still going strong, although not as well to do anymore since people started going abroad for holidays, and the sea front scene is still recognisable, although the piers have now gone.
It's amazing to see film footage like this. 👍
I'm 66 years old and was born in 1966 , many of the babies / toddlers in this video would have still been alive well into my childhood years and I may have known some of them .

When I see this, it sends chills up my spine because my parents were old enough to be my grandparents, and my grandpa on my father's side was 16 years older than my grandma, so he was old enough to be my dad's grandpa. He was born in 1890 and I actually met him before he died when I was just a kid. It's a strange feeling to know that he was about the same age I was, when he died, when this film was shot. He passed away at the age of 86 so he's long gone. I met my Great Aunt, his little sister, when she was 102 many many years later. She wouldn't have been born yet for another 5 years after this film was shot. She was born the same year as the film star Louise Brooks, whom I used to impersonate and who favored my other great Aunt, her little sister. The quality of this film is miraculous and the colorization only adds to the feeling of being transported to such an elegant and simple time. Watching this, I still can't believe that my grandpa would have been 11 when this film was shot. It's as if I met a historical figure back when I was a child. In a way, I did.
It is fascinating to watch how people lived over a century ago. This was filmed a year before my grandfather was born. The first thing that stands out is how well everyone dresses, men and women, adults and children. Much different from today.
Incredible to watch these time pockets of a different time and era! The well-dressed people taking in the surroundings, looking dapper and glad, strolling around, the horse and buggies, the buildings.
Of course there was lots going on elsewhere and also people living in poverty, but absolutely fantastic to see these old clips from a long time ago, with these proud, dignified people 😊
1901 !! They were transitioning from Victorians to Edwardians.
The Edwardian era always carries that dreamy, romantic feel to it....The final Summer before the long dark Autumn and winter of WW1 and everything that came afterwards.
Of course, we know life was tough for many during this era but it never loses that ability to make us yearn to travel through time and walk those streets and meet these people....our ancestors.
When I saw the younger children in about the last third of the film, I realised that they were only a few years older than my grandparents (who were born in 1900 and 1901).
Film is the first time machine..we can travel to the past ...marvellous ..I am 65 now ..when this was filmed my grandparents were not yet born...amazing .
Those landeaus were stilll common in the 60s when I lived near Happy Mount Park. My dad used to send us after them with a bucket and sped to collect manure!
Впереди у всех этих людей были две мировые войны... Видео завораживает. Спасибо авторам, который снял и который выложил в Ютуб.

I would love to chat with them live. I would let them know in the future.
This was likely filmed during the summer of 1901 which would explain why so many people were wearing dark clothes in the middle of warm weather. Queen Victoria had died the pervious January and the tradition of one year of deep mourning was still very much being observed. Beyond that, it is remarkable to see these Victorian/Edwardians in such casual scenes. We tend to think of people from this era as very prim and proper, with little public touching and stern expressions. Here we see them, especially the children being almost playful. Men walking arm in arm with their wives and parents with their children. Moving pictures were like science fiction back then, which is why you see so many people mugging for the camera. One wonders what these people would think if they knew that we would be watching them 120+ years in the future.

Yes, the public display of affection was what struck me too. Men with children as well.
That’s a wonderful bit of film history. So clever the colourisation and restoration using modern day tech. The basic architecture of Morecambe promenade really hasn’t changed very much!
Wonderful to see everyone acting with dignity, enjoying the moment, and engaging with the world around them. Sad to know that so many of these bright and happy young boys and men would be cruelly robbed of life or limb during WW1. Fantastic video. Such precious footage of a world lost in time....

Little girl fashion was definitely where all the designers of the day were focusing. Those darling hats!
I love watching old films. Seeing them looking at the camera waving almost makes me feel like a time traveler getting to take a peek at another time and they know I can see them but they don't know what time I'm from. I know it sounds silly but I sometimes think like that or to think that everyone in the film is gone now but I bet how much their family today would love to see a film with them in it.
I don't think it sounds silly. I feel the same.
@@janmargaret7972 I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks at it that way. I tend to look at things differently than most. I always kinda been mocked for it. Like for example: Sometimes when I walk outside I was just stop and look at the beauty I see in everyday things like how the leaves look as they are blowing off the trees or how first frost on the grass looks as the sun is coming up. Its not just things I look at but smells as well like the smell of the flowers in spring or leaves in the fall. I also stop to take in sounds like this morning hearing the crunch on walking on the first snowfall of the season while looking at how the snow looks sparkling like diamonds when the light hits it.
It's just kinda my way about taking in the world that other see but are so use to it they don't really take it in. I see myself doing that with everything. I love history and you can say I try to breathe it all in and imagine what it must have been like. Idk. Im kinda silly about things but I feel more at peace when I take things in fully. My son tells me how much he loves to see my reactions to eating my favorite foods.
I think it's great that you observe and notice the little things and ponder what you are taking in. It's ashame that some people are superficial and see no value in, 'taking the time to smell the roses'. And regarding those who make fun of you, don't ever let their shallowness and near-sightedness deter you from taking in life the way you do.
@@mrvantagepro Thank you
@@TheOfficialTarynTots I think you have the soul of an artist. 😊🙋♀️
It is like magic! Every video introducing daily life scenes from the past is like a time portal. Thanks for sharing it.
Brings a lovely smile to your face.
I'm 60, and it amazes me to think that when I was young I met people who were well into their teenage years when this was taken. They really were from a different world, pre WW1.
My great grand dad was born in 1901 he passes away in 1981. Hes passed away 5 years before I was born. He had 13 siblings ( all of them are dead now)the youngest was born in 1943 and 1945 which is alive until now.
These videos capture me and leave me very moved, watching the people, their children. ... 120 years ago...how wonderful to be able to colourize them. Thank you. 🌺
Such a beautiful video, very satisfying, and calming, to me, I absolutely love history, and love knowing what it was like back then, truly wonderful video, thank you 💯🙏🏼❤️
Hard to believe England was ever like this. Everybody was so well turned out.
Contrast to today with all the obesity, litter and graffiti and let’s not mention peoples apparel.
A beautiful video, very enjoyable; thank you.

@@Hometruths29 Indeed, good point.
My wife and I were members of the National Trust for 20 odd years and I was also a volunteer. The National Trust support BLM and Gay Pride. Gay Prides anthem if you like, is a pop song from the 60’s loudly proclaiming that “Gay sex is better than straight sex”. The NT supports this; needles to say we are no longer members and I no longer volunteer.
As for diversity and multiculturalism. I asked the NT’s CEO what it was that a homosexual couple required that was different to a hetrosexual couple to facilitate NT membership or visit a NT property. Ditto a non Christian couple too. Her reply “we must be welcoming to everyone, regardless of blah, blah, blah”. She didn’t have an answer of course; and she having a degree too. I informed her she was virtue signalling.
I object to our and other peoples membership money being wasted on employing diversity officers etc at £20k plus a year when that money should be spent on the NT’s core business, old property and land management.
I understand that the NT’s Board are looking into the gay pride connection etc.
Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.
The most self induced damage to this country is through Liberalism.
@@Hometruths29 Hell yeah, certainly strikes fear into mine.
I always swore a vote for Reform was a wasted vote and it will let Labour into power.
Not anymore. I simply cannot vote Tory just to keep Labour out. Like many folk, I’m gonna vote for Remain; but I live in a Labour safe seat and the good people of this town keep voting Labour back in even though he is a rabid remoaner and did is utmost to overturn democracy and stop Brexit; daft thing is, this town voted overwhelmingly to leave the vile regime, and yet they keep him as our MP. Such is the mentality of these people.
Worrying times indeed. Especially if the Westminster Tories cancel democracy, remove Truss and re install Carrie Johnson in No10; with no Tory membership vote.
BTW. Im non tribal, therefore I don’t support any one political party.
Diversity is destroying UK and other European countries and cities.
Just look at London now…
@Proper it’s RUclips. They shadow ban comments they don’t like or agree with. It’s pathetic really.
Saddest thing of all is, all those happy kids probably ended up fighting in WW1 😢
Yes I agree my grandad served in the first war and my dad in the second but when I look around I think what was it all for
@@mariewalker4010 totally aggressive this country has gone to shit
Yes, so sad to wonder whether or not those little boys survived.
My family on both sides where born and bred here,as was I . I can trace them back at least 200 + plus years. Too see this is like looking at my family. I have walked this promenade and taken my own children on the beach. Thank you so much for this fascinating view of my home town..
Thank you sooo much for sharing this rare film sequences of the past!!!
I'm guessing it is a Sunday, everyone seems so impeccably turned out, also noticed 2 amputees maybe mining or from industrial accidents. Regardless life is so sterile today, particularly the 'architecture'. Life was very difficult back then, just getting those carts horsed up and yourself ready for the day would of meant a very early start. Either way, absolutely wonderful to watch, thank you
Sunday or any day was well dressed. I'd say the amputees were Civil war soldiers.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Morecambe is in England, so unlikely
@@louisramosa I see
Boer War causalities.
Better than slaving away for some soulless corporation.
Nobody in this film including cameraman would've even imagined a bit that people in 2022 all around the world will watch them in their homes. What a weird feeling...
I wonder if people in 2122 will read our comments here and say similar things.
@@TonyEnglandUK Agree!
I never tire of these time travel films just amazing , I lived for a year in Morcombe in the seventies and watched the pier get washed away during a storm. We were on the beach the next morning collecting the coins from the one armed bandits . Like most English sea side towns bit of a ghost town now. Sad but that's life all about change never stops we have a short window of life then gone. Just like everyone in this film ,sad but also not sad because we can still see them and share their moment in this film.
Brilliant how great great grandparents come to life in these videos. They were ppl like us and lived their life 120 years ago. We stepped in that video for a while to see and feel what it was like... Blessed it still exists 🙏❤️
1:48 Boy: "The effort to appear longer in this video is worthwhile, it will be on RUclips in 2022"
Everyone in their 'Sunday-Best' taking a walk along the promenade. Queen Victoria had just died in January of that year. So strange to not see any obese people but their diet was completely different to what we have now.
Yes you're right. She died and that's why most wore black
What a scary view ; all these poeple are all dead now and we see them in a quiet life just 13 years before the bloody WW1 ; the pictures seem so current, incredible !! Magnificent restoration !!
Why does looking at people from over one hundred years ago enjoying themselves cheer me up
Is a truly amazing piece of film. I have seen it many times, but it looks amazing colorized.
Unbelievable footage, something I thought I'd never see, one of the good things about today.
I think that this the best seascape I’ve seen!
Felt like I was there, so beautifully poignant!
Thank You!
What strikes me more than anything is how relaxed, contented and happy they look compared to people in 2022
Now we have 24/7 news with everyone having a 'political chip' on their shoulder.
@@gilldavidmour4199 exacto! 🤢
Today, people are whacked out on at least six pharmaceuticals.

From what I understand, the filming was well advertised so locals not only turned out in numbers, but well dressed too. Notcertain if it was a same day event but the film was shown in a local movie house which of course sold lots of tickets
Wow amazing footage. Morecambe looks absolutely full of life. Very different place now!! Think this was a holiday destination back then. Now Morecambe is like a place people just forgot about.
I remember Morecambe being a busy holiday resort in the early 1960's. Many came by train from Yorkshire back then too.
It has improved enormously, yes the West end is bad, but the prom is well used and appreciated, we do not want it to be like Blackpool.
@@johndoyle4723 that’s good to hear John. I haven’t been for years. No doubt it’s a stunning place
@@mahlakasplants2635 Like anywhere,it’s so much better when it’s not freezing winter
Hotels full of dingy men are livening the place up.
This was great, The smiles on the children are great. My Grandpa was born in 1898. Died in 1980. What was great then is he and I would spend much time together. We would play cards, we would walk every morning to the coffee shop get breakfast and the paper. THere and back we would talk the whole time. About when he was a kid, the good times and bad times. I also got to hang out with his neighbors who also were born in the late 1890's. Many were immigrants from Ireland. A different breed of people then today. I miss them dearly.
Being 120 years ago, all gone. They all had dreams, aspirations. Every one had a funeral and is buried somewhere. It's crazy, blows your mind man and puts your own existence into perspective. All this from a 6m restored video! Great work 👏
Pensar que ya nadie de ellos ya no existen y que después en el año2022 los veremos muchos eso yo creo que pasará con esta generación de ahora después de 120 años a futuro que dirán de las imágenes
@@joseorellana7440 es imposible que una de esas personas esten vivas nisiquiera los bebes me pregundo donde estaran sus cuerpos de toda esa gente
part of life and we need to appreciate it thats all we can
I love how the little boy with the baby carriage at 3:10 deliberately turns his sibling’s carriage around several times just so he can be in the picture again and again with the baby! 😊😂
Amazing stuff. Pretty much everyone back in those days had a hat. Also interesting how formally everyone seems to be dressed even for the beach.
Absolutely fascinating, I've been reading picture of dorian gray and this is essentially what it looked like during that story, thanks very much.
I thought of Sherlock Holmes
The Picture of Dorian Gray ❤ haven’t re-read in years, you have inspired me!
The Movie, The Picture of Doran Gray, is one of my favorites.
Out of curiosity and to "color in" more things of the film, I did a search about that pavilion and the tower. The pavilion was destroyed by fire and the steel tower were demolished during the Great War. So those are long since gone. The Winter Gardens Theatre remains, but has been waiting for a thorough restoration since the 1980s apparently. You can wiki it for more details. One thing that looks really cool are the baby prams.
Nothing changes, kids always fascinated with the camera. Wonderful film 👍🏾
The little boys always following the cameraman ,oh.. they are cute 😁
That was so well done, loved it. It has excellent clarity compared to other old movie clips
Beautiful video, I love history and now seeing place where just 2 weeks ago I was walking the same way with my family its just unbelievable.
The clarity and the quality of this film is stunning. Beautiful colorization too.
