LOL - Never studied the real history of London's working class slums, workhouses, Rowntree Reports, smog, cholera, TB, polio etc. Of course the real 'enforced enrichment' was the looting of the coloniesand keeping them as captive market plantations etc. which made Britain the richest country in the world under Victoria. Along with looting India's wealth [estimated at US$45 Trillion from 1757-1938 which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain - search Jason Hickel India] they also took India's foodgrains for British Food Security and Profit. As retold in Late Victorian Holocausts, in 1877 as record amounts of India's grains were stole, reducing prices for Westerners, Disraeli's regime set up camps in South India for those famine victims still able to work [rest left to die] which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour killing 94% of inmates! In 1900 1/4 of Britain's wheat was brought in from India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated that at least 19 million died of starvation in Western India due to British policies. In 1936 Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort.

Thank you for showing the life of different classes and estates, and not just the aristocracy. Some photos are like illustrations for stories about Sherlock Holmes 😊
8:32. Great to see a bus showing Brixton and Streatham, which is where I was brought up in the 50s, and when Streatham certainly wasn’t a village! Thanks for showing us these fascinating pictures which are even better in colour! ❤😊
Interestingly, in 1909 there occured the "Tottenham outrage, 2 Serbians had attempted to assassinate the then French president,and failing,fled to Scotland where they remained hidden for 1 year. Their names were Lapidus and Helfeld. They returned to Tottenham and attempted to rob a paint factory in Tottenham of its wages money being taken to the bank as normal by a young boy and a protector .several persons were shot. In those days the public could constitutionally carry arms for self defence, but the police then only carried wooden truncheons.The public joined forces with the police and a long chase commenced with several police casualties. Eventually on capture Helfeld shot himself and Iapidus was shot and killed by a member of the public. The only permitted police weapon arrived by bicycle with a police Sargeant carrying a Cutlass sword.
can anyone tell me where the buildings at 06.02 are and if they are still standing ? im sure i ate and drank at the bar on the right last month on a visit to london
Fantastic shots of how great London was...has London moved on for the better? It certainly has lost a lot of it's character and appeal as the photos show.
Great video!, thanks for sharing. I started to watch what I thought was going to be the usual one sided slop about London, wrong!, it was a fair sided account of rich and poor.
"Bright Style" has covered many Happier time of 19th and early 20th Century, but missed out one more Historical event 1888 "Jack the Ripper" which brought London East End practically world famous to more to say derrogative manners.
The description given at 6.11 is incorrect. The letters ER on the wal are part of the local celebration of the accession or coronation of King Edward VII. He ascended the throne in 1901 following the death of his mother Victoria.
The use of red and blue in these photos are quite overwhelming. I understand why the colours are used but in some photos just a little too much. I still enjoyed the video.
At 3:47 time the "Gilded Age" commentary is incorrect. This is NOT London, but somewhere in the U.S.A. Look at the flag flying atop a building. It's the American flag! The building is NOT the American Embassy. So where exactly is this?????
If you look at the writing on the awning outside the Diaphone shop, on the left, it says '203 Regent Street'. The buildings must have all been extended since the photo., but 203 Regent St, is still on a corner.
Probably. There's a Fullers restaurant listed on Google as US based. Plus, the shop on the left, Diaphone is also an American owned company. But the awning says '23 Regent Street'.@@MrDaiseymay
At 4:17 - the Picture of PIcadilly Square in London. You state the statue atop the fountain is Eros. WRONG! The stature atop the fountain is his brother - "ANTEROS." Anteros was the god of "requited" love or "Love Returned." Eros, his brother is NOT atop the fountain. Eros was the god of "Carnal Love." Eros was also known as Cupid. Get your facts straight.
Many of these photos don’t look right, they appear to be overlays or composites and not very real in appearance. I just wonder of someone is trying to use AI to reproduce these images and its gone slightly wrong?📸❌
So they was rolling around with a horse and buggy yet they was building large marble structures. Not buying it. Those buildings were not built they these people. Those buildings were built long before these people repopulated these areas. Think about it!
Great Photos and great enhancements but your captions are desperately bad. Your lack of historical and geographical knowledge of London combined with English clearly not being your first language is plain to see.

Fascinating to see our history in colour and a reminder that people lived before us and one day .... we will be in the past too.
Thank you so much for your comment

Who would have thought it would be like it is now
Wow! these buildings still stand , thank you for posting.
WHAT--ALL OF 'EM?
Thanks. It's interesting to see the people of that time.
Thank you I appreciate it

Thank you so much, I appreciate it
More, please..
Absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so much!
Everyone was so smart and had self-respect
Here we have another "Gem" from Bright Style. Thank you very much!
Wish it was like that now
one day we will just be a memory. Our life will be nothing more than a echo the past. OUR WORLD will too become an added layer
Fantastic photos....Thanks for all the hard work and great colouring skills.
Thank you so much
Un viaje al pasado muy bonito gracias desde España
Muchas gracias por su comentario

Thank you, I really appreciate it
Amazing beautiful pictures, really enjoyed looking through them. Thank you for sharing your unique hard work.
Apart from advances id medical science I cannot think of one thing in the name of progress that has made this country a better place to live
Old Age Pensions; Votes for women; Central Heating; The Welfare State
including the National Health Service ..........
Super 🎉 Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤😊❤
Thank you
Lovely trip down memory lane, sad to say most is changed beyond all recognition! Not the London I knew and was born and bred! So much for progress 😅
Yes, I am horrified by what's happened to London and the huge monstrous high rise buildings springing up everywhere. It's just not London any more.
Memory lane? What are you 123 years old?
@@Makeyourselfbig It's only in the last 20-30 years that all of those lovely old buildings got replaced by high rise stuff.
@@Makeyourselfbig What are you challenged or just toxic?
@@carlgrove8793 Not just the buildings.
Thank you I love vídeos like this.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it
Fantabulous as usual thank you
Interesting that Pears Soap is still being made and sold even now...
I’ve just used Pears soap. I love the fragrance and lather. Takes me back to my teens. I’m now 74! ❤
And I saw Schweppes advertised too
WHAT FANTASTIC CLARITY, HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE ? AND LOVE THE COLOURISATION TOO. i GUESS THESE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE SOLD AS POST CARDS ORIGINALLY .
Take me back 😂
They were loving photos in colour 😊
Agreed. Lots of work required to do it.
My grandparents had a house in Chelsea and an apartment opposite Regents Park. To think they walked these streets.
RODE SURELY ?
@@MrDaiseymay nope, taxis, no room for horses or cars.
Looks like Camden in some of the pictures great job
Marvelous!!
Thank you!
Not a stabbing or "whagwan fam" in site.
Love the music !
Thanks
No way Latvian revolutionaries? 😮 I am Latvian too and hear something this unique is impressive to me! 😮
I was surprised to learn it too :D Love Riga

THERES A NOTHER, MORE FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS SCENE, SHOWING A YOUNG WINSTON CHURCHILL AT THE SCENE, HE WAS HOME SECRETARY AT THAT TIME.
My grandfather drove a horse drawn bus in London.
We have pavements in England not sidewalks. I doubt some of the pictures were of London.
Interestingly in Philadelphia we called them pavements too...Not so much today. Most say " sidewalks".
@@yvonneplant9434 IGNORE
Big shout out t the camera operator who risked everything by using a time machne to show us the past.
Before it got ruined.
can anyone tell me where the buildings at 06.02 are and if they are still standing ? im sure i ate and drank at the bar on the right last month on a visit to london
What prompted you to choose that music?
London of Sherlock Holmes.

What's that compared to today, when everyone has their iPhone and doesn't even look up to take in their surroundings ... let alone the next person.
Back then I wonder when most men saw a naked woman for the first time ..probably in their 20's after wedding....
unless they were wealthy, and bought it
Hermosas imágenes
Gracias
I’m not too thrilled with the subtitles. Surely the name of the street and/or the year would suffice.
They had hope for the future, unlike now.
And now it’s the world’s toilet
👌👌
Travelled much?
Guys an idiot
What borough do you live in?
???
And they claim that EVs are a new thing
I bet these didn't burst into flames
Impressive! The only criticism is the colours are too vibrant. Like it's from an old technicolor movie.
THERE ARE LIMMITS,
Why are there limits?

This is London's Regent Street of the early 20th century, a little further Maddox Street... there was former American Embassy Chancery
WRONG! just trust BRIGHT STYLE
could it not be an American owned business ? they fly their flag more than we do.
Probably. There's a Fullers restaurant listed on Google as US based. Plus, the shop on the left, Diaphone is also an American owned company. But the awning says '23 Regent Street'.@@MrDaiseymay

get over yourself and appreciate the effort and time that has gone into these photos
don't be so bloody rude.....and thank BRIGHT STYLE for doing this for us all.
@@ChrisGee-rx9gg Absolutely agree 👍

few colors do look futuristic or unorthodox or first day painted tbh

Why have you restored and enhanced these photos, only to overlay with fake dust and awful music?
Great Photos and great enhancements but your captions are desperately bad. Your lack of historical and geographical knowledge of London combined with English clearly not being your first language is plain to see.
I just enjoyed the immages
My father was born on motcomb street London in 1915 its near Harrod's in a pub there
