I remember getting a bike from Tommy Braunds bike shop on Coatsworth Road. Great video.

I cannot see any Muslims or black people so this must be fake ;)

Wonderful England as it was in times gone by ❤❤❤. God only knows what has happened to this once lovely country !!!!!

Even though I'm not old enough to remember these places as they were, I knew exactly where the first one was, I used to come here to watch trains lol

its fucked now

Shame we didn't see any vauxhalls.

Depending on what part of the country you lived, for many people the late 1940s post WW2 and the 1950s were the best years ever!

I was 15 in 1950 my family didn,t prosper as much as some who bought new cars etc,but it was a decade of unprecedented prosperity for most,it prompted MacMillan to say the British had never had it so good and he was right.

These are all trevor ermel photos

That one remaining house

Beautiful urban landscape

They were colonised and forced out.

Long gone now , just memories

That's when people were human

In remember this sort of thing well and the smell not redmands shops coffee grounds and bacon smells

Love Iceland a place I really want to visit ❤❤❤

Gateshead is a shit hole now thanks to our governments

Was the Cozy Cafe in Cheshire St? My dad owned Chartway, a furniture frame makers factory just opposite under the brick arch and backing onto the railway. Certainly a feature between the late 50s and late 70s when they moved to Waltham Abbey. I think it's all been renovated since. There were tenement slums above my dad's factory. His factory was in a yard behind the tenaments.

Lovely full of character

Life has improved enormously since then for most people. Just look at life expectancy

Some of this is bollocks , Ford Anglia did not appear until 1959 , children with trainers on ! and yes I am that old to have lived it !

Ah, yes, I remember it well. Soon those that do, will all be gone, and another page turns.

Happy days and we didn’t know it.

We had a largely God-fearing population. Not any longer. We now gave Wicked perverted Gid mocking population. Romans chapter 1 in the King James Bible.

the countryside the politicians cant reach is being destroyed by building houses on it.

I was there, and everyone in the working class was in the same situation. There was no money, so everybody helped each other out. All I remember are happy times.

It was a great country, the best. Now a dumping ground for rapists, murderers, criminals, foreign drug gangs and the dross of the World thanks to stupid spineless Governments, knife crime is rife, open borders we are a joke, nothing great anymore about Britain.

England sinking fast government are allowing it .There are too many coming in from everywhere.So sad to see it happen feel sorry for our kids and grandkids . Say anything and you are called racist .

Self righteous comments like…’ England oh my England’…makes me squirm, what does the twit mean by it has been ..‘destroyed’….in what way has it been destroyed, there’s no industry left more or less of course but that’s the same with most of Europe

So sad that a lot of the people here are long gone by now. Forever frozen in a photograph. They hadn't a clue as to what this country would turn into. Would they even have believed it?

We are now a Tower of Babel.

Not over run with thieves

"By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, when we remembered thee O Zion." It was a different ,hopeful, idealistic world.

Destroyed by immigration.

Mini-skirts and mod scooters in the 1950's? I think not. ! was born in 1949 and grew up in South London - just off the Old Kent Road. In an area that was not just a place on a map, but a thriving community. People were born, grew, and died on its streets in the knowledge that, should they need it, help was just outside their front door. We had NEIGHBOURS, not strangers. Often generations of the same family had lived in those houses, giving aid, help, and humour where required. The local pub was more of a community centre. A place where news was exchanged and support given. We didn't have such a thing as a bathroom. We used to use the local public baths. Outside toilets weren't unknown. Playgrounds were the 'bomb sites' left over from WW2. Everyone kept an eye out for everyone else. None of my friends had fathers who were out of work, they were either on the railways, the Royal Mail, or the London docks. Not anymore. Now the whole area is one huge 'green space'. Its's called Burgess Park. Look on any modern map, it's easy to see. Heck, you could probably see it from space! But what you won't see is a community - of any sort, because so few people live there anymore. The house I grew up in is gone and the land is now the changing rooms for a football pitch. We used to save our pocket money to buy a Greenline bus ticket to go out of London for a days fishing. Now you can walk around the lake that sits next to my old primary school, and ask anglers what they've caught today. The soul of the area was ripped out when the compulsory purchase orders started flying. I haven't been to London for over 50 years, nor will I. I wouldn't be able to see anything through the tears shed in memory of a time and place long gone. The GLC succeeded where the Luftwaffe failed.

Not a fascist in sight, but that was before massive immigration of Muslims fascist

I was a kid then One of 12.😢 before the down fall of are land culture

Just as I remember the 50s as a young kid born in 54. Always out playing in the streets. W 2:31 We didn't have a lot of money but we were so well off compared to the poorest.

I love those pictures. They are images from my youth. Just like London in the 1950s

I was born in 1964 & grew up in the 1970s. I still felt the reverberations of these times (the 50s & 60s) & they were great. No money, 3 day weeks for the old man, power cuts, winter of discontent ...ALL of that, but somehow it was a great, happy time to be alive. Take me back!

Where did you go to my lovely? Born,march 1956❤

Fantastic nostalgic photos can you tell me name of beautiful classical music playing ❤

Out was terrible for most after that disastrous war,food rationing,housing shortage,a bleak existence for most,immigration was the best option if you vould,the are the facts,not pretty photos!😉😉😉😉😉😉

This is when we had a country to be proud of, unlike the sewer it’s now become.

Excellent portrayal of many of the places I hold dear as a kid.

Absolutely gut wrenching to see these photos of Britain as it was until those traitors and bastards in Parliament well and truly sold us all down the river,. and for what? We never ever got any benefit out of it.

There’s no need for the depressing music. The 50s were arguably better than things now?

Living in an environment manufactured by corporates and their political servants is hell 200 plus mps voted for raw sewage into rivers seas and lakes i wonder why?

Good in 50s and 60s now a shit totalitarian country a mix of fascism and communism

Not so much money but happier.
