Nice to see the Blue , lots of good memories of the old Bermondsey , from 1967 to 1981

[@darcylowe5292]

Comin' over the Blue? A phrase from my childhood, so wonderful to see it again, thank you so much!

[@jennywoolf]

Great film!

[@stephenomara1109]

Russel a proper Bermondsey boy

[@emmaitch]

Thanks Sylvie. Yes, Russell is a lot younger here as this is some footage I've been collecting in the area for a few years that will go into a much bigger film project at some point.

Well said

[@emmaitch]

Well said, Laura Hales. Bermondsey's still great!

[@johnlewis9158]

Michael if you could tell the story of the Surrey docks that would be great. That is what gave this place its character

[@emmaitch]

I have done, John Lewis, and there's a film that tells that story.

[@emmaitch]

At different times over the last 8 years or so.

Great film - when exactly was this shot? Russell looks younger today than he did then!

[@Pangloss2020]

True - Bermondsey's great & getting better

[@Quincycle]

Getting better it aint

[@laurahales8291]

Great film Michael . Russell for Mayor!! As for the negative comment about Bermondsey being shit... What planet are you on?

[@chris-rfs]

Bermondsey is still great but it is not Cockney! Bermondsonians have a unique south London accent!It sounds like Cockney i agree,but it is not. I have lived here all my life and things have changed but most Bermondsey people are good people that will help anyone. We need an updated video to show the changes in the area!.👍🙂

[@emmaitch]

It's on my to-do list, Christopher, but as soon as things are all opened up again I have to finish off the film I'm making about Silwood Estate.

I was born and bred in bermondsey brought my 4 kids up there proud to be bermondsey but it's not home anymore most of bermondsey now is not even english

[@emmaitch]

I was born and bred there too and Bermondsey is much better now.

[@Quincycle]

Most of London ain't English mate. What you gonna do about it? Join Patriotic Alternative. The only group that fights for the right of white Brits not to be replaced

[@emmaitch]

The people who live there don't think so, just the Bermondsey Deserters who sit in their boring little towns and boring leafy villages where nothing happens. Bermondsey is better now than it's ever been.

[@H4CK61]

Bollocks wake up ffs.

[@stephenomara1109]

What a stupid thing to say

[@simonrogers3267]

Aaahhh the good old days when Bermondsey and the country in general was better.

[@emmaitch]

Sounds like your life has been going downhill for some years. I'm very pleased that my world has got better and think Bermondsey is a much better place now.
