London Districts: Bow (Documentary)

[@chalkfarmcarsquadso1664]

My childhood was in bow and mile end till 1990s great video eric street

[@PatriciaEnright]

Born and grew up in Bow (Devons Road) went to StAgnes School. Moved away in the late 90's, a lot has changed but still key places like Bow Church, Bryant and May, Bus Garage etc remain the same. Thanks for a fantastic and informative video taking me down Memory Lane. Ps had recently read a book about Queen Matilda and her tumble into the River Lea!

[@Mike-hg1fn]

My stomping ground in the 70s & 80s, wonderful place growing up. If I could, I would go back in time and live it all again, lovely place and lovely people.

[@simonw2750]

I have just noticed these on London Live and, having lived in various parts of London in and off for over 40 years - mainly East and Southeast - lots of them bring back a flood of memories. They are extremely well put together - content, narration, photography, and music - and long may they continue. Nice one, guys.

[@RootlessNZ]

Great video - I grew up in Bow Common Lane in the 50s. I now live in Wellington New Zealand and I miss London. Not the slums I grew up in, but the history and community I once knew, which was considerable. Black, white, Irish, Jews, Europeans we all just got along because we had to.

Happy times. Thx

Iam not even harf way through, loving it. Narrator of this vlogg. Is so posh and articulate, love it.

[@saifulkhan6465]

Thank you London Districts for your amazing videos! Very honest, down-to-earth, well-produced and researched without being pretentious or slick! I spent my youth in East London from '69 to '79. Your videos take me back to a time and place I miss terribly - now that I am older and recount pieces of my life's journey in the comfort of my home in California. Thank you for making these trips down memory lane possible!

[@Anekix]

Grime music is one of the most exciting homegrown genres ever since Punk and Jungle. It still amazes me how East Londoners carried on the spirit of Jungle music after the whole UK Garage scene.

[@JakTheLad]

Not even just east but south definitely did too. Most notable was Lambeth, lewisham and Southwark.

[@richardcummins5465]

Great series bro, and love the varying background music. Magical!

[@ChrisReadUK]

Absolutely love your content! Thank you for bringing me “a slice of home.”

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

Welcome back Dewyne, missed ya from the last episode. Great content as always, fantastic narration too. Keep up the great work and music.

[@LondonDistricts]

Thanks. Got lots of family in Brooklyn, and I haven't been there in a while but intend to... one day.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

@@LondonDistricts That's awesome Dewyne, which part of Brooklyn are they in? Maybe we'll grab some sushi in WIlliamsburg or I'll jump the pond and we'll have a pint in Brixton. I also comment on here before as KCLew but I switched accounts. Still loving the angles you shoot and the soundtrack. Had no idea that Yeth Thar was actually you. Bravo Dewyne! Is there anyway I can get the soundtracks for less than £999.01? Can't wait for more content. 7.6K subscribers brother, can't till we hit 10k!

Thanks Dewyne. I worked up the road from Bow (in Globe Town) for 30 years. Brought back some memories. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Peter.

[@mickieg1994]

Think you filmed my dad at 1:26 😂😂 Great video, not too often I find documentaries about the area I live and grew up in, thanks for making it.

[@Petecope]

Thanks for another excellent guide. Been through Bow so many times but never lingered. I’ll make a point to explore next time. Appreciate your videos even more when I’m locked down most of the time.

[@LondonDistricts]

If it can stimulate that for you, then we've done our job. Cheers!

[@rickysorhaindo1359]

Don't waste your time mate, it is real dump, leave your valuables at home, I hope you get my meaning.

[@wheelie_1988]

I'm from and live in Bow. Do yourself a favour. Don't! I can't speak for anywhere else in Bow, but Roman Road is dead and done it's sell by date.

[@JKStayinVegas]

Great video again Dewyne! You should have many more views for the time it takes you to create your documentaries. But that’s KZbin for ya. We struggle with that too. Greetings again from Las Vegas and keep doing you!

Quality over quantity I say. I appreciate your view today.

[@peterchristophernettleship7050]

Great work love these. Live in Croydon but grew up in Northwood in Harrow hope these places can be done as well.

That would be cool!

Hello Dewyne. This is first time I watch this documentary and it is simply great and sniffing good. And I like listening to your accent. How I wish to imitate and try to learn to speak like it. Thanks for your sharing. 🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@LondonDistricts]

Wow, thank you - Keep watching the rest of the series and who knows, maybe you'll pick some of it up that way. I don't know your level of course, but I do know a lot of non-English speaking foreigners are instructed to watch the Eastenders TV show aswell, not sure how much that works, but hey, worth a try...

The bells of Now Church aren't the bells that determine whether you're a Cockney, that would be the bells of St Mary Le Bow in the City of London on Bow Lane.

[@mayena]

2:22-2:25 I think Browley-By-Bow is regarded by some others as a sub-district of Bow.

[@mayena]

My mothers school friend lived on Swaton Road probably from the late 1970s to the late 1990s and had also a friend from the 1980's lived in Crossways Estate we used visit there a few times.

7:57-7:59, 8:41-9:31, 9:35-9:40, my maternal great-uncle lived in Bow Bridge Estate before retiring to Southend-on-Sea, Essex. 7:54-8:04 is it actually the English monarch Mary ii (reign 1689-1694)?. Mary i reigned from 1553-1558.

Where’s Devon’s road? The 3 flats? Bow cemetery (the cemo) this video is basically the roman, and bow road only.

[@clair233]

My great x3 grandmother married in Bow and lived with her father in Southampton street when she was widowed. Not much else I can find on her and her time here including the road. It seems Bow got the worst of the bombs.

Yes that's true. Bow did take a beating from that unfortunately.

You should definitely look at areas in the borough of Bexley like Crayford, Slade Green and Erith. Their history is deep but to see their decline to how they are now should be an interesting comparison

I saw my sister and niece in this video. Also I live and from Bow. I can honestly say Roman Road is finished. When Safeway/Morrisons closed down about 15/20 years ago, that's when it started going downhill. It was only till Worthwools went under. Roman Road Market was finished. Now it's just cheap knockoffs and asian/muslim shops.

"The Roman" is in Bethnal Green (Befnal green, in the vernacular) not Bow. Bromley-by-Bow isn't Bow either. The exodus of old Eastenders has probably allowed you to get away with it but they would certainly have put you in your place years ago. Just saying.
