Seems like we are sliding back into those living conditions with cuts to social services, healthcare and the rising numbers of impoverished and homeless. Many of the common Victorian illnesses are making a comeback too.

I believe we will go back to somewhere near this disgusting life the way the country is in now. Even now government is wanting to take 75% of people off PIP payments. Same old story the rich get richer and the poor get poorer I despair for us all.

I taught in a school that opened in 1907, until the sixties they kept a daily log book, which were absolutely fascinating. They called the youngest children the babies class. Too often now we expect a lot from little people who haven't long since learned to walk and be potty trained. I don't work there now, but we always had cushions, beanbag s and blankets for the 3-5 year olds to have a nap if they wanted to. A tired child can't learn to the best of their ability, after a very long week who would consider building a complicated piece of flat pack furniture?

I'll preface my comment before I write it: I'm Not knocking mental unwellness, I've been in an extremely bad place at times. I'm not ridiculing anyone or saying what caused them to be mentally unwell isn't 'bad' enough of quantifying someone's cause. Not an I saying that now we shouldn't have anything to be depressed about etc, etc. I've heard the latter many times. How on earth did these residents cope with the conditions, I can't imagine getting up every day in a bed, maybe with bed bugs, very likely mould on a 'Matthew's possibly with straw or horse hair, a while family in one bed. At times no windiws, a lack of bedding, clothes & pillows, very little money. A constant struggle to survive every day. How on earth did they do it, during winter I feel blah, I'm not diagnosing it as seasonal affective disorder because I don't think it's that severe. I can't wait for spring to come, dark days, cold, wind....I need a little sunshine to at least look out at. They lost children at what we would consider an alarming rate. I'm the cemetery where I live there are headstones with several children's names, their she's listed, very sad.

Of course, the church and the crown owned such Slum Houses, and neither deserved the love and adoration the masses threw at them, those who hold the reigns of power today are nothing to be proud of and don't deserve any respect at all.

Seems like not much has changed.. and like the great depression hasn't really ended . and the guilded age is more like the Botox age and rich yutzes are still trying to out do each other...and now living in a small historical old tenement with " character" in NYC is now chic and envouge.. Crazy...and this honestly wasn't that long ago..and I'm in the states and I can recall having a relative I believe in a Yorkshire work house as late as the 1920s.. and I understand dealing with the pawn shop just to get food..when I was a child in the 1980s/90's we had great depression poverty and mom and dad worked hard at what jobs they could get..but we made i think like 2$ over the requirements for any sort of assistance..but mom had a good wedding band and a crappy one from Kmart worth 50$ and she kept the Kmart one from my wonderful stepdad and took the good one to the pawn broker just to get 100$ for a couple of months worth of food..we had a modest apt but mom kept it clean and we never had leftovers but rarely went hungry and mom told me keep your person clean and your reputation and stay in school we might be poor but we won't be dishonest or stupid and don't have to live in a pig stye she told me make the best with what God gave you do your best and help others when you can..it's not what people call you in life it's what you answer to..we rarely could afford a Dr.. we relied on home remedies that weren't completely crap..and unless it was a high fever or bleeding we just didn't go to the er or dispensary unless necessary.. and I was born sickly and disabled and we just didn't even make enough to meet the qualifications for Shriners to help me..I'm in my 40s and paying for it in the health dept but my mom and step dad did their best it was just always a choice get your kid her leg braces or eat for a month??..but mom was always available to help any of our neighbors and friends in need I've noticed that when you are all in the same situation some worst some about the same you can help each other stay a float..I got hand me downs and it never hurt me any and where I'm from if someones brother shot a 10. buck there's a good chance they'd give their family some and they'd share with us..or others it's not just a southern thing..but I've noticed poverty keeps one humble and grounded and priorities kind and thoughtful.. usually..the irony is that folks in this video ended up in America most of them and their descendants aren't doing much better by today's standards but to our ancestors we must be doing quite well it's how you look at it I suppose..I'm half native American and hillbillies from the UK and both families weren't always treated well but still did something well for me and others to be here..I have food and a modest but affordable roof and I'm content it's a lot better than when I was a kid..so something to be grateful for I suppose.. please excuse my lack of punctuation my eyesight isn't the best take care and God bless..btw I love your stories and narration it's like enjoying an old radio show

These videos are always worth a rewatch and ugh crazy how some of the things they faced then are re occuring i had to buy rat pellets.. for my .hobbit hole of a apt..( low income housing in Tx) and the hole the little creep comes in I'm fixing myself with a cheap piece of peel and stick linoleum 😂since our landlord barely fixes major crap let alone minor things but our home thank God isn't a dirty pest hole like in these videos or angelas ashes its an old well kept to a point building from the 1950s lol..but its sad to see how people sufferd then and still do i had one apt that was pretty close to something like what these folks lived in it was a old motel and 680$ a month abp for 450 sq ft of filth and mold and we used to think the bed bugs and roaches were on the lease but they weren't the worst parasite we dealt with it was our land Lord..at the time so I guess my place now is a step up lol...but I always cant tell if I saw this video or not so if i re watch just means your videos are that good and worth it 😂

@pisceanbeauty2503 Ай бұрын

We have to take these readings with a grain of salt. Often we ignore that poor people also have loves, laughs, triumphs, and friendship, and aren’t just the hardships. Sometimes these takes can be very dehumanizing, and sadly sometimes we speak about low income people similarly today.

It must be some detail about how the work houses operated that they took poor Mr Hussey to the work house instead of to a hospital. Did hospitals not exist there yet? Or was the guy too poor and wretched to be permitted inside of one... a real shame that this sort of thing still occurs today.

@laurensteenkamp7693 5 ай бұрын

Sadly with the events of this video happened at least 50 years before the NHS was founded, as a result anyone whom didn't have steady jobs (aka decently paid, year round work) wouldn't be able to pay for a stay in hospital. So Mr Hussey being taken to the workhouse isn't surprising, the workhouse infirmary was the only place most people could afford to go for 'healthcare' as it was free. Unfortunately, as well as it being a place for women in labour (whom couldn't be gotten to the nearest mother and baby homes) and those near death many workhouse infirmaries were treated as a dumping ground for those with mental health issues and severe disabilities whose families couldn't afford to send them to asylums/ specialist colonies in the countryside
