no wonder why the old people say those days were better since things were more simpler and people respect life more than today i really understand why now

[@atejani6994]

I was born in Canada but grandparents are from Trinidad. Grandmother would of been 11 years old and grandfather would of been 16 in this video. I remember how they used to say what a beautiful place it was at that time. Nice to see the Trinidad they grew up in and always talked about

[@krishnamahabir3333]

It may be your work, but sharing it with the rest of Trinidad is commendable. I for one am glad that he did.

My mother was born in 1948, she would tell us about her first time in a car going from more Diablo to penal. How safe, free and happy people were. Said she would give anything to have that simple happy life.she passed this February but the stories she told us will remain with us forever

[@Azrael__]

Amazing that so many of the buildings in POS are more than 70 years old. Not sure if that's a good thing though because it seems many of the owners haven't taken care of them (especially "down town").

[@wisdom6437]

My parents were in their early twenties. I'm a Trinidadian and live there. Boy, has life changed!!

My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. She described missing the communal spirit and the quality of the local produce. She did not miss the grinding and exploitative work on the cocoa and coffee plantations. She didn't miss walking miles in the dark to get to school. She didn't miss her childhood days stolen by carrying loads of laundry up those steep steps in Port of Spain. She didn't miss her days as a maid when she was sneeringly directed by her 'betters'. At the end she was proud she brought up her children, they were literate, she owned her home and protected her grandchildren from harm.Yeah I'm lucky to have that living testimony those snap shots are beguiling though.

[@islandgirl3330]

Similar things happened around the world in most countries. It was a different era. Talk to the old British woman, the old German woman or the old American woman. The world has progressed. Things have changed everywhere. That was life for many. Some women had to work hard. Doesn't the guy up North want to turn the clock back. I was fortunate to be born with more comforts than maybe my greatgrand mother who died long before I was born. I can write a book about my growing up in Trinidad because I had a cross section of friends. I can write so many stories for kids. These comments are showing me the need for some real everyday history. I will still always love my country. I have seen worst places that make my country look like paradise.

[@islandgirl3330]

A lot of those pictures were taken around the savannah and those building are still there, some in disrepair.. I grew up in Belmont and Woodbrook, so my playground was around the savannah and the hollow. On Sundays when I was little, listening to the police band playing in front of government house was the norm. Yes, after the war with the influx of American soldiers and sailors and the American base, POS was a different place. Also post colonial era in the 40s and 50s was different from the 70s onwards. Yes, life was and is still hard for many. I will still thank Eric Williams for my education. He was responsible for starting to build high schools all over the island and provide free high school education to all. I plan to write some books soon. Just waiting for winter to start.

[@Essex-ux4zv]

@@islandgirl3330 Let's not practice false equivalency. Trinidad is a stratified nation along lines of ethniity, class and nationality. You have had French, Portugese, Syrian, Spanish, African, Indian, Chinese and First peoples. In Tobago there is African, First People, Indian and to a lesser extent the other ethnicities mentioned. Germany has not nor ever has been that ethnically diverse. As it pertains to America the only place that compares as it relates to issues of ethnicity, class I would say New Orleans. All those nationalities did converge in the Cockpit of Europe or the Caribbean to sunbathe. The Encomienda system, slavery, indentureship, colonialism all shaped the Caribbean landscape and each system regulated the extent and instances of mixing. It's the reason for the emergence of Creole languages in the region and it's unique identity. My point was and is this, there is a tendency to romanticize the past and project upon it our desire for peace and stability that we lack in the present. This desire to homogenize everything masks discomfort with difference which undermines any notion of a harmonised existence since it requires different notes.

[@Essex-ux4zv]

@@islandgirl3330 FYI It is the ultimate expression of love to see a place in its entirety and learn from its history to make it realize a better future.

[@bigshot102]

You have a video posted on your site "Old Trinidad 1948" to which I own the copyright. You downloaded this from my channel 'oldtimecalypso' without permission. Please remove.

[@bigshot102]

@Tarek Jabal I certainly am the copyright holder Mr. "This channel has no content". Mind your own damn business.

[@bigshot102]

@TyetheRebel Well, Tye the Rebel, I actually am. I purchased the licence from the owner of the film, edited it and the resulting piece is my copyright. So you don't get to tell me my own business. And I'm quite comfortable being uncivil to people who 1) put their nose in my business and 2) download my work and post as their own. Howell could have easily used the link instead. I've produced 32 original films on Trinidad in the '40s and '50s, all from home cine film footage I have purchased and I'm fed up with y'all Trinidadians taking my work like it was your own. It's an endless, endless problem with y'all. No wonder Trinidad is such a mess now. Y'all have no respect for other people.

[@bigshot102]

TyetheRebel 😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t have to provide any proof to the likes of you, young fella. Kiss my ass Mr. “Wrong and Strong” 😂😂😂 Look wajanx here 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bigshot102]

@TyetheRebel He does not make a cent. It's monetized by the company that owns the music. Uh....if you had any content on your channel you'd know how KZbin works. Stupid ass.

[@bigshot102]

@TyetheRebel And dog, I don't need to monetize my films. I make shorts and features because I can afford to and because it brings me pleasure. I've got roughly 5000 subscribers and one of my features has approx 2,500,000 hits - and that suits me just fine..
