Rockport looks almost unchanged from 1947, impressive

Safe in NY in those days. Everyone helping out shovelling snow. Not now

The authorities always seem to be telling us that things aren’t dangerous, that are and things are dangerous, that aren’t.

Beautiful Jaguar.

amazing footage - was also there in 06/24

Bad driving basically. Advanced motorist?

Awesome nostalgia video. I well remember a blizzard we had in Brooklyn some time around 1954. Then we had those in 77 & 78. Bad weather but we lived through it.

Hi. We'd love to use some of this film at our museum as we've just done an art project about rebuilding Southampton after the Second World War. Maxustaxus please can we do that?

I would have loved sitting in Times Square’s Automat with a cup of hot coffee and a piece of pie, and looking out the window watching it all go by.

Wow! Takk fyrir! What a treasure!

Wonderful film, the presentation is fabulous, the narration is excellent, a bygone era, who could have predicted that the entire road system around London would some day be the world's greatest mobile car park.

In 1966 I was born. Looking at these videos, I can see life was FAR better post WW2 up until about 2006. Since then it has deteriorated to the utterly horrible world we live in today!

why are there bad title card transitions and censorship? pls upload the raw scan pls

What a gorgeous film, thank you so much for restoring and sharing it with us. As someone who joined the Great Cockcrow Railway as a young lad soon after it opened, it's always good to see more of the history and people that started it all.

Fascinating footage from when UK roads were killing about 7,000 a year. Now it's <2,000 despite car ownership rising from 30% to 80% of households. Glad that things have improved so much.

I thought all Jags in the 60's were driven by villains leaving a bank quickly ......

In my head I'm hearing Withnail, 'I'm making time, _Here comes another fucker!!'_

No free free Palestine marches , wonderful days !!

Listen to this bloke drone on.zzzzzzz. I had a Mk 2 Jaguar like this,in British Racing Green with black interior.I wish i had it now....id sell it as it would be worth a bundle.

We moved to Southampton early in 1950 and Above Bar was a mass of bomb sites. Woolworths comprised a wooden hut set up on the bombed base of their original store and had to be reached via a wooden bridge across an exposed cellar. Gradually during the 1950s the mainly concrete buildings that are there now were erected.

😍😍😍😍😍

"This is a very busy road" - me wondering where all the cars are..🤔

TY 🙏🙏

We did Reading, Theale, Newbury and round the CLOCK TOWER 2 days ago. How things have changed. ALL WHILE LOOKING FOR A BANK THAT WAS STILL OPEN NOT VIA A LONG WAIT ON THE TELEPHONE!!! Oh the days of double de clutching. Mk 1 Metro. Neutral slip into second and it lines up for first. David and Lily Reading.

17:49 Where is that cool little arch?

When this was filmed, there were massive plans for a web of motorways around London and most towns and cities across the country. More akin to American freeways with grand junctions that would have eaten up a lot of land. Obviously it didnt take long for resistance to set in. Sadly the destruction of the once great railway network took place despite most of the replacement roads never getting built leading to the 'worst of both worlds' situation that exists up to today.

What a contrast to how this area is now. Busy roads congested with tourist visitors, Cenarth now being a tourist attraction. Many houses are now second homes or holiday lets. It is still a beautiful area to visit and progress to use that horrible word is inevitable, but I do mourn for those long gone days.

Rest in peace mama Hattie 💔 you .

This predates my time living West of London (in Berkshire) by about 8 years. It's fascinating to see how much has changed, and how much hasn't, over the last 60-70 years. I recall the M4 being finished off in the 1970s, so we would have used a number of the old roads going into London. I figure that even the M25 wasn't being finished off until the early 1980s. I know the bits around Newbury and Hungerford like the back of my hand, and it just doesn't seem to have changed (apart from the odd bypass underneath). Even had my wedding reception in the Bear Hotel at 14:53

LOVE THIS DONE BY BOBBY RYDELL.....BEST OF BEST...

No speed cameras 😂

Wonderful evocative film. I was 9 in 1977. Precious memories.❤

Excellent AAA+ 👍

What section of the m4 was that?

beautiful footage of a railway that I knew very well when I was growing up in Cornwall in the 2000s

Hey, 15.27, Cocky little bxgger in his triumph herald!

The reason shops were closed in Cuba in 1972 was because U.S. had placed an embargo and blockaded the island from rest of the world. However, Cuba never joined U.S. under pressure. If anything, Fidel Castro became more anti U.S and pro Soviet Union. Viva 🇨🇺

Although I'd not use a v sign I don't blame that bloke for getting p....d off at getting flashed and hooted at well before it was needed! 😂 Unfortunately He might get more than a v sign nowadays 😮..... 😂

The key message is at 17:30 No point in playing 'after you Claude'. Amazing that he recognised Claude. 😂

Streets are tidy and nice. Before the nutter came to power and turned place into a mess with collapsed infrastructure

That first car sounds like my lawnmower

Somewhat alarming if this was in conjunction with the IAM… his driving was awful! If I had been his passenger, I’d have bailed before leaving London!

Most shan't know that the saying ' After you, Claude ', (which was always followed by ' No, after you, Cecil '), was from the '40's radio show ' ITMA ', (which was an abbreviation for ' It's that Man Again '). The ' Man ' was Tommy Handley. Jack Train played Claude, and Horace Percival played Cecil, who were very polite handymen.

Only criminals drove those jags.

Shame that the narrator did not identify each vehicle - he had time to do so before the voice-over.

Thanks so much for uploading this.

seems a lot smoother than now - wonder if its down to the trains

I was born in Boscombe in 1959. I grew up in Poole and obviously Bournemouth around this time. So I still remember it in its glory days. I learnt to ice skate at Ice Follies with my sister. Spent many happy hours on Bournemouth Beach and on Sandbanks in the summer. I remember my mum and auntie Val going to a Tea Dance at the Pavillion and seeing Tom Jones there in about 1967. With my mum, nanny and my sister. It was always exciting taking a trip on the trolley buses sitting upstairs in the open air. So many great memories growing up. ❤

Wow! They had brake checking idiots back then too!

Wa suka yg oren tu👍👍
