Brilliant, thanks

Visited a Friend of a Freind in Chelsea near where Chelsea Scooters were in late sixties coming from E17 i expected it to be posh but it was a total poverty stricken slum aold unkempt big houses split in to lots and lots flats and rooms kids with no shoes kids in rags, inthink rackmans orbsomeone like him as it was a dump, obviously once the numerous legal and squatters chucked out and redeveloped it became posh and desirable again. It had a very fashionable area before WW1 WW2 Seems odd comin😮g from a poorish part of east london lower walthamstow i was shocked at the derelication and poverty !!!

Just visited and stayed there. Really amazing. It is like a time capsule. Loads of pictures of seminarians in soutanes at leisure. If you are within 100 miles of Durham an don't visit this place you have missed an open goal. Room was nice and breakfast was great. I ate tons. If you have well behaved children they will absolutely love exploring. The place is HUGE.

If anyone ever summed up his RELIGION This is the MAN 🧍‍♂️

A victim of Vatican II and the heresy of Modernism. A tragedy. Christ used to be present in that chapel - holding forth from His altar-throne in the holyTabernacle. Cardinal Merry del Val, Sec. of State to Pope St. Pius X, was educated here and loved the place all his life. It would break his heart to see what the Modernist heresy has done to it - but even more so, what it has done to the Church. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Rachman’s first properties were in Shepherd’s Bush.

Utter nonsense - Ushaw College was NOT established as a refuge for French Catholics escaping the revolution. It WAS established to continue the education of mainly English catholic men and seminarians expelled from the English College of Douai, not as a result of the revolution, but of the war between England and France.

DONT.GLORIFY EVIL BASTARDS !!!HIM.and Nick HAUSTARATON 😣Terrorised. The PROPER LONDON WORKING LONDON PEOPLE !!!g

there is a very good biography of Rachman. well worth a read, as this video just scratches the surface.

Very enjoyable and interesting film , stumbled upon by chance . I am a landscape gardener, but more importantly spend my spare time carving mountain bike trails through forests, so this resonates deeply with me. Thanks

Raymond Morrison was my sister's father, I remember him well, I met Majbritt when I was 18 just the once, I lived in one of these slum properties from 57 till 63, I remember the winter of 62/63 and playing in the snow, I was 5

"No blacks, no Irish, no dogs" is a MYTH. This channel is supposed to be a history channel, yet it propagates an easily debunked falsehood.

I hadn’t recalled the John Holt connection there. I found that quite unexpected, but what do I know?! Thanks

Can I ask are you Chelsea fan. I ask because we did a "punk tour" with a geezer a few years ago who was a Chelsea fan who I think may of been you?

Nice one Sam. Fascinated by the way you work surface textures , quite alchemical as it discovers so many aspects of light. The interesting thing for me is seeing the inner landscape follow the balance of the outer. Great stuff. Suelvis H.

He was a slum landlord. Money was all to the little bastard.

My Fathers drinking budd, would have been my God Father if he haded't died early.

*we know exactly what Gene October was doing in the club ...*

Should have been much longer, I was just beginning to enjoy it.

From speed to speedos LOL! I was a regular at the Roxy. Don't recall the fighting, but maybe that's the drugs and alcohol LOL, the place was hot and sweaty, and exciting! Punk scene was full of young kids like me who never thought we'd get a chance to do music! Punk was particularly good for women and we had so many unique and original artists like Ari, Poly, Siouxsie etc. I loved going to the Roxy and the Vortex, also went Music Machine and The Speakeasy club in Margaret street. Miss that scene!

I am starting to see where all the "conspiracies" come from and the whole "sell out" thing is coming from... So more colonial tactics of "tokenism"?

Very helpful

History is invisible except to those who know it.

What a sad demise almost as bad as the casino, icons of our youth

We run Britain

So interesting, thank you.

Girl in the gold butterfly dress is over there like "Someone notice me? Please? 🥺" LOL.

Sex Pistols never played there , but they went there. I saw Johnny Rotten there.

I know a woman who inherited some run down Notting Hill houses in the late 1970's.... Now worth millions! Lucky her. I loved Notting Hill in the 1970's... but a lot of the Rastas have now disappeared. It has gone too 'Gentrified' now..All the old Squats sold and renovated. Much smarter now...But less of a Community.

heard about Rachman shortly after coming to the UK in the mid seventies . I know that area very well , go there all the time

Why hasn't Guy Richie made a film about Rachman. Would make a good film.

Powys Square, as featured in the film Performance.

🎊

Never heard of this guy in West London but when my grand mother came to England from the Caribbean, as a nurse the hospital where she works helped with finding accommodation. Jews and Irish also housed black West Indians in North London.

Ah the return of Tory policy’s

thank you so much for the video, i'm so much helped

I now Sergiusz Poplacki right side of him. He siting every Saturday at POSK on King Streat Hammersmith. What a time was that’s

Nice to see , visited Neal Street many times when in London to see where the Roxy was . There's a Blue Plaque for the Club there now. Sad Society82 ………………………………..

Good video. Does anyone know where I can find a PDF of Shirley Green's 'Rachman'

Where was Rachman from, Aidan? He certainly was very quick upstairs with his buy to rent to the prejudiced against West Indians. If I had done the same I'd still be counting my billions now, wouldn't you think? By the way at that time I heard rumours that a Margaret Roberts(could have been the later Mrs Thatcher) once applied for a job as a dancer at Murray's Cabaret Club (where Mandy and Christine met), but for some reasons she was turned down . . . could be she out of steps with the other girls . . .did you hear that one?

I remember reading at the time Rachman was also Mandie Rice-Davies' lover and she and Christine Keeler were living free in one of Rachman's flats in Baron's Court W14. When Mandy was asked what she found interesting in a 50 year-old man, she replied "we had genuine affections for each other . . . She was only 19 at the time. . . .!!

Nice on Aidan

He was involved with the Krays too. Gave them Esmerelda's Barn to settle a debt.

is the farmer's market open every day?

Great to see this! I'm part of the team from Newcastle this year, thanks for posting! :)
