1960s Brixton streets, people walk past, shop fronts, pub, bobbies, colour home movie footage - บันเทิง
Well done to the person who thought of filming this back in the sixties. Look how much London has changed and unfortunately not for the better.
So much history in London, shame it got ruined
My home city has lost its identity ! But I love the old place as it once was, This film speaks a thousand words !!
I didn't live in Brixton but on some Saturday mornings would go there to look at the motorbikes in shops like Pride and Clarks. I bought a Lambretta and Triumph trophy 650 there.
Ye pride an Clarke’s Stockwell rd lol my brothers favourite place. We grew up Tulse hill .
Mk2 jag police car pure British class. Great video. Watching this video suddenly makes me realise how lucky we are, we nearly all have cars these days and can just jump in them and go wherever we want in the whole country at a moments notice. Why am I sat here at home I should go out somewhere!!
London has changed beyond all recognition ! Our capitol city of England has been allowed to turn into a metropolis of unknowns, who don't even speak to one another, Many don't even know their next door neighbour. Now that is a damning indictment of the gross negligence of politicians over the decades, who have allowed it to fall in to such a sad decline. My biggest complaint would have to be knife crime, which has claimed so many young lives, London never had an epidemic of such crimes on such a high proportion, ever !
Never lived in London but I bet this film brings tears to the eyes of those who remember it like this . Such a shame what's been allowed to happen
1981 Brixton went down hill end of an era the old days
I lived nearby and, with the greatest of reluctance, moved 11 miles away in 1983 as I was witnessing things that I had never really experienced first hand before and my instinct was to move somewhere much safer and 38 years later I am still in the same house on the periphery of S E London and STILL without a lock on my back door and if I go away in September I, genuinely, won;t give a thought to any risk bit I DO miss the vibe of that area....
I used to go to Brixton to get my hair cut. I had a friend who had a business there and was struggling a bit so went to him for my hair cuts to support him a bit. Once I was a bit early for my appointment so popped into KFC to get something to eat. There was a long queue and as I walked in there was a chorus of 'kissing teeth' ... I never went to Brixton again after that ...
spot the two policemen at the start, no a single piece of equipment on their bodies. prob had a whistle and a truncheon about their person
Happy days
As soon as the video open you see it’s Brixton!! the pub 😂 and two police on the corner, something that ain’t change😂🤣
The cars in the street look so ancient.
I used to live in Josephine Avenue back in the sixties and as soon as I saw the painted lamp posts .....yeah they used to be painted
This is brilliant thank you for sharing
I used to live in brixton and i do my shopping alot back in these days before i moved around london and south east of england at lots of town centre to do my shopping and traveling
Great thanks I used to live in streatham!
Just before my grandfather and grandmother left JA and resettled in Brixton hill. What a blooming mistake. I'd wish they had gone a America or stayed put. This country so blooming cold. Freeze my socks off 80%0 of the blinking year.
This is the early 1970s judging by the cars..I have lived there all my life
It’s the 60s you div
@@freshprinceoflondonss9008
Thanks Knobber 👍
Name the car you can see that was only produced in 1970 or later
Wow, i lived 2 roads along from the Atlantic pub.........Salton road,
1957........1969...
course it is brixton if ur from there you must know the atlantic pub its still there
The Atlantic pub was very much a villains pub back in the day. Many a punch-up came out of there when I was a lad. In the mid 1950s I bought an olive green jumper that I saved hard for and other minor clothing needs from Barrie's, but the 60's brought places like Burton's and Jackson's Tailoring, to the fore. Most of us had Burton's made to measure three button Italian suits and I still have two suits made in the mid 1970s which are as good as the day they were made and still relevant as far as style goes. Had a few Jackson's suits as well as suits from Gregory and Roche in Streatham Hill and other places in Streatham.
Fyi.....was brought up two streets away...Saltoun Rd,
1957- 1969.....happy days....BYG (before yuppification/gentrification )
A lovely Daimler Majestic (Major?) at 1min 32 secs.
Atlantic pub
Anyone else notice the time traveler from the 1980s at 2:14 ? Chap with the walking stick.
How do you mean "time traveller," Mark Smith?
@@daisychain3007 Hi Daisy Chain, the guy I refer to, looks like he dropped in from London 1984/85 just from what he was wearing and hair style. Hope you are well, best from the UK.
@@marksmith5237 hair style? he has an Afro..
it must be later than may 1963 as there are two hillman imps. and an austin 1100.
This was a time when everything was 'perfect', ? ..I grew up in the MARKET during ' these times ', wow.
Wow🇬🇧🇯🇲💯
When Brixton was Brixton now its steelers quereers and rich hippys moving in and locol authorities during people out
1950's/1950's VERY Middle Class then locals were driven out by a new culture that dominated the area and now future generations of those people are being driven out by Gentrification.
Life has gone full circle in my lifetime.
Bet your bottom dollar, there wasn't any street muggings back then
Forgive a non-Pommie's ignorance: Was that the same Brixton that had the riots in the early 1980's?
forestsoceansmusic Yes, the same place
Ta muchly. Is Toxteth anywhere near to there?
forestsoceansmusic Toxteth is a suburb of Liverpool which is about 220 miles north and east of London. There were also riots in Broadwater Farm Tottenham Brixton is in south west London and Tottenham is in far north east London. Some of the earliest riots in the U.K. were in Notting Hill which is in north London, but more central than Tottenham. Notting hill used to have a large number of Jamaican immigrants, but this in now a mix of exceptionally expensive period housing and modern social housing including Grenfell Tower.
Very informative, thank you. I knew Liverpool was about that far North...West(?) of London, but I didn't know Toxteth was one of its suburbs. Were the riots mainly due to Thatcher's general austerity measures? Or her attempt to break the NUM? Or her bringing in the Poll Tax?
forestsoceansmusic These riots started due to concerns about the inadequate treatment of a young black man who was taken into custody having already been stabbed. The occurred at a time of high unemployment particularly amongst disaffected youth. The hatred of Mrs Thatcher was widespread across the country and included working class mining areas in Wales and the north and central England. The miners went on strike and she basically planned to starve them back to work. Then passed legislation so only six people could picket outside of factories or mines to prevent public disturbance.
The only real connection between these public disturbances is the fact that working class people were involved and the Iron Lady was the prime minister.
Toxteth, is in the North East of England and what little Georgian property exists has also been gentrified.
Bit different now. The Yuppies have moved in & are paying £1mill + for the privilege
Privilege for what? In London? Yuppies?
@DoublEE You sure it wasn't the Irish? lol
@J. Harris. I grew up there from 1943 - 1969 and I can tell you that me, and all the people I knew,were as poor as church mice. The difference was the criminals kept themselves to themselves and the bullies got a black eye if they pushed the wrong people around. A bit different to the gun and knife culture we see today.
@MR Houston's Mccaine I have lived there all my life and the place now is far better than what it was in the 80s and 90s The middle class influx has regenerated the Area for the better
So refreshing to see a part of England when it was generally recognizable as English.
You know London had slums way before immigrants came , matter of fact the whole East end was considered a giant slum ,stop with you're ignorance
sanjay j what was the aim of your comment?
Thankfully London has always been an international melting pot. The kind of place that would give snowflake Ric here a dose of the runs with his fear of foreigners.
@@bassbytes 'snowflake' Ric has lived and worked in India, Africa Germany. No problems with being the only white man in the town, and respect is given to native culture, however it may jar with my sentiments, but I'll always be an Englishman- who will probably end up in Addis Ababa. You seem to have lost respect for your own culture. Of my black relatives, they love their heritage much more than the English...
@@ric6383 cool story bro, very believable.
grew up on brighton terrace went to dick sheppard. left years ago. and i have never drunk in that pub or paid it much notice. thanks for the heads up tho. ;)
