My what a change. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. My father did the shopping. Until the children got old enough. Then it occasionally became a family affair
This hits so close to home. My great-grandfather and great-grandfather went through this famine. They left for Wales and then my "clan" dispersed throughout the world. From America, Canada, Australia and even to South Africa (where I reside now). Anywhere but England. The stories my grandparents told me, which stuck in my mind up and until today, are horrible. Makes me grateful for what I have.
Aye I can imagine. My Dutch grandparents lived through WWII and the great Dutch Hunger winter not the same but similar. Our ancestors went through a lot so we could be where we are...agreed :) Thanks for watching. Cheers.
It's amazing I grew up in Whitechapel and the elephant and castle. When I look in the windows of estate agents I see adverts for what were slum houses selling for up to a million pounds It's hard to believe that a house in the elephant and castle can sell for that money
Area diving was still going on in the fifties but it was frowned on as it was robbing your own. The wealthy were considered fair game but you didn't steal of people who had less than you.after WW11 This loyalty to your own class became a code 😅
This was my first time of experiencing your channel, and holy crap! Why are you not in the several millions of subscribers? This is absolute GOLD! I am blown away by this story….. Thank You!…
Thank you so much for this piece of Art! This connects with me on another level than all other historic videos i‘ve seen before. You truly have a talent in Storytelling and in making history interesting. I wish that more people would see it, it‘s truly a shame.. May the future hold as much success for you as your previous videos did :)
As long as those like you find it, it will grow...videos like this are slow burners. Took my Roman video 2 years to get traction. Cheers and thx for the words of support.
The potato “famine” was half famine half genocide of the Irish. The British willing gave food to the Protestant Irish but if you were a Catholic you starved. The Irish who converted to get food were often referred to as “Soup takers”.
@@tatarcavalry2342u should read A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift. Even tho I had read of the Irish horror all of my life. Nothing prepared me for Swift's essay.

A job well done!! Been looking for something unique, professionally made and generally just worth the 41 mins of my life and this is it! It's not worth watching if you don't learn something new..
It’s a testament to parental and mother love that babies survived at all. Logically, these women had NOTHING to give their babies, but found the energy to feed & clothe them. Astounding. The sensible thing to do would have been to let them “quietly fade away”, but no, they fiercely protected them. We are the descendants of these people. The survivors. Interesting.
That is how I look at it too...each of us now is around due to the survival of our ancestors. Imagine all those full/short unique lives they lived just like us.
Haha as a Canadian Gen X'er I grew up with British TV here and these were all shows I watched :) "On the Buses", "The Two Ronnies", "Benny Hill", "Fawlty Towers" etc etc :) Cheers.
The Lambeth boys hardly ventured across the river to canary wharf.later in the early 20th century Surrey docks opened on the south side of the river this attracted crooks from Bermondsey and Lambeth
I'll never forget my fiance, British whose Mum is from Ireland, asking his Mum during the 1960's, why some shops had signs in front that read "no dogs, no blacks and no Irish". I pray for this world. It's everywhere. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Dear author of the channel, i'm still hoping that someday you'll made a "your life as a plantation slave, soldier and civic activist in Civil War era USA" series. Thank you! P.S. Frederick Douglass's and Harriet Tubman's memoirs will be excellent starting points on a possible investigation of yours.
In regards to the first 5 seconds of the video. We would have had enough food but the British took and exported all to other foods such as meats. We had enough food in cork to feed the whole country but it was stored in the port to be exported under guard. Of course the blight did hurt the potatoes but they were not the only food on the island. It was a man made genocide of my people that nobody has ever felt bad for doing to us.
What a hell of a tail you told!!! I might ask that you perform my eulogy..... I'll sound great.. although I'm Irish Catholic and as those who know , they know!!! We're bastards while we're alive and saints once we're dead... Great video, great job, really enjoyed it...
Interesting you say that. I've just returned from the funeral of an Irish Catholic friend, the priest went on about what a good Catholic he was 😅 I'd known him for50 years and never once did I know him too go to church he had nothing but contemporary for the church and considered priests to 41 be drunks and paedophiles but as you say after his death he was a Saint in the years I knew him he was a really great guy but to the church g and the law he was a bad man just shows the incredible hypocrisy of the church😂
Tried in some ways. Physically it's very different. I looked at some old maps. 80 percent of the streets are gone. Would love to have wandered round the hellish tenement rows. But living in them. Shudder. I live in leyton but love the mile end road
In Victorian England, between 1670 and 1875, the top 1% has held between 22 and 29% of the overall wealth. In modern day USA, the top 1% held 22.8% in 1990, which has increased to 30.9% in 2021 and since gone slightly down to 30.0% Given that the economic proposals of the 47th president are likely to increase that gap, there is an argument to be made that the modern US is worse than Victorian England.
Can't see what you point is? Is it about the conditions the Irish had to put up with when they joined the already suffering population of the east end. My family wasn't Irish they were part of the existing Eastenders. Am I supposed to feel sorry for them. My Family was from Shoreditch, my wife's family around the Elephant and Castle. I heard the family hardship stories. My wife lived 6 to a room, when growing up. Conditions didn't change much into the 60s. Our play grounds were bomb sites. Some kids, if they didn't eat at school, would have starved. All i hear is that we want reparations for dead relatives who had it bad. Well I Don't want paying for what others went through. I wanted better for me and my family. We done with my wife, we did it ourselves. Look forward to better future for yourself, not back for pity.
You feel what you want to feel. If you felt apathy or disdain that's perfectly fine too. Not every piece of history is for everyone and that is fine. Im Dutch who grew up poor, very poor so was just my thought to tell the story of a typical immigrant at the time who ended up in gang life. THe idea is to continue the story in New York. The fact he was poor...nature vs nurture is also part of the story but for the viewer to decide. At the end of the day I will tell the stories I want to tell. Thanks for watching!
Haha that is the plan. Just finishing up Roman Envoy part 3...then Sassanid then may revisit the sequel :D I will say he arrives at a "very" interesting time in New York :)
I have heard of that A Major-problem at the time during the victorian Era was drunkenness. Amongst the people of the public and the police themselves. Many of the original peelers were dismissed within ten years for being drunk whist on duty.
This is the story of my great,great grandparents...on my Mother's side ( Nan) They left Cork and ended up in Whitechapel...they lived in a Court, probably with their Horse!
The poor in America are wealthier than the poor around the world. Even the poor have clean drinking water and air conditioning in overwhelming majority of situations
@@TingTingalingy This is true of most developed nations. It doesn't change the nonsense that is the top 1% just sitting on enough capital to solve many of the world's woes to make sure them and their children stay the top 1%.

Johnathan Wilde, born in Wolverhampton and re-located to London and took over the London underworld.. he was a pimp and vagabond. Catherine Eddows , also from Wolverhampton and a victim of Jack the Ripper, was one of Mr wildes working girls.. I have done extensive research on this subject and wrote a book, called back in the day sacrifice available on Amazon by Tony Gray.. it would be fitting for the orator to cover the life and times of the gangster, Johnathan Wilde..
I hope that your book had a good proof reader, your grammar and syntax are all over the place, so many errors that I stopped bothering to count after ten. 41:20
The New cut didn't exist in victorianan times. It was built as a short cut between London Bridge and Westminster Bridge. It wwas lined with market stalls and carried on past Westminster Bridge to Lambeth high street and Lambeth walk
It's a great question and while i didn't really go into the reasons they were as follows: Ireland at the time was ruled as a colony by Great Britain. Land was owned by the British. Irish tenant farmers could not own land. THe British had a huge percentage of their farms designated for potato. The first year of the famine the blight destroyed half that crop. So without other food sources or ability to grow other crops (they didn't own the land) they starved. Was actually horrible. This is why there are so many Irish in countries like America/Canada etc.
Actually there was plenty of food grown in Ireland during the potato famine. However it was worth more money in England than it was in Ireland. So the people who owned it, the upper classes, shipped it there. The food crops that failed were mostly the tenant-farmers potatoes. Which means they had no food and no cash. But that didn't matter because if they'd had cash all the other food had pretty much been shipped to England already. Thousands of people starved because there was more profit in selling the product somewhere else. It was an entirely manufactured famine. The same thing happened in India a few years later and then again during WWI. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in WWII too. But I know less about that era.
The only thing that England brought over was problems. The back up food that you speak about was brought over to England for to sell. Victoria was not a right bitch to the Irish she also starved her own people. No back up food for these people also .
The irony was that the potato had ended famine in Europe -- but Ireland only took to ONE type of potato strain and when the blight struck they had no answer
It is a blend of real Victorian era photographs (creative commons so not sure) and AI generated ones. Roughly 50/50...using AI only when I couldn't get a proper scene/character.
Jt wwas like this for the poor in most cities:new york Liverpool or Paris many of the people born there managed to survive two world wars they says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
The elephant and castle gang and the Lambeth boys operated South of the Thames the monkeys and the Whitechapel gans were in the east end on the north side. This was still going on in the 1960s with the Krays, Dixons and Nashes on the north side and the Richardsons Frank Fraser and Freddy Foreman onn the South
He didn't look back on his Homeland when he left for New York, as he's an Irishman. We'll done on a just revenge well served out but Elephants never forget so they say.
@@YoreHistory Neat stuff. I found myself wondering if some of the 'gang' photos had LLM hand warping or if those dudes just all had busted knuckles. Both fit well enough that I couldn't decide.
@Merble if you give me a timestamp I can tell you if it's actual vs AI. It's getting better by the week. My daughter is an artist so I try to stick to photo or cinematic pics vs illustrations but that's just me.
@@YoreHistory The one at 19:50 and 22:50 is what initially piqued my curiosity. They all look like they punch brick walls for fun, going on the visible knuckles, but the image itself looks very... modern film or something in terms of setup.
Most countries had revolution, because of disparity of poor and wealthy! England avoided it by shipping poor to colonies and off to soldier, about the Empire!😅
I do hope that people around the world do realise that when Charles got crowned they moved the homeless people, (disgusting) 350,000 children are homeless in the UK today. Queen Victoria was living it up like the royals today, and poverty was rife
The Victorian era minded gangster still exists while he is constant determined to prove that he was not ever overprotected during his upbringing before he had become a military minded with weapon sometimes concealed company man too. A weapon NOT designed not for responsible harvesting and respectful giving thanks to god while preparing all which has been harvested too after another meeting in a booth on how best to proceed with the harvest. Gangsters will never approve of any booth no matter how small unless it is theirs to re-name in their own language.

My great-grandmother's family on my mother's side were Irish immigrants to London. I hope to duck they didn't have to go through this crap. On the other side of my family, my grandparents migrated to Australia in the 1950s as what we call "10 pound Poms*". My grandfather was an experienced and fully qualified plumber and they spent a year or so in a migrant camp (a former wartime army base) while they waited for their brick-and-tile house to be finished. That housing scheme was rent-to-buy and they paid it off and lived in it until my grandmother was too lonely there after my grandfather's death and bought herself a nice semi-detached. * Poms = British
I have done a lot of research on the Monkey Parade gang, many bobbies on the beat thought they had something to do with the Whitechapel murders. Ps I really like the inclusion of old sitcom characters/actors names. But I think Ronnie Barker should have been Norman Fletcher.

It is a blend of real Victorian era photographs (creative commons so not sure) and AI generated ones. Roughly 50/50...using AI only when I couldn't get a proper scene/character.
@@YoreHistory Thanks!
Some are clearly Generate Ai☹️
Jt wwas like this for the poor in most cities:new york Liverpool or Paris many of the people born there managed to survive two world wars they says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
The elephant and castle gang and the Lambeth boys operated South of the Thames the monkeys and the Whitechapel gans were in the east end on the north side. This was still going on in the 1960s with the Krays, Dixons and Nashes on the north side and the Richardsons Frank Fraser and Freddy Foreman onn the South
these videos will have millions o' views
Cheers and thanks for watching!
Bazil faulty? fawlty towers?
They are from british tv shows. I grew up with them and was just my way of paying homage.
Basil Faultless ? The optimistically successful ancestor of a Torquay hotel manager once described by his wife as a “Brilliantine stick insect”
LOL...one of my favourite shows of all time...a bit of homage :D
He didn't look back on his Homeland when he left for New York, as he's an Irishman. We'll done on a just revenge well served out but Elephants never forget so they say.
We shall see what happens in New York :) thanks for watching!
But remember life still has not changed even now for the poor same thing nothing changes
Such a shame😢😢😢😢
Are these photos AI adjustments or what? I can't figure out where bro found all these period-appropriate images with such interesting composition.
It is a combination of actual Victorian era photographs and AI altered photographs to fit certain scenes.
@@YoreHistory Neat stuff. I found myself wondering if some of the 'gang' photos had LLM hand warping or if those dudes just all had busted knuckles. Both fit well enough that I couldn't decide.
@Merble if you give me a timestamp I can tell you if it's actual vs AI. It's getting better by the week. My daughter is an artist so I try to stick to photo or cinematic pics vs illustrations but that's just me.
@@YoreHistory The one at 19:50 and 22:50 is what initially piqued my curiosity. They all look like they punch brick walls for fun, going on the visible knuckles, but the image itself looks very... modern film or something in terms of setup.
Most countries had revolution, because of disparity of poor and wealthy! England avoided it by shipping poor to colonies and off to soldier, about the Empire!😅
Bravo! 👏 ❤
Basil Fawlty , Ronnie Barker Ronnie Corbett ….busted…😂. still fella very well put together fella well done
Wow. I hope those guys made a good life for themselves when they got here.
Awesome story
Wow. Great narration and visual clips. The voice, is soothing yet educating. 😅 yikes
If that makes sense? Thank u for the video.
Cheers and thanks for watching!
This could make a good movie.
I do hope that people around the world do realise that when Charles got crowned they moved the homeless people, (disgusting) 350,000 children are homeless in the UK today. Queen Victoria was living it up like the royals today, and poverty was rife
an exciting story, like a more real version of oliver twist.
The Victorian era minded gangster still exists while he is constant determined to prove that he was not ever overprotected during his upbringing before he had become a military minded with weapon sometimes concealed company man too. A weapon NOT designed not for responsible harvesting and respectful giving thanks to god while preparing all which has been harvested too after another meeting in a booth on how best to proceed with the harvest. Gangsters will never approve of any booth no matter how small unless it is theirs to re-name in their own language.
Corbett and barker went on to be 2 of the best comedians in the country
Haha indeed :D
victorian prison time? we still have them in use. ive been lol modern day peaky blinder as im from birmingham. love your channel. im broke so a like and a share is all i got
The stealing of clothes from a wash line was called snowflaking.
Indeed
I'm from Elephant and Castle, born and bred. Used to go up West End "dipping" when I was a chavvie (youngster) funny how the slang is mostly the same.
Boo to the super disruptive ads

@@Crossword131 /wave. I don't do this for charity. I am trying to earn something for the 50 to 80 hours a video takes. If that is an issue for you...gbye.
Unfortunately he and his family had booked on the maiden voyage of the Titanic! 🤣
LOL.
This could be a movie
My great-grandmother's family on my mother's side were Irish immigrants to London. I hope to duck they didn't have to go through this crap.
On the other side of my family, my grandparents migrated to Australia in the 1950s as what we call "10 pound Poms*". My grandfather was an experienced and fully qualified plumber and they spent a year or so in a migrant camp (a former wartime army base) while they waited for their brick-and-tile house to be finished. That housing scheme was rent-to-buy and they paid it off and lived in it until my grandmother was too lonely there after my grandfather's death and bought herself a nice semi-detached.
* Poms = British
💀🥀✨️..BRAVO !!..,Home ov my ancestors/my People.., (McCarthy, O'Donell ..🙏✨️)
I have done a lot of research on the Monkey Parade gang, many bobbies on the beat thought they had something to do with the Whitechapel murders. Ps I really like the inclusion of old sitcom characters/actors names. But I think Ronnie Barker should have been Norman Fletcher.
