which village is this ?would be good to know ,i know finchgingfield essex was filmed in the 1940s,,fascinating to see village life in that period thank you for putting it on youtube x
Mostly Lavenham but also Kersey in Suffolk. Still looks exactly like that. Only difference is now it’s full of rich folk. Doesn’t get too touristy even in summer
Those villages are still there in England. But Christian village life is gone. Also, one thing I realise, even this is black and white video, the weather looks more sunny than today.
I live in this area and have done all my life, it's only really significantly changed in tje last ten years, has been sharp decline since covid. Now all the new types are taking over
British people in the British countryside, beautiful...
Simple but beautiful
Is would gladly give up my current way of life with all the modern conveniences and technology to live this type of village life back in the day!
Different times definitely...Finchingfield been to. village pond there and two pubs there..
How nice
Great people doing great things , when they were still of use to the elite.
Sadly today, our farming community that I am a part of are decimated by the supermarkets control of pricing and purchasing.
Halcyon days gone forever

I remember it being packed full of tourists when I was younger 🤔
The splendid church is Lavenham, as is the Angel Hotel.
North European folk in the north European countryside - beautiful.
Its always good to see north europeans not at war with each other

They may have chosen sunny days to film - not exactly a carefully random weather sample!
