I (Australian) walked into an 18th century pub in Chester one November and there was a chap sitting in a winged-back chair by an open fire, reading a newspaper, with a pint glass next to him and I thought "now, this is England!"
It used to be
Glad you experienced a real pub, all the best from the U.K.
Interesting Alan.Which pub was that? I'm from Chester so I'm sure to have been in it😄
@@paulmclaughlin395 I think it was called the Kings Head. It's supposed to be haunted, but I think that is probably guff for the tourists

I am just about old enough to remember when the local pub was like this.
Me too. I can actually remember the outrage when a pint went up to...50p.
My first pint of Bitter cost me 2/7d (13p)
My 1st pint was from a home brewing kit in 1973 and we had to strain it through an old sock

what about 5:41? :)
I'd happily have a jar in each of those. I've been to a number of the pubs in St Albans in the late 80s and early 90s so I hope it included Ye Olde Fighting Cocks. I have paid a number of visits in fairly equal amounts to the Cock and the Bull,the two former coaching inns nearly next to each other on one side of the main drag in Stony Stratford frequented by travellers of centuries past that led to the famous expression.
In the U.S. kids are not allowed in until they are 21 years old. This is one of the best things I’ve seen today!

Here in Western Australia, we have a typical concrete building with a fake front on it to look like a pub.
Guess it's to keep the poms / limey happy
Your mistaken. Its a plastic pub to keep you Aussies happy😅 My local is just great, full of locals of all ages, its an old boozer with great views over the North Pennines and Cumbrian mountains. And best of all great ale.
In England they have have 3 kids with 5 different colours by the time they are 18. Americans are over-cossetted..
I live in Penshurst England and recognise many of these pubs as local to me. I saw the Chequers in Tonbridge High Street , The Rose & Crown Tonbridge and the Castle at Chiddenstone. I bet the producer was local to Tunbridge Wells area….Nic

@@tubecated_development True. Plus cans of beer from the supermarket are a whole lot cheaper.

I long for proper pubs, with cigarette smoke, real beer, and no screaming kids.
Men only bars. Those were the days!
Don't forget the sandwiches and pork pies in the glass cabinet on the bar and peanuts in a bowl, before the hygiene police took over

So lucky to have The Blue Anchor in Helston Cornwall as my local, one of the last original home brew pubs left. No fruit machines, muzak, a bastion against modernity and long may it be so. The beer, Spingo, is just superb if a little wobbly!
What's a fruit machine?
Walked into Helston from Porthleven last year , had a couple of Spingos in the back yard be popping in May bank Holiday hopefully 🍻👍
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn where you put coins in and gamble
Fruit machines (the old ones) are part of the history of pubs.
My mate had several pints of spingo. The police pulled him out of the water that runs past the pub, apparently he was swimming home.
Oh happy days, many years ago I restored a floor in the house next door to the London Apprentice, there was a Picasso on the wall! My mothers family owned the Black Horse pub in Richmond, a wonderful, very big pub, where I had my first Saturday job buttering bread! Cheers everyone
I went out to pubs in Richmond,including one by the Thames,with my best friend from school and his Dad one weekend around our 18th birthdays (he's 3 days younger than me),while on one of my sleepovers at his house,so I may have paid that pub a visit though it's long ago now.

The whole notion is utter utter bollocks, just read Victorian accounts of living in London, life was extremely hard and thankless for the majority of people.
Unfortunately we have allowed those who despise anyone having a good time to reduce our enjoyment.
agreed
Great video and pleased to discover some of these pubs still exist.
Where I live most good pubs are surviving and many are doing well. These are the ones which provide a good atmosphere to escape to plus good quality beer.
Which area is that?
Unfortunately I live in Germany. Uncomfortable "pubs", and horrible beer. A really sad place.
Whenever I return, I try and get to a decent pub and get a few ales down my neck. You can't beat it.
Depends on whole family abiliy to pay the cost of an enening. Anythins else is different to the old spirit - a comercial venture only.

@dandare1001
Yeah, Germany might do beer gardens well, especially in Bavaria but generally their 'pubs' are mediocre.
Having to sit outside the pub with a Pepsi with a Paper straw and if Lucky a Pack of salt n shake lol
We was lucky to get a bag of crisps back then. Nowadays you can get a family monster bag for a quid.
Haha, yes, and if you were lucky the straw wouldn't become soggy and stuck together before you finished your drink.
The aroma from those old pubs was something you don't read much about. The hoppy ales, the jet black stouts, nut brown ales, light ales, milds, and for the ladies Babycham, cherry brandy and apricot wine, or for my mum a Mackeson, sometimes half and half with milk.
Those lovely beverages produced a sweet smell that told travellers from a way down the lane that a pub was nearly at hand. The aroma of beer and spirits would be mixed with delicious blends of Virginia leaves, carefully mixed tobaccos with spices and a bit of rum or whisky to create things like Condor and St Bruno. The relaxing feeling at the end of a day's labour was glorious. You don't get that sense of well-being any more, without it being tinged with irritation or frustration.
You'd sit down with your first delicious pint and sup half in no time, then light up your pipe and puff away, the blissful sense of well-being pervading every part of you. Nobody can know the sensation of that pipe tobacco relaxing your whole body unless you've tried it.
Summers were best, sat outside the front watching the world go by, not troubled by urgencies like getting home for a life-changing reality telly programme or to shop online for things from China that you don't need.
Nobody had a new kitchen fitted, let alone simply because the old one was out of fashion. We didn't bother about things that weren't necessary.
Anyway, a few nice pints later you would clamber on your bike and cycle home, full of good humour and chuckling at the silly chats you'd just enjoyed with other locals or a traveller.
We didn't know how rich we were. We wouldn't have believed anyone telling us how brutally it all would change, that the fields we surveyed would all be vile housing estates for an infinite supply of overweight people, the sound of motorways roaring 24 hours a day, the urgency and demand of everything sapping our souls. I don't want 10,000 channels of American chewing gum television and 'movies' (ie films) or infinite information on hand that will make me not one jot happier. I don't want people disturbing me on a gadget at any time of the day or night. I just want to relax and take my time over a nice pint, listening to the blackbirds and the sparrows. I want to get home and hear the foxes in the spinney, or the squirrels squawking and shouting, or the owls hooting. This modern world has very little to compensate those who just want to be back in easier times, when money wasn't your god and rushing was an alien concept. Modern life is a plastic throwaway replacement for solid oak, and life will never be as lovely as it was back then.
I live in urban South London...I can hear blackbirds and sparrows in my garden...As for squirrels and foxes, we have an overabundance of those..My neighbourhood is surrounded by three parks two of which are nature reserves full of migrating birds and water fowl...
That nice Mr Kahn has made my street, previously a rat run into a low traffic neighbourhood. Many more people walking and cycling, hopefully helping to deal with "overweight people" without berating them. ...
@@zivkovicable Hopefully the council has also found a way to encourage local street corner pubs to stay in business or even open up, given that they are a wonderful British social hub. Tax breaks and all-day opening would be so helpful.
Lovely local beers and tasty international grub to suit all ethnicities and tastes. I'm really glad to hear that you are able to enjoy thriving inner city nature and a peaceful countryside environment. The blackbirds this time of year are, to me, the most beautiful sound in the world.
Nostalgia ruins your common sense. This is exactly the kind of sentimental tosh that induced Brexit. You need to come to terms with a simple, and obvious, fact: things change; they always have and always will. You should try and get to grips that and live in the present. I find your condescending remark about overweight people offensive. I could try one about the stench of pipe smoke in shared spaces. (Your chances of surviving lung cancer are significantly greater now than they would have been in the 1949s: but I suspect you are nevertheless nostalgic for the good old days before the NHS?).
The smell of pledge from the cleaner just as you arrive combining with a lingering smell of last nights beer and cigarettes- favourite smell in the world.

It would be interesting to compare wages and the cost of a pint then, to now.
I rarely go to the pub now because it's so expensive.
Average weekly industrial wage in 1940 was around £4 15s
Average cost of a Pint of ale was 5d, and of a Pint of milk, 3d - while that of a loaf was around 4½d.
So, in 1940, and assuming a 40 hour working week, you could (very roughly) get 5 or 6 pints of beer for an hour's work. Sadly, pub Beer - like Fish and Chips - is nowadays out of reach of the kind of people who at least could once afford it, if not anything more luxurious!
Just think: back in 1960, you could get a piece of cod and eightpenno'rth of chips for 1/6d (8p in today's Mickey Mouse currency). Now look at it: such is the 'cost' of Inflation!
@@marvinc9994 You mean 18p. A shilling was 12p (i.e. 2 x 6d).
It's deliberate they don't want people socialising and realising others are just a sick of how we are being treated. In less than 20 years there will be very few pubs and clubs left. 🇬🇧

You cannot even recognise the difference between an American flag and UK flag so why should I listen to you. 🇬🇧
Our traditional beer culture is now being destroyed by Foster's ( brewed in UK) and Moretti drinkers with their brains in their stomachs. I love a pint of mild when I can get it.
A pint of mild now there's a blast from the past last one I had was from Oldham breweries long gone now.
Dont forget that the government itself has been forcing the closure of thousands of pubs over the last couple of decades.
@@lablackzed Had a very decent mild when I visited a cousin of mine in St Albans last year.
Our beer culture is all American IPA in cans from the supermarkets. Internet and consumerism took the customers…
Plenty of local ales in old country pubs. Just stay away from city pubs for the most part.
My local country pub, which isn't that far south of London, serves local Surrey Hills brewery draught ales.
If you look around, these Inns are still there, albeit much less in numbers. Rural areas are your best bet these days.
Absolutely fascinating! Loved it and miss the England of yesteryear.
Fascinating film thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
My grandparents ran pub for 35 years
After he came out the army veteran from the first she lost his sight in one eye Royal horse artillery Valley he spent five years in India without his family after the army, he ran apart they left 1958 when baby I would crawl and sip the empty bottles remember the smell of the style beer they would be so dust on the floor of the pub
God bless them all . . . the long, the short and the tall.
Funny - people in the comments saying how wonderful pubs were, why did you stop going to the pub then? I did a stint as a pub landlord in the 90s and saw the decline first hand. Lots of pubs have closed recently but this is not a new trend - it started in the 90s and hasn't stopped since. Unless you can count yourself as a regular, ie you went to your pub most days of the week - you are the reason pubs have gone. Don't pretend its only recently you stopped drinking in the pub, bet most people can't remember the last time they popped out for a swift half - bet it was circa 1982. Our local, the last one in our village closed last year - everyone says what a shame, yet we would sit in it of an evening and would be lucky if more than 4 people came in, if that. We ran a number of campaigns to encourage people to come down - nothing. People here saying I miss the old days, are happy to sit at home watching Sky and Netflix, shop at the out of town supermarket, drive instead of walk - the problem is nobody thinks they are the problem. You sat back and let it happen and then moan about it when its gone -
🤫🤐shhhh. Don’t tell truths.
Probably because the government banned smoking and slowly added tax upon tax until we are where we are now at £6 - £7 per pint 🍺 ( in the provincial south for sure)
@@NigelHyphenJones Do you also have any idea much more it costs to make beer now that rent, energy and ingredients are so costly?
In 1984 a pint of beer around my way was around 72p
In 2024 a pint of beer around my way is around £4
Exactly in line with the inflation calculator.
£2.40 a pint of bitter in Liverpool and unlike the South people will give you the steam of their piss 😂
quite right. the complaints about our country being flooded with foreigners who hate us are valid, but the biggest problem is the degeneration of the english people ourselves. we ourselves have no regard for what we've lost, so why would any foreigner care to "assimilate" into our mess?
There are still some places that look as idyllic as this, but they are rare. We've just moved to Dorset, there a few of these dotted about. Any pubs in and around London , are gone, if they are open at all.
Its' still like this around these parts (nw Hants).
I live just 15 miles south of Central London. The 400 year old Well House Inn not far from me is like this, and still going. Plenty of old pubs around London still. Even in the middle of London.
The London Apprentice brought back memories. My first wife shared a house a few doors up the road. Before the Thames Barrier they were flooded out, badly, Fem ‘76 or ‘77. We’d sit by the slipway watching the planes descending to Heathrow. My guess is they view 4:44 on the film) is unchanged.

It is still beautiful. As an English person who has spent much of her life living overseas I still get an enormous thrill when I return home. And finding a quiet little pub is one thing I look forward to! I hope there are a few tucked away that haven't been 'renovated'.
In Spain the bars and licensed cafes are frequented by families , kids very welcome , lovely atmosphere and well behaved. In restaurants kids eat the same as the adults but smaller portions, in school the teachers sit at the same tables as the kids. The family is important, at least this is what it was like when I lived there 20 years ago. Now , I don,t know.
It hasn't changed. I live in Valencia now and it is just the same. And a glass of wine is a Pound (equivalent).

It became US consumerist hellscape. Suburban sprawl, more cars than people, retail parks, Netflix, Mc Donald’s, Subway, Pizza Hut, Dominos, 24hr services, Krispy Kreme, more flavours of chewing gum than British beers. Everyone online all of the time on about 10 different entertainment subscription payment plans.
Where is the pub in all this? Gone. The rot began with VHS and drink driving bans because Brits hate walking and just like their U.S. cousins they love to live in a bubble and consume sugar and fat all day and night watching screens on devices.

It is a great shame that so many pubs are closing. But, looking on the bright side, there are more and more community pubs opening and they tend to be very good. They are treasured by locals. I have had the best quality beer in community pubs in Suffolk. Also, generally, the quality and variety of beer is far better than it was in 1980 when I started visiting pubs (50 pence a pint!).

Never see this lifestyle ever again good or bad , but it’s all gone to this midst of time 😢
The main character in George Orwell's Coming Up for Air which was written in 1938 sees England as a nightmare of change and modernity. He realises that the "good old days" of his youth are long gone.
If pubs were like they used to be I’d probably be at one tonight.

Yes bring back the old pubs
Cheap supermarket beer and a shift to staying in for tv, films, social media and takeaways are destroying pubs. Real social interaction (rather than virtual) is being lost.
We’ll be very sorry when we’ve lost them. Still, at least someone in the City of London or Silicon Valley will have got rich so that’s ok 🤔
I mourn the loss of my beautiful country and it's peoples. Gone forever
And the only food you could purchase, was a dodgy pie from a warming cabinet on the bar. Oh and not forgetting the jar of pickled eggs 😅
I could go out on a night with a ' ten bob note ' or 50 pence, buy 4 pints, have fish and chips on the way home and still have some change.
They won’t buy you a bag of crisps now. England is finished.

It’s just beak nowadays, innit
So many pubs are now Tescos or Co-op mini-markets. So many more have just been demolished.
However, the Dronfield Arms in Dronfield, Derbyshire bucks the trend and even has its own brewery!
Let's keep this original social network going. Use it or lose it.
Anyway, nearly time for a pint. Love and peace.
I have one of the famous four, last brew pubs, as my local. The All Nations in Madeley. Still serving great beer and conversation. One of the main reasons i moved here.
how did they get film of the middle ages ? amazing
They went to any of th islamist areas that really are the dark ages and speeded the film up a bit
It's a reenactment 😂😂😂😂
Eeeh i remember when i wer tuppence a gallon and free use oft barn to sleep it off.........
Haha
You must even even older than me!
R.I.P.
Paid £6.90 for a pint last week in a decent town pub. At that price, I can't see pub culture lasting long. Something to also I have seen is that there are not as many young people drinking these days and the pubs are empty in comparison to 15 years ago. Tastes change I guess
That’s the only pub I’ve seen in years
Where nobody come out the toilet
Without any columbian under their nose
yes we certainly have progressed with the marching powder
After watching this film, can someone please explain to me why these days we are stronger through our diversity.
The film romanticises a grim period of British life. Poverty, ill health, rotting teeth, the weekly bath, a rigid class structure, general ignorance, a school-leaving age of 14, poor food, and so on. If you’re nostalgic for the 1940s because all you saw was other white people, good luck to you mate. You’re clearly a racist - you would be at home in 1940.
We're not
Just for a moment i was back where i used to live, down my old local, the White Hart in Frimley, asking for a pint of Watneys Special (in a straight glass)
Can't believe how bad pubs are now, with their watered down beer, and crap food, and even crappier atmosphere, compered to just 30-40 years ago
The new generation have no idea what pubs once were...even just the feeling you'd get in the first 2 seconds as you entered and were hit by a barrage of familiar smells...and you instantly attuned to the atmosphere of the room.
Fascinating old black and white film with the typical toffee-nosed English narrator. Great old pub signs with pub names I never heard of.
What's toffee-nosed about him? His narration is not in the least condescending.
Plonker...
May be toffee , but you can hear every word
@@stephenrice4554 And it's a pleasure to listen to.
What’s wrong with good diction and pronunciation? It’s easy to understand and so much nicer to listen to than the modern mumbling.
When we had community
Now we have ??????
I’ll get banned again
If I tell the truth. AGAIN 😂
🤡 It’s just capitalism/consumerism doing its thing. Make it easy and addictive for people and they will go there. Internet, car, supermarket, fast food. Done. This is life forever now. Enjoy your 51st State cardboard suburban retail park -life- existence where you drive everywhere and order cheap crap from t’Internet while moaning about in antisocial media using the device permanently glued to your eyes.
🏴💸
@@Powerneck enjoy your retail park experience. Enjoy consumerism. Enjoy your streaming content, enjoy your moaning on antisocial media. To make you feel better about it, simply use antisocial media to complain far and wide about people who do other things such as cyclists and walkers and bird watchers and religious people.
But most of all, enjoy your retail experience.
You have...chickens coming home to roost. Just saying...
@@luciatheron1621 lol
