I wonder what percentage of the people in this video moved to Essex.
To keep their children safe. It’s not safe for young people around there. Believe me I took both my sons out of the danger zone !
@@scarlettohara4702 really? Were you going to get mugged by Islamic fundamentalists?
@@nihilistcentraluk442 i was 3 in north London posh area 😁
South East Londoners went into Kent. West/South Londoners went into Surrey and Berkshire. North Londoners to Bedfordshire and East Londoners went into Essex.

When England was still just about England. The change has been unprecedented
I don't think we should 'romanticize' the 70's (and indeed 80's) too much - let's be honest here....both were pretty bleak periods in recent history.
Large parts of the East End still had derelict, bombed land that had been untouched since WW2. This was the case even as late as 1986.
But seeing as this film is about the east end in the 70's, I'll leave aside the 80's.
Sure there was a strong sense of community back then - but there was no prosperity..... practically everyone was poor. They may have been happy, but they were still poor. I'm not stigmatising the aspect of being poor, just merely stating that this was the case.
There was no investment in the east end at all.....and indeed not for quite a lot longer after the year this film was made. The area generally had poor transport links, and was effectively a 'no go' area for many Londoners.
So bearing all this in mind, we should perhaps be abit less teary when looking at films of London from this period. Especially areas of London like this. The 1970's weren't the good times despite that 'Chic' song - they were barren times.
The East End was already dead by the time this film was made. Its heyday was pre WW2. Look at this film again - where is everyone?? ...it looks like a ghost town.... because that's what it was back then.
East end still recovering from WW2 even in the 70s!
Ah the early days of the Great Replacement ♥️♥️
Whitechapel is an absolute shithole, couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Not really it still looked quite white back then, the whites still had control if they had wanted it, it was a time when being a minority was challenging and a lot of immigrants had to keep their heads down and try not to complain, at least today all that has changed
If only we could go back to the good old days of Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter 😢
@@southlondon86Jimmy Savile the pedo, I hope that’s sarcastic.
@@southlondon86just wait till you find out about the happenings in rochdale😂
Back in the days when we still had vibrant street markets like brick Lane today its soulless and full of shops selling over priced crap.
Anything else different, lol
It was actually still a good place to live when this was filmed. I know because I lived there. I only moved out when my sons couldn’t walk down there own streets without getting called out for fights with the ‘new’ locals .
How old are you now Scarlett?
Still a great place to live now. Love it.
Yeah my dad told me the same. His parents got out of hackney in the 80s. It's happening everywhere now . The middle and upper class didn't give a toss when it was working class people. Unfortunately it's coming to everyone's front door now.
Wouldn't have been nice for the asians facing racial attacks every day tho
@@mainaccount7585 Sure don't they own it now. I suppose a conquering people always take some damage from a people who are having their lands stolen historicaly. Fuck the conservatives who let this happen.
Well It’s not very diverse anymore.
have you been there? it is the most diverse place in london, go on sunday, you will find every nationality, you can think of.
English people have been moved out.
Angry jock - no, in brick lane most of the Asians have made way for hipster coffee shops, bars and gourmet food, mainly served by white looking folk.
@@boshirmh007 its mostly indian/islamic tho they are the majority so that not diverse it should be equal amounts of each nationality
@@boshirmh007 Only on Sunday, though 🤣
I wish someone would upload footage of Rathbone Market in Canning Town from the 70s here on TH-cam.
There is romford market and I live there today as well but it also one here
And the old seaman's mission opposite.
The beginning of the end.
Ww2 was the beginning of the end.
Watney’s red barrel! Takes me back, though I myself was more of a Whitbread’s tankard man.

How absorbing and informative. We make hires gopro walks of contemporary London on youtube (no ads just to show how London is now) so it's great for us to see the comparison. London is still pretty spectacular. Thank you for adding it, we've subscribed.
Hahaha the buildings 1:39 -1:46 I been living there since 77 when I was 2 years old. Used to be a real slum, now it's a very smart estate. Great neighbours, fab shops, markets clubs and pubs nearby, amenities and transport. This is London Town all ye haters!
All that is a result of conservative governments
Back in 1974 my uncle reg has a weeks worth of thick toilet waste accidentally dropped on his head as he walked past number 34
@@greenbunnyinabongo7299 Shit happens!
That was the start of it.u know what I mean.
We sometimes used to stop off at The Clifton Restaurant (1.20 in) in Brick Lane after working down the lane on Sunday mornings in the 70s. This was before the street was all curry houses.
You don't like curry? Or change?
Really curry only? No chicken tikka masala round your way?😁

Wow it’s the knowledge boys on there Honda c90. 😊 @ 1:00
It's not that there is an issue with immigrants. Immigration ought to be a good thing. There was a politicised management of immigration, and that was the problem. I was about 3 years old living with my mother in a bedsit. She (we) were kicked out by the council because they argued the block was to be pulled down. It wasn't. It's still standing today, and always full.
My mother wasn't given another place to live. And there were others like her. Each vacated (by force) and were replaced by poor immigrants. This was not uncommon.
That was the catalyst that bred local resentment, and understandably so.
Much the same with European immigration and now Afgan refugees. But they've all been given the red carpet. Whilst those in the 70s suffered terribly. Despite this they worked hard and its paid off.
Hello greatest decade love to se knowledge boys on there C90s used to sell and sevice them.in shop.I worked at in Wimbledon which I eventually bought out but thsts another story well done whoever posted this film
I grew up in Whitechapel during the 60s/70s and all my friends were either black/asian/turkish/chinese/african and white cockneys. It was great because we were exposed to each others cultures and that helps to stop the wrong ideas we get about each other. The problem starts when a school becomes all white or all black/asian with no intergration and sadly this has happened to some extent. I like to see a mix of people on the streets and in the markets. Gentrification is the final nail in the coffin. People have more in common than you think but they must get together to find out that they do. Blaming each other wont help. Change came too fast and we have all been swept along with it. London has always been a melting pot. I doubt if there is a single Cockney who doesnt have immigrant ancestry. Mine are a mix of German, French Portugese, Irish and English.
German,French,Portuguese,Irish and English maybe but all those immigrants didn't receive free benefits,free housing,free schooling and free healthcare at the taxpayers expense did they? No because when those immigrants came over they had to work bloody big difference that you seem not to have noted
Segregation and divisions and racism is not big in London the racism and segregation is in other UK cities like Birmingham Manchester Liverpool and Leeds.
What kind of Portuguese heritage you have, if I may ask
If it was so great why did all the white get the fuck out of there ?
Well said vintagebrew
0.01 The remains of the Victorian east end?
Fantastic footage good job
Diversity is not a strength.
not a weakness or strenth, a fact of life. you cannot isolate yourself in something as artificial as 'nationality' for long
Britian shouldn't have taken over a diverse group of the world's nation's then hey
Be an inbred than
Those cars.....
Those parking spaces.......
Those empty roads........
Diverse culture doesn't work. London in 60 & 70s was a solid community supported by family networks & neighbor's too. No need to lock your door. Now full of beggars & all minorities due to mass immigration. Economically we cant cope & socially there is a community erosion. Citizens of the uk are pushed onto the margins as immigrants get houses & benefits meant for the people here. Racism is rife and increasingly the far right rises in reaction to these factors & the anti British stance taken by immigrants in response to our UK laws & customs.
Christ, someone else dares speak the truth. To be honest, the only real racism in this country is towards the indigenous people of England as none of these "diverse" lot wanted us (or the Scots, Welsh, or Irish) in their lands.
@@johnbuckley6051 Very true.!! There is no such principal as " freedom of speech" in the U.K. when the topic of immigration is raised. Immediate chants of "racist" whatever one states." !!
It's not unreasonable to suggest that excessive immigration can cause problems, but let's not pretend London was a safe haven prior to Windrush/Asian immigrants in the 50s-70s. London, particularly the East End, has ALWAYS been a place of crime dating way back. You'd have been a fool in the 1930s to leave your door unlocked just as you would now.
@@ER-ec4uq Totally agree but much more community cohesion & sense of community despite the problems that you correctly state. Now there's as sense of fear & insecurity coupled with the influx of mass U.K immigration.
@Jim Hope definitely agree a community was a community then a real sense of belonging. Now the ethnic minorities are creating a new world of crime not seen before in UK. Unless we pull up the borders more racial mayhem and conflict will arise. You can see this already happening in cities around the country & especially in London.
The beginning of the End....
Exactly! Take us back to those good old days of Jimmy Savile & Gary Glitter! 😢
Imagine saying this at a video of mothers holding their babies and innocent kids playing 🤮 fix your life
The beginning of the end was 1948 , the passing of the British Nationality Act & the arrival of Windrush
@Christopher Christos But England was perfect back in the Myra Hindley days though. These damn foreigners ruined it all.
@Christopher Christos Sir look up sarcasm.
Beautiful
We want our country back
No sound
Yes annoying...I just read this is confirmed in the description
the real east end how i remember it
Times change dude
Well it's still East end its not like it's a fake now is it
best decade ever
The NF was popular back then 🙄
@@WaveyDeem95 sadly they were
@@adriansymcox1641 why sadly? Back then they should of sent the message more clearly and appropriately, instead of resorting to neo nazi ideologies, which they were preaching on the streets back then
@@WaveyDeem95And George Davis.....who was innocent
@@adriansymcox1641 They were just fringe nutters who marched down the high street doing Nazi salutes back then. Righty headbangers have gone mainstream these days. Though they still only get about 10% support.
1:06 Bethnal Green road ... I grow up near that place 😭 miss the place..
You're not missing much
Grew up.
The sights of my youth. A shithole, but my shithole. The smells though: the crates of tea at East India Dock, the tang of fish and chips smothered in vinegar, the spicy smell of the Bengali shops. We lived over (literally) Rotherhithe Tunnel in Burrell House on Spert St. Don't look for it - it's not there anymore because Canary Wharf needed an access road.
So glad it's captured for posterity though.
Edit: on rewatching I realised that Fredo's was my mate's Dad's cafe on Commercial Road unless I'm mistaken. I remember he had a massive comic collection in the basement.
Yes, not the best place to live. As a kid growing up in Manor Park in the 70s, all I wanted was to get away. And I did. No disrespect to the people there, though
80s not 70s.
Diversity is our strength
Diversity is not a good thing just look at London these days
@Houston's mccaine Well obviously people want to live among their own, its only natural, integration is possible only if there is a very small number of people to integrate
@Houston's mccaine Like the white Brits in spain, that go there to turn brown!!
That's the same all over the UK diversity is s issue and causes divisions and tension and racism too, outside of London is where the real racism lies in other UK cities and towns .
More brainless inbred waffle
They should have asked the ordinary people did they want multi culturaism and not let the rich decide,
Don't blame the people that come here, blame the powers that be. Do you think it's so easy to invade a foreign country to build your empire? Of course you're going to allow foreigners to come here to seem democratic. And don't you dare blame the ordinary folk that gave their lives in the war. Again, blame the powers that be. If it wasn't for them spewing this heroic, patriotic bullshit, many soldiers wouldn't fight someone else's dirty war, they would still be alive today.
@@sudgur990 Take that chip off your shoulder and stop twisting what people say, you're the type who'll hate on whites I know what you're lot are like
@@liam.4454 The east end has been home to immigrants for 300+ years, not sure why it's different now just because they are brown immigrants.
@Liam III Yes to your comment - but I don't believe the "ordinary people" of Britain were being consulted about much at all regarding their country's future in the 1970s. There was no inclusive and democratic blueprint for society to get behind. The old adage of "follow the money" always has merit. There will be many individuals and organisations who became quickly wealthy, or grew their wealth substantially, on the back of cheaply paid immigrant workers. These histories of wealth generation are not told nearly enough. Very often the business practices of the time were opaque, and involved fraud, nepotism, insider trading, moving funds offshore - and all the available rorts to make and keep more money!!
Let me understand how UK is financing a Proxy war against Russia, using Ukraine territory and Ukraine citzens...
And then, why so many countries in Europe are accepting Ukrainians citzens on their territory, but UK not...
London isn't the problem nowadays it's other UK cities like Birmingham, Manchester Liverpool,Leeds are highly segregated and racist and people don't integrate or live in racial harmony .
Londonistan has fallen
You win the Plonker of the Day award for yesterday. Sorry for the delay in letting you know.
pick it up then. oh wait you can't
Hardly see a white man in the east end these days
Must be walking around with your eyes closed, lived here for 25 years and it gets whiter with every passing year
@Mark Richardson Thanks for those wonderful words of insight, pal. I'd wager good money I'm more educated than you are.
@Mark Richardson What's the highest level of education you've received funny man? Doubt you've even been to university.
@Mark Richardson Alright so you're not an idiot, what was the point of your first comment?
@@MahiTanMazy funny thing is 95 percent of racists and right wingers have pitiful education levels. Seems like that rhetoric speaks exclusively to the deplorable uneducated morons
No disrespect to the people that lived or currently live there but it looks very run down in these images . My mother is half English and came to UK in 1976 after living in South America and USA .She remembers the 70s as a rough time in UK for a lot of people and these images capture a sense of that to a degree
London in the 70s was a fantastic time

Desolation, loneliness, cold damp streets.. :-(
1:05 wow, Nigel was stirring it up all the way back in the 70’s??
Diversity only works in small numbers especially when efforts are made to work hard and integrate. But as we can see today millions in a short space of time from everywhere around depending on us to financially fund it. Well the Diversity is here but the magic of it is lost !
Looks depressing as fuck
it was, when people say it was good, its very hilarious because london was a dump all over
Shame Teddington studios have been bulldozed to the ground.
I live near there. Watched it go on all the way. So sad. I even did a few days work there once in a while. All the greats..... etc etc Nothing to do with E1 though

@@nickworley1000 The 1st nation was just perfect.
Nothings perfects let's look at Sweden as a model for multiculturalism they now have to resort to the Army to try and keep order.
Came to read the anti-immigration comments and was not disappointed. The situation is same here in North Borneo, back in the 60s crime was low and jobs were abundant, cleanliness was unmatched. Can't say the same now with all these added colour to the population. And the British were responsible for this. So you get what you did to other nations.
@Mark Richardson They made us merge with Malaya to form Malaysia. The Malay-Muslim leaders of Malaya dominated our politics and facilitated the immigration of Filipino Muslims & Indonesian Muslims, creating slums and increasing crimes. The Brits knew the Malay-style of politics yet they fed us to the wolves.

I love videos like this. It shows how far the Asian immigrants have come and progressed. Many have moved up is social class and economic wealth since arriving and the next generation is thriving! Unlike the people who moved out of these areas who have shown no social mobility even 2 generations on.

ruined the east end
How????
do you even live there.
Yes...I used to. I lived in Plaistow & we were market traders in Whitechapel's street market & Crisp Street market, Popular from 1985 until 1991. The East End was always a dump. It's the direction of the winds that kept it that way. My question to people is that why did the native population of white English people move out in the first place. They were there for centuries long before any kind of multiculturalism came along. The reason being they left to better themselves & moved out into leafy suburbs in Essex creating a vacuum for immigrants to come in and fill. They left as it was a dump and the closer of the docks. It is very simply to understand. Successive governments allowed immigrants to come as legislation did not bar people from former colonial lands. The British government felt that legislation didn't need to be created as they believed no one would come to Britain to live but they did and their was a labour shortage.
I don't care what anyone says parts of London have been ruined.i was born there so I know.
Yep.But No Name asked you how.
Wow! no hijab or niqab in those days

What does the NF out mean?
It's written by people who didn't see where London was heading.
It’s written by people who wanted to keep the good old days of Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter.
I have been watching these videos to research for a writing project that I am working on, but every time I read the comments, I am disappointed at the abundance of racist comments that in no way hold any truth. It seems like some things never change...
PATHETIC, isn't it? Yet these are the same IDIOTS who get upset when people complain abut racism. these are the very same IDIOTS who will say that you are playing the race card, that you have a complex, that you can;t take a joke, that racism doesn't exist, that they are fed up of hearing about race, etc. Unbelievable.
Exactly, the racism at that time was diabolical. Tv shows like 'love thy neighbour' and alf garnet ; 'till death do us part' normalised it and made it acceptable. It was a shocking time and the comments in this comment section are par for the course
I have just moved from this crap hole I was born and raised in poplar and bow it’s all one sided and corrupt counselors
I wonder exactly how many Islamic preaching mosques actually existed in the Greater London area during the mid-1970s era?
FARAGE'S REFORM 😁
