i love this type of content , it's not like art work ,these people actually existed and for that split second in history did what we can see now , 120 years later
Nicely put. And now I also know the name of this music, which I didn't before, like most people who just know it as the "Our Tune" music from the old Simon Bates programme on Radio 1 donkeys' years ago.
Only 119 years ago but so humbling to watch and to think of the lives of all the people in the video had and had to face in upcoming years with the advent of world war 1 and 2 and realize that they are all long gone now...🌹
@@andydurham-v8e My poor grandmother lived through both world wars. The first as a teenage girl and the second married with six children. She had a very hard life.
Such a beautiful and moving film. Poignant to think of the impending war and how many of these men and boys would either perish or return with physical and emotional damage. How proud everyone appeared. Dressed in their finest! Interesting to see the classes mixing as they enjoy their excursions. Thank you for posting and keeping their memory alive....
None of them new that 124 years later people in the future would be watching them on a hand held device (mobile phone) Amazing footage. God knows what these respectful decent people would think of Britain today. ♥️🗼🇬🇧
@colinevans39 Don't be a prick,mate. It's what the men and women who fought it ,called it. Read your books. .There's more than one meaning to 'Great.!' I can only think a typing error made you think I was being disrespectful
@@williamwood8216You're so wrong - the Working Classes invented the Day Trip. A day out at Blackpool with Dad wearing his best suit and Mam wearing the hat she saved for weddings, christenings and going to Blackpool!😊😊😊🤪
We went there for our holidays during Barnsley feast week for about 15 years. Promenading "on the front" as they called it dodging those trams that rattled and clanged was a favourite pass time.
@@williamwood8216 The mill owners and white collar workers went to Morecambe for two weeks and stayed at the Midland Hotel or the like and the poorer people had a week in a b&b in Blackpool.
The fact that most of the Victorian structures are still there today is amazing ya only have to look up. All them guest houses were for the Victorians 😊
I think they would be so happy to see universal healthcare free at the point of delivery, votes for women, paid annual leave, paid sickness leave, huge leaps forward in workers rights, working class kids at universities. We sometimes forget what we have accomplished.
These people look a bit comical but you had to be very tough just to survive in those days. Any one of them would make mincemeat of today's gangsta twats.

Wonderful to see this and what a beautiful and poignant piece of music to accompany the film. Thank you for posting.

I’d love to walk amongst them, listen them talk and laugh.
Wonderful...everybody looking so splendid,in hats and shirt,ties. We,ve lost all this. Lovely music, sadly we can't go back....if only 😢

I had goosebumps throughout
Awesome. And doesn't it just show how important it was to have a hat that showed off your status in life!
no
@@mrbookish6701 Yes.
Terrific. I can’t help wondering how many of these men and boys did not survive W W 1
So many Mothers cried for those Soldiers who never returned. RIP.
Fantastic footage but also sad as a lot of the young boys in this footage would have been lost in the great war.
True - they could never have imagined that they wouldn't be coming back from 'The War to End All Wars'........what a cruel joke.😢😢😢
I love watching these old films,but I always think the same as you. War for the lads and war work for the young girls.
God bless 'em all I say.❤
I don't think any war could be described as great I could say a lot more but I wont out of respect 😢

@colinevans39 Great War. Not great war.
One of the best generations. Britain will never be the same again. So many ignoring it and forgetting their ancestors.
Not a chav in sight. They loved their promenading back in the day didn't they? Brilliant footage this, thanks for uploading.
Thats just cos only wealthy people could afford to go on holiday

The mill owners and white collar workers went to Morecambe for two weeks and stayed at the Midland Hotel or the like and the poorer people had a week in a b&b in Blackpool.
Such happier times in a way they will never come back 😢
fantastic love it
GREAT Britain
Fantastic video , thank you for sharing 👍💯
As my grandad used to say ,we're all on the convairberbelt off life , just moving along, how true
The heyday of Blackpool as a family resort. Oh, how it has fallen.
Morecambe fell even further but they are trying to bring the place up again.
It's kinda sad there immortalised but all are dead 😢everyone had a hat now nobody's wearing them 😊
It was a good time for hatters and milinaries. Not any more.
When Britain was at it peak. Film the same area now & you'd see just how very far we've declined.
Wonderful. Touching. Music.
Wonderful. Generation.
So. Far. From. The. Madness. Of
Our. Generation............................

Was that the jolly tars performing?
Vislumbra-se a prosperidade - enquanto outros a conheceram recentemente...a corrupção em muitos paises os leva ao atraso....
Smiling everywhere

Gentleman - "Excuse me sir, but I find it odd that you have a box on legs with a hand crank, what the devil is it my man?!
What would they think about the modern world
They would think it's horrific.
Probably the same as we think now. Totally baffled at how we have managed to end up in this state.
I think they would be so happy to see universal healthcare free at the point of delivery, votes for women, paid annual leave, paid sickness leave, huge leaps forward in workers rights, working class kids at universities. We sometimes forget what we have accomplished.
From what I can gather Victoria Pier later became known as South Pier. Anyone else have any further information on this?
No it became North Pier later on, you can tell as Blackpool Tower is to its right at the end.
@@clementwoods7177 - Yes. you're right. Good observation on that one🙂
Cool
Obviously a Mitchell & Kenyon film. The sailors on stage could have been the Jolly Tars. Puctures of that group in Wetherspoons in Clevelys
A nation that was about to be beset by wickedness in many forms by it's 'leaders'. How naive they were.
These people look a bit comical but you had to be very tough just to survive in those days. Any one of them would make mincemeat of today's gangsta twats.
カラー化したのはいいが、赤と青ばかり目立つフィルムだ。
GOOD DAYS.....NOT ONE FUZZY WUZZY IN SITE😂
All dead
As they are now, we soon shall be. A moment on the stage of life and we pass on like a moving tableau.
