THE OLD TIMES SW LONDON

- hi i spend a lot of time making these small films of when the days were a lot different. most of the photos are from old books or old post cards. i love doing this to show you how life was way back then. some people can not buy books or find things to do with local history so this is why i have done this for all of you.
i do not do this to make money in any way, it is just for free so i do hope you all like the small films i do as it takes a long time to do. i did use to live in SW London but now moved to bucks where i find this is much better for me and my family.
all the best --- Jason Blackman. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
My great grandfather was the smithy in Southfield London SW . He owned what is now the park tavern pub in Southfield high street , he was given the contract to care for the horses shoes and foot care, for the horse drawn omnibuses prior to trams being used . My father born in 1902 became the naval guard of honour when King George opened king George’s park in 1923 in Southfields .
It would be nice to be able to read some of the captions, which either don’t fully appear before the photo is changed, or don’t stay on screen long enough to read them! The collection of photos is wonderful however!
As soon as the captions are visible, freeze the picture to allow yourself a longer inspection of the scene
@@Baskerville22🤔 Any idea how I can do this on a mobile phone please?
@@dollybearzz8401 Sorry. . I don't use a mobile phone and have no idea if that's possible. U do know that these photos are not going to look so magnificent 5" x 2.5" on a mobile phone rather than full-screen on your home computer.
@@Baskerville22 Thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated, even though you are not able to help. I don’t have a computer so I can only see TH-cam on my phone, but I’m used to the limitations of viewing on a phone, so I don’t really mind. I’m always hoping to see a photo or two of where my Dad/Grandparents lived, in and around Tooting, Streatham and Hendon, whatever the size of the photo. 🙂
Great seeing these old photos. I was born in Putney. The place has long-gone now. The working-class social milieu, I mean. Those old back streets off the Lower Richmond Road are Millionairesville now.
My Mums natural Mum lived in Balham area and gave birth to my mum in Balham nursing home in 1924 .. so good to have a idea what Balham was like in the early 1900s.. thank you
Life was slower, quieter, and the interactions between people were more direct, human and genuine. Civility and moderation in both behaviour, dress, attitude and speech were commonplace, and valued.
In comparison, we have today in the West, a new age verging on barbarism.
I grew up not far from Tooting. My Grandmother was born 1910 and her Mother my GGrandmother was born 1885. I grew up knowing GGrandmother until I was 8 and it amazes me that she saw the World like that, she lived through so many changes.
I was a London taxi driver from 1966 to 2020 and I can say that I have travelled all of these locations many times and I am amazed how they still look exactly the same today
I grew up in Southfields and Wandsworth. Family is from Battersea.
I think my parents first date, they met outside Arding & Hobbs.
Well Done Jason, keep it up. Steve Jones
brilliant work, and it's great that the locations are given, so you can do a google streetview comparison today
Love the steam rollers at 0.40 , I loved watching them at work when I was about 10 yo.
10 years old .how old are u now u must be about 80
@@utah217 I remember them in the 1960's, and I'm 78
Good to see, but pity the picture fades before one could read the details
Ever thought of 'pausing' the picture ?
@@Baskerville22 It would be great if you could tell us how to do that please. Thankyou.
Thankyou for sharing these pictures. Thinking of my Nan who was born in 1905 in Southend. Looking to see what the world would have looked like to her as she grew up.
@@Baskerville22 yes of course BUT often, the time line cover's it and goes to Blurred
@@sarahstrong7174 Just click on the picture

Spent many hours in the Castle. But it didn't look like this.
............ and all decent ENGLISH people, Beautiful!!!!
Unless I'm mistaken , Brixton is slightely different now
johnny p Phew! There was I starting to think that - miraculously - there would be no moronic racist comments on this video. Then up pops johnny p at the last minute to save the day. Congratulations!
@@clearlake3492 The only thing wrong with my comment is what narrow minded people like yourself might read into it
@@johnnyp4001 Okay, moron, please explain what your comment was trying to say.
@@johnnyp4001 Surprise, surprise! Our resident moron, johnny p, has gone all quiet!
as is the rest of the world..the photographs are nearly a hundred and twenty years old.
It won't be long now until the "mayor" changes all those street names.
well we won't have to remember all those names, maybe Just Sanji street ?
Magnificent!
Amazing, thank you Jason! What is that music?
Great, but what a shame that the captions were not fully shown in many of the photos! Very frustrating,
Thank you :)
thanks .mr blackman i have a 95mm clockwork cine camer with 2 cassets would you know a de vel o per
here
Nice stuff but unfortunately for me it’s all south of the river……
I gave up watching.
The editing of this is ridiculous. Every photo fades away before I've had time to read the title much less study the picture.
Yep, I had to keep pausing and rewinding. V frustrating, but great photos.
