- A whole Roasted OX. This is an absolutely stunning piece of film, that depicts the celebration of Queen Elizabeth's II, coronation in June of 1953.
In Ledbury, a small market town in Herefordshire, they celebrated in the grand old style by Roasting a whole OX in the centre of the town, the whole community came together to enjoy this momentous occasion, and luckily some one was there to film the whole thing.
From the laying of the first brick for the fireplace/ox spit, to the slicing of this noble beast, in front of a mammoth crowd, reported to have been in there thousands, A real life slice of history..Enjoy

Incredible! All those people given life again being watched in 2023🤘🏼🔥
Saw this on video many years ago albeit in black and white even more enjoyable in colour , I’m proud to call Ledbury my home town
God the world has changed!
All men dressed smartly, gathered to celebrate together.
This was few years after the second world war, I believe that most of people we see in the video have lost dear ones during the war.
We have been living in peace for such a long time we can't even stand each other!
I wish that events like this keep happening today and in the future.
I think you were saying we should be doing this today , not if. Correct? It would be Wonderful.
Reminds me of what we called 'Block Parties", OR Pig roasts.
All neighbors and friends getting together, having a fantastic time and great food with families and friends.
No need to pay to get in. Everyone just bringing something to pitch in.
Kids playing, nice music, a really wonderful time and something that made many happy memories. We NEED more of that!
God Bless!
Charlie Blum Yeah, I was running to work when I wrote that comment and yes. I meant that this tradition should keep on.
I lived in France before, in a city called Grenoble. In that city there is a small street called "rue Servan"; Every June, the neighbors chose a weekend night in which they gathered, shared food, and brought live musicians and performers with some activities for the children. Sometimes, local artists decorated the walls of the street with their art days prior to the event.
Thanks for sharing your memories.

Go FUCK YOURSELF to paradissseee !!!!
ABDELHAMID CHERRAGUI I am just watching this now. I live in US and I agree people don’t even know anyone anymore. People are at a all time high for loneliness. No more firework picnics. No dances. People walk around with there head down. Sad.
Fantastic film. I was 6 at the time and these films bring back wonderful memories for me. Only a handful of people had a TV at that time and it was 11 years later when we got one. Despite that, lots of people with a TV opened their houses to those without and the great community spirit took over. When I look at things today, I despair and I blame it all on TV. Thank god they can't take away the memories.
Great film and amazing narration so many years after the event. The clothing worn by people in 1953 to do manual labor is unbelievable today.
WHAT a stunning film and marvelous sense of community bring back the old days . thanks scott
Awesome video! Sad that things like this couldn't happen today, there would be protesters and ignorance abound.
That's a great clip, Scott. I'm glad you were able to come across it and post it.
My wife Christine and I really enjoyed this.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
A fascinating insight into a bygone era - we shall never see the like again!! thanks so much for showing this, and the narrator - what a natural speaker he was.

My mum and dad were in that crowd. They got married the same year as the coronation.
I have all the modern cookery books but find I'm learning more and more from this channel. So much that Scott covers is a commentary on my childhood, long may it continue.
Thanks so much for this Scott, a bygone era, things meant so much more then. Nice to see this. Cheers from Canada.

Thanks Scott...what a fantastic film...I'm going to share it with the expats I know who will love it.
Very cool , My father was a Young Man in the 50's , it was a different time. Everyone knew , cared for eachother.
Brings back memories as a lad for Dominion Day celebration where the local Legion would roast a half ox! Ah the 70's! Many thanks!
What a real sense of community. We could use some of that in the States right now. Great video Scott.
@Dave Gill The Big Nothing from an Film exemplifies what we're up against.
Thank you for that island of nostalgia, at a time most needed.
Scott thank you for sharing this with us. You could hear the pride in his voice. Keep up the good work
What a lovely bit of history!!
Scott, one hell of a video. Thank you for the privelage of watching a piece of history.
That was GREAT HISTORY. Thank You. 👍✌️😘
I was 10 months old and living in Loughborough at the time. On the other side of the pond now for quite awhile. Love your channel. Rock on.
What a slice of history. Thank you, for a great project, Scott. Cheers from Denmark
Thank you for helping to protect a slice of history of the UK. This is great because it shows the life of everyday folk.
What a wonderful piece of history. Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to do this sort of neighborly thing again. We really have to put aside the fear we are being fed and go back a step and see what we are missing.
Thanks for sharing that with us! You Brits have a royal way about you. Loved it, old boy!!!
That was then nothing like it now no longer exists sadly changed so much no longer Britain
Absolutely awesome!
Life back then looked good even though it wasn't as easy as we all have it these days. Gave this a double thumbs up Mate and thanks for sharing it with us.
Seems we've lost a lot in the last 60+ years...... Thanks for the glimpse of history.
Thanks for that Scott!
Very neat video, enjoyed watching it quite a bit!
the music makes me feel like i have time traveled, excellent video!
wow scott this is a treasure thanks ddue!!.... you know, I live in a neighborhood like that, you don't even have to lock ur door if you don't want and I live in Memphis, aka the number one city in the US for violent crime. it kinda stuck with me that they just left the tools and building material out in the street for a week and no one touched it... had that been in my town they would have stolen everything and caught the car on fire lol. but not so in the suburbs
Fantastic!!!
What a great idea sharing these videos, keep it up please! This guys narration was perfect, I love hearing stories from the older folks.
Magnifique ce film Scott !!! Super !
Georges
Scott magnificent this movie !!! Great !

Ledbury high Street hasn't changed much . All the men are in shirt and tie in the video, all dressed smartly.
Paul Cooper i noticed that too there was men cutting wood in shirts and ties :)
Brilliant video! Yes, I noticed shirts and ties, and the bricklayer was wearing dress shoes. I didn't see a single short sleeved shirt. How times have changed....
What an amazing archive? thank you
This was really interesting and thanks for sharing. As I bonus I went on Google Earth and found the exact location where the ox was roasted and everything still looks the same.
I absolutely loved this video. It was so very touching and joyful in every layer of its fabric. A million thanks for sharing this treasure!!
Beautiful!
WONDERFUL! I was only very young - born just before the early years of the present monarch. What a fantastic feast! Great historic film, and thanks for posting this!
Outstanding, Thanks.
It's amazing how many folks ignore tradition and insist on 'roasting' meat directly over the heat. Thanks for sharing this with the world!
3 years before I was born, thanks so much Scott for sharing, keep them coming!!
Fascinating!
Great film Scott. Ledbury - a lovely little market town. Wallers - top guys. I always pop in when Im passing. As much for the chat as their sausages!
Great. Thanks Scott.
Thanx Scott for all the historical clips!
Love it cool 👍
Fantastic video, Scott, you are a purist to your passion.
Wonderful Film Scott, thanks for sharing. I really enjoy these old Films you show.

Greetings and thank you for sharing such a wonderful video and slice of history! I loved every second!
Surprisingly moving!
Thank you for that clip Scott, takes me back to when I was a young lad - I watched the Coronation on Television (not at Ledbury unfortunately). What a fantastic time we all had! I was 6 and can still remember a lot of what happened!
A wonderful video...what a great find!

Fasinating film incredble slize of history not only we see people who served in ww2 but many in the crowd would have served in the trenches of ww1 what history to be looking at many thanks indeed this is why I love youtube so much Regards Mark
Interesting bit of history, thanks for sharing 🐨
Really enjoying these man. Thanks
Yes very nice💕
It was absolutely amayzeen.
Scott. I am ever appreciative for your appreciation of your history. In today's time we don't seem to have that kind of reverence for those that came "before". Good luck to you and yours my friend!
Great, great video thanks from Canada.
Be well.
This is really neat ....
This is cool to see something 2 years before I was born. Even saw a 48 Anglia in the clip. I did an ox roast when i was a kid in the boy scouts.
Thank you Scott, loved this, keep up the good work mate.
great video indeed!!!!!!
A wonderful clip! Oddly enough, it reminds me of the end of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" where he carves the roast beast.
What an amazing film. Subscribed & Thumbs up.
Awesome
Hi Scott, lovely piece from the past. You say nowadays something like this isn't done anymore. I've lived in Papua New Guinea for two years and they still have town feasts with mumu's. Look that one up.
His memory is superb. I have got to try that one day, cooking time would be long
.
Brilliant film
Mr. Rea, I truly enjoy these videos that give a unique glimpse into the culture and social lifestyles of the past - watching this was a pleasant experience, in particular early on when the narrator mentioned the bbq pit being built without any worry of vandalism or theft. A pleasant, relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a large group of people all looking forward to the roast.
Thank you for sharing, I'm glad the video survived all these years and I hope to see more butchery videos of the past here on your channel!
Thank you Scott it was wonderful to watch. It brings back memories for when I lived in Clehonger, I do remember going to Ledbury as a child, thanks once again for sharing :)
That was mindblowing! I love these old films, and I'm so glad to live in a time when we can actually see this. Imagination is fine, so reading about histiry is great to, but to see history like this is minbogglingly (did I spell that right? You get the idea though...) beautiful.
