I just have to tell you...I have to say, the computerized voice; non-human voice...really takes away from this otherwise very pleasent photo movie youve put together. It would also be great y enhanced by playing music of the Edwardian Era, instead of Jazz...which didnt come around like that until at least the 20's.
I agree, yet we can also watch an old black and white film and not even be conscious of the lack of colour. Amazing how our brains process information.
When I look at the era that way, it seems like everything was fine and elegant. And I feel like i want to live in that era. But I think we often tend to look past in a more romanticizing way.
@@dittohead7044 You'd still have to deal with all your loved ones dying of horrible diseases they had no vaccines for at the time, even if you were loaded. Plus 2 world wars. I couldn't have coped in that era.
Yeah ready for your entire generation of male friend's and relatives plus all your future partners to die in Flanders and entire European generation wiped out in 4 years those poor bastards had no idea of the horrors that awaited them over the next 30 years although the pictures do have a very romantic lost feel to them
A time when you knew your place within society, and anyone with a few bob more than you, treated you like shit. Yea great days if you were well off, servitude for everyone else. My nan was in service from the age of 9 till she married my grandad at the age of 23. She would never really talk about it, my grandad said it was bc she felt ashamed. She was sold into service by her family, as a way of having 1 less mouth to feed. She came from a family of 11, 13 counting the parents and never saw her brothers and sisters again, didn't know from that day to the day she died what happened to any of them.
Maria, not everyone dressed like that. I have photos of my European relatives from the 1880’s and they were poor farmers and labourers. They looked rough.
@@mchapman1928 Well, that is true. I was merely referring to people/style rather than an absolute. But even then, a typical workingclass men often wore a shirt, suspenders, boots and a bowler. Some workingclass women could look quite nice in nicely stitched dresses, full skirts, corset, elaborate hate and hair. We have a pic of my great great grand Aunt who looks like a 19th century Zendaya.
@@marial8235 - I do agree. Just since I was a teenager, decades ago, dress codes have deteriorated. I started working after high school 58 years ago, women wore suits, dresses to work, no slacks. Pregnant women never exposed their belly. It just wasn’t acceptable. Men wore suits, hats. In Walmart we saw a young man with his entire butt showing. Disgusting. I don’t like what I see today. You were too kind saying slobs…….the word ‘pigs’ is more accurate.
many of these photos are not from the edwardian era which ended in 1910 ... but from some years later, after the WWI ( 1914-1918). It would be nice if there would be more accurate descriptions of the photos. Most dresses that were shorter than full legs length (which is edwardian design) appeared first during the WWI, as well as the dresses without corsets, due to the fact that women left at home while men were at war needed more freedom with their clothes when working or engaging in daily activities. Some of the dresses shown here are actually from 1918, 1920 or early 20s (the shorter ones).
You do realise that this is the era of WW1 and the beginning of mechanised global conflict with millions of brutal deaths as a result. Certainly more 'human' if you define 'human' as the industrial capacity for mass destruction.
Quieter and more human? Time to take off your rose coloured glasses and read up on some history. The atrocities committed during this time were horrific.
I love the way you moved the photos up and down, sliding them effortlessly along! There was a lady ?driving a car , and the female Police officers, and of course the ladies who tried to get rights for other women x This was all excellent, thank you!
In the U.K. a pavement, is by the side of a road, a footpath is usually a route that the public have legal right of way in across privately owned land, not next to a public road. We also have restricted Bridle ways, like footpaths, but horses and cycles are allowed to use them and non restricted bridleways where anyone can go on them.
call me old fashion i dont care but i looovvveeeddd how the women dressed back there the hairdos the clothes just beautiful i loved watchin mr selfridge too because of the fashion from that day thanks for uploading this i loved it kudos 😊🤩❤👍👵💐
I’m an American and I’ve been to England twice. The first time was in 1997. It was beautifulI though we only saw a small portion. We went primarily to London and took day trips to Bath, Kent, Windsor and Dover. It was a dream come true for my daughter and me. I returned in 2015 with my husband and I couldn’t believe the change. It made me sad. Then again it’s not as bad as Mexico. My parents immigrated from Mexico in 1955. Mexico was so beautiful but it was hard for them to prosper there and now look what it’s become.
Just a minor correction to point out. The photo 2:07 in entitled Everyday life in London 1910 is actually a photo of Newcastle upon Tyne’s Bigg Market with the Town Hall in the centre. Notice Bainbridge and Co which was Newcastle’s John Lewis Partnership and the local Risi’s and Mark Toney Ice cream stalls just outside.
7.41 the tall building in the background is the former headquarters of the White Star shipping line in Liverpool. It still stands today (unlike the adjacent building) and has been converted into a Titanic themed hotel.
Fascinating. Both the women's and men's coats and jackets very sturdy and durable. Would have kept people warmer than much of the mass produced stuff of today. The faces and postures of the people is so interesting. Wearing both the struggle, hardship, privilege and wealth of their lived experiences.
thank you for these! of course, most of the pictures were not of the working class. my mother was born in 1908 and my father 1913 and were very poor during their childhoods. i have pictures of my grandparents and they didn't look like most of these fine ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you for this delightful showing, Just a point , music in back ground too modern & had to be turned VERY low, a distraction from a wonderful insight into my grandparents times.
some of the pictures you describe as 'Edwardian' are post-WWI, in the early 1920s, but it is a lovely gallery of photos. When people say that they dressed better then please remember that these are mainly society photographs
Yes, but even the tramps or really poor people , back then, wore clothes with more dignity and class that that what we can see nowadays in a catwalk or in the Grammys...
@@eva5302 Today's beautiful fashion is composed of pajamas leggings ripped jeans shorts flip flops etc and showing as much as possible because "If you have it flaunt it"
Fascinating views but I noticed a couple of miscaptioned photos: 0:34 shows the Royal Exchange & Bank of England, and 2:29 shows Russell Street in Covent Garden.
And 2.13 shows the Bigg Market, Newcastle, not London at all. Zoom in and you will see the shop name on the left is Bainbridge and Co, a Newcastle store, now part of John Lewis ( though it moved location in the 1970s).
Edwardian era is 1901-1910. Some of these are slightly later. Yet others are defintely 1920's. I suspect several of the dates are ether guesswork or wishful thinking.
These are fantastic. I love how the restoration gives such clarity - in particular that refreshment cart at 1:14. Fabulously interesting thanks for sharing. My family would have holidayed in Porlock every year from about 1977 to 1986. Wonderful to see The Ship Inn! 9:14
Well, _those_ people looked elegant….those who had the misfortune of having to work in mines and factories-including children-didn’t look very elegant. At all. But of course, I doubt the lower classes were photographed very often, so we can only imagine. Just as people everywhere have done ever since, the nicest scenes with the nicest people are the ones who got photographed, or at least shown.
So interesting to see the photos in colour. The photo you have of The Ship Inn is actually in Porlock itself, locals call it the Top Ship, and is one of the oldest inns on Exmoor. There’s another Ship Inn at Porlock Weir which is known as the Bottom Ship. The Top Ship still looks very much the same now and both inns have very good food - to go with the friendly and welcoming interior (and staff). Well worth a visit if you’re in West Somerset! (No, I’m not on commission!)
I enjoy all your videos so much and appreciate the great amount of work that goes into each one. (Would you, therefore, allow me to offer a bit of constructive criticism? The musical accompaniment was all wrong; I had to switch off the sound. Obviously, music from the Edwardian era was required!)
Thank you SO MUCH fordoing this. Now THIS is technology being used for good! What a fascinating history lesson, in color, which makes everything and everyone from that era seem just that much more alive and real. LOVED the fashions of the times too, so lush!
I always think the Edwardian era is the last of the real olden days , when women wore long skirts etc , a wonderful record, Thankyou ❤your skills are much appreciated! Also my Grandmother who was a young woman in the Edwardian era , wore a corset until she died , in the 1960s , she thought she had to have the support.
The Edwardians were the sporting set. Fox hunting, shooting at the great estates and women being allowed to join in...It was a brief but very lively period.
Yes, bring back the slums, no NHS, few - if any - women's rights, the fumes and filthy air, sewage in the streets, the workhouses, child labour..... 🙄🙄🙄
@@OlafProt that’s what media propaganda wants you to think, you can obviously see it’s cleaner and more organized and everyone is much more sophisticated and as far as women’s rights, aren’t you a guy? Grow a pair dude, women had rights, if women were so oppressed there wouldn’t have been Queens running the whole nations
Enjoyable! But I can't stop myself from pointing out: Right where you annotated, "Edwardian women loved experimenting with new fashion" [ 0:55 }, you showed a pic of post-WW1 women (I'll guess it's somewhere between 1919 and 1924; 'Edwardian' ended 1910.)
Thank you for sharing I love how these photos have been changed to show colour, the blue bowler hat did make me laugh, no way was that a thing in the Edwardian era it was fun though.
Fantastic! My great Grandfather was always suited and booted and looked so smart. People back then seemed to be proud with a sense of purpose. Meanwhile today, what can you say?
I think they believed that being as well dressed as possible was a sign of success even if it was only for Sunday wear. There were still plenty of folk who couldn't afford much "finery." Kids still went barefoot or had very tattered shoes and raggedy pants or dresses. Young girls wore apron-like garment over their dresses to keep them clean. After all, their moms couldn't just toss dirty cloths into an automatic washing machine.
Remember, you’re only seeing the people that were photo worthy. Not everyone at that time wore the best dresses and fur shawls. Many people were regular working class without the fancy hats and, shoes and dresses.
Actually, there were photographers who also photographed or filmed "working class" men and women, farmers, ditch diggers, minorities, poor children, and the like.
@@michelles2299 yes and they still ate, and drove and had glasses. Jeesus, I'm not listing everything they did do. I'm saying that these were mostly wealthy people.
I love all the colourised photos. It really brings them to life. One teeny request. Please put the video to backing music that is from the same time period as the photos. Something like Daisy would have been better. Cheers!
I love the way you colored these old photos, the colors are rich yet in some ways subdued, which seems exactly right for the period. The colorization brings these people back to life, and to me it's like traveling back through time. In the early 1900s, my gandfather owned a music school in Ohio, which is now part of a University there. I love looking at those old photos. My only question is about one or two of the photos, which from the ladies'dresses seem to be post WWI. But that is minor. Great work!
I Liked and subbed - love these old images. Thank you forgoing to such trouble - it is appreciated. re the footage : Why we stopped caring about how we present ourselves in public is a real shame... I have let myself go and I see it when watching these. Thank you - just amazing and beautiful time gone bye. Women elegantly and modestly dressed... wishing we could go back to these times.
We are no longer taking walks or talking to each other but stuck on iPads or phones that we forget how to interact with other people. I do remember playing outside having fun with friends and family going out to parks and camp sites for the day
Very interesting especially the London location photos. Interesting how many cars & automated buses & vans in 1910! A small point a few of the picture (in the middle) are clearly later than the Edwardian Era, post WW1 from the women’s dresses. The one with the policeman for example & the three women posing - wouldn’t have been dressed like that before 1920. Corsets were essential for women until the early 1920s which dictated a fitted not flowing silhouette plus the hem lines are too high for pre 1914.
09:53 This is the London Bridge that, when it was replaced a few decades ago, it was disassembled and shipped to the United States of America. It is located now, fully reassembled with every stone put back precisely in the same place, in Lake Havasu City, AZ, over the lake. I think it is a pedestrian bridge now, and a big draw for the tourists. It is, I'm pretty sure, the bridge that is referred to in the traditional children's song about London Bridge "falling down, falling down".
Funny, all the men look super old to me. All of them, not just some of them. All. (except for the boys of course) Great video, I really loved seeing all these scenes in color. Thank you so much.
Correction to saying Edwardians were the last generation to wear corsets. Corsets fell out of favor in the 1920s. But many women (even teenagers) wore various types of corsets during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The style called "merry widows" puffed up the breasts and cinched in the waist hoping to achieve the ideal 16" waistline. Some corsets were full length, others covered the tummy and hips. Now age 82, I remember wearing corsets during junior high and senior high, but had fewer in the 1960s. We wore skirts and usually stockings if we went out in public, unless is was to a sports activity. Slacks were not allowed in my college classes.
Mon arrière-grand-père, sacré bricoleur à la recherche du mouvement perpétuel (avec son frère), achetait à Londres des machines à vapeurs (qui débarquées à Bordeau remontaient la Garonne sur des barges). Je l' ai reconnu dans une des images !
Et moi j' ai reconnu mon arrière-grand mère! Etait-il à Londres avec elle ? ("dites" moi sur quelle image avez vous repéré votre ancêtre ? Ex: 4:04 ... )

@@scathatchLondon still has life killing poverty, but the good life was far better
@@parrotjunglecolada8270 Absolutely London still does.
Yes, bring back the slums, no NHS, few - if any - women's rights, the fumes and filthy air, sewage in the streets, the workhouses, child labour..... 🙄🙄🙄
@@OlafProt that’s what media propaganda wants you to think, you can obviously see it’s cleaner and more organized and everyone is much more sophisticated and as far as women’s rights, aren’t you a guy? Grow a pair dude, women had rights, if women were so oppressed there wouldn’t have been Queens running the whole nations
Enjoyable! But I can't stop myself from pointing out: Right where you annotated, "Edwardian women loved experimenting with new fashion" [ 0:55 }, you showed a pic of post-WW1 women (I'll guess it's somewhere between 1919 and 1924; 'Edwardian' ended 1910.)
Thank you for sharing I love how these photos have been changed to show colour, the blue bowler hat did make me laugh, no way was that a thing in the Edwardian era it was fun though.
My grandmother was born in 1910 she saw fashion change dramatically as well as society and consumer goods she passed away in 1984
I love the styles of this time period. Great coloring effect!
Job well done! Really makes the past seem "real" to see it in living color. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
very good i would suggest slowing it down a bit so we can read the captions and enjoy the pics cheers
Wow superb restoration cant believe how good they look!
Thank you so much!

Thank you very,very much,it's all coming together.

Thank you so much for your comment!
Thanks for your channel, I love it! ♥🖤🪄 I love vintage, history, arts! 🤎
Fantastic! My great Grandfather was always suited and booted and looked so smart. People back then seemed to be proud with a sense of purpose. Meanwhile today, what can you say?
I think they believed that being as well dressed as possible was a sign of success even if it was only for Sunday wear. There were still plenty of folk who couldn't afford much "finery." Kids still went barefoot or had very tattered shoes and raggedy pants or dresses. Young girls wore apron-like garment over their dresses to keep them clean. After all, their moms couldn't just toss dirty cloths into an automatic washing machine.
Amazing photos! I love looking at these ❤🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
It would be really wonderful to go through another clothing era just like this again clothing made to last wow wonderful thank you ❤🎩👒🌂
Thank you so much for your comment!
Elegance....a word that doesn't exist anymore....😢
Remember, you’re only seeing the people that were photo worthy. Not everyone at that time wore the best dresses and fur shawls. Many people were regular working class without the fancy hats and, shoes and dresses.
Actually, there were photographers who also photographed or filmed "working class" men and women, farmers, ditch diggers, minorities, poor children, and the like.
But they still wore hats that's the point having no money didn't mean they didnt have some pride
@@michelles2299 yes and they still ate, and drove and had glasses. Jeesus, I'm not listing everything they did do. I'm saying that these were mostly wealthy people.
I love all the colourised photos. It really brings them to life. One teeny request. Please put the video to backing music that is from the same time period as the photos. Something like Daisy would have been better. Cheers!
I love the way you colored these old photos, the colors are rich yet in some ways subdued, which seems exactly right for the period. The colorization brings these people back to life, and to me it's like traveling back through time. In the early 1900s, my gandfather owned a music school in Ohio, which is now part of a University there. I love looking at those old photos.
My only question is about one or two of the photos, which from the ladies'dresses seem to be post WWI. But that is minor. Great work!
Fascinating stuff. Keep it coming.

Thank you so much!
These are wonderful photographs. Thank you.
This is marvelous. Thank you for posting.
I Liked and subbed - love these old images. Thank you forgoing to such trouble - it is appreciated.
re the footage : Why we stopped caring about how we present ourselves in public is a real shame... I have let myself go and I see it when watching these. Thank you - just amazing and beautiful time gone bye. Women elegantly and modestly dressed... wishing we could go back to these times.
What a treat - wonderful! ☺
Danke für die tollen Fotos. ❤
Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar!

Muchísimas gracias
Thank you, it was wonderful!
Thank you so much!
That was a great look at a time I'd love to experience. Maybe one day we will be able to time travel back for a look.
👍
We are no longer taking walks or talking to each other but stuck on iPads or phones that we forget how to interact with other people. I do remember playing outside having fun with friends and family going out to parks and camp sites for the day
Very interesting especially the London location photos. Interesting how many cars & automated buses & vans in 1910!
A small point a few of the picture (in the middle) are clearly later than the Edwardian Era, post WW1 from the women’s dresses. The one with the policeman for example & the three women posing - wouldn’t have been dressed like that before 1920. Corsets were essential for women until the early 1920s which dictated a fitted not flowing silhouette plus the hem lines are too high for pre 1914.
09:53 This is the London Bridge that, when it was replaced a few decades ago, it was disassembled and shipped to the United States of America. It is located now, fully reassembled with every stone put back precisely in the same place, in Lake Havasu City, AZ, over the lake. I think it is a pedestrian bridge now, and a big draw for the tourists. It is, I'm pretty sure, the bridge that is referred to in the traditional children's song about London Bridge "falling down, falling down".
Loved it so much, thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you so much !
Funny, all the men look super old to me. All of them, not just some of them. All. (except for the boys of course) Great video, I really loved seeing all these scenes in color. Thank you so much.
Wow it looks like today i love it,
Thank you so much !
Oh! The elegance of people’s attire in those days! The women’s dresses were so pretty and feminine!
It is super. Time in which my gran grand father was a young....
白黒画像だと過去の記録としか思えないけど、カラーだと現実に存在していた実感がありますね😄
でも、既に遠い過去でしか無いので、何というかその時代を模したリアルな芝居を見ているような不思議な感覚ですね😄
The colorized photos make it seem so real! It makes me want to step back in time & hang out in that 'world' for a bit!
The ‘busy scene in Central London’ @2:30 is Covent Garden, not Regent Street or Oxford Street
Correction to saying Edwardians were the last generation to wear corsets. Corsets fell out of favor in the 1920s. But many women (even teenagers) wore various types of corsets during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The style called "merry widows" puffed up the breasts and cinched in the waist hoping to achieve the ideal 16" waistline. Some corsets were full length, others covered the tummy and hips. Now age 82, I remember wearing corsets during junior high and senior high, but had fewer in the 1960s. We wore skirts and usually stockings if we went out in public, unless is was to a sports activity. Slacks were not allowed in my college classes.
Mon arrière-grand-père, sacré bricoleur à la recherche du mouvement perpétuel (avec son frère), achetait à Londres des machines à vapeurs (qui débarquées à Bordeau remontaient la Garonne sur des barges). Je l' ai reconnu dans une des images !
Et moi j' ai reconnu mon arrière-grand mère! Etait-il à Londres avec elle ? ("dites" moi sur quelle image avez vous repéré votre ancêtre ? Ex: 4:04 ... )
