      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.

      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.

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).

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.

      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.

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!

    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.)

      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.

    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!

    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".

    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.
