I appreciate the time you took to put this together. Fascinating photos. I love this era as well. I watch a lot of movies from the 1800s. I still can't believe women wore corsets back then but then again we were forced to wear pantyhose for a long time lol. 😊
@@polemeros I don't know how old you are but I worked in banking for almost 40 years. And most of banking is owned by men. So do your research because yes we were forced to wear pantyhose as well as dresses for many years. Also we were attacked for showingeven the slightest bit of cleavage. Unless you know the facts it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut. Just some advice from an old cat lady
@@OptimistinCA It's called a business dress code, cat lady, and men had to abide by it as well. I don't hear men whining, Oh, they forced us to wear jackets and ties!!!! Oh we are so oppressed!!!! Women are the chief enforcers of female dress. And no matter what, women always see themselves as victims, when it's usually other women doing the victimizing. Go feed your cat.
I was born in Britain 83 years ago, so at least halfway back to those times. My grandparents grew up in those days. I like the music. English Folk Music is somewhat similar. And the young men in the thumbnail were performers. People have always clowned around for the camera. Great work with the video.
Fascinating and thanks for posting. It's strange to think my great great Grandfather walked those same streets in London back then; everything would have been very familiar to him
The mattress delivery photo looks like Kings Cross goods yard which is now a tourist destination. The picture of the Midland Hotel is almost identical to the view today.
There is a lot of poverty all the time No Victorian had double glazing Most didn't have hot and cold running water None was a passenger in an airplane Most only had working clothes and Sunday best Childhood disease ravaged all classes...
Very nice. If I had a time machine, I would move to the Future, but holiday in the Past. While on holiday in the distant Past, I would go back to the Future every single day to use the bathroom.
Quite fascinating, since they all, who ever they are, appear to come right out of the page at you, as if about to start talking. They are predominantly dressed in blue coloured cloth as is the prevailing colour now, particularly among young men. Many, many thanks.
@@raindancer6111 True; but the vast majority wore red with the Rifles wearing dark green. the light cavalry and artillery wearing dark blue and the British officer's black undress coat: None wore the wonderful pastel shades of the colourised photos. Once again I admire the skill with which these photos have been colourised.
I love the pic of (left to right) Edward, the Queen, and future Queen Alexandra. And the one of the wee lassie wearing a hat with her dog. I am wondering how things became fashionable in those pre-Internet, TV or glossy magazine days (?). Maybe the middle classes copied the toffs, but the rank and file couldn't afford to unless Dickens completely made up the "Oliver Twist" environment. And how long would it have taken to make the clothing, assuming one could afford to buy it. Two very small things: (1) the music doesn't set the theme quite, for me; and (2) I would like to have seen more major landmark exterior buildings of the time with people outside them. Nonetheless, another very worthwhile video!
This gallery of photos is indeed, as the presenter says, "like you've never seen before." It's a very vivid record of Victorian England, brought back to life. So many thoughts came up while watching this video! For example, how did the Victorians put on and off all their heavy clothes? How they must have perspired when the weather turned suddenly hot! The contrast between the rich and the poor was very much evident.
Victorian people certainly were better dressed than we are today. Not as overweight as us. I assume they ate smaller plates of healthy food right from the garden and worked longer hours. The reason why they hardly smiled in the vintage photos was because the exposure took so long. Plus, the photography was expensive.
Frank Burton at 6.38 may be one of my ancestors! He looks exactly like my father who was also a Frank Burton and I know the name has been handed down for generations. Time to do some research! Thank you for this interesting video😊
The Duke of Albany was a younger son of Queen Victoria. He had hemophilia. He died at the age of 31 in 1884. He was very brave. He studied at Oxford, got married and fathered two children.
You sir need to take a six month sabbatical during which time you should acquaint yourself more with the music, both popular and formal, of that time in order to avoid juxtaposing grill-room music tastes with the more discerning palates. Secondly, I might add is that as the original photographs were intended, and often lit as, monochromes they should remain so except for landscapes and seascapes. Otherwise, all very well done and enjoyable.
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. The choice of music is limited by the TH-cam permission to use it, so I can use only TH-cam Audio Library track.
@@BrightStyle I noticed this on a few other sites. Apologies for my commetont. There's a nasty outbreak of blurring all over TH-cam as well. Some of it seems to be due to financial rules but there appears to be a prudish influence as well. So sad.
On the whole, very good; but let down by the military uniforms which were just sooooo wrong. There is plenty of information available on all of the uniforms you have depicted in order for you to at least get the cloth colours correct. (red instead of blue for example)
Really weird seeing this in color. Notice how short working class men were usually. a study was done in Scotland about 1905 which divided men into 4 social classes according to wealth of childhood household, and not without surprise, found men in the top class were 5 inches taller on average.
My maternal grandfather, John Watkin, was born in Sheffield in 1883 in very poor circumstances. He eventually became a solicitor’s clerk, a humble but stable job. His military records from the Great War reveal him to have been just 5’ 3”.

Just one point, many of the ladies are shown wearing black or purple, these were mourning colours. Surely they are not all widows. If they were would they have been having their photograph taken while in mourning?
The 11th Hussars of 1854 wore a blue jacket, not reddish as shown at 4:33. And the Life Guards (if that is what they are) shown in walking out dress should have red tunics rather than blue as shown.
Not all. Cavalry regiments and artillery generally wore blue. On campaigns in Egypt and Afghanistan in the 1880s they wore sand coloured or light blue tunics as shown.
I get the 1800s ref... But I always thought that the 1800s ran from 1800 to 1809 1810s, 1810 to 1812 1820s, 1820 to 1819 Etc etc Queen Victoria didn't ascend the throne till 1836 And reigned till 1901

This is such wonderful work. It's so interesting to see the contrast between the very poor and the very rich.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to improving these snapshots of our forebears. The disparity between the haves and have nots is glaring..
This added considerably to my evening. Thank you, very much.
Thank you so much, I sincerely appreciate.
This wonderful video of history took many hours of pains taking labour....You are a man of immense talent...
Thank you Annamarie

Forced by whom? Other women, that's who. Who "forces" you to wear high heels, etc? You do all this yourselves.

god bless you i realy enjoyed this i am 73 come from bradford lived with my grand parants, bradford west yks was a fine city with beautifull buildings
Thank you very much, may you live long and live well.
American Appalachian music doesn't really fit the choice of photographs. Otherwise, the photos themselves look great.
The thumb nail doesn't even look like English men either.
@C.Hughes-Lloyd I think it's an American picture but I could be wrong . I've seen it before .

Another great video Bright Style! Thank you for sharing 👍

Thank you!
Great content! Slow and steady so we can appreciate the imagery and read the narrative. SUBSCRIBED.
Thank you very much !
love the presentation,despite the misarable music, love
This is great! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
:57 seconds in and I’m having to mute the music. The music makes no sense with this time era.
Loved this. The Colourisation is perfect 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much !

Thank you for your comment
Great video, I had to turn the music down, it’s a bit chaotic, switching and changing constantly. Became very distracting.
There is a lot of poverty all the time
No Victorian had double glazing
Most didn't have hot and cold running water
None was a passenger in an airplane
Most only had working clothes and Sunday best
Childhood disease ravaged all classes...
C'est très intéressant, merci beaucoup et bonne continuation ! :)
Merci beaucoup
Let's not forget the poverty, squalor, drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution, disease and inequality.
Like today
Cry about it 😂
I feel so close to those wonderful people. I can see the link in their eyes. The kindred spirit.
The follies of the rich to the reality of the working man.
Isn’t that the truth!
Loved these ❤😊
Thank you !
Very nice. If I had a time machine, I would move to the Future, but holiday in the Past. While on holiday in the distant Past, I would go back to the Future every single day to use the bathroom.

The accompanying music is utterly dreadful. I had to mute the sound early on, or I would not be able to watch the video.
Very interesting , pieces of life, memory of people.
Thank you.
Really enjoyed it!
Thank you.
Had to mute the music but pictures were lovely
That’s a pity ….the music was lovely!
Très intéressant j❤beaucoup à bientôt j’espère merci beaucoup
Fascinating
Thank you
Very impressive work, I enjoyed it very much. I have one criticism, the British Army were famously known as 'redcoats' because their coats were red.
That would depend upon their regiment.

in the first picture with the 10 men ... they are all dead.
@@JuliusCaesar3111 hm, you have an interesting theory there.
What is the song that begins at the 14:15 mark? I can find nothing on a lyrics search.

Nothing shy about Henry Mitchell at 3:49.
I give you a thumbs up but let's be honest you are doing this for yourself
The 11th Hussars of 1854 wore a blue jacket, not reddish as shown at 4:33. And the Life Guards (if that is what they are) shown in walking out dress should have red tunics rather than blue as shown.
Nice, however remember British military men generally wore scarlet tunics (red coats!) It is a common mistake of our US cousins!
Not all. Cavalry regiments and artillery generally wore blue. On campaigns in Egypt and Afghanistan in the 1880s they wore sand coloured or light blue tunics as shown.
@@Acridblue999 Very true but as you can see I don't think there is one red coat> I think the software thinks the military are American!

Whole experience was spoilt by terrible choice of background music. I made my excuses and left.
