Which City Would You Like to Visit in 1930s??

I sent this to my Nan who is 97 and living in a nursing home. She was working in London by the early 1940s, so this brought back lots of memories for her. So thrilled to be able to share it, thanks!

[madmikemackas]

This is absolutely unbelievable. The clarity and HD make it feel as though I am on the street with these folks. What a simple, pivotal, and exciting, time to be alive. I often think about all these people and their day to day lives. What it would be like to go through a day in the 1800s or early 1900s and I no longer have to wonder. Never before in history has anyone been able to see this like we do with such clarity and color. Truly incredible.

Seeing clips like these really does make you appreciate how short life is. My grandfather hasn't even been born at this point and has since passed away.

I’m so glad that one day someone just decided to record this, because little did they know it’s like a Time Machine nowadays

[haviskam]

All aside, I love the architecture of the time, when there were no buildings without soul. Each building was a piece of art and beauty.

[mathewdee]

How clean the roads and paths look, how new everything is, people seem very well dressed and happy, what an amazing time in London

Have to thank whoever had the idea to recording this knowing people in 90 years time might want to see how the world once looked

My grandmother (whom I had dinner with just last night) was born in East London (Whitechapel) in 1928. She remembers evacuating London during the war. She says she still has very clear memories of being in London as a young child so I am going to show her this video to see how she reacts!

Every single person looks as smart as a modern day person would if going to a wedding. And they are all so slim ! Fantastic and eye opening video, thank you.

[davidwebster]

Immediate impressions: architecture beautiful, people slim and well-dressed, and streets surprisingly clean!

[Jemini]

This sort of thing really brings home that history is about real people's lives rather than remote tales from some other world. Its easy to forget looking at a grainy black and white film made jerky by low frame rates that the scene did not look like that to those people. It was as fluid and vibrant as anything we see with our own eyes.

I'm 20. My paternal grandparents were born in 1915 and 1916, respectively. To see the world they lived in as young adults is fascinating. I wish I could have met them.

This is the closest thing to stepping into a Time Machine. Amazing work remastering this.

[TheNecronons]

it looks very beautiful compared to the modern day and everything seems to have a kind of flow

[immaterialimmaterial]

Love all of the fashions, especially all of those hats people wore. So much more stylish back then. Lovely to watch.

[westcountrywanderings]

What has impressed me here is the sound design, stereo seperation, attention to detail of car horns and bicycle bells, as well as tyre and exhaust and tram noises. Truly remarkable recreations of sound. Well done.

[zsozso]

Let’s not forget that this is at the start the Great Depression which began in 1929. Look how elegant the people were dressed. Another 10 years and Second World War starts. To be able to see back into the past like this is just absolutely amazing!

[liamduggan]

The signage on the buildings. Everyone took pride in how they looked. Really beautiful and sadly long gone.

[QuicknStraight]

Such a different aura about the place back then. Very few private cars, lots of busses, pedestrians walking and crossing where they liked! The old, smaller fountains in Trafalgar Square, too.
