Some great archive shots - always a shame the final frame has to be smothered with promos. It was a bit of a shame some of the old merchant's houses couldn't be saved from the slum clearances - but I am often amazed at how clean the streets are, even amid such destitution. Very interesting.

I dunno about anyone else I think it looks more appealing back then 😅

yeah im sure in those days there wasn't even concrete everywhere, some places still had stones, and dirt would collect, people would throw their trash outside, and you had literally hogs roaming the street eating leftovers. This is what they often don't get when they have movies set in the 1900's in the slums. Hell, even in the 1920's 30's and 40's city streets in NYC had to be filthy as hell still. Maybe not downtown, but low incom areas? forget about it. I think gangs of NY was probably the most accurate because scorsese always look for authenticity.

Thx

Very well done!!! 💗👏👏👏

3:28 Unforgivable that these woman would turn to prostitution just to survive, if they had any self respect they should have become doctors, lawyers, airline pilots or even swallowed their pride a gone into dentistry. With so many opportunities available choosing prostitution was just lazy and selfish when they should have gone on to higher education! I can’t believe the choices some of these ladies made and just for the sake of not starving to death or having a roof to live under…unforgivable! Fortunately that doesn’t happen in this day and age! We should be so proud of ourselves..in fact, let’s all pat ourselves on the back for our understanding and compassion. We’re so enlightened

Probably got better fed in jail, and a warm blanket for them. Rough times then for kids, I like South and North shields.

And kneel to the aristocracy 😂😂😂 Wheres the Red Guard when you need them 😂😂

In the main the workers were paid as little as possible, they were disposable, just there to make the rich richer, no time to educate themselves. Sound familiar?

Probably better off in prison

You can trace it to the dissolution of that monasteries. The orphanages, hospitals and asylums were shut down and Henry VIII gave it all to his friends.

I need longer videos! I love hearing the stories of the past and how people lived then

what was they sawing up wood for exactly? where they turning it into fire wood for use in the work house

Let’s be factual, laws were and are enacted by repressive conservative governments, then & now, for the protection of property by the property owning class and were and are indifferent to the trials & tribulations of the other 95% of the population. This situation is assisted by the working class tory voter every time.

And we're coming full circle

It must be some detail about how the work houses operated that they took poor Mr Hussey to the work house instead of to a hospital. Did hospitals not exist there yet? Or was the guy too poor and wretched to be permitted inside of one... a real shame that this sort of thing still occurs today.

Seems like we are sliding back into those living conditions with cuts to social services, healthcare and the rising numbers of impoverished and homeless. Many of the common Victorian illnesses are making a comeback too.

Thanks!

Work Houses were fun!

It’s my weekly supplement from FactFeast as we hear about the not so glorious west end of London.

Funny , I used to work at Tesco and they had very similar charts of areas considered poor, rich, in between etc

Are you or is anyone familiar with Telford Mews in Northwest London? My GG Grandmother lived at 10 Telford Mews in 1891

Always a great listen! And the images to go

I went to school in Marylebone, 1976_1981. Didn't live too far,Lisson Grove..

😊 Always interesting 😊

I’m debating, with my heart and soul, about the brother “chucking” his younger brother into The River Thames if it was mercy, or murder. I cannot imagine what he was thinking when he “chucked” his brother into The River Thames. I think that children had it the worst, because they didn’t have any laws protecting them, and they had to do what they needed to do in order to survive. Yet, I don’t think they should have been executed for stealing food. I can’t imagine digging up a diseased cow, with the stomach turning smell, in order to sell the meat and get some money to stave off starvation, or homelessness. That, right there, posed a huge risk to the health of other people. Now, in today’s world, the prices of EVERYTHING is skyrocketing will cause people to do whatever they have to do to make it. We’re seeing poverty growing more and more, and the governments are doing nothing to curb the inflation. The rich are having zero problems, and the middle-class and poor are suffering. I can only hope and pray that things turn around, for all of us, and the poverty levels are eradicated. My firm belief is that politicians SHOULD NOT be allowed to own their own businesses while being a politician, own stocks, live in gated and armed security neighborhoods, or have armed security personnel. They SHOULD reside in neighborhoods where their constituents live, living on what they earn as a politician, and have to experience what their constituents experience. Maybe then they’ll understand why we’re so angry a them!!

Dear me...Mar-lebone..I prefer Vo-zall.

I live in Marylebone.

Love this channel, thank you 👍

I wonder if the Marylebone Mews houses were former news where the rich paid falconer’s assistants to keep their raptors ?

Nice video, great editing, this could be broadcast in television

Yeah!!!! 🎉 Lisson Grove?!? Isnt that where 'Eliza Doolittle' was from? 😂

You don’t have to go back 120 years…. Shoreditch was still nasty 40 years ago….. I remember it well

Im watching this from one of the Gorbals few remaining tenements. 😮

You’re channel is a true gem and one of my favourite channels. I have always loved social history and your narration really brings history alive!

And there buying them still, old best avoided

Brilliant script beautifully narrated. Fascinating. Thankyou.

No wonder people emigrated to unknown places far away, knowing they’d never be able to return. It would have been hard to do worse.

nothing has changed then

And to hear about the legends going around in India and the colonies about London's sidewalks "made of gold"

Poverty is still a crime and if we don't pay attention to all the right wing propaganda and fight for the rights of everyone, we will soon live in a dark time again.....

Just came back from Edinburgh, spent 3 nights in a 3rd story AirBnB flat about 50 yards down from the castle gate in the old town. Took a tour called the "city of death" where the guide talked about all this and even took us to some vaults under the bridge. It is so sad to hear about the greed of some people that caused so much suffering. Interrsting to note is that the decends of those poor people have moved on, had they been black or a different race they probly would be complaining about a racist history... but the fact is that history shows human beings did NOT discriminate based on race, they just discriminated because they could. Humans have been and can be totally cruel to anyone.

I was coming back from work driving from raf upper heyford old air base whilist on my hands free phone i heard broken voices on my phone it sounded like someone over a radio giving out coordinate information but they were shouting it out. I found out that 2 airmen were killed near the airfield as they crashed near the road near the airbase. It was very scary

MAGA wants to bring this kind of society back! Trump 2024!

My cousin went out to LA at the tale end of the depression to seek her fortune as a actress and her and her parents stayed in a old slum house that was remodeled into a 25$ a month flop house..she eventually found work but if the walls of that place could talk

You should also do a video on the sin city of the northwest.. Seattle..where the term Shanghaied originated... don't get drunk at one of the trap door bars or you might end up on a boat to Shanghai china
