14.39 is really gruesome, has he beheaded someone?
I discover your slide show now! What a great work! it gives us all these people from the past so close to us. I know what I'm talking about, for working in digital photo editing for more than twenty years, so I know how it is difficult to enhance B&W pictures with color, in convincing way. congratulation for your work. A delight!
@@bernardchaudey9684 LOL. They are uploads from other people's work. At least one of them is an AI generated photo.
I am always filled with nostalgia when I see these old pictures from times gone by, it is the nearest thing that we can get to time travel. Thank You.
This. I almost cry as if I'm going through photos of my own childhood. I'm sure there was certainly much physical hardship that we are not custom to today, but I also see an abundance of what really matters to life, things that remember in my own youth.
Nice to see the photos colourized. My grandmother lived in London during early 1900s. I always love to see photos of people/places and I can imagine her during these years.
Regarding the fifth photo, I know Lake Street in New Hinksey very well as I have lived in Oxford most of my life. I can confirm that, 134 years later, this street & surrounding ones still get flooded very frequently! Love your videos, thank you very much ♥️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it !
I think that’s known as irony.
I am Oxford born too and my first thought was that my Great Granny would have been around at that time. She lived in Binsey tho. I remember going to the outdoor pool at Hinsky
It's a grand and appropriate name for it then. High Street would not work here.
My grandfather was born in 1893. I used to sit with him by the fire and hear stories about his schooldays and what the "scholars" got up to. Scholar was the common word for schoolboy in his time. Later as a young man he used to go visit the forge where someone would have a newspaper and they would read aloud the news of the day to the others. He lived until 1990.
What kind of stuff did he get up to - would love to hear!
He was born the same year as my grandmother. Sadly she died in 1982 just a couple of months short of her 90 th birthday. I loved her very much, she taught me lots of things that have made me who I am today. She was the eldest of eight children, six girls and two boys. Unfortunately both the boys died in WW1 the elder aged 21 the other just 19. However I was lucky enough to know all the girls, wonderful Dickensian women, feminists when it really meant something not the airy fairy sort of today’s so called feminists.
I was surprised to see Sunderland on here. That city is hardly ever mentioned in any videos about anything. Much appreciated.
Coventry too, a rarity.
And nothing has changed really !!
I have my great grandmother’s silver belt buckle that she wore with outfits similar to those on the three young women. Amazing that I knew her too.
The ladies waist size!
@@ehilton96 Corsets! Must have been so painful.
This was a nice way to close out the weekend. Thank you, very much.
Ich fühle mich immer wieder inspiriert, wenn ich Ihre Photographien sehe. Ich liebe besonders die Edwardian Times... Thank you
Danke schön
Hardly the "The Oldest Ever Photos of England" by a long shot but the restoration is fascinating. Thank you.
That one is at 7.01
@HROM1908 - I thought the same. The dates on many of the photos are way off.
@@cathyrussell7157 LOL. They are uploads from other people's work....probably didn't bother to check any dates or accuracy..... At least one of them is an AI generated photo.
@@warrenny I was wondering about that. One that said reading woman 1890's looked like 1920's to me.
Another superb offering. Many thanks. The quality is excellent and the subject matter range comprehensive.
Absolutely astounding! Thanks so much for these amazing photographs of a bygone age.
when i now see these old photo's brilliantly recoloured i no longer see them as being back in history but coming alive and full of personality .. ....amazing
Thank you very much
Beautiful!!! ❤ thank you for sharing !🎉
The photo of Polly Swallow almost looks like she is a time traveler with her hairstyle not matching that timeframe, but more of a late 20th century timeframe.
Polly Swallow was a beautiful woman wasn’t she!
ya missed a letter L😉
She was awesome wasnt she?
"Polly Swallow" sounds like the street name of a "Good Time Girl".
Wow,it brings them so much closer to us because of them being colourised,thanks for the upload!
We appreciate all the time and effort you took to show us what you showed us thank you
That was truly delightful! Thank you!
Real people, frozen in time by the click of a camera. Their life experiences unknown to us now, and forever.
Fascinating video, thank you.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it
I'm simply mesmerised by these. So enjoyable to view. Thank you!
Thank you very much !
I just live for your videos. Thank you so much.
Great pictures of England 🇬🇧 👌 my Grandfather was born in England in 1888 in Surrey. He had many great memories of his life.
🏴=England,the cross of St.George(23rd of April),
also 🇬🇧=the Union flag/British flag(Upon the waves it'd be the 'Union Jack').This is a combination of 🏴(England)🏴(Scotland;the cross of St.Andrew-30th November)and🇯🇪 (Northern Ireland).
The other part of us that doesn't want to be part of us is Eire/the Irish republic🇮🇪
St.Patrick(17th March)is the patron Saint of ALL of Ireland.
Lastly but not leastly; Wales🏴 and their patron Saint is David and his day is March 1st.
*God bless them all!*
I think this needed to be pointed out as there appears to have been some confusion between the English and British flags.
❤ THANK YOU!!!!..amzazing work. !!!!❤🎉❤
Fantastic, thankyou for taking the time of colouring these moments in time of a now all but forgotten time. You can tell even in these staged photographs, the differences between the Social classes, the rich of London and Birmingham with the smaller towns of the poor in Whitby and Preston and Leeds. Unfortunately a difference of living standards that still exists in the 21st Century! 👍 Liked!

The most interesting video I've seen in a long time, very much appreciated this. Thank you.
These are fabulous. I love history. You brought it to life for me. Such a variety of people. The music is delightful. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thx for such a great idea.
Thank you so much, I sincerely appreciate it
Lovely & interesting photos. Fascinating to see and having them coloured brings them to life. I love the music too. Greetings & best wishes from Ireland. 👍🇮🇪
Thanks a Lot !

Just found your channel and like to say what a great channel, being from England it was nice to see purely English photos although photos from other countries are equally interesting keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thank you so much !

I LOVE colourised photos, makes it easier to imagine the lives/ existence of the time
very nice, thank you so much..
very impress me the fotos..make me feel sad, all those people are not here anymore long very long time ago..
greetings from Ecuador southamerica
So fascinating especially when you read Victorian era litterature as I do, thank you so much 😍🙏
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉😊
Thank you for your comment!
Breathtaking photos depicting much of the social stratification during the Victorian era from the late 19th and early 20th century. "The period saw the British Empire grow to become the first global industrial power, producing much of the world's coal, iron, steel and textiles. The Victorian era saw revolutionary breakthroughs in the arts and sciences, which shaped the world as we know it today."
Bright Style, Nice channel. I love vintage scenes like this. At 2:40 I like photo of pretty girl in 1892. My Grandmother was born that year and she was still living in the early 1980's when I was a kid.
How wonderful. Such excellent presentation and suoerb music.
Thank you
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
@@BrightStyle genuinely a superb collection and very enjoyable!
Thank you sir for sharing your lovely pictures.

It's like we watched an old movie.
And their music wonderful.
Thank you🍃
Thanks a lot
WOW!
Polly Swallow...
I've had this pic for decades
just loved it
Thank You for putting a name to such beauty...
The colourization is immaculate
Wonderful pictures of times gone by but quite sobering when you realise that everyone in the photos that you can see has long since passed away.
Many in the first world war no doubt.
Vielen Dank. Die Reise in die englische Vergangeeheit hat mir sehr gefallen - vor allen die Stadtfotos in denen viel zu entdecken war. Reife Leistung!
really nice. I especially liked the closet beds!
Excellent, lovely to see how our country was. Now a cesspit of ...you name it,,....
True. Eventually our Elites will sell out their country to the highest bidder. It's just human nature.
You think whitechapel or shoreditch in the 1880's was a paradise do you?
@@jackryder-sw9rk Right. Mary Kelly, Elizabeth Stride and a few others might beg to differ.
@@paulohagan3309 Indded Paul. Just read Mayhew's London Labour and London Poor.
@@jackryder-sw9rk I've seen extracts. Heart-breaking.
People see these photographs [which yes, I like to see too] and get the notion in their head that everything was Shangri-la. They forget that the photographers would pretty much only show the very best from those times. You might get photographers who would for socio-political reasons also show the grim side of England at the height of its Empire.
But most photos will be by and large, pretty flattering of the time. Yes, we all like to see the sweet side of life. However, I challenge the channel to show just a few of the grimmer photos [Whitechapel and the East End, looking at you] of the time.
And as the novel 'Ragged, Trousered Philanthropists' pointed out, the happy people in these photos might have a stroke or two of bad luck and soon their lives could take a turn for the worse. Hell, one of Queen Victoria's children I believe, died of leukemia and she wore black for the rest of her life after Albert died.
And of course, no antibiotics; if you contracted cancer God help you, it was a long agonising death, turberculosis and smallpox still pretty common as well as other horrors. If in debt, you could be sent to prison and although there is talk of how peaceful the 19th Century was, there were plenty of small-scale but very vicious conflicts throughout the world.
So enjoy the pretty pictures folks as do I. Just remember they don't show the dark side of the past.
Awsome ! really brings those folks back to life
Stunning. A window into the past. Colorized old photographs sometimes give the feeling that the nineteenth century ended literally yesterday.
Thanks
Awesome work on transforming the photos!
Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed it thank you
Shame that these people are all turning in their grave at the the state of our once Great Britain 🇬🇧. No longer . It’s un recognisable now to these happier times . . Those are the best .proudestest times . Never to be seen by our eyes ever again . I weep for the fallen
Did you see the photo of the men queuing for free breakfast at the Salvation Army?
memory bias and hindsight bias. I swear the 1980's was the best time ever but then I forgot all the heart breaks and work-related nonsense and the aids and other challenges. I remember it being the best time for music, nights out judo and having my whole life ahead of me, not worried about coming to the end of my working career - which seemed so far away back then or those aches and pains getting out of bed now. But I am thankful for far more than I resent.
Hardly. The poverty and pollution then are horrifying. Look at what is on the feet of the boy selling bread...
@paulboizot If anyone is willing to give the same fee breakfast in 2024, You can see an even bigger crowd: a crowd of future British citizens-from Pakistan and from Bangladesh.

I am trying to picture the young people on these photographs with torn skinny jeans, trainers, hair down and mobile phones. Especially the three girls from 1890. They would not look any different from young people now.
Some of the best colorized photos i've seen. Great stuff.
Thank you so much !
That was awesome to see these people living in a different era. Thank you
😊👍
Incredible work done on the photos to give them a new lease of life.
Thank you very much !
Nice colouring work!

Beautiful photos indeed!!! ❤
The colourisation brings out individualism in the photos. Fantastic job.
Thank you so much!
Awesome. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
Loved every picture ❤
Thanks
//brings back memories going to the Liverpool pier after the war and taking the ferry to New Brighton so long ago loved the old photos my family is from England
I have family photos from the 1840's in Wales.Many from the 1860's 1870's
The 1840s ?? I find that very difficult to believe.
They were done by the Talbot and Llewellyn ( David Mary William ) also Mansel families of whom I am a Descendant.
@@Garwfechan-ry5lk Commercial portrait photography, according to what was my info, started in abt 1855 with `Carte de Visite` size photos. We have a lot of these plus the later `Cabinet Card` size photos. Im amazed to see that I was out by c15 years !
@@admiralbenbow5083 Please read about the Dillwyn ( Llewellyn) Family of Abertawe( Swansea) I have so much to say about this I could write for a week, but that I will not do ,Mary Llewellyn ( Dillwyn) was a pioneer of still photography and portraits, certainly in the 1840 to 1860 period all in Wales, where she would have known Fox Talbot as they were cousins, I am related to both through the Llewellyn ( Dillwyn) and Mansel families , She about 5 Years ago was given a Viewing at the Guggenheim in New York on loan from the National Museum of Wales.
I'm just devastated I will never get to meet Polly Swallow
14:10 Is not 1900, the ship is RMS Aquitania and she was not launched until 1914 (her funnels should be red with black tops), also check out the motor vehicles.
Yes a lot of guesswork,but then it would be wouldn't it as all of the source material is monochromatic.
That was amazing, fantastic work. It was great to see the portraits of the Duke Of Devonshire, as the paintings I've seen of him in Chatsworth House are the artist's representation, which, although probably accurate, don't bring him to life as much as your colourised photos do. As a keen photographer who has looked into the history of photography, I believe most pictures were posed in those days, so the people appear a bit stiff, but the colour really brings them to life!
LOL. They are uploads from other people's work. At least one of them is an AI generated photo.
WOW!!
Charlotte.1892
Stunning!
I hope You lived well
I LOVE what you've done here, thanks !!! But it's hilarious that every picture has "BS" proudly emblazoned on the screen !
😂🤣😂🤣
LOL. They are uploads from other people's work. At least one of them is an AI generated photo.
If you look carefully the 'BS' logo never moves from photo to photo...it's just embedded in the video.
@@warrenny Yes, I fully understood it was "embedded in the video," I did not seriously think for a second that a large number of photographers TOTALLY FLUKED putting "BS" in Gothic lettering in their photos, lol !! Nor did my words read like that ....
@@TomasFunes-rt8rd Gotcha....and my apologies if it seemed that I was laughing at you. I just found it funny about the logo being there.
I also pretty sure that these are uploads are from general sources that use AI colorization. I have seen the same photos with same color before.
@@warrenny Haha yes, thank you, it's yet another "instant, just add water" YT video...!!
Very impressive, and lovely to see something in the expressions we don't see today. My wife was not taken with the idea of having apologise at Christmas.
??
@@ianmorris4922 I was trying to make a point about the faces without referring to the effects of immigration. Just as an American face is identifiably different to an English one because of their different expression when smiling, I find these older English faces from the different classes shown differ from the faces I see today from non-immigrant British, less open and outgoing perhaps.
Oldest ever photos of 'England' - shows a British flag 🤦♂️
Excellent work with genuine looking colours
Thank you so much!
Love the elaborate clothes they wore.
Polly Swallow was definitely 'the fishmonger's daughter' ;)
hmm.. amazing stuff, and thank you. I think Spencer Cavendish [at 5:34] is actually Edward, Prince of Wales
before he became Edward VII [see separate photos of Spencer Cavendish for comparison.
What do you think?
Yes, definitely Edward VII
I thought it was Edward too, defo not a Cavendish.
Those people were actually living the good days, but at the time they didn't know it.
I sometimes day dream about living in the age of discovery. Yes, the danger and the hardship, but can you imagine signing up to an expedition to explore areas that no European, or person has ever seen? We haven't seen an age like that for at least 150 years. Although, these pictures represent the end of that era and more of the exploration of technology, it still thrills me to think living in that time.
Are you serious? for the working classes it was hell, for the poor and destitute Hell would have seemed like paradise. Please time travel back to Whitechapel in the 1880's spent a week or two in a workhouse or living on the street and then come back with your tales of how wonderful life was.
No, a lot of people were not living the good life, not even close. And who knows? Maybe some/many/all of the people we see here were having difficulties of some kind or another but putting on a cheerful face for the camera.
Read histories/novels of the time about the lives of ordinary people and you'll see it was no paradise. Even for the rich and famous it often wasn't; read about the sorrows of Queen Victoria no less.
Not unless you were rich, they weren't. And as for the later pictures, we know, and they didn't, what was on the horizon in 1914.
Whilst I admire the way these photos have been colourised, most of them are not that early. I have a collection of early photographs, many of them date from 1845-1885, the earliest are 1845 & 1856. Remember the first photograph wasn't made until 1826/27. The photograph of the Duke of Devonshire is a fake, the 9th Duke wasn't born until 1868. Furthermore you have not accredited the photographer to any image, why? genuine question.
I have seen photos from the 1840s. The Franklin Expedition Officers daguerrotypes photos. I'm not sure if any of the copies have been colorized.😊
6:34 I've seen this photo before and in that compilation the caption suggested that by the time this photo was taken the "tradition of subservience" was a bit of a joke. The relaxed and smiling faces of some of the men maybe supports that idea.
The first young lady, in the green skirt, appears to be getting into the spirit of the occasion with great enthusiasm 🌝
Interesting photos and nice colourisation but . . . the oldest ever photos of England? ? Isn't that a tad clickbaity. You must know surely that there are older photos than these taken in England by several decades . . .
Your recolourization is amazing. I may have just made up a word....
Great work love them
Really very interesting ! From France .
Have to say this is about your best to date Cheers!
Much appreciated
Gosh, how were the Victorian ladies able to breathe?? 😶 Lovely photos all. 👍👍
Thanks
'...how were the Victorian ladies able to breathe??'
With great difficulty, I believe. And on particulary smoggy days before the advent of smokeless fuels and electric central heating, a great many people found it rather difficult to breathe ...
Depends if they tight laced or not, plenty of fashion historians on youtube who can tell you that a bespoke fitted corset was actually quite comfortable and you could run, jump and work in them jsut fine. xx😀
As a Brummie now living in Auckland New Zealand nice to see some old pics of the second city (cant make out what street that was) plus lovely ladies.
16:38 Portrait of a lovely young lady, Preston, 1889. Her style of clothing looks like its from 1860 to 1869. Beautiful colorized photos ❤
Yes, I don't think they wore hoop skirts in the 1880s. That was the 1860s. Think Gone With The Wind!
The 'oldest ever' photographs taken in England date from the 1840s. Most of the photographs here are from 60 years later and are pre-dated by hundreds of older ones. It's a very misleading clickbait title.
In fact I think there are some early experimental pictures taken by Fox-Talbot from the 1830s!
There was a photo of London here from 1839
@@Anglo_Saxon1 'One swallow does not a summer make', as the old saying goes.
Still very interesting all the same. Thank you for showing these photos.
Really nice pics and I guess now they are colourised they look more modern and a joy to see. They seem to come alive in a way that B&W ones can't. Hopefully people will still enjoy the B&W versions as well though, as they are a part of history and have their own charm.
I found this fascinating and really hope they are genuine and not AI. If they are real, the quality of the colourisation is outstanding! 👏🏻
Err, the fact they have been colourised means they are AI, he didn't do it by hand but with his PC and they are digitised images not the originals. He did well though.
These are the people who built an empire, built England into a world force to be reckoned with, left us a golden legacy that we've frittered away, that sound of rolling thunder, it's them rotating in their graves, we owe them our deepest apologies.
Was mentioned as England alot at the time but was infact the 'British Empire'.
Yes,agreed,however things must get worse before they can get better.
Vote Reform and not Labour otherwise the floodgates will never close and we will never beable to begin to grow from within cus we'll constantly be in an expansion.(Government created purposely for £££ and outside agencies going👇👇👇(👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿).

STUNNING!
Am I the only person who is reminded of stills from movies when I see old photograpghs enhanced and colourised? Perhaps it's just because we are so used to seeing everything from before the 1950s in black and white photographs , , ,
Thanks 😊
What a beautiful young girl Charlotte is, having her photo taken whilst holding her doll. I would love to know how she lived her life!
Nicely done.😁
Thanks
I really enjoyed it but you are mistaken with one of the photos....it's not Spencer Cavendish, 8th Duke of Devonshire..it's actually King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales! The year is correct though 😊
The photography was with glass plates . The definition of these was long appreciated for recording objects in museums. Even in the 1950s and 60s.
Excellent!
Thanks a lot !
Surely the people with a servant would have more than one room. And the poor would not be able to afford high quality furniture like the box bed. Thank you for putting these great old photo on here and in colour they are great.
Thank you very much !
