I really loves these films. So nostalgic. I was born and grew up in Bermondsey which is now another planet by comparison. It was great to see the Apples & Pears pub.
Absolutely, I miss my London, the beautiful people and the beautiful community which we had...what it's turned in to now makes me so angry and it's all thanks to the people who are there now!!!
Could not agree with you ore, People now seemeither on the defensive or attack. As a child my old mum go clear snow from from the old peoples step and path, run errands and we were not allowed to take 3d bits from them. Curtains were pulled in the street if a neighbour passed away. We have lost so many true values and the real Londerners have all but dissappeared. Loved the videa again many memories. Thank you Steve formemories of Walworthis
Always makes me laugh when people make these statements...my grandparents found a home in London in the 60's. They weren't made welcome....but strange that excuses are made for lazy brits and bad parenting now....
Brilliant collection of photos and memories for me. My entire family were born and bred within this area. Now we’ve all moved out and rarely see one another. How times have changed, seems very sad somehow.
@@PatrickThomasLong Hi Patrick, I’m fairly certain of my recent family tree and there are no Patricks. Unless there is something my old dad never told me about. 😂
Thank-you I worked in Southwark in various locations late 70's Peckham 80's Camberwell 90's Rotherhithe,Bermondsey so I am vary familiar with the areas. Particularly as I later worked with Older People who spoke about going on days out,going hopping etc
Wonderful. Lived opposite The Good Intent in East Lane. Remember going to The Apples and Pears around 1978 and seeing the lead guitarist of "Stan's Blues Band" which became "Nine Below Zero" having such a long lead that he was playing in the street outside..haha
I said the same about the 1970's when the picture of the Apples & Pears came up, I remember seeing 9 Below Zero there. Was a great little venue as I recall.
@@Isleofskye I don't live that far away now, I'm living in Morden. My local pub is in Raynes Park, called the Cavern Freehouse. It has had, and will have again, some great live bands.
Thanks,My Friend.My memories on Morden were getting off at the end of the Northern Line to play "pitch and putt" there. They had a couple of courses,I think (might have been just one ) and I wonder if that is still there? That would have been around 1970-73 b4 you moved there. My Grammar School opposite The Oval Cricket Ground did not have it's own playing fields so once a week we trudged up from Vauxhall to Motspur Park which from memory on the overground ended after Earlsfield with Worcester then Raynes then Motspur Park (S)...:)
@@Isleofskye I dont live that far from where the pitch & putt course used to be. You can still make it out, but its not used anymore. I used to go the Merton Technical College, which is there. Small world ain't it?
I was born in Peckham and lived in Walworth Road, and Camberwell. I worked in a Jewellers in Denmark Hill called 'Harvey & Thompsons Ltd'. The world is a different planet now, not so enjoyable though.
I lived in Peckham but worked at P&L shoe Repairs 2a Coldharbour Lane where it joins Denmark Hill, great times now London is a dump , heartbreaking to think we could walk around with no problem and now its just Ghetto
Very and viewed ith some sadness, I now live in a beautiful house, 3 acre garden in the CountryWhen was I the happiest?? Would I give it all up to turn the clock back,yes I think so, @@dickc906
The good thing about old photographs, especially from the early part of the last century, is that they bear witness as to what the demographic of Britain was like, in spite of certain people nowadays trying to rewrite history and have us, and future generations, believe it was like.

who's idea was it to put a singer with a yank accent on the vid?. why didn't you go for the beach boy's or some other 'non Beitish' cultural icons, how thick are some pple ffs,
Etty Phant. First of all, swearing (even with letters) just highlights a low mentality. This is made worse by your incorrect assumption that the singer has an American accent when she's from Belgium. The song was chosen to avoid copyright issues with CZcams and to capture a 'moment in time' if that's not too difficult for you to comprehend. It's amazing how many people actually enjoy the videos but there's always one who finds the time to moan and criticise. How sad.
English my lovely, do you speak it....I mean if you're gonna have a rant about " the beach boys " being cultural English icons, at least learn to speak it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful to see photos of Communities posing together outside a pub or in the street, all gone now sadly.
That brought me to the brink of tears. My world and my memories. The best version of the song that I've heard.
Oh luvly. Sad how things have changed

Great to see Payton place SE17 again. Where my grandparents lived. Great memories of there and east street market.
I'm just glad, my grandparents never had to see the state , london has become it would break their 💕
Yes, who would have thought it would be turned into a diversity hell-scape within the space of a few decades.

Great pics from great times , no complications just people getting on.
Some great memories x back in time x
It made my mouth water at 2.37 when I saw Kennedys van , the best sausages I ever had, shame their gone now
Me too, my mum and dad used to buy them from the Kennedy’s shop in Rye Lane. I remember they used to buy me a ‘fruit jelly’ to eat. Happy days.

John, any chance we're related? My uncle (John Long) was killed in the Druid Street Arch bombing in February 1941. Regards: Patrick Long

Hi Patrick, I’m fairly certain of my recent family tree and there are no Patricks. Unless there is something my old dad never told me about. 😂
The workmen on the road. Very clean and in their Sunday best. Any explanation? ...... Beautiful pics, thankyou ......
That was brilliant, thank you.
Bermondsey born and bred.
Nicely put together with very emotive music. Where HAS this all disappeared to. Poxy immigrants!
My Mum always said the happiest times she had were pushing her pram down the Walworth Road! We lived in Addington Square at the time. 🥰
How much this area has changed compared to when i was younger.Its awful now which is quite sad

Use to drink in the Lilliput Tavern in the early 80s on the Old Jamaica Road
NO STABBING BACK THEN!!!!!!
There's always been murder and crime it's as old as human existence. Shakespeare is full of it!
No, no crime whatsoever 🙄

I've never seen Galleywall Road like that - before it was bombed.
