The narration is fine. She sounds knowledgeable and academic. Everybody in the media these days to be so hyped up and 'passionate' about everything we forget what a normal, intelligent voice sounds like.
words can't express how amazing these videos are.
All of those people waving would not be able to even imagine people watching this film 107 years later at a personnal computer in there houses on a website being able to be viewed by millions of people worldwide just at the click of a button, how everything has changed.
A lovely clip and well narrated. Thanks.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful....everyone dressed so fine in their Sunday best ...🇨🇦
Delovely, Here in Maine we still have a pier at Old Orchard Beach.
Time stands still for no one
Humbling to watch and to think of the lives all the people in the video had and faced in upcoming years with the advent of world war 1 and 2 and realise that they are all long gone now...🌹
Nice to see the old 'Dreadnaught' Trams in service. It was these that the current fleet of 'Balloon' Trams replaced in 1934/5.
Can you imagine 'Health & Safety' allowing these in normal service- nowerdays? With their steep open staircase leading directly onto the Track, so that the Tram behind can knock the alighting passengers over !!!!
Interesting to me because my Gran was born one month before this was filmed. To see the fashions and people of that year is like looking back at the world my Gran was born into. Also, some of these guys were no doubt from Preston, where she was born.
the little kids look so cute :3
Could see me livng back then.
Fascinating ! Sharp, brilliant images.
This is wonderful !
Why has noone tried to upscale to 4K and colourise any of these Mitchell and Kenyon films?.
I'm afraid even the little children in this film will be long gone...its 104 years ago!
Watching the faces of the young boy's and men, sadly they don't know what awaits them in ten years time...
When you think about it, it's just as well none of us really know what's coming. Just a thought...
OMG - How fascinating from all that time ago and all on film. The little children there will no doubt have had their children and so on how blackppol has made a big impact and great memories as a child even now as a grown up.
this is lovely.cant beet Black and white photos ,,,
Time and Tide so the saying goes.......but its wonderful we have these images...
Wonder how many of the young boys seen here would be at front in 10 yrs?
Exactly what I thought watching all these. Very bittersweet indeed.
Totally exotic architecture with Indian and Indo china influences. The architecture of traveling. Architects clearly brought a wind of exotism, but nowadays, most of people do not understand these connections, they look at it without awareness.
I disagree. I prefer the emotionless monotone style of commentary. It allows me to have my own thoughts and emotions about these pieces of film.
now I know what inspired bioshock infinite, this footage is amazing
no I meant me as a child - the memories I have and even now as an adult I have great memories and photos lol.
What a shame. Blackpools now become a dump
Become? Its always been a dump.
Never forget what they have taken from us.
1:12 "Hello CZcams!!!"
I had the same thought .The people looked so real and I wondered how many actually died in the great war,,
Black pool❤❤🙏👼🌠
Odd a lot of those fixtures and fittings are still there
These Mitchell & Kenyon films were light years in advance of Edison & his lackeys.
like sands through the hour glass.....so are the days of our lives. (american soap opera as well).
Bracing sea air. You can say that again. I live there lol.
why did everybody wear flat caps in olden days?
lol. 1:48, little girl looks pissed off!!
Did you see the two blokes fighting in the background? Amazing, onlookers were making bets!!?? Why didn't they stop them from fighting?
@kennethj1956 where are the fighting men?
Appallingly!
Had to turn the volume down. Was same shouting from every program about the turn of the century that I see. Sure, people talked loudly back then, but this is the same shouting on every show. How about a bit of variety of voices and volume? Thanks.
which pier is the victoria pier?
north, central or south?
south
from Brasil
just normal people like us..100years ago.
👍👌👏😊❤️🇺🇲
why are they not on pepsi max

Dead!......All Dead.
Every last one of em are dead and gone.
Even the babies.
How sad.......
We are right behind them, death is a part of life, something we all to face. At least we are blessed with this existence if only for a while. 🙂
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”

Hmm. It must be winter. I don't see anyone in gym shorts and a tank top.
ok
the poor male children in this most would have gone to the great war in 1914
*_They’re all dead._*
Great pictures and music, but the narration SUX!
a lot of hipsters back then
I could've narrated it better...
Women back then dress code moral, modest and lady etc... unlike this lot wearing g string, bikinis and naked. Is somehow freedom , liberty. What a joke
Contraception opened women up to ‘so called’ sexual freedom and their femininity went with it
I agree. These films are terrific, but the narrator is dreadful. She may be an accomplished academic, but the flat monotone has all the enthusiasm as if she were narrating a film that showed potatoes growing.
did u see black man??? i didnt....
When will this woman;s commentary be critcised? No heart, no understanding of humanity - social worker at play. Terrible.
Narrator sounds like she's reading it straight off a paper. No emotion, no experience. Dreadful.
