This channel is about showing the past through old and often lost film, both amatuer and professionally made.
You are welcome to share a link to any of my films, but if doing so I appreciate the following credit: Original film courtesy of maxustaxus at...url.
All you see is from real old film which has been bought privately by me in order to show here, or made by myself.
I am based in Southern England, and am always happy to negotiate if you have a collection of film you wish to move on.
If you have any queries, or would like a license to use an un-watermarked part of any film (which I can supply), please contact me at my email address. moggle.dedoogledogs@ntlworld.com.
CUNARD ADVENTURER was a very interesting ship of the first generation of cruise ships. CUNARD was not happy with her and her sister ship. But if you are used to CUNARD, and you are served cheap plastic furnishings, it is because of the furnishings if the guests are not "CUNARD SATISFIED". Later owners made good money with her until she was scrapped in 2014.
I'm sure I won't be the only one to come here after Chris Harris' recommendation. Great fun to watch and nice to see the old roads they had to use before the M4 was completed.
What a load of crap.. I did two police driving courses in two forces...3 weeks residential. Not 3 years. No tie needed ! 1969 and 1971. I was told that if I indicated to turn when there was no other car near, I would be failed. "Who are you signaling to? You are unaware of other road users ! I do that here in Wisconsin in 2024, and her indoors (yankesse), does not agree !
Great nostalgic video, thank you. Interestingly, had you done the modern video earlier this year (2024) the comparison with the Eagle building under construction with cranes etc, would have looked surprisingly similar, only in reverse!
He was a USELES M.P and more inempt Prime minister...LIEBOUR are treasonous cowardly appeasing politicians.....✝️🇬🇧✝️🇬🇧✝️🇬🇧 REFORM for our children's future more importantly for their safety 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✝️✝️✝️
Happy memories of our IoM holidays in the 60s. I remember walking across the headland from Port Erin to Port St Mary past the limestone Chasms! I notice lots of men still wore their ties, even on the beach!
Idea for a programme called London to Bath in a jaguar Mk2 based on top gears race format where I navigate the distance driving only on b roads vs somebody on public transport………. Called London to Bath in a mk2 via b roads. With Alan Partridge.
Great footage, gives me a sense of what my dad experienced, My Dad was called up for national Service 1949, initially for a few weeks at RAF Padgate, then RAF Bridgenorth Aug- Oct 1949 and finally to we believe RAF Waddington.
Some of these comments sound like my grandmother, which is very amusing to me. What I love about this video is seeing what has changed and what hasn't, it shows how the character of cities is at the same time static and dynamic. Time travelers from the future will no doubt confirm the gold-leaf on the statehouse, swan boats in the public garden and the Charles will still be here 50 years from now. But who knows what the skyline will look like? Will there be a new and improved public transit system? A lot of nostalgia about the past, but does anybody dream about a better future like they used to back in the 50's & 60's? Seems to me that's often forgotten, that we used to be a very optimistic country.
A very interesting post. I agree that a positive vision for the future has been the zeitgeist in some eras past...but I suspect this has been born from times that felt confidence in their place. Ages when folk had an inherent sense of secure identity, belonging, and common purpose, because change was gradual and under control. In less certain times the future can be seen as dangerous...because it is. It becomes less predictable, and history shows us that such disjointed social order leads to violent change. No one can halt change. But this does not mean all change is for the better simply because it is inevitable, and especially when the rate of change is beyond that which most ordinary humans have evolved to cope with.
@@maxustaxus Thank you. And yes very true about change not always being good especially when the rate is too much for regular people. I tend to have a lot of thoughts about nostalgia and the future because I'm in a sandwich generation - where I'll be asked to help aging parents/in-laws while still trying to raise kids. And it makes me feel very split sometimes. What and how much from the past do I hang onto, treasure and pass on to my kids? What and how much is outdated and needs to tossed aside? My kids are too young to live in the past, and I think raising them to believe the future can be better is surely more healthy for them than the opposite. Just trying my best to balance things.
Wonderful video, thank you. Brought back memories of a city I loved growing up in. People dressed nicely, and had manners, and good clean fun. Thank you so much.
Looks like a beautiful place back then looks like a beautiful place a long time ago in a land far away I would have loved to went there and looked over that walkway simply gorgeous it looks like it smelled great
I sailed on her a few times both ways to and from Lagos and to and from Liverpool and Southampton. I have many memories, but not as many had I been an adult at the time. Thanks very much for the video
This movie was made in 1987, Microsoft went public 1986. Amazon wasn’t even a vision back then. Boeing was respectable back then & McDonnell/Douglas wasn’t imploding things like they are today. Seattle followed Boeings every command like pawns. The 1980s was a great moment for Seattle to clean up its streets & present itself to the world & hope someone might notice. That moment came in 1990 when Seattle hosted the Goodwill Games, a big thing back then & the weather was perfect Larry King hosted the games & remarked after looking out the window of his studio, the sun setting behind the Olympic Mountains with a slight fog majestically colored from the sun, “look at that” Larry shouted LOOK AT THAT! Yesterday it was 96° & now its 69° just amazing it feels great looks beautiful i have never experienced this before ever, look at that!” And i guess people were looking. Seattle looks somewhat like it did in 1987, today it ranks as a World Class City for being a tourist destination, a business destination, expensive & unaffordable & that is no small accomplishment.
