Everyone dressed so much better than today. We look like slobs.😢

Back then, an England worth fighting for. Not so much now... I'm sorry to say this, but my country is not longer recognisable.

In Britain we call the sidewalk the pavement!. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

When I look at the era that way, it seems like everything was fine and elegant. And I feel like i want to live in that era. But I think we often tend to look past in a more romanticizing way.

Fascinating how much closer and more imaginable the scenes and people become when the photographs are colorized.

A quieter time when people seemed to be more human than they are today!!

many of these photos are not from the edwardian era which ended in 1910 ... but from some years later, after the WWI ( 1914-1918). It would be nice if there would be more accurate descriptions of the photos. Most dresses that were shorter than full legs length (which is edwardian design) appeared first during the WWI, as well as the dresses without corsets, due to the fact that women left at home while men were at war needed more freedom with their clothes when working or engaging in daily activities. Some of the dresses shown here are actually from 1918, 1920 or early 20s (the shorter ones).

I love the way you moved the photos up and down, sliding them effortlessly along! There was a lady ?driving a car , and the female Police officers, and of course the ladies who tried to get rights for other women x This was all excellent, thank you!

Track suits weren’t invented then lol they all look so elegant

call me old fashion i dont care but i looovvveeeddd how the women dressed back there the hairdos the clothes just beautiful i loved watchin mr selfridge too because of the fashion from that day thanks for uploading this i loved it kudos 😊🤩❤👍👵💐

When there's pictures were taken , who would think back then that they would be seen via net in our time amazing.

thank you for these! of course, most of the pictures were not of the working class. my mother was born in 1908 and my father 1913 and were very poor during their childhoods. i have pictures of my grandparents and they didn't look like most of these fine ladies and gentlemen!

Fascinating. I've often wished I could travel back & forth in time. Images like these help me get as close as I can to having that power. It's fun.

Hello from Russia. Thank you infinitely for your beautiful photographs of Edwardian England. Can watch them again and again.

If you compare that to the London of today, you can see just how far London has fallen..

still have my great great grandmother's silver handled umbrella with the steel shaft and her fine lace drape for her neck she was very fashionable

A few images look to be early 20s rather than Edwardian.

7.41 the tall building in the background is the former headquarters of the White Star shipping line in Liverpool. It still stands today (unlike the adjacent building) and has been converted into a Titanic themed hotel.

The era of my English grandparents. Many thanks.

Fascinating views but I noticed a couple of miscaptioned photos: 0:34 shows the Royal Exchange & Bank of England, and 2:29 shows Russell Street in Covent Garden.

Just a minor correction to point out. The photo 2:07 in entitled Everyday life in London 1910 is actually a photo of Newcastle upon Tyne’s Bigg Market with the Town Hall in the centre. Notice Bainbridge and Co which was Newcastle’s John Lewis Partnership and the local Risi’s and Mark Toney Ice cream stalls just outside.

The refreshment carts so charming.

Edwardian era is 1901-1910. Some of these are slightly later. Yet others are defintely 1920's. I suspect several of the dates are ether guesswork or wishful thinking.

Fascinating. Both the women's and men's coats and jackets very sturdy and durable. Would have kept people warmer than much of the mass produced stuff of today. The faces and postures of the people is so interesting. Wearing both the struggle, hardship, privilege and wealth of their lived experiences.

My grandmother was born in 1910 she saw fashion change dramatically as well as society and consumer goods she passed away in 1984

Thanks for sharing this amazing video 🎉

Wonderful video! Jack London wrote a book about life in the East End, published in 1905, called The People of the Abyss. These photos show the pretty side of life, mostly for the wealthy, but the reality for the poor was beyond our imagination. The disease, despair and filfth was like something you only see in the worst slums of developing countries nowadays. Just a warning for all those who see these images and think they represent everyday life. Also, the suffragettes were treated horribly, but you don't see that in these pictures.

Fascinating pictures. I love the one of the lady in the deckchair on the beach.

Loved it! Magnificent coloring and lovely photos. Wish some of those things were the same today. Thanks for all your work in bringing this to us.

Absolutely beautiful video! Thank you for sharing 🤩

Enjoyable! But I can't stop myself from pointing out: Right where you annotated, "Edwardian women loved experimenting with new fashion" [ 0:55 }, you showed a pic of post-WW1 women (I'll guess it's somewhere between 1919 and 1924; 'Edwardian' ended 1910.)

some of the pictures you describe as 'Edwardian' are post-WWI, in the early 1920s, but it is a lovely gallery of photos. When people say that they dressed better then please remember that these are mainly society photographs

Absolutely beautiful so sophisticated and elegant every where they go dressed so smart even at the beach what a beautiful era 🥰❤️

I always visit the Edwardian Festival in Bad Nauheim and de Haan, because the Edwardian age is my favorite time. Thank you for the fotos

Bellissime foto. 💯👌👏👍☘️Grazie per questo video

wonderful music great pictures thank you lovely

Elegance....a word that doesn't exist anymore....😢

The Edwardians were the sporting set. Fox hunting, shooting at the great estates and women being allowed to join in...It was a brief but very lively period.

Wonderful, and its amazing how clean the streets are!! No litter from cans, fast food, candy etc.

Amazing job on the colourisation of these stills... 😊

Remember, you’re only seeing the people that were photo worthy. Not everyone at that time wore the best dresses and fur shawls. Many people were regular working class without the fancy hats and, shoes and dresses.

Mon arrière-grand-père, sacré bricoleur à la recherche du mouvement perpétuel (avec son frère), achetait à Londres des machines à vapeurs (qui débarquées à Bordeau remontaient la Garonne sur des barges). Je l' ai reconnu dans une des images !

Thank you for this delightful showing, Just a point , music in back ground too modern & had to be turned VERY low, a distraction from a wonderful insight into my grandparents times.

I always think the Edwardian era is the last of the real olden days , when women wore long skirts etc , a wonderful record, Thankyou ❤your skills are much appreciated! Also my Grandmother who was a young woman in the Edwardian era , wore a corset until she died , in the 1960s , she thought she had to have the support.

It would be really wonderful to go through another clothing era just like this again clothing made to last wow wonderful thank you ❤🎩👒🌂

Most clear & laidback photos I have ever seen from this era. Thanks for sharing!

This is incredible work. Can't wait until we can make the old videos this good!

Fascinating. Thank you. I’m a Londoner and seeing Oxford street back then is a amazing. So so different now.

Wow! These pics are stunning. They're so vivid it's as if they were taken yesterday. Amazing. Great job!

I enjoy all your videos so much and appreciate the great amount of work that goes into each one. (Would you, therefore, allow me to offer a bit of constructive criticism? The musical accompaniment was all wrong; I had to switch off the sound. Obviously, music from the Edwardian era was required!)

These are wonderful and they really bring history to life, thank you.

These are fantastic. I love how the restoration gives such clarity - in particular that refreshment cart at 1:14. Fabulously interesting thanks for sharing. My family would have holidayed in Porlock every year from about 1977 to 1986. Wonderful to see The Ship Inn! 9:14

Danke für die tollen Fotos. ❤

I do think people dressed better back then...remember dressing up to fly ?

Thank you for those well preserved and uodated photos from that amazing era!!

What a treat - wonderful! ☺

Absolutely fascinating! Congratulations!

So interesting to see the photos in colour. The photo you have of The Ship Inn is actually in Porlock itself, locals call it the Top Ship, and is one of the oldest inns on Exmoor. There’s another Ship Inn at Porlock Weir which is known as the Bottom Ship. The Top Ship still looks very much the same now and both inns have very good food - to go with the friendly and welcoming interior (and staff). Well worth a visit if you’re in West Somerset! (No, I’m not on commission!)

We are no longer taking walks or talking to each other but stuck on iPads or phones that we forget how to interact with other people. I do remember playing outside having fun with friends and family going out to parks and camp sites for the day

Ty for this glorious look back in time. ❤

Correction to saying Edwardians were the last generation to wear corsets. Corsets fell out of favor in the 1920s. But many women (even teenagers) wore various types of corsets during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The style called "merry widows" puffed up the breasts and cinched in the waist hoping to achieve the ideal 16" waistline. Some corsets were full length, others covered the tummy and hips. Now age 82, I remember wearing corsets during junior high and senior high, but had fewer in the 1960s. We wore skirts and usually stockings if we went out in public, unless is was to a sports activity. Slacks were not allowed in my college classes.

Greetings from Santa Fe, ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 I very much enjoyed watching this picture collection. Thank you for sharing it.

It is super. Time in which my gran grand father was a young....

Thank you for sharing I love how these photos have been changed to show colour, the blue bowler hat did make me laugh, no way was that a thing in the Edwardian era it was fun though.

Awesome time travel!!! Thank you!!! ❤

Thank you so much for this video. And thank you for posting photos of active, accomplished women!

Before Invasion.

A crazy thought for me is that my early childhood memories stretch about halfway back to that time.

Great films. Wonderfully clear. Notice the woman driving a car (1909) women police officers that year too AND a woman police inspector plus women smoking...I was taught this at school but this knowledge has been conveniently lost by some women pushing an agenda. Glad to see the evidence.

Thank you SO MUCH fordoing this. Now THIS is technology being used for good! What a fascinating history lesson, in color, which makes everything and everyone from that era seem just that much more alive and real. LOVED the fashions of the times too, so lush!

Thank you very,very much,it's all coming together.

Wow it looks like today i love it,

An altogether more graceful and elegant age than the bad manners of today…!

This was the pinnacle of European Civilisation, After 1914, it was the beginning of the end, Just look around you today.

These are stunning, really bring the past back to life, thank you!

白黒画像だと過去の記録としか思えないけど、カラーだと現実に存在していた実感がありますね😄 でも、既に遠い過去でしか無いので、何というかその時代を模したリアルな芝居を見ているような不思議な感覚ですね😄

I love the styles of this time period. Great coloring effect!

Loved it so much, thank you!

Thank you!

Fantastic! My great Grandfather was always suited and booted and looked so smart. People back then seemed to be proud with a sense of purpose. Meanwhile today, what can you say?

This is marvelous. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for your channel, I love it! ♥🖤🪄 I love vintage, history, arts! 🤎

impresionante el color..!!!!! .. perfecta la remestarizacion...

All of a sudden I feel like I was there, I know those dresses and streets...I kind of remember it...😢

Thank you, it was wonderful!

Very interesting especially the London location photos. Interesting how many cars & automated buses & vans in 1910! A small point a few of the picture (in the middle) are clearly later than the Edwardian Era, post WW1 from the women’s dresses. The one with the policeman for example & the three women posing - wouldn’t have been dressed like that before 1920. Corsets were essential for women until the early 1920s which dictated a fitted not flowing silhouette plus the hem lines are too high for pre 1914.

so cool!

Look at the refreshment trolley no plastic so sophisticated ❤

Amazing photos! I love looking at these ❤🙏🏻

The ‘busy scene in Central London’ @2:30 is Covent Garden, not Regent Street or Oxford Street

Wow superb restoration cant believe how good they look!

thanks for sharing

Beautifully edited and presented, loved it , definitely Bright and Stylish!

And not a foreigner in sight. Good times.

Enjoyed it - thanks 😀

Thank you.

These are wonderful photographs. Thank you.

Job well done! Really makes the past seem "real" to see it in living color. Thank you!!!

09:53 This is the London Bridge that, when it was replaced a few decades ago, it was disassembled and shipped to the United States of America. It is located now, fully reassembled with every stone put back precisely in the same place, in Lake Havasu City, AZ, over the lake. I think it is a pedestrian bridge now, and a big draw for the tourists. It is, I'm pretty sure, the bridge that is referred to in the traditional children's song about London Bridge "falling down, falling down".
