A wonderful trip through Shakespeare's land in 1910 in colour! [A.I. enhanced & Colorized] 

*I hope you will enjoy this film* Don't forget to *subscribe* and also watch the other 200+ videos on my channel! *Please press the CC captions button to read the locations while the film plays* and please *don't* comment that "Everybody in this film is now dead". I have seen that comment now about 1000 times under my films... So cliché!

The gate system at 03:24 fascinating

Wish the country still looked like this. Only when everything has been ground down can we see what has been truly lost.

Watching this made me quite emotional... What have we done to our world.

I've never - ever seen anything like that some gate before . It's genius .

For what was and is no more, I could weep.

How beautiful England was. So calm, peaceful and serene.

Electric trolleys, bicycles, and sheep for lawnmowers-- we're now trying to get back what we had 110 years ago.

Beautiful, but heartbreaking. Stratford -Upon-Avon has been turned into a Theme Park, and much of the countryside has been lost to Motorways and the High-Speed 2 vanity project

The “some gate” is the Stepping Gate in Charlecote Park, Charlecote House and Park still very much exists and belongs to to the National Trust. Closed through Covid but hopefully will be opening again very soon.

This must be such a blessing for English folks to see.

This is beautiful. It is the England I imagine... even as I live in the England of 2021.

I would give anything to have lived at that TIME of LIFE.....People Dressed so BEAUTIFUL and LIFE had to be a little more slow than the way we live today....The men crossing over the gate the FIRST ONE OMG how HANDSOME that Young man was and the other were also BEAUTIFUL and so well DRESSED...I just LOVE seeing how life used to BE......I do not know WHY but when I see this they make me what to cry 😢.....

Wow, Thank you so much, This old world we see wasn't that long ago but is so so different from any thing today, what a contrast.

The young boys are fascinated by the camera, so perfect it almost looks like a movie set

This is lovely I was born in Stratford upon Avon and my parents and grandparents worked the land and infact my father has just retired at 82 and by the special gate I think it could be charlecote park it's a national trust place now, this is very interesting this is really nice

A video like this certainly makes one feel that the world was very much more beautiful one hundred years ago.

I live in Stratford so watching this was amazing! Loved the curiosity from the young boys watching whoever was filming.

This is why they call it the good old days, a time when the world was a more simple place and respect and decency ruled. Not saying everything was perfect, what is? But today’s world is rather shocking in comparison

Not sure why this popped up in recommended, but I have lived in the area (Stratford-upon-Avon and Wellesbourne) for almost 40 years. And its fascinating to see all these local places in the past! Thank you for uploading. Awesome video!

Crazy to see people just living their lives over 100 years ago and knowing every single one them is no longer with us. We all will eventually be there one day as nothing lasts forever 😔 If only the buildings and castles could talk ❤️

Hauntingly beautiful music and scenery. So evocative and poignant. So serene. Little did the people going about their daily lives know what lay ahead of them. Those poor young men would probably have gone to fight in the first world war. The young boys would have fought in the second world war. Unimaginable grief. Thank you Rick for your work. I am so glad your chanel found me. From Dublin.

RU-vid never ceases to amaze me. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible amazing quality film of a bygone period. Obviously it was coloured at a later stage, but whoever did it was a true expert.

Something wonderful always strikes me in these old films. All these people are long dead. And soon, so will you and I. Get living today. Don't engage in activities that divide us. Ignore the noise of the media and pursue the things that make you happy. This life is short but sweet and every day above the dirt is a good one. The void of infinite oblivion is forever. All we have is now.

I find these restored, colorized, films fascinating. It really makes history come alive for me. Thanks for this.

I am the first brazilian to comment in English, what a beautiful image, one of the stages of the great writer Shakespeare. Wherever he went and created his great works.

Enchanting it's like being in a beautiful dream. I wonder if the people in this video realized just how fortunate they were living in such a magnificent place & at a very special time.

Just to be able to step into the screen and take in the scenery and the peace that was then, no noisy cars, buses, trains or airplanes, a few yes maybe early vehicles but non compared to now, just the birds and bees of nature, pure bliss.

I was born in Warwickshire, it is "home" to me. This video was utterly delightful as I saw places that I know. I am amazed at how little has actually changed in the parts that I know best, especially Stratford. The scenes outside the Birthplace, the grammar school and Anne Hathaway's could have been taken from a recent film set in the period. The deer park at Charlecote was instantly recognisable as was the view along the Avon towards Holy Trinity. I did not need to use my imagination to see myself there in 1910. People believe that this country is now a worse place, yet whilst it is not perfect, much is better than during 1910. Grinding poverty was commonplace. People died of diseases now controlled, or from working conditions now regulated. I certainly would not want to give up my central heating, double glazing, fridge, freezer, nor Internet to live in the rose-tinted times that never really existed. My grandparents lived then, and after the FWW moved into the house that is now mine. If I could go back and show them life today I'm sure that they would choose my version of the house instead of theirs. As Gladys Knight says at the start of the song "Try to Remember": Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the good old days, right Everybody, the good old days, the good old days Well, let's talk about the good old days Come to think of it as, as bad as we think they are these will become the good old days for our children So many look back, usually through rose-tinted glasses, and think the past is better than it was. In some ways it was, in many ways it was not. Much as I enjoy watching a video like this, getting a buzz of "feel-good" from it, I'm very happy to have the benefits of today. I certainly would not want to be transported back.

Great film , thanks for taking the time to do this.. On all these old films it always amazes me how clean the streets were. The effects of no fast food waste and people really caring about the places they lived in.

Beautiful, and irenic. I'm sure their daily lives were challenging like ours, but man, everything was so beautiful.

So beautiful. A reminder that things don't always get better and better.

This was phenomenal. I don’t have the words that will express the emotions you provoked. I was lamenting about a distant place, in a storied history back in time and I was longing for days in places I’ve never lived. That’s an accomplishment of some of our greatest film makers. I liked the virtual excursion of a tiny segment of British history. If I may, “good show”.

My grandpa was 1yo and my grandma (his "future" wife) was about to be born yet... Unbeliavable, thank you so much for upload ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely fantastic, and the music. Thanks from Australia

I just found you completely by accident, and it’s made my day ! My dear old Grandfather was born in Warwick , he used to tell me many stories of his younger days in the area including visits to the cape ( possibly a pub near water , I believe) ..... how wonderful those way gone times were for him . He later went to work for Vickers Armstrongs as an Engineer throughout WW2 with his sons . I’m now in my seventies, so this really is a real delight to see . Many thanks for bringing life into my memories. 🙏🏼❤️

The film was edited perfectly . Congrats mate for display it.

Marvellous. Thanks for sharing.

And one day people will watch videos of life in 2021 and wonder how it was so beautiful back then.

This is wonderful. Thank you. England before the collapse of civilization

‘Some Gate’ is still there and the same design, still used today, to walk alongside Charlecote Garden Centre 😃

I would like to have a conversation with the people in this film, to understand their thoughts about life and the world.

These videos are pure gold... I will never get tired of watching them, everything seems so calm, beautiful and different, it's like seeing another completely different world. Thank you so much for your work! If it wasn't for this channel and others, I wouldn't be able to see these coloured and restored old videos.

This is so amazing, great choice on the music too, very mystical feeling. How time is such an interesting thing

Tancks for your films.From Spain.🌍

1910 was the year when my grandmother was born. (She has passed away in 2002.) This was Great Britain`s most glorious period.

Just Brilliant, thank you....

Beautiful! The colour makes these scenes truely alive. Thank you!

Thank you. Such beautiful rehabbed footage. Well done. So romantic to be transported to a time before major technology when people talked and went for strolls in their finest clothes. I am almost envious even though I know they had their challenges. Light to all. 🙏💜🕊

Beautiful

A beautiful reproduction. You are so talented and your channel gives so much joy. Thankyou again from the Midlands of England.

I clicked this to see the fashions, and was delighted to get the surprise of seeing Marie Corelli's home! I really did not expect that, but how wonderful!

It seems so simple, quiet and peaceful back then, also too it reminds me of some of the old paintings of famous artists

How peaceful and unhurried it all seems!

What an idyllic world it looks. Wonderful, as you say!

I was borne here ,and at 76 just moved back after living in USA Cornwall and lots of other places in U.K. .l love it and these old phots

Starting to see motor cars; a lot less people. The 20th century changed civilisation so much, & our brains still haven't caught up! Thank you so much for posting this 👍

When England was still beautiful England!

Back when England was .... well, England. R.I.P. Old Blighty. We miss you greatly.

I have family living in this area and the video is amazing to watch…how beautiful England was!

What a beautiful video of our green and fair land, or once was.

The algorithm paints the black costumes black, but it paints the trams purple. Why is that? It's fantastic to see Guy's Cliffe, when it had not fallen into disrepair yet, and before it burnt down. What a magnificent, magical place !! Same goes for the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, before the fire of 1926.

God knows, i’ve seen so many colorized films, that have been enhanced, over time and yet that were very well done, but never as good as this one. As opposed to some other colorized movie films, appearing to glossy and leaving to much of a tinted purple reflexion shade around the images, the colors on this motion picture seem so revealingly beautiful, but most of all very natural. Thank you. Johnny, Montréal, Canada.

This is amazing to watch. I worked in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2014 and when I walked to work I always wondered what it used to look like 100+ years ago. Thank you for this ❤

I'm mesmerized by old pictures and videos.the babies in pram have even grown old and gone.some how I can't explain my fascination with the past

Pure golden era... Then the war came and all things changed... Those blue remembered hills..!

How peaceful it all seems without the wholesale invasion of the internal combustion engine. The "gate" at 3:22 is called a "clapper stile" if I remember my "I-Spy in the Countryside" book correctly - you wouldn't want to let go of the "clappers" when you were astride it, that's for sure! The caption writer at 4:11 wants to brush up on his grammar "Grammer School". I ask you! The young lady outside Marie Corelli's house at 6:24 looks a bit "fast", no wonder the lady in the black dress is having a stern word with her! The location??ed at:4:46 is the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, rather than the ancient building which is captioned as such. It was built in 1879, but destroyed by fire in 1926. Fotunately the Library and Art Gallery survived, and the treasures including Shakespeare first folios, and historic paintings kept therein were saved. The rebuilt theatre reopened in 1932.

Such pristine roads, clear of all disfigurements !

If i could go back to when things were like that i wouldn't hesitate

I'm not entirely convinced we've made what could be loosely termed as "progress".

Incredible and to think that this is less than 300 years after Shakespeare's death.

It's obvious that the film was heavily damaged by the time the restoration began. The fact that it looks this good is a testament to your skills. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, our old way of life was taken from us, and it can be hard to watch footage like this and realise just how much we have lost, but do not forget, we can get this back, there is always hope.

This is so wonderful! And the song makes it even more nostalgic

RU-vid needs a ❤️ button for uploads such as these, rather than a generic thumbs-up.

I have been looking for old footage of Leamington for a long time. I moved here from Ireland in 1994. This footage reminds me a lot of home.

I'm so glad these films have been saved and to a large extent restored. So lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful, so rich in history, thank you for sharing

When someone says what is England show them this

Absolutely beautiful, tranquil music.....despite WW1 being only 4 years away, the country seemed a much calmer place.....

wonderful to see where Shakespeare was born, Strappon Avon, in 1910.

I enjoy all your videos it takes me into the past that i never lived, it looks so tranquil and at ease, no BS that we are currently witnessing and no Tech either, i would love to time travel back to the late 19th or early 20th century.

Amazing footage, so poignant only 4 years until WW1. Nice vehicles love the motor bike and sidecar on the bridge and that gate !!!! want one of those. 🥰👍

Guys Cliffe. Forever in my heart.

Thank you so much. Stunning. Watching your upload was an marvelous but also, if I may, a sad experience. That is an England that has gone forever

Oh wow! Thank you for this video it's simply wonderful and so relaxing...

I was born and bred in Sona and this is better than what I was taught or even saw - photos are awesome, hope (with locals) to render truthful the comments.

I’ve been watching a lot of these once enhanced videos of bygone eras lately. It amazes me to see recordings from over a hundred years ago, once so inaccessible and grainy looking, now so crisp and defined. It almost feels as though I could catch a train tomorrow and visit these places, with the people in it, exactly as it is here....a little like in The Twilight Zone episode “A Stop at Willoughby”.

It's wonderful how colour brings these old films to life.

The automotive industry changed everything. The people would be suprisingly similar to us. Time is a human concept.

Wonderful countryside! And not overcrowded yet!...

Stunning. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Stunning work...thank you

I feel it was a different time in that they may not have felt the nostalgia and lost world if they, the people in the film, had looked back a 100 years from then. Feels like a time of quiet acceptance....and why are there no more beautiful profound buildings, castles being built? It's all concrete and steel.

Very beautyfull 👍🏻 thanks for all the work you have done.

This is so wonderful, but like so many others have stated in their review, little did they know what was in store for them. So many of those in the film probably lost their lives in the coming conflicts. Who knows what life holds in store for us in the next few years? Life looked so peaceful and tranquil then. Sad it can’t be like that today. Thanks for uploading this Rick. Amazing!

Rick. These videos are the best I've ever seen. Absolutely mind blowing. Thanks very much indeed!

The gate alone is worth a subscription.

Just sublime. 💖

So pure and clean landscape!
