Thanks Larry, you have reduced to me to tears ( again) someone once said " the past is another country" i think that as far as we old timers are concerned...he was spot on.
And not a mobile phone in sight! yet children still played, men and women still worked things got done, life might have been hard at times but at least it was reality. Thanks for all your videos, I'm not from London but from the same era.
the photo of the johnie walker bonded warehouse in commercial road was taken from morrison buildings south,the north block still exists.i lived in them buildings.and the picture of the 3 boys on the bombsite playing on the fire is me and my 2 brothers,the eldest with the very noticeable rickets...loved them days tho.
Superb again I’m reminded that many of people in the photos had a dream that one day poverty would not stop you seeking medical help and there would be hospitals and go to for all regardless of class income or background As we come hopefully out of this Covid Pandemic and our NHS has creaked and groaned under the pressure that these fought for a National Health Service and ensured their dream was fulfilled by Politicians thru thick and thin and the NHS has saved many live unlike country without a National Health Service so we should thank them and God Bless Them (whichever God they have) for persevering to put it place…
Why do mindless idiots have to comment about the impact of the influx of foreign nationals into the UK! The aim is to keep this channel free from hatred and inflammable debate and in stead to be a joy to watch, friendly and respectful. So just enjoy this old footage! By all means DO share your own or your (grand) parent's experiences of how life was in London in the 1960's!
