Exactly what brown Indians said when white Brits were helping themselves to the equivalate of $45 trillion from the Indian economy over 200 years while press ganging four million Indian soldiers to fight Britain's wars from 1914-1918 and then again from 1939-1945. If that wasn't bad enough, Indians were banned from entering certain places in their own country by their colonial white rulers. I'm sure they also said, our once great capital city now conquered territory" to which their white rulers replied, Fcuk you!
@@sudgur990 They weren't press ganged . No one from the empire was forced to fight and that makes you a liar. As for trade people both sides made vast profits only India never put it to use for the greater good . By the way we are sending £55 million this year and have been doing so for decades. You still have people shiting in the street though.
@@keithrose6931 Selective history lessons meant colonial history was never taught properly in schools and therefore there's no recognition of the wrongs that were done. i.e the atrocities and devastation the Empire caused. The fact that Britain financed its industrial revolution and its prosperity from the depredation of the Empire. The fact that Britain come to one of the riches countries in the world in the early 18th century and reduced it after 200 years of plunder to one of the poorest. In a post Brexit world Uk are doing their utmost best to secure trade opportunities with India. Expect Britain to relax their immigration rules to secure a trade deal
Sud Gur. Clearly you have a chip on your shoulder. Take them elsewhere, preferable to another country because you're living off us not or doesn't that count.
Born in Westmoreland rd 15 doors away from the Old hpor glas but used the new hour glassin my Teensplus many of them on this wonderul page, drank on a regular basis in thecottage of content, the surrey arms the behive, queen Elizabet and the temple bar between 1959 1965, when I left London. Lovely memoties, Thanks for dsharing
Terrific video and accompanying music - loved seeing some of the old pubs that I used to visit with my Dad - quite often stood outside with a bag of crisps and a bottle of pop, lol. Remember the Surrey Arms Hotel on the corner of Manor Place and Delverton Road - it was called 'Roses' by everyone, I think because one of the etched windows had an advert for Roses Gin. Lucky it survived, because a lot of the windows regularly had a chair thrown through them on a rowdy Saturday night in the '50s and early '60s when I was a kid growing up in Marsland and Tarver Road. Thank you.
I'm not a drinker. I lived opposite THe Good Intent for 29 years and never once entered but this was a great and educative video. I moved from Walworth to Bexley after 29 wonderful years in 1983 and STILL miss it every day. The Suburbs is fine bit soooooo quiet after living over East Lane Market by The Walworth Road with The Old Kent Road at the other end...
Grew up living in Saltwood grove, Date street and Portland street, and went to Michael Faraday School, from 1947 to 1973 when I moved to Colchester. The Temple Bar was a favourite at the weekend for the groups and singers. I used Georges barbers next door for most of those years. Wouldn't want to go back there now, sooo changed.
@@DingBatSplat Thanks, My Friend though 26 years is a long time at Michael Faraday :) Funnily enough in 1959, I was within days of starting there when my Grandad died and we had to move to near East Lane market and so I went to St.Peters. Not only has it changed enormously, but in the last 3 years it is unrecognizable with £1,000,000 Flats at The Elephant and the view from The Elephant with the Shopping Centre and Heygate EState all gone looks COMPLETELY different like Space Age City....It is incredible:)
@@DingBatSplat My friend Stephen Barber's family lived in Saltwood Grove. Thinking about it, as you were only yards from St.Peters, how come you never went there,my friend?
@@Isleofskye Saltwood Grove until 1962 when my father died and we moved. 48 Date Street until April 1968. After that a brief spell in a flat that no longer exists, nor does the road, it's part of the big park. Met my best friend in Date Street in 1963, we both had Triumph Tiger Sports Cubs. His name was Malcolm Gage and we were best friends for 56 years until he died at the age of 72 in 2019. April 1969 it was 6 Aycliffe House in Portland Street as a married man with a son until January 1973 when we all, had a daughter in October 1970, move to a new house in a village South of Colchester, Layer De La Haye. Lived in Felixstowe, Ipswich, Amblecote West Mids, Tividale West Mids and finally in a small North Wales coastal town by the name of Abergele. I seem to remember there was something about the church attendance and shortages of places (I'm a 'baby boomer') so I went to MF. A Welshman by the the name of Llewellyn was the headmaster and he retired as I left. Most of my pre school time was spent at my maternal grandparents in West Sussex, a small place called Runcton.
Oh my God, I've drunk in some of those pubs. I used to go down Manor Place quite a bit, the old swimming baths come boxing hall were down there. Used to go swimming there too.. Incidentally (which I'm delighted you have shown) The Beehive, Giraffe and Red Lion were so named because there used to be a zoo there. From Camberwell heading towards the Elephant it was on the left all around Manor Place. There was an underground men's loo on the corner of Walworth Rd & Manor Place, when demolished in the late 60's they found bodies from the plague behind the urinals, as they did on Heygate Street and the flyover at Old Kent Road. WHY YOU HAVE NO MORE THAN 49 SUBSCRIBERS IS CRIMINAL> Thank You Dick C.
Thank you. I produce the videos for our Facebook group and show them here so members can see them on a Smart TV for a larger screen view. Have a look on the group, you might like the old photos.
My uncle John and grand dad bill ( both knight), in the back row, they lived at 2 Lucy Ashe house , peacock street, I went to school at crampton street primary, virtually next door to the roebuck, I was actually looking on here for another pub the horse and groom , affectionately known locally as the Jews house, the landlord was Sid cohen , this was a stroke of luck and I'm chuffed to bits, I've been able to show my grandchildren a photo of their ancestors , especially there great great grand dad. Brilliant, and thank you
Opposite another Pub in King and Queen Street which is still there called The Gladstone. I lived in THe Lane from 1954-83 until I moved to this same house in Bexley but I still miss that area after 37 years :)
Ive drank in many of these pubs, Saturdays were good waited for late edition paper on corner of East st &walworth road home for food & bath & straight out again😅
Do you (or anyone else who sees this) know anything about Frankie Canniff playing the piano at 5 min 23 secs in please? Canniff is my surname - it's quite unusual and apart from once on FB I've never come across another Canniff outside my family Thanks for the pics and as others have said, good choice of music (speaking as a DJ lol)
The Marquis of Lorne was about 75 yards from Catesby Street almost opposite Comus Place. My father played piano in there and I visited the pub quite a few times even playing in there as kids when it was vacant!
@@dickc906 Nice details Dick. The pub looks really nice, pity I was a bit too young to go in. But I must have passed it each day on my way to school. Your father's tinkling notes are still echoing around the universe somewhere.
I can assure you that the Pub is the original Queen Elizabeth in Merrow Street. The side street back then was Elizabeth Street not Lytham Street as now.
