This is the city my great grandparents knew, all eight of them! It's vastly different to the Belfast where I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s! And today's Belfast is different again.

@ant697 15 лет назад

I think the woman doing the voiceover sounds very natural and the music is spot on.

@JEANNEBOLEYN 12 лет назад

Imagine this scene suddenly unfolding before you ! Fascinating and such good clear quality.

@timsears6742 12 лет назад

These films are very facinating to watch. Love it.

@ToyzNWheelz 12 лет назад

This is priceless history!

@FaerieCrone 13 лет назад

It may look quaint and all that to look at this now, but life was bloody hard back then. Most of us these days wouldn't last five minutes.

@martinjohnston4274 6 лет назад

Wonderful and significant historic record of daily life in the city streets more than 100 years ago.

I was there too, which means that I have had sex with women in three different centuries.

@madbob73 16 лет назад

I actually think the voiceovers give good insight personally!

I love all the long skirts and tiny little waists. Just so cool.

Ah yes, the Nokia Baguette was a popular model at the time.

@JEANNEBOLEYN 12 лет назад

@Ajc176 I agree. A pity all of Victorian Belfast is vanishing forever..such as Gallaher's, the terraced houses,, department stores like Robb's. Sailortown is just a memory

Those street lamps were so beautiful and omg no fucking wires 👏👏 Also, i feel weird not seeing cars :/ lots of 1900's videos show cars but these don't have.

@trainrover Год назад

very few telegraph posts (poles) around BI towns & cities even back then...must burying the wirings've discouraged sabotage, e.g?

@faran1684 9 лет назад

Beautiful video! I wonder if it's black and white that makes the video interesting 100 plus years later or if it was a color video what would have been the feeling of the viewer.

@ramonguevara3118 11 лет назад

Almost no fat people on streets like today

Mario Mario. They drank whole milk + real fat, butter. Now most of you eat junk & processed food. Too much suger.... etc. Lasy ass people now. No walking . You make your own pathetic life.

@garydavid1788 2 года назад

The population of Belfast was approx 350000 in 1901 ... Way higher than than it is today at a lot less than 300000....

@RandomnessTube. 9 лет назад

from belfast there seems to be much more people on the streets back then or is it just me?

Wolli foi abominável, Edison eletrecutar àquele inocente elefante. Mas, deixar um cavalo morrer na lua foi cúmulo. Se estiver errado, perdoe-me. Pobre animal! Seu dono jamais o esqueceu. Há uma odisseia que cerca tal fato. Aquele corpo marrom escuro encurvado no chão, que cena! Chorou-se por ele como se fosse um filho. Com razão foi e será sempre um nobre ser. Wolli, choramos e sentiremos a falta de nossos amigos animais enquanto vivermos.

Interesting! All of those streetlamps run off of gas or kerosene? Were men charged with turning them on in the evening?

@geraldo23 4 года назад

This was Belfast Ireland, I.e before Partition you absolute idiot! Northern Ireland hadn’t been born yet. You clearly know shit about history. Protestants are largely from Scotland, the indigenous Ulstermen are Catholic/ Irish, who come from gaelic tribes that had populated the region for millennia. Idiot.

Wear a suit then. Who needs that pretentious baggage? With that way of life came an enormous amount of judgementalism. If you weren't dressed just right you were looked down on and not accepted.

@crazydaniel71 15 лет назад

Excuse me, but the use of that word 'Fenian' is not appropriate and one could find it offensive. This is a beautiful video showing how Belfast used to be, not a forum to discus where the responsibility lies to how it became how it is today.

The world's oldest woman as of today (8/12/17), Violet Brown, had just passed her first birthday when this film was made. And I had sex with her. Not when she was one year old! You people are sick.
