Tony Robinson's Time Walks | S1E4 | Woolloomooloo 

❤️ love the way you involve complete strangers to assist in the tales you are telling!❤️

The statue of Robbie Burns was a movement in the mid 19th century that hoped and worked for the idea that all cities in the British Empire, did have a statue of Burns. The one in Sydney was formed by a group that used to meet on the 4th floor of the Gowings Building [Market and George Sts], and originally was to grace the Royal Botanic Gardens, but now stands next to the entrance to The Domain.

Thank you for your positive energy going towards your fans. I like your work of a Great historian.

I know this is nitpicking and I might also be wrong, but the address on Palmer St where Tilly Devine lived is technically in Darlinghurst, south of Woolloomooloo. A longer doco that covers Darlinghurst and the suburb south of it, Surry Hills, would be even better. Plenty of good tales from the Razor gangs era in those suburbs as well. And also Balmain, west of the City. Lots of old pubs and notorious crims who around lived there back in the day too.

Lived around there in the 70 s añd 80s.

14:13 - Classic old Australian pub, with tiles inside and out - made it easier to keep clean, but unfortunately made it look like a toilet.

Ma,,ole hometown!!!! Yeahaaa Yeahaaa.... Woolloomoolloo city Bless,Bless,u,all..... Keep,rokin😁😁👍👍

You are easily my favourite Pom, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I think we can start calling you "Aussie Tony" cheers! mate.

Crawl vs Side Stroke - It's almost as if no one had worked out that you could actually run instead of skipping.

The dog at 8:29 is very interested in the proceedings! LOL.

Tony is a England gem wish he do some American history

My grandmother told me she once spent a night in the cells with Tilly Divine when she (gran) was a teenager. My gran and some other girls had been arrested at a union protest. Apparently when Tilly found out they were in on their first arrest, and what it was for, she was really nice to them and made sure their night in the cells was less unpleasant than it otherwise might have been.

Good information The people were confused,thinking should we be concerned?

I used to walk through there all the time, lived at the Cross.

Ironically the houses they saved for cheap hosing are now worth millions.

Bollywood had a song bout this city (slowmotion angreeza) i’m manifesting to visit this city soon

Were the people whom Tony come up to so casually throughout the video aware that they would appear in a documentary? Some of them even let him come in willingly.

I visited there in 1988...any old friend there?

Got some weird town names over there. Bunch of O’s in them

Tassie, the best place on earth..

The chinese wont get out of your way

Roger Rogerson as a Darlinghurst Dectective use to run protection for heroin dealing in the Tradesman’s Arms back in the 80’s

What's the song at 2:25

Young sir,” ’e sez. “You, too, in sheer amaze Look upon this, and hark to other days, An’ dream of this fair city’s early start, In which (’e bows) I played my ’umble part - My ’umble part - a flagpole an’ a tent.” “Come orf!” sez I. “You was a fine ole gent. Reel nob. I’ve read about the things you did. You picked some site.” (’E bows. I dips me lid).
