Been to cockington several times .
How it should be
How beautiful Britain was at that time and look at it now. Totally destroyed and hardly recognizable. What a shame.
Soon to be the Islamic Caliphate of Britain .
Oh look a video about britain back in the day I bet the comments aren’t full of rac… oh boy.
❤
👍👍👍🏴
Dating back to the 11th century and changed little since he said….Well……in the last 20 years it changed more than the last 800-900 years due to woke multi cultural agendas.
Live in Devon, still England fortunately, travel from mid Devon( Chulmleigh) to work near Newton Abbot every day, the lanes are the same, as is the mud, potholes and countryside. More traffic nowadays, especially the vehicles that have been brought here from up country, estuary English is more common than the Devonian dialect.
Yank Here – Do these places still exist…went to London – last year and it was terrifying.
i just wish we still had all these old motorcars. the modern cars rally ruin the old villages
The age the self loathing types despise but the decent patriots wish we still had
semenship…🤣😂🤷♀
it is STILL loveley today
I love the colours of the old film
I had 15 beautiful years in Oxford from age 7… rode my bike everywhere, explored every inch of it and miss it every day. Property prices are out of sight now tho 😢
I was almost in tears watching this , I was born in 1952 and consider myself so fortunate to grow up in these times, they were such innocent times never to be seen again, now look at us, it is criminal what our country has become. In the words of Harold Macmillan we never had it so good.
I was lucky enough to visit in late 60s when my family used to holiday in and around Torquay every year. Thanks for sharing ❤
Why did we wage war against each other ? For the caliphate
I lived just around the corner from Cockington and at 6 years old, I would walk down to the duck pond at dawn before anyone was up and sit watching the wildlife until I heard my father's car blast his horn to bring me home for breakfast. This stopped when Myra Hindley and Ian Brady (the Moors Murderers) came to light and the world for kids came to an abrupt halt.
Castle Combe remains exactly the same ❤
This would have looked great on my 1968 Tv. But the writings and the watermark ruing the illusion
Seeing this makes me realized how fragile civilization is.
How beautifull was the world when it had "only" 3 billion people.
Dare I correct an age old commentator , but the college he described as “Magdalene ( pronounced Maudlin) was actually Christchurch College you can clearly see Tom Tower and the fountain Cupid) anyway aaah wonderful England in the days when we weren’t seeing a kind of reverse “D” Day happening ( D now standing for Dinghies!!)
Im as calm as a cucumber, after seeing this.
but but but… it's all white people! we can't have that!
and now you don't.
Do you notice any differences then and now?
It is uncanny how Britain held itself together as long as QE II was on the throne. After her passing, it’s a race to the bottom!! 🔻📉
Bourton on the Water where there is “no bustle, no hurry”. Try going there on a weekend now. It’s like a Rugby scrum.
Blue skies – now Grey ubiquitous chem-trails and the wholesale destruction of innovation & entrepreneurs
British politicians, traitors to the British people, are why nothing is made in Britain any more. They ruined the country in many ways.
That’s Christ Church, not Magdalen. I hope he was fired for that faux pas….
Multiculturalism has removed English culture
Of course things weren't perfect back then but – at the same time – these films are a tragic reminder of a nation… a culture… that's now dead and gone.
Forever gone
I love england love that countryside 😍😍😍 greetings from Switzerland
