Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Take a View From a Time Machine To England 1901

Not many fatties to be seen.....

Morecambe Bay, a seaside resort, 19 miles south (a long way in England) down the coast as the jackdaw flies from Blackpool, the seaside resort I grew up in.

Diversity? OF COURSE there was diversity: English, Irish, Welsh, Scots and Gypsies. There was always someone willing to kick yer a$$ for you being who you were 🙂

Failing that, there was always football (soccer) fans……

I remember eating stuff at my Grand Parents and Great Grandparents house that had been stored "the old way".

Not "good" by todays "standards", but to them it was nutrition.

I worked with my Great Uncles Dad (b. 1890's) on my Great Uncles Farm. He was intolerant of ANY waste. You ate the whole apple, including the core and did NOT spill milk when milking. He was in his eighties, walked tall, had muscle and would have kicked my farm kid ass any day of the week.

I wonder what those people would think if they could see the same scenes today? England like so many of us have allowed immigrants in.

I suspect they would not be too happy.

My dad's side of the family came from England about the time the UK started a 2000 mile canal system about 1700. The engineering complete with 100s of locks fueled the industrial revolution.

This guy has 100s of videos about Cruising The Cut. He was full time live aboard on a narrow boat for several years. The couple he is showing around have been full time in RVs to start and for the past several years have been traveling around the World on a sail boat. Kind of cool to see them make a video together.

I had always planned to travel to the UK "someday" and took good health for granted. Now long distance travel is off the table but I talk to Ham radio operators in the UK on a regular basis and follow several You Tube channels about life in rural UK. I'm (mostly) proud of my long past ancestors

Life should be more difficult in today's world, instead of instant gratification, welfare and no reason to contribute anything to society, when you can live your life as a drain on society instead.

To bad we don't have a society anywhere on the planet like we had in 1901.

Yes, we all read Oliver Twist.

I thought it was filmed by a drone.

Always bear in mind, a majority of the males from that time period were cut down like wheat to the scythe because of the veddy English propensity to do the bidding of their "betters". The British high command in WW1 was criminally stupid, squandering the lives of the young men of the Empire like so much confetti. Although the practice of selling commissions stopped in 1871, wink, wink, the officer corps was riddled with members of the peerage, blessed with rank and money and manners but unfortunately lacking intelligence.

Glad I wasn't the only one to have that thought.

I've read about some of the 'heroic' mass charges into the face of German machine guns. The Brits tried a mass cavalry charge in 1914 right into a long line of machine guns. It was total carnage. That one ended the days of mass charges. Modern weapons showed the idiocy of charges.
They didn't learn from experience. Many years earlier, in one of the battles for the throne between the English and the Scots, the Scots tried a sword charge across open ground into muskets and cannons. Over 2000 Scots died in 15 minutes and it broke the back of Scotland. A couple decades later came the American Revolution with shoulder to shoulder lines of soldiers facing each other and shooting huge numbers of men. Enlisted men were considered disposable by their 'betters'.

"Green Fields of France"

Unfortunately 🥲

Morecambe Bay, Northwest England.

It looks surprisingly the same today, except no horse drawn wagons. It’s seen bygone days.

My wife’s grandparents owned a hotel and restaurant there for many years.

My mom’s parents owned a hotel along the seafront in Blackpool, my parents ran a fish and chip shop. I was looking at that video to see if it was Blackpool but when I saw the “West Pier” sign knew that it wasn’t (Blackpool has North, Central and South Piers). Like you said, not a whole lot different from 1900.

The coolest thing I can remember, at night during winter gales us kids would go down to the promenade and watch the huge waves crash against the sea wall, getting all wet with the spray.

In that Morcambe video, I’d guess the carriage drivers were Gypsies, into the Modern Era they sure cornered the donkey ride businesses on the beach.

Oliver Twist? Weren’t he from London?

London is down south, we was from up north, yet another reason to get yer a$$ kicked

Everybody seems to think that an all White country was like Happy Valley or something. Never mind Oliver Twist, go watch Peaky Blinders instead.

Some scantily clad babes on the boardwalk at the 2:00 mark +.

Facts are facts. We can compare objective figures of violent crime in what were, or are, all-White nations (or those statistics in our nation when we were 90% White) vs nations overrun by non-Whites or which have become overrun by them in recent decades. Your position cannot be sustained.

World population: 1900 1.6 billion. 2020 7.8 billion. Perspective is relevant as overpopulation produces a behavorial sink. Welcome to 2023.
