#Edinburgh is no longer merely a city but a relic and example of how magnificent the entirety of #Britain would look if unspoilt by modern design.

Eerie, colurised footage of #Ireland in 1929. The audio is genuinely as wholesome as the video. The laughter they share encapsulates their stoic grit and brings a smile to my face. The times and the work were hard, but they had each other, and the appreciation…

This video of #Ireland in 1929 stares into the eyes of our ancestors. Listen carefully, and you'll hear the back and forth of the Irish as they lived their humble and wholesome lives. It almost feels as if for a brief moment, you're in a time long gone.

This is an antique photograph of @GeorgeInn1677 (75 #Borough High St, #London #SE1). The crooked beauty of this image can still be experienced as the pub is currently still trading. Those who love #London and its pubs are all too familiar with this gem. @BritainsPubs
A woman whose love for her man builds him up to the point of making other men jealous is a completely different creature to the woman whose attention for strangers degrades him into obscurity.
This is 70-Yr-Old Mark Hill riding his wacky Penny farthing bicycle in #Battersea, #London, 1934. There's no wonder as to why this never caught on in a big way, I'd rather ride horseback than use this contraption.

I wonder how many people can still understand our old dialects? Listen to this man speaking all the way from 1929 and see if you can understand anything being said. It pains me to admit that we genuinely see their like no more. #Ireland.

This one's wholesome. An old #Irishman dances to pass the time. This is yet another glorious insight into the character of our forebears. Their ability to smile and enjoy life despite its many hardships brings me a sense of much needed encouragement. #Ireland (1929)
Pubs have always been far more than a merely place to drink, they're a part of British culture.
Ye Olde Man & Scythe (c1900) on #Bolton that's still trading today. 🏆🍻

This is incredibly heartwarming. A young man calls his sister over (in English) to come and see a young donkey. His accent is truly nostalgic. I can't help but wonder where they might have wound up?

"Isn't he lovely, he's only two days old".. #Ireland, 1929
Today it seems that common sense is an uncommon occourance.
Understanding and philosophising the past is to obtain vital keys to the doors of the future.

One of the most dangerous forms of naivety is to believe that just because you wish no harm on others, that they're not working hard to see great harm unto you.
