L0ckysays...For comparison:
The Tower of London
London Bridge
Tower Bridge
Whitehall Cenotaph
Motor-buses numbering over 6,800, Nelson's column
Hyde Park
Marble Arch
Petticoat Lane 1
Petticoat Lane 2
View from Westminster Bridge, now with the London Eye
lucky760says...I am absolutely fascinated by very old photography and videography. I can't get enough of seeing what real people were like in "ancient" times (and contemplating my own mortality). I love sites like http://shorpy.com and http://oldphotosjapan.com
*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by lucky760.
Jinxsays...The view at the end hasnt changed all that much. Even the helmet the bobbies wear is pretty similar...
antsays...*music
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Music) - requested by ant.
Deanosays...This is lovely. Seeing the Cenotaph being tended with another World War still 12 years away gives me a shiver.
Having been in all these places (even worked inside Parliament) I'd love to see how it will look in another 100 odd years.
L0ckysays...Fixed the links in my post. Where do we report bugs around here?
articiansays...This was more intriguing than I'd expected.
I'm not that fascinated by old imagery (though definitely interested, and seeing such almost makes my mind wander in the same way old fairy-tales used to).
As someone from this generation, I work to see these realities, and our history in general, encapsulate these eras and peoples in some simulative aspect, so we can truly experience them.
Granted it will be even less than a carbon copy of the reality that was, but only so much as viewing the ghosts of history burnt to images by light.

Loved this video. And yes - very interesting to think that all of the adults in this video are dea.

StukaFoxsays...That's the first thing I thought, too: you poor, innocent bastards. You don't even know what's coming and not very long from now.

antsays...*dead -- "Sorry
This video does not exist."
siftbotsays...This video has been declared non-functional; embed code must be fixed within 2 days or it will be sent to the dead pool - declared dead by ant.
oritteroposays...Rats. I wonder if he hadn't cleared use of the music?
*dead -- "Sorry

antsays...Who knows. What music did he use?

oritteroposays...Jonquil and Yann Tiersen
I don't think this one is ever coming back At least the silent version is still on the sift.

antsays...Oh well, use the silent one then.

oritteroposays...It's already sifted so if I use it, then this would be a dupe.

antsays...Ah. Hmmm wouldn't those two be dupes anyways regardless of the music?

oritteroposays...Nobody seemed to think so at the time. The feeling from watching this edit vs the original was very different... it wasn't only the sound different, although most of the footage was common.
I was initially worried it was a grey area, but nobody called it.
Ha! Found a fix

geo321says...*promote this is brilliant
siftbotsays...Promoting this video back to the front page; last published Monday, May 13th, 2013 5:33am PDT - promote requested by geo321.
newtboysays...I found it funny that they mention Americans offering to buy the tower and move it to America, followed immediately with footage of London Bridge, which was bought by Americans and moved to Arizona.
