Where did everything go? This green and pleasant land…..now utterly ruined by politicians.

@sidneydawe9937 kids don’t have adventures outside any more sadly. It was very character building.

It seems so sad to me that this britain who was about to fight World War Two for us doesn’t exist any more. It seems so idyllic today. We know it wasn’t- don’t worry. But it’s still sad it’s gone.

@Hanna1968 the conditions you describe were still being lived by myself in the year 2010 in my cottage in Scotland. And if you are used to it there’s not much wrong with it. And by the way if I had the choice I would go back to 1920 in a heartbeat.

@ what’s ‘personal cot’ please?

I can’t help but wonder, at the amazing world my father would have known as he was born in 1920. The people, the clothes, the street signs and shop signs, the trams, buses and wonderful cars, where did all these billion tons of 1930’s daily items GO TO? Since this film was shot- every car, every tram, every bus, every car, everyone’s clothes and personal items, possessions etc ALL gone now. You couldn’t find anything even if you knew where the HUGE landfill site was where everything you see here was put into. You see, I collect antique bottles all my life, and the Victorians didn’t HAVE huge landfill sites. The ‘dustman’ would come round once a week to shovel out your outside TOILET, shovelling the ASHES from your fire out, and also ANYTHING else you didn’t want and could fit through the hole. When they had a full load of ashes and bottles etc they’d go off and TIP it somewhere local like a disused quarry etc. this is how there are bottle dumps from Victorian times scattered all over. But by the 1930’s there were very large quarries operating, available for huge landfill sites- and THOSE are just absolutely huge. The stuff in them will be worth millions nowadays. But it would cost you a fortune to mine a former landfill site for metals etc, but eventually I believe there will be firms specialising in MINING landfill sites because so much of good use, good metals, has been thrown away without a second thought for the best part of 90 years now. Old enamel shop signs will still be perfect and worth a mint. But the sheer amount of metals will make it worthwhile. Imagine it. Take out a 100 ton sample, there will be washing machines, motors with copper in them, steel items- and old steel car parts that were no use would be put out and the bin men in those days HAD to take what you put out. It was their job to lift heavy metal bins and anything else you had put out. Old bicycles, anything. There must be a fortune in old landfills- not to mention the ‘goodies’ that would come out too. 👍🇬🇧

All the shops, a lot of buildings, all the clothes, the possessions, the cars, the trams, the buses, the street signs, the lamp posts, and the people- all gone. Where did everything you see here go? The answer is into huge landfill sites. It would be very likely worth MINING old 1930’s landfills for metals etc. nothing was recycled back then.
