My Great grandfather ,a farm labourer in Cricklade,Wiltshire in the 1800's would have suffered this I'm sure!

Lovely video. Thank you. Innovation and better production reduced poverty. My ancestors, one and all, my family have been here longer than the oaks. Peace and goodwill.

My father was born in 1901 in London Islington told me as a child he was starving no money around and little food
@bingbong7316
My great great grandfather's family were Wiltshire farm labourers back then; he took advantage of railway work around the time Box Tunnel was built and lived with his wife for some time after in a navvies' shanty town with a formal name, quite established, beside the GWR line,- all now long long gone but evident from maps of the time. Free housing, likely, of a temporary nature with privations.

Hunger is a very good tool to control people, especially people without strong will.

At least they weren't afraid of being attacked with a machete.

Moving pictures came in 1895 very odd.

If anyone wants to know why my ancestors migrated to New Zealand in the 19th century, all I have to do is direct them to this video.

Which part of the 40s is this? wages in Kent in 1947 would have been £1 to their shilling.
@StillAliveAndKicking_
The narration sounds just like my impression of an upper class toff. I wonder why I can’t take it seriously? Beats me squire.

This was and should still be normal life. Not the selfish - gimme - gimme - gimme of today.
