Find an old building in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 there really aren't any left (not that we're that old anyway (200+ years) but the city council has zero sense of preserving history. When overseas guests come, we take them to the coast, to Fremantle Port, as that's the only place left with old buildings. It's actually embarrassing.
I’m crying. Beautiful and achingly sad 😭
This is such a beautiful building!! And obviously people have so many fond memories here!! I absolutely loved how the husband was so choked up about talkin how he fell in love with his wife the first moment he saw her there and still have the ticket with the phone number on it!! Now that's true love!! And the.2 ole gals dancing….just amazing!!! But these old buildings were ALL so magnificent and beautiful…. hopefully SOMEONE with a HEART and a lot of MONEY could come in and save them!!! I live in Reading Pennsylvania….there were many buildings that ended up ran down and rotting… thankfully…to save some of these old buildings, the city restored these historical sites (somewhat)and made them into apartments instead of being knocked down… hopefully these beauties in this video can/will be saved!!
💜 🍀 🙏😊❤
In Newark, Delaware (US), they turned many areas into parking garages and businesses. The college atmosphere is changed to concrete, brick, and cinder. It's lost 60% of it's charm, like something out of Orwell's "1984"
They are doing the same in NY, NY University and Hospitals are taking over the buildings.
Why? Please stop doing this. It’s history being destroyed
The architecture was beautiful but I'm always the most sad about all the tight knit communities that had to be displaced to make room for the new developments .
What year was this doco made??
Nothing has the privilege of lasting forever…
Unity. Loyalty. Defend. Europe.
Heritage. Identity. Defend. Europe.
Was that Dire Straights ? Probably a cover band, but still looked like a fun time.
It's so sad to see them not used
Ah Nick, the reporter that never seems to get the scoop he is after… the perpetual unanswered question mark….still waiting to find out who killed Tupac….
In America we are loosing the few we had
GREAT BRITAIN has some of the most beautiful architectural structures. What a shame to not REPLACE THESE WORKS OF ART.
The country has been ran by nonces for several decades now (at least), did we really think that preserving Britain's historical artifacts was going to be their primary focus of interest? Altho I'm sure the impoverished little girl shown bent over scavenging with her nickers out was.
I started crying when the husband danced his wife one last time. How sad the let such happy and beautiful past slip away. It's out history.
Oh, aye, and schwinehund like Boris have helped tank the country !! Brexit sure paid off, hmmmm? And love to Wales. Get rid of the Conservatives !! Mad Dogs, Mad Dogs. (Think Trump)
So angry. My mum was from England, my Dad, from Scotland. Mum's parents wouldn't come to the wedding. Living in Canada, we love all. My best friends include a great fellow named Paddy, a love named Helmut, And Kenny with such beautiful black curly hair that I touch when he allows.. Then there are the Castors who taught me so much about the Cree background. But the Irish and the Scots music run through my soul. How can Britain be so cruel and uncaring??? Dinnae think I'll be going back for a visit ever again !! And Canadian or no, I'm not a wee bit sorry for my remarks.
Before the program even starts , the title makes me sad and even nauseated. It's our past, it's our history. The buildings and homes tell our story. The all mighty dollar/pound/yen makes the decisions in this progressive capitalistic society. This behavior is not new, however the technology filled world we live in sure brings these issues to light in a expedited fashion.
We love china for sticking with us❤
What a shame as an American everything in England is old
