Funny - people in the comments saying how wonderful pubs were, why did you stop going to the pub then? I did a stint as a pub landlord in the 90s and saw the decline first hand. Lots of pubs have closed recently but this is not a new trend - it started in the 90s and hasn't stopped since. Unless you can count yourself as a regular, ie you went to your pub most days of the week - you are the reason pubs have gone. Don't pretend its only recently you stopped drinking in the pub, bet most people can't remember the last time they popped out for a swift half - bet it was circa 1982. Our local, the last one in our village closed last year - everyone says what a shame, yet we would sit in it of an evening and would be lucky if more than 4 people came in, if that. We ran a number of campaigns to encourage people to come down - nothing. People here saying I miss the old days, are happy to sit at home watching Sky and Netflix, shop at the out of town supermarket, drive instead of walk - the problem is nobody thinks they are the problem.

The aroma from those old pubs was something you don't read much about. The hoppy ales, the jet black stouts, nut brown ales, light ales, milds, and for the ladies Babycham, cherry brandy and apricot wine, or for my mum a Mackeson, sometimes half and half with milk. Those lovely beverages produced a sweet smell that told travellers from a way down the lane that a pub was nearly at hand. The aroma of beer and spirits would be mixed with delicious blends of Virginia leaves, carefully mixed tobaccos with spices and a bit of rum or whisky to create things like Condor and St Bruno. The relaxing feeling at the end of a day's labour was glorious. You don't get that sense of serenity any more, without it being tinged with irritation or frustration. You'd sit down with your first delicious pint and sup half in no time, then light up your pipe and puff away, the blissful sense of well-being pervading every part of you. Nobody can know the sensation of that pipe tobacco relaxing your whole body unless you've tried it. Summers were best, sat outside the front watching the world go by, not troubled by urgencies like getting home for a life-changing reality telly programme or to shop online for things from China that you don't need. Nobody had a new kitchen fitted, let alone simply because the old one was out of fashion. We didn't bother about things that weren't necessary. Anyway, a few nice pints later you would clamber on your bike and cycle home, full of good humour and chuckling at the silly chats you'd just enjoyed with other locals or a traveller. We didn't know how rich we were. We wouldn't have believed anyone telling us how brutally it all would change, that the fields we surveyed would all be vile housing estates for an infinite supply of overweight people, the sound of motorways roaring 24 hours a day, the urgency and demand of everything sapping our souls. I don't want 10,000 channels of American chewing gum television and 'movies' (ie films) or infinite information on hand that will make me not one jot happier. I don't want people disturbing me on a gadget at any time of the day or night. I just want to relax and take my time over a nice pint, listening to the blackbirds and the sparrows. I want to get home and hear the foxes in the spinney, or the squirrels squawking and shouting, or the owls hooting. This modern world has very little to compensate those who just want to be back in easier times, when money wasn't your god and rushing was an alien concept. Modern life is a plastic throwaway replacement for solid oak, and life will never be as lovely as it was back then.

Average weekly industrial wage in 1940 was around £4 15s Average cost of a Pint of ale was 5d, and of a Pint of milk, 3d - while that of a loaf was around 4½d. So, in 1940, and assuming a 40 hour working week, you could (very roughly) get 5 or 6 pints of beer for an hour's work. Sadly, pub Beer - like Fish and Chips - is nowadays out of reach of the kind of people who at least could once afford it, if not anything more luxurious! Just think: back in 1960, you could get a piece of cod and eightpenno'rth of chips for 1/6d (8p in today's Mickey Mouse currency). Now look at it: such is the 'cost' of Inflation!

Those were the good old days . When it was good fun to visit the local pub ( inn) . To be fair I still enjoy a visit to my local pub . It is one of life’s great pastimes . Albeit quite expensive these days . But I hope that that enjoyable experience , is never taken away from us . Great video by the way .

06:19 The Spaniards is still there. Beautiful old pub. Apparently Dick Turpin, the infamous highwayman, used to frequent it. As did I.

I love the charm of these old films.

Thanks for posting this. My grandad introduced me to bitter when I was around 7 an that started my journey to enjoy English pubs, taverns and Inns. This film showed 1940s England as well as other periods. Although it was a dark hour for the world, I wonder if life although harder, was more content.👍👍

'ckin hell. You had a 'car'? Must have been middle class, innit?

The main character in George Orwell's Coming Up for Air which was written in 1938 sees England as a nightmare of change and modernity. He realises that the "good old days" of his youth are long gone.

It became US consumerist hellscape. Suburban sprawl, more cars than people, retail parks, Netflix, Mc Donald’s, Subway, Pizza Hut, Dominos, 24hr services, Krispy Kreme, more flavours of chewing gum than British beers. Everyone online all of the time on about 10 different entertainment subscription payment plans. Where is the pub in all this? Gone. The rot began with VHS and drink driving bans because Brits hate walking and just like their U.S. cousins they love to live in a bubble and consume sugar and fat all day and night watching screens on devices.

♥️🇬🇧😊 What a lovely film. I could watch that all day.

It is a great shame that so many pubs are closing. But, looking on the bright side, there are more and more community pubs opening and they tend to be very good. They are treasured by locals. I have had the best quality beer in community pubs in Suffolk. Also, generally, the quality and variety of beer is far better than it was in 1980 when I started visiting pubs (50 pence a pint!).

In Spain the bars and licensed cafes are frequented by families , kids very welcome , lovely atmosphere and well behaved. In restaurants kids eat the same as the adults but smaller portions, in school the teachers sit at the same tables as the kids. The family is important, at least this is what it was like when I lived there 20 years ago. Now , I don,t know.

The film romanticises a grim period of British life. Poverty, ill health, rotting teeth, the weekly bath, a rigid class structure, general ignorance, a school-leaving age of 14, poor food, and so on.

Theres a little pub near me, it was almost like this 10 years ago. Just old local men, and families in the summer in the garden. It looks like a cottage. It closed during covid. It didnt have the same charm exactly, it was a bit too small and with lights that were too bright at night. But it felt like a remnant of the past. I doubt anyone will take it over again now.

I live in rural Norfolk and ,if you know where to go, you can still find a decent boozer, with well-kept gravity drawn real ale (no longer 'from-the-wood' unfortunately) that's only a few days old from a local microbrewery and decent craic... but you'll need to know where to look and we like to keep it quiet, particularly from the London middle classes (who thankfully prefer their wine)...

So many pubs are now Tescos or Co-op mini-markets. So many more have just been demolished. However, the Dronfield Arms in Dronfield, Derbyshire bucks the trend and even has its own brewery! Let's keep this original social network going. Use it or lose it. Anyway, nearly time for a pint. Love and peace.

Paid £6.90 for a pint last week in a decent town pub. At that price, I can't see pub culture lasting long. Something to also I have seen is that there are not as many young people drinking these days and the pubs are empty in comparison to 15 years ago. Tastes change I guess
