Searching the Portobello Road - 1967
More of my old Kodachrome Super8 footage from 1967. On the hunt for wooden typefaces for my ancient letter-press printer back home in New Zealand I'd heard that somewhere down the Portobello Road I'd be sure to find some ... so sister Jenny and friend Rachel volunteered to search while I filmed the Portbello Road Saturday crowd. It was a successful operation - more display fonts to send back home!

The Seventh National Jazz & Blues Festival 1967
Просмотров 1852 месяца назад
1967, and I was really missing my Victor 16mm movie camera for all these London discoveries - but in this case Super8 Kodachrome just had to do. This footage of the Jazz & Blues Festival at Windsor's Balloon Fields was really to give the family back home in New Zealand an idea of what I was discovering on the other side of the world. Reading my old letters home again today it seems as though I ...
Trooping the Colour - Rehearsal - 1967
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
My first summer in London - 1967: armed with my Super-8 movie camera and 100 feet of virgin Kodachrome film I made the most of our invitation to be the guests of Scottish Laird Malcolm Douglas using his Official Household Guard Officers' seats. Malcolm, ex-Guards Officer, actor and falconer, was in London filming The Charge of the Light Brigade - but his Battalion was receiving the Colours that...
Canterbury University - 1956 Residential College Rowing Contest
Просмотров 395 месяцев назад
My first year at Canterbury University College - before I was roped in to row for College House, and was still 'at large' with my 16mm Victor camera. My High School rowing background meant it wasn't long before I was spending regular 5:30am mornings down at Kerr's Reach training with the College House rowing four. So no 16mm records in 1957 & 1958! Nostalgia writ large as I see these battling c...
Gisborne A & P Show 1954
Просмотров 2339 месяцев назад
More nostalgia from my old movies, taken nearly 70 years ago. Here's a few shots from my collection of 9.5mm footage, taken with the first movie camera that I bought back in the 1950's. Sly's Piano Shop, in Auckland's Queen Street, strangely enough sold 9.5mm Pathescope cameras, the famous Pathescope Ace projector, and camera-ready cassettes of black & white film. Because of the frame size - al...
A Weekend in Belgium
Просмотров 7110 месяцев назад
The easiest way for New Zealanders to renew their Visas back in the 1960's was to leave the U.K. and get their passports stamped when they returned. It saved hours of queuing down at the Croydon Immigration Centre - and was usually fairly entertaining one way or another ... Here's Kodachrome Super-8 footage of my final renewal in 1969 - successful again, luckily - but only for another six month...
A Weekend in Amsterdam
Просмотров 2810 месяцев назад
In the European Winter of 1969 my sister Jenny and I visited Amsterdam. I was still filming in Super-8 Kodachrome at that stage, so quality again leaves something to be desired, especially after my earlier 16mm work. Always surprised when reviewing footage like this: the colour rendering of Kodachome has remained stable over the years, despite varying storage conditions. Things seemed much more...
A Stranger in Hagley Park

Just found some old 16mm black and white footage that I filmed in 1957: not sure that Gail and Cathy would be too impressed, but thought it worthwhile adding to the archive just in case ...
A Weekend in Worcestershire
Просмотров 3611 месяцев назад
In July 1967 my sister Jenny and I visited business friends of our father: Dad looked after their sheep station in New Zealand, so it was sort of an obligatory visit - nevertheless we really enjoyed our time with them in Worcestershire. A filmed some of the visit to show our parents, but once more it's only Super8 Kodachrome so there's a distinct lack of definition, although the Kodachrome has ...
Stonehenge 1967
Просмотров 103Год назад
A very brief glimpse of Stonehenge and Salisbury when Jenny and I were staying with cousins who owned a remarkable old priory near Enford in Wiltshire. Stonehenge was close by, so when tradition dictated that during the afternoon we were "left to our own devices", off we went to explore in our little white rental Anglia. It's Super8 Kodachrome with all the expected deficiencies!
Tarawera Easter Holiday 1955
Просмотров 33Год назад
More 16mm Kodachrome footage found nearly 70 years later. Again, it really surprises that the colour quality remains superb. What a process, and what a tragedy that it seems to have disappeared below the waves. This footage is made up of random shots tied together with memories of that Easter holiday we had before I left for University in Christchurch. Family recollections may vary, but there i...
Winter Sunday at Graham Road 1957
Просмотров 58Год назад
Some more 'found' 16mm footage which I took during my winter holiday from Canterbury University in 1957. In Kodachrome colour this time, so I must have been feeling flush. All family stuff as they were willing subjects. Fascinating how well the colour has lasted in 66 years - not fading, and as crisp and sharp as it was when it came back from the labs - and the soundtrack? From my very first- e...
Boxing Day 1957 at Graham Road
Просмотров 57Год назад
Boxing Day 1957, and the traditional family gathering on the front lawn at 19 Graham Road. The trusty old 16mm Victor, back with me from University, performed well most of the time - but exposure was sometimes a problem, as you can see from the footage of the sisters on horseback across the road. Good to see Mum's father and Auntie Vee, and also the shots of the Gambrill's when we were all stil...
Ad Hoc Vietnam Protest March - London 1968
Просмотров 67Год назад
Super8 Kodachrome this time: regrettably, because some of this footage is probably of historic interest. What started out as a fairly peaceful protest march, as you can see, developed into a clash between opposing groups. We beat a hasty retreat. Up Park Lane and over at the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square it turned really nasty!

Grandpa's racehorse Bookful wins the Gold Cup in 1957
Came here randomly via a RUclips algorithm recommendation. Watched it first. What a lovely film I thought. Then I started reading the comments. A torrent of racism. Very sad.
thanks for the time travel experience...greetings from Aarhus Denmark...rated world´s happiest city 2024...Århus smilets by eller verdens mindste stor by...skål!
Colourful, colourful coordinated, smart and slim.f
This was neat
I worked in Kings Rd in the late 70s ... it was all over by then
they people are politicians now
Beatnik!
Do have more like this one if you do please post more
1st BATTALION SCOTS GUARDS in MALAYSIA - 2nd BATTALION in ISERLOHN, WEST GERMANY
Guardsmen, when they were bound by fierce discipline, their drill was immaculate, and they were truly second to none.
The opening photo I would suggest is of street liners running to Wellington Barracks at the end of the Parade.
عصر النهضة خلال مده الدراسة في جامعة اكسفورد خلال مدئ قصيرة
I worked as a young man in Securicor Ltd on Chelsea embankment in the late 60's. I frequented The Birds Nest in Kings Road, but it no longer exists. I also found out recently that the lovely building used to be ths place used to house a Jazz club in the same building (The Swallow something-or other) down in the basement level. I had no idea that my good ol' uncle, Bruce Turner, may have been playing downstairs when I would have been boogie-ing upstairs. 😅 Ah, memories.
I walked recently 2023 the entire length of the kings rd I grew up in Fulham in the 70s/80s I remember how fun the kings rd was ......ITS DEAD NOW....OVER....just dreary chain shops rubbish everywhere dull miserable people homeless everywhere ...just a sad dirty dull place like every miserable high street filled with chain stores all selling the same tat high rents/rates...online shopping has killed all the independent shops ...London has lost its mojo completely everything is being bulldozed for grim...luxury...crappy flats its such a shame to see how its all become
Relaxing images of happy times!!!
I was there 😂, serving on SS Himalaya Thanks for the memories 😊
All these lovely darlings !
Loved every second of this, its as if everyone all agreed to meet in the Kings Road for one big party, and encapsulate the period perfectly, a sense of excitement with something in the air, just for that afternoon.
It looks very exciting and vibrant back then!
I lived in Paradise Walk during the 60's, the rent for one of the 2 bedroom houses was £16 per week, the owner wanted to sell it for £16,000 ( a lot of money then - too much for me!)
Looks like Lionel Blair in shot with Sammy Davi’s Jnr.
Too painful to watch. I was 24 in 1967 and spent many an afternoon strolling along here. Does it really look like cultural enrichment was needed?
A bit ingenious, we would have never had all the curry and kebab shops to choose from ,🤦
Absolutely enchanting. Long before the tide came in! The girls look fabulous.
I give in to the temptation to look at these old films but it is nearly always a source of sadness. It is better not to dwell on the past. It may look nice,but one forgets that life is never perfect and there were problems back then too.
I was only 5 months old here 57 now 🤣🤣 unbelievable ah the motors JAGUAR ETYPES saw 3
When Obama turned on the hate machine the country changed. Now we have to be divided in groups that hate each other to keep the democrats in power. They even come out with new groups all the time for more chaos. There are so many alphabet people we gonna need to add more letters to the alphabet.
Now it's a third world dump
Before the invasion 😢
Completely gone down the pan since then ...for starters all the girls would be porkers now 😂
No tattoos gym thots. In sight.
I am now 77 years old. Lived through that wonderful life back then. What happened after that was a text book lesson on how vindictive politicians have destroyed our world.
the britain we knew and loved. that's why people came here. because it was great. been swept aside. well done, voters 👍
The good old days , Peace and Love.
Fashion looks great mix of still Mod with Flower Power but how did it go ugly with the long hair and flares of the 1970s apart from the early Skinheads then the birth of Punk.
Music is "A Summer Place" by Max Steiner.
Beautiful british cars.. very sad how London has lost it's class in modern times.
I was seventeen when this was filmed, lived and worked in London, loved the lifestyle and fashions. Just a passing thought, noticed how slim everyone looked….🤔must have been pre fast food era!
Look how slim everyone was.
I arrived in London in a Triumph Spitfire via This road in June '67! The very best year ever and do tell; where is all the "diversity", all the illegal or otherwise immigrants??? There weren't any until Blair & Blair told us that WE were demanding them and where, come to that, are all the grosso fat people?? There weren't any!! Today is sick and England is no more!!!
Thanks that was fab

Saturday, 15th July 1967. What a groovy date, baby!
Yes,the good old days were BETTER despite the old saying that they werent always so and now is actually better.Well,they arent.Things are worse now.
Convertibles and sports cars sure were popular back then. All the `birds' seemed to have shopped at Mary Quant...
Can’t be London everyone looks English.
why did people stop wearing colours ...
Bought purple bell bottoms from Sellers...hair cut by Scissors... Happy days
