Three successive bitter winters ‘the war winters’ 39/40, 40/41 and this one 41/42. Never happened before or since to have 3 freezing winters on the trot. Must have been so hard keeping warm in those draughty old houses.

Wonderful series of films of the greatest generation that has lived on these islands getting on with life. My parents being part of that generation, I'm wonder what they were actually doing at this particular time in history on this snowy day. Thanks for sharing. I've enjoyed your footage of Anglesey as my father was born on Anglesey.

I recognise the route through Rainow (B5470) but not the layby where the car pulls in or where the children are playing, any ideas where this is?

They said petrol rationing didnt affect everyone,not those with gas guzzling posh cars.

Back in the day when it was looked after

No need to set the clocks back 82 years as nothing has changed👍😁

What in incredible film, a lovely snapshot of a brief family reprieve from the drudgery of wartime, and colour footage of PBYs in the water in wartime UK no less. A copy of this needs to be made for the archives. Fred was obviously a clever and perceptive man, and he obviously appreciated beauty as well as engineering, like his footage of flowers and the cheeky sign off near the end! My grandfather was of the same era, he could build anything from steam locomotives, to my uncles wartime wooden toy cars, to the first TV set in the street, made so everyone could watch the Coronation. He was also a decent artist, a rare combination, I wish I still had the pencil drawing of a Porsche he drew me from memory. Pre war folk were a different breed, I miss them.

Brilliant. I also have some colour film footage from north wales in the late 1930s. My question this footage is that it most certainly would have e been shot on a wind up camera at 16 frames per second but the here it is being projected at 24 fps, making everything seem a little too fast and jerky. Try playing this at a slower speed….

Nice, but mine in the same year was lovely. Unfortunately, no film though ☹️

Shorts and wellies. I remember. I were there.

I think that the folks in this film clip needed those Gas Masks because of the air quality rather than the Germans dropping something nasty. An interesting snapshot in time. Thank you for uploading this and your other films.

And now families spend most of their time, heads down looking at their phones.

Thanks for posting, where abouts if known was this particular film shot.

Mr. Pedley's car is a Morris, the light-coloured car following it is almost certainly a Vauxhall. Both are1930s models.

The car is a Railton, an expensive car built in the 1930s. Note the rivets along the bonnet.

There was a petrol ration for private motoring until sometime in 1942. After that it was only for business use and still rationed.

Amazing parks were so nice during the war

Looks icy. How did they keep warm. Oh yeah coal fires. Cosy.

Great to see this footage, thanks for putting this on RUclips. I worked in Lairds (Anglesey) Ltd. In the early 80s. The slipways where they launched the flying boats and the motor torpedo boats where still plainly to be seen.

Assim fica muito sem graça e ruim😢

Rainow at 47 seconds

We should still be using Kodachrome today

Kodachrome minus the chrome

I always find these old films fascinating. That was “now” to those people.

Life and times 83 years ago. Incredible. Thanks for posting. ❤

Wolesley and an Austin 16?

No traffic anywhere and he prangs his motor. IMBECILE 😂

Mr. Pedley, please would I be able to write about this video in Macclesfield Nub News? Thank you!

Great footage! My dad bought a boat in Conwy in1953, and I'm still mucking about in boats in this area!

Popped up by YT as a suggestion, and enjoyed watching it. A by-gone era. Looks to have been filmed at least in the latter half of the 30's. The DNO registration on the car (when they were playing with the ball and bat) was released in Mar 1936.

Very angry geese

Fab! 😊👍

Idyllic scenes, inquisitive cows and a few reminders of the war. Super to see.

Hi. I don’t suppose you have any footage of the concrete ‘water barges’ that were moored in a trot near Ynys Y Big?

Mr. Pedley, may I ask you, do you have any connection with Beaumaris, North Wales?

I couldn't identify any of the roads. Do you know where it was shot exactly?

Its nice to see old footage like this being put on youtube. I have sailed a lot through the menai straits and seen where the flying boats were moored up. Thanks for uploading

Where is this lodge? At Rhodes, opposite North Manchester Golf Club?

Just love these home movies of the countryside back in the day. Glad you saved it to modern video before the film degrades totally from age. Being it's 1941 time line, I'm thinking they are escaping the London Blitz air raids by camping in someone's cow pasture out in the countryside.

5:35-6:24 hey isn't that Stymie from The Little Rascals?

"Songs of the Sun" (1931).

Seagull engine. Nearly threw himself out of it. Then it broke down. What a surprise. Ps must have been filmed by someone else since it’s Fred in the boat.

Lovely to see the gardens in the grounds of Wythenshawe Hall as they used to be,even in the middle of the second world war the gardens were beautiful.I spend a bit of time there now having a jog etc and you can still see the outline of were the flower beds used to be.

I don't think it's hay making, but sheaves of cereals that are then being stooked. Not close enough to say if barley or wheat. Nice film

Are they feeding the ducks in Foxdenton park?

all the telegraph's poles with hundreds of wires on them. Better then than now for sure.😢

You wouldn’t think there was a war going on

excellent

Worst camera work ive ever seen, Fred
