Thank you for this. I wonder if the building at the very end is based in Nakuru.

Ibiza 1972,is another I intend to upload (as well as Majorca 1973 I previously mentioned)

The best part of those garden parties (BBQs in North America) was kids could try some beer and wine. We also could sit and watch the grown ups act funny as they drank more alcohol. It was a great source of amusement for us. As a kid were were treated just like adults, if for only a little while.

A very classy bunch. The ladies wore gloves and hats and the men dressed in morning coats and top hats.

At 2:57. That's a nice Omega watch.

The good old day cant get them back play all day as kids great fun

As others have commented, the striking thing is how little has changed.! You can still have that wonderful seaside holiday in Lyme.

Great childhood memories,my parents had babbacombe cabs(21 petitor rd) up until 1988 and we moved to Sheffield to run a pub(all went downhill from there😢)

Wonderfully evocative of days gone by. Great memories for those families.

The SS Oronsay was the ship we came over on from Australia in 1952. I was just 5 years old then and now live in Scottish Highlands.

No health & safety rules back then!

We went to Majorca in 1970 & 1973, I have some cine footage of the latter on a recently digitalised clip so intend to upload it to the channel

Great Quality !!

❤❤

1971 was the year I was born, thanks for sharing this. 👍😃

We had the exact same tree and electric fire surround. In fact I only recently got rid of the surround after my mum passed away. I kept the tree, even though it is 64 plus years old, it just holds to many memories of happy Christmases to get rid of. The holes in the wooden stem are slightly enlarged due to decades of pushing in the metal branches, so the branches sag downwards a little more than intended but apart from that still as good as the day my dad brought it back in the late fifties..

This film should be scanned. It appears to have been videos from a projected screen image hence the flickering.

Really enjoyed the m6 lancaster northbound always a pleasure

Happier days by far,,

Oh how I enjoyed this and at my age I remembered all the models very well I noted a Saab surely a rare sight when everyone had a British car , thanks for posting and one hurray for those standard 8 and super 8 film cameras.

Wonderful 😊

Our nice days

I'm affraid Jane Austen Wings cafe and some hill side houses behind nearly ended up on the beach after a huge land slide early 1960's.I remember that area being closed off for years afterwards.No amusements back then.My first time at Lyme June 1965 age 6 months and still holidaying there today.❤

IN 1975, WE DROVE DOWN THE A 38 , HEADING FOR CORNWALL, BUT JUST BEYOND TAUNTON, WE COULD SEE A HUGE STREAM OF TRAFFIC OVER TO THE LEFT, AT A STANDSTILL.AS WE BECAME TOO. IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE STUCK IN A MEADOW, IT WAS THE M5, THIS WAS THE END OF IT'S BUILD, AT THAT POINT, AND TRAFFIC WAS MERGING WITH THE A38. IT WAS TOTAL CHAOS, ALL THE WAY TO ST iVES, WE GOT THEIR AT 11 PM, IN THE DARK.

Really nice...

Another cracking song.

What a fantastic nostalgic film. Thank you very much for posting. We visit Lyme Regis a lot living fairly nearby.

@0:24 - What is that ? A caravan for Ronnie Corbett ?

Thanks for this. I live in this town and it has gone sadly downhill since those days.

Another interesting and enjoyable film. Thanks for uploading. I must say the whole scene looks *very* relaxed. A slower pace of life in general back then. Apologies for being a nitpicking, car-spotting anorak, but I can see a Ford Taunus TC3/Cortina Mark V (officially ‘Cortina 80') and a Mark 3 Escort. These were launched in 1979 and 1980 respectively.

In my early childhood I lived in Bristol, (that would be the 60's - 70's). I recall going out with my father seeing these areas particularly around Brent Knoll in Somerset. I remember well the motorways (M4 and M5) being built. I was too young to properly understand what was happening with this "improvement". The chaos and destruction of a way of life may of had benefit for some. Nowadays in old age I'm not so sure when I remember what was against what has become. It was fascinating to watch this, bought back so many memories.

It is interesting to see the large number of USA brands Wills Wing and Bennett Delta Wing at that time. Great high quality footage from that early period is not so common. Thanks.

I'm guessing 1975-76

Like the ominous X files style music.

"Is that our phone I can hear ringing ? " "No." "Are you SURE ?" "Yeah - We ain't got a car phone !"

@0:22 - He he he ! Lookit those flares ! That bloke didn't need a hang-glider to fly , he just had to wait for the wind to blow in his direction !

For an amateur movie there are some pretty good shots here. The ‘British Hang Gliding History’ site has the programme for this event, which took place in May 1976.

Fantastic, was flying my paraglider there two days ago.

A nice change from weddings, and holidays in Spain..👍

British life, British cars British values, sadly now all lost..

It's a golden days in Aden @ that time . thanks 4 this film

Could this be Pontefract or perhaps Knottingley, with a view out the window to Ferrybridge Power Station? It’s my best guess after a little detective work on the Internet, and assuming the ‘window scene’ is from the same town. You might want to check out a RUclips video entitled ‘The Air Up There - Pontefract’ for some drone footage. And if you think your film might be from that part of the world you could always contact the Pontefract and Castleford Express or the Wakefield Express.

That eye-poppingly gaudy red couch looked like it had a major burned area on the end of the arm, probably from Aunt Martha's cigarettes.

Let's sit for a while, now let's get up and try to dance, now let's all sit again, now let's watch Aunt Martha smoke. And don't forget to try and look like you're having fun, after all, it is Christmas.

Hardly anyone there under the age of 50. That Christmas tree was very tacky, as was the rest of the room. To paraphrase an old MadTV skit regarding unattractive people, everyone looked like they were from K-Mart, the DMV or any of the Slavik countries.

Great memories...

Great footage. It looks like it’s from early on in the Seventies. I think that’s a Hillman Avenger at 0:18. If so, then the film can be no earlier than February 1970.

Aden is historical and this day is over OK I am in Aden living and Aden has a future with the President Aidaroos Alzubaidi and it will return better than before and we welcome anyone who visits Aden and works in Aden we make its tourists and the residents in it are crowns on our heads

used to work in the grand and the qweens back in the 60s ;)

I find these old films both fascinating and sad at the same time, especially the weddings, as many of these happy couples are no longer with us. These films capture a time in this country when everything was so much more relaxed and traditional. the couple viewing their new house on this building site are taking their life in their hands crossing that minefield of building materials and precariously stacked scaffold boards!
