Lovely, and very thought provoking. Been visiting Cornwall since I was a toddler with my parents, I'm now 68, and had the pleasure of living in the Duchy for ten years but all good things come to an end. Despite the so called "progress" of the 20th century, still my favourite place on the planet and for so many places depicted here, other than fashions and traffic, not that much different than they were a century ago. Thank you
The good old days - we had it all - tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, no antibiotics... But we did have community and people talked to each other in the streets, shops, pubs and churches instead of hiding in their homes behind tv's or computers, getting the shopping delivered by vans that block the lanes and pollute the air we breathe while our streams, rivers and seas were unpolluted and our food wasn't wrapped in plastic, was seasonal and sourced locally. All sacrificed on the altar of progress, which in itself is synonymous with the amount of distance we can put between ourselves and anything that is simple, natural or easy.
Did you notice, I'm sure you did, villages were full of everyday life and not tidy and sterile as today. I live in an old cottage on the side of a mountain, I decided to return it to how it looked 150 years ago. ( On the outside at least) so much prettier then. In days gone past. you knew which county you were in by the style of the cottages.
An excellent video. having visited most of these Cornish places is great to see how little they have changed over the years. Thanks for the memories Bob
Hi NTRSN..Thank you for your comment. Cornwall is a must visit, have included a link to my last visit. ruclips.net/video/lCtUfUKb60Y/видео.htmlsi=FvadvUzeb_XCOAgH
Great video. I was in Cornwall in march.its an amazing place. I highly recommend helson lizard point and lands end. My ggs are from Cornwall. Penzance area My 2xg grandfather was on a shipwreck in 1863 a few days befor he got married at Madron .the ship was called Scotia.
Thank you for sharing this collection of then and now photo’s Of great interest to me was the photo of the first and last inn at sennen village, as my grandparents kept the inn around that time. I’ve not seen that photo before. Great video 👍
Correction to my last comment! It should read great grandparents kept the inn at this time. It’s not actually down in sennen cove, it’s at sennen church town on top of the hill. Seems to be some event taking place, all the children well dressed. I wonder if grandfather is among them🙂👍
I'm from California but my mother's side of the family is from Wisconsin. My mother's mother's side of the family is all from Cornwall. We have a lot of family history there near Launceston. That area used to be part of Devon as I have a prayer book my great-great-great-grandfather wrote inside in 1834 and he said he was from North Petherwin, Devon. I believe the border was changed around 1980 and the area became part of Cornwall again.
Eine tolle Arbeit von dir - da ich viele Orte in den letzten Jahren besuchen konnte, waren die Bilden von damals besonders interessant. Grundsätzlich ist der Charakter geblieben - das finde ich sehr bemerkenswert. Auch ein Zeichen von Tradition, was ich sehr mag. Beste Grüße und alles Gute für dich, Konrad.
I also hope that you and the family are doing well. Unfortunately, due to my wife's "insecurity" of health, I am unable to travel with her. I would love to go to my “favorite island” again and especially to Wales. We always really enjoyed it there. But hope remains and when it's possible again, we'll fill up the tank and head to GB. . . Greetings from Konrad.
@@rabbastern Hi Konrad , hope your wife's health problems are not serious, and you will be able to travel again soon. If you do come to Wales again, we will have to meet for a coffee. Best Wishes rom Bridgend.
mann muss wissen, dass es eine baeuerliche Landbevoelkerung in Britain nicht gab, da es so gut wie keine Landwirtschaft gab, Es gab nur eine Arbeiterschaft, die von Arbeiten in kleinen Fabriken und Werkstaetten oder vom Transport oder der Seefahr lebte. Alles wurde vom Landadel kontrolliert., auf den man stolz ist.
Righton? I'm 65 years old now. At age 8 years I heard my first English accent: 1968. I went to Mylor Primary School. I got dropped off from the farm one morning and my mates were going mad. They said aliens had lande, killed Esketh Williams and taken over Esketh William's shop! "Hell !!!" Turned out Esketh had retired and people from Birmingham had bought it. Nice people, too. Now, in 2024 I can walk up through Mylor and be damn lucky if I hear a Cornish accent spoke. Seems like a lot more aliens, "Cuckoos", have migrated here, turfed a lot of the local "birds" outa their "nests" . Many stop for 6 months of the year, before flitting off for the remaining 6 months. More of them are roosting here permanently though. 🤔Global "warming" I spect. Bleddy things!🤐
The early pictures are lovely, but they lack yellow lines and cars and those poor people could talk with one another in the middle of the road where, obviously ,the rights of poor horsemen with carts had not yet been taken into consideration.
Some miner misstakes, Penzance and Penryn are towns not villages, The Frist and Last House at Lands End was written up as The Frist and Last inn and The Frist and Last inn was written up as The Frist Hotel, do wish whoever did this did their home work and got their facts correcr😢😢

Always a pleasure to see the lost Cornwall....thank you...also can you tell me the lovely haunting backtrack to your video??
Hi Roy, Thank you for your comment. As to the sound track , its called Parting Time , however its only available on my video editing programme.
I'm from California but my mother's side of the family is from Wisconsin. My mother's mother's side of the family is all from Cornwall. We have a lot of family history there near Launceston.

I believe the border was changed around 1980 and the area became part of Cornwall again.
That’s interesting, I never knew that Launceston was originally in Devon, although it’s on the border. Have you ever been to Cornwall?
@@jimmyskyblue6057 No I've never been to Cornwall but my parents have back in 1980. I would love to go there someday.

Do understand that people loved being in any picture then and it is not so much the case today, unless it's a selfie

Some miner misstakes, Penzance and Penryn are towns not villages, The Frist and Last House at Lands End was written up as The Frist and Last inn and The Frist and Last inn was written up as The Frist Hotel, do wish whoever did this did their home work and got their facts correcr😢😢
Thanks for pointing out those errors, by the way you misspelt miner misstakes😉
Loved the video Taff, with love Kernow.
