What I would give to go back in time British people working hard on British soil . Living in Cornwall it’s a piece of the huge history in the region . Thank you !
I'm a very very proud Cornish-boy, and I will never leave this awesome county. My Grandparents met when they were in lanivet school, during ww2. Most evenings they would go to the top of a hill called old coach Rd, from therein was possible to see a very faint glow of Plymouth being bombed by German bombers, this was over 50 miles . My gran was visiting her gran5in St.Blazey there was a humm of a engine and my gran sJd it was a German plane he was so low that my gran could see the crew in the plane, they waved to my gran who waved back, ne t thing my gran could remember was waking up in hospital and being told she survived a bomb that pilot dropped as he waved to her. There were more raids in Cornwall that weren't mentioned especially around Falmouth and Budoek-vean, this was due because of the huge numbers of allied forces training for the d-day landings, , awesome video
Fantastic film, and yet disappointing! I had hoped to do a Then and Now comparative, seeking out the nominated places given, and then seeing them now on Google Maps. I have done this many times before, but on this occasion there appear to be some strange anomalies in the references spoken of. One example is Combe / Coombe Hampton. No matter how I tried, it appears elusive, or non extant. The only obvious place in the locality is Kilkhampton. Although the church tower seen of that place several times in the film seems correct, none of the professed views remotely marry to any that now exist. The church is slightly elevated in shots, and yet no such scenes exist anywhere around the town. I used old O/S maps, as usual, and again, nothing made any sense. I otherwise did find some of the farms mentioned, but little else. Can anyone kindly advise me at all? Thank you.

I've said that if someone invents a tardis, I'm going and never coming back to 2024.
Nice to see, a time long gone. All English people, noticed the men all wearing a shirt and tie even when working in the fields.
Utter gems like the British Transport Films and the GPO film unit.
Ah, I was born too late. I would have loved to live there back then.
I was born 70 years ago. Cherish the years that I have lived through.
Nostalgia , Its not was it used be !
2:03 View of Higher Ninestones pumping engine house with beam still in place on the bob wall long after the rest of the engine had been scrapped.
God bless them
Take me back.
Wow very nice and relaxing
Glad you think so!
Sanctuary Farm now offers holiday accommodation.

Hi, this is a great video! We are homestead yotubers too, subscribing now 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
The Ministry of Information was telling the people what they were fighting for. Ironically it all changed so fast after the war.
Our beautiful country before they flooded us with ferrels

I wish I was born on a farm 😅
Another Country it seems..
Oh dear ! Why does the Cornishman keep butting in !
That is no Cornish accent !
....breaking into Scottish at times!!
@@gordonsimpson3235and some Irish, must have been filmed in the war time, maybe to boost spirits
Sounds like Hollywood wrote the script
Yesh I was thinking more subtle Irish accent
Nice video, American accents, but nice video.
American accents???
Cornish accents
Don't be stupid.
Terrible accents.
Poor actors doing voices - the second farmer sounds like he's from Ulster at times
