At the age of 18 I hitch hiked down to Penzance from Colchester in Essex, it was 1965 and the going was good. It was meant to be for a couple of weeks, but I was hooked and did not leave until 1988. In 2008 at the age of 62 I returned to end my days in my beloved Cornwall , Although it is hardly the same place it was in 1965. but , I am still here at the old age of 78 years and will die here . Thank you for such fond memory`s, when the going was GOOD !
What a wonderful story - thank you for sharing it. I hope you are enjoying your retirement. Visited Cornwall when I was 6yo - stayed at Mevagissy - although don't remember much about it - but have been back a few times since and it is a beautiful county - although one week it poured with rain the whole time - possibly why there is a lot of greenery about!
It breaks my heart to see how our beautiful beaches and coves have been taken over ..our polzeath has changed so much over the past 30 yrs it's overcrowded and cuts deep . Really cuts deep .
So lovely to see this footage without the sprawl of properties that have gone up over the years. When I look at polzeath now , from the hill , it resembles a rock with barnacles and muscles covering rocks by sea. Everywhere seems full ..every space is built on , horrible big ugly buildings ,and during the spring n summer , tez so full , us locals don't go out , tez so crowded . ..cant park , can't do anything. I am NOT against our visitors ! I'm greatful for you all and thank you for economy boost ...im just so sad that the intense building of holiday complexes have grown far too big ...our little seaside coves are dark , dark at night , empty cottages and. Houses during winter time ...and so many of us locals have no chance to live where we were born , around our families and friends as properties are way way out of any of our budgets ..so ..housing estates have been built ...more and more. ..houses homes ...and yet our houses in our area have been knocked down to build huge holiday apartments..
There was a beautiful bungalow in polzeath that was sold for 3 mil ! Demolished to build a huge block looked like lego! Apartments...a cottage by the beach over 200 yrs old demolished again for a lego type building of apartments . It makes me weep ! I never want to be bitter ...but im angry and so very sad ...
Please can't we have a voice and stop the building of these things growing ? I feel its greed ...and lots of it ...
Sorry for the misery but tez on my heart a lot ....
Thank you for your comments. I want to do more Now and Then films (I did one for Skegness last September) - but Skegness is local to me - Cornwall would present more of a challenge - but in future will film places we visit in case I get a cine film to compare. I do have one of Boston from the 1960/70s and that will be fairly east to do as I live in the area.
We went to Bude in 1965 in a Triumph Herald, I was 8 years old and it was the furthest i'd ever been. We had steak pies in a pub and played skittles in the wooden bowling alley. We stayed in a big caravan on a site. Just such an innocent time.
That was 7 years after my first holiday in Cornwall (Mevagissy). I was 6yo. We rented a house - there were 2 families. We travelled overnight to avoid the worst of the traffic. Where did you travel from?
@@TransportNostalgia We lived in Winchester, I used to walk or bike safely all over and i knew every little lane and turning. In 1968 at 11 years old, I went on my own to Earls Court for the Motor Show, on the train and the underground, only met help and kindness on the way.
@ Certainly safer times. Everyone showed each respect.
The A30 here has been opened right up ..good to a point but ...our villages coastal, can't cope with the enormous influx...I love our visitors , don't get me wrong please , but , its too overcrowded...nowhere to park , everywhere is backed up , it's so so sad ...
If we are not careful, we could loose our beautiful coves and villages to far too many swarms of buildings going up at the behest of greedy councils ...and somehow we just can't stop it. .
Love this film. So so much. I wish twas still the same now ...
Thank you for your kind comments. It makes it all the more worthwhile to edit these films - and I have more of Cornwall to show.
The real, wonderful, unspoilt Cornwall. I would have been aged one, probably building a sandcastle and running to the sea to fill my bucket up. Porth was always my favourite. I would cycle down to the beach after school for a quick dip. Cornwall is completely ruined now, full of selfish newcomers seeking the idyll which disappeared years ago under a mass of cheap housing estates and concrete.
My haunt used to be Skegness - certainly not on the same scale as Cornwall - but the decline is still the same. Used to go to Skegness every Sunday - but rarely go now - and it is only 45 minutes away.
Brilliant footage of Cornwall when it was a far away remote county ,sadly now over developed, newbuilds everywhere ,soulless pvc windows in old cottages and botch ,destroyed by modern day people ,look what theve done to ye old St lves ,and the corrupt council let the developers do it 🤬
Thank you. We visited St Ives a few years ago - and enjoyed our (day) visit. But so busy.
I think everyone at that time used to camp, tents! we came we stayed we left no trace. too many second homes now, need to be stopped and more soft industries encouraged to set up for locals
The roads get very busy even at off peak times.
A time when Newquay was special, not anymore sadly.
So I believe. I was surprised how run down the town was - the beaches were fine though!
Sorry, but in ‘65, people said that the county is being ruined by the tourists, and looked back to “the good old days” places change, people do not.
The same thing will happen in 60 years time. Please will think back to the present time and says it was wonderful!
I came to live down hear in 1966 in Mouzul Where have all the locales gone long time ago when will they ever learn absent fiends Happy Days
Have the locals sold up and moved to cheaper locations?
