Wonderful scenes and especially the quality of the film itself. How tired these holiday places, like Yarmouth, look now. No one has much pride in their towns these days while all the streets are jammed full of traffic.
I love these kinds of films, the history of England's regions, the accents, the dialects. We never were "one" country so to speak. We have always been diverse, and on a day to day basis regional identity has often been stronger than national identity. Why, we even used to have a whole bunch of kings ruling different regions. Great Britain - what a nation, what history, what people!
We don’t all speak like they do in Somerset, perhaps the raconteur didn’t do enough listening to how people in Norfolk really speak! He’s not the first, and won’t be the last, we don’t all speak like Cornish pirates, or Tom Forrest in “the Archers”!

It is a social nightmare that Yarmouth and Lowestoft are now being filled with 'Africa's overspill' populations and 'self-exported dross' from other third world countries that have invaded to swill from the UK taxpayer-funded welfare trough. The social homogeneity of East Anglia is being deliberately destroyed by the race-industry's imposition of 'enforced multiculturalism at any costs' , and the crime rate reflects that undesirable change.
Harry Warne Mohammed Warne your purple-faced liberal outrage marks you as the "twat". It is obvious that 'the stone underneath which you dwell', is nowhere near the turd-world 'welfare tourist' colonies of Yarmouth or Lowestoft .
Harry Warne The point that you are too liberal to consider (or too dense to realise?) is Yarmouth and Lowestoft are now being filled with 'Africa's overspill' populations and 'self-exported dross' from other third world countries that have invaded to take up a 'LICENCE TO SWILL' an unearned drawdown of social benefits from the UK taxpayer-funded welfare trough. The social homogeneity of East Anglia is being deliberately destroyed by the race-industry's imposition of 'enforced multiculturalism at any costs' , and the crime rate reflects that undesirable change.
Bruv, this country is built on migrants. Time and time again studies and statistics show immigrants are a net gain for the UK. The fresh influx of younger labour helps prop up our aging population and the social services we all rely on. The NHS would not be able to run without the large amount of migrant labour it needs. There is no proof that there is an en masse influx of immigrants putting extra strain on social services. The vast majority of migrants work hard and pay taxes, thus contributing to the overall prosperity of the country. You're just repeating stock phrases but it doesn't reflect any reality. And pretty racist stock phrases at that. You are the descendent of immigrants who arrived in the UK centuries ago, if not sooner. Populations move around all the time. Stop getting your knickers in a twist because you saw someone with different colour skin to you. Come join the 21st century. Or, get out of my town if you don't like it. Go start a commune with a bunch of other racist conspiracy theorists.
If the only suffering that you experience is having to socialise with individuals that do not suit your eye and mannerisms, then you really have it very, very easy.
That is not an East Anglian accent of any kind. It's a laughable attempt at one by someone who has done their very best but has my Suffolk in-laws in stitches !
@marktravelling what are you talking about; the guy in the filum was probably some londoner from travel agency or w.e. they were called in them days; im from norfolk and i know; if anyone wants to hear what a REAL norfolk accent sounds like then you should listen to the guy in my broad norfolk dialect video.
@chanctonbury63 How right you are!.. There's no place like good old McBritain.. How I love to watch the chavs screaming round the concrete hell of inner-city Blighty in stolen-cars.. and watch the sunsetting over the retail-parks and burger-drive-ins.. and read of the latest crime-figures and oap murders..It gives one the sense of a true Renaissance..
@12Aggiefan Sorry to spoil the party, but we were a tired country in serious decline and it got much much worse. Loss of empire, War recovery, then we had the economically calamitous 60s and 70s to look forward to. It wasnt until maybe 30 years later that we really began to turn things around.
@markimark03 Its happening all over the place. I grew up in W Sussex. People spoke in a similar way to those in Dorset. Now, except very occasionally, theres nothing left of that anymore. Shame really.
What I think people are saying is....what has happened to our once beautiful country and its inhabitants,all gone in the name of multiculturalism and `profit/greed...so very sad.
@chanctonbury63 there's no mistaking that voice, even with the bad accent! (can't stand the bloke generally, but i DID like him in a film called "pool of london" 1951)
It's a shame that the 'Norfolk' guy's accent sounds like a non-East Anglian reading from a script. It's specifically Norfolk that he's trying to do (rather than Suffolk), but it's still a pretty poor attempt.
@rubysson57 What exactly are" indiginous Englanders"? Immigration has always been a part of what has made this country great and I think you'll find that many English people have grandparents or great-grandparents who were immigrants. And as for saying that they're in a minority, what rot. Evidence to back up your ludicrous claim please?

I love these old British tourist films ! Don’t you wish you could go back just for a day !
Isn't nostalgia a wonderfully comforting thing!

My childhood came flooding back, thank you !
A lovely little gem..!

An absolute gem from the British Transport Film Unit.
My family is sourced from Suffolk in East Anglia, I hope to come for a visit sometime
When England was England❤️
quite splendid
'Places like YYYYAAARRRRRRRRmouth'!!
love it!
Booootiful
I love the phoney local accent! Great gem of a film.
Very good!
Norfolk dialect is hard to do thats why many voiceovers sound like west country cider drinking accents. This is pretty close!!! ;-)
This is amazing. I'm from the area. I believe I recognise Santon Downham church at 0:33? Yet the trees are so small!
That accent though... hmmm
I love Kings Lynn, Cromer, and NE Norfolk. it maybe now theres a recession the londoners will bugger off back home! hoepfully
Super!
Remember Yarmouth being a nice place to visit as a kid, now its a run down sad old place and full of foreigners ,
I bet the water at the beach was freezing...Are there any fish left in those waters?...love the film ..tnakks!!
of all the people they could have got to do the "local dialect" voice-over they had to pick james robertson bastard justice.
I lived in Lowestoft back in the1950/early 60s and can honestly say that is a totally unconvincing East Anglian accent. Excellent film quality though.
I kept expecting to see a bloke pushing a bike up a cobbled street selling Hovis bread!

High ricketty Barlow ? Please some kind person explain why herrings get this treatment.
@12Aggiefan
perhaps you could explain what "pure" anglo-scandinavian" is?
sounds like james robinson justice.
That is not an East Anglian accent of any kind. It's a laughable attempt at one by someone who has done their very best but has my Suffolk in-laws in stitches !
An age before chavs.
All of you people who believe that poverty and immigration were suddenly just "invented" in the 70s or whatever are all dumb as shit
No but you might have gotten stabbed by teddy boy though.

That attempt at a Norfolk accent is truly cringeworthy, mars an otherwise lovely snapshot of life in Norfolk.
