Cleethorpes in the 1960s - a cine film by the late Stan Wilson

Some clips of Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, UK in the 1960s. The film includes the Bathing Pool, miniature railway, Marineland Zoo, the Boating Lake and the sea front near Ross Castle. A cine film by my late Grandad, Stan Wilson.

We used to holiday at the Fitties when I was a kid in the 70s. The zoo is just as I remember it with all the cars parked on the grass at the front.

Amazing 🤩 love these old films

Really enjoyed watching this quality film. My own grandad, Joseph Wilson, filmed Cleethorpes in 1963. It was interesting to see in Stan's film the fountain at 05:35 as in Joseph's film I am seen playing by it when it was under construction. If anybody is interested it can be seen on a channel "Joseph Wilson - His Wonderful World of Cine". Like Stan he filmed in colour and around East Yorkshire.

Pure nostalgia. I think I just saw a video of the amusement park abandoned. Curious.

Brings back memories, I posted some old Beachcomber caravan site yesterday. Quality not as good as here though.

What great footage! I'm working on a music video for a song about holidays with my Dad when we were younger - Cleethorpes was one of his favourites as a kid! Is there any chance I could get permission to use this please?

[@grapiken7766]

Any footage of Dreamland in the 70s?
