One of my Dad's films shows the steam railway from Goodrington Sands station along the coast to Dartmouth :-) I think it's the one in the 70s. Here it is ruclips.net/video/o7n3GlJKdxU/видео.htmlsi=dtKpIaLRRdaubosU

Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. My grandparents, in retirement, lived along the coast in Exmouth but we had day trips via rail to places such as Brixham. That was back in the 1960s and I’m sad to say I’ve never been back there. Probably I’d be very disappointed.
That's amazing to hear thank you so much for your comments. My Dad is coming up for 90yo and Ive spent a lot of time scanning his old films to preserve them and am absolutely delighted people are enjoying them too now 😁
@@tonygcox I’m glad you’re preserving them, as they are fascinating and important glimpses into the past. I was born in 1958 so this really is a trip down memory lane. My dad died last November aged 96 and we’ve been sorting through his thousands of photographs. My uncle in Truro who’s been dead many years took thousands of hours of cine film. Unfortunately my cousin has never got around to cataloguing or preserving them. Keep up the good work.
@markshrimpton3138 definitely your feedback ia encouraging me no end I also have thousands of 35mm slides and will see if i have any of this area of the UK in his collection to scan :-)
Sadly his later films are on camcorder tapes which are noticeably poorer quality than these old films. Amazing to think 60s clockwork tech was better ....
