If you enjoy looking at old cine films, please subscribe to my channel as I have a large collection of films that I am working through and I try to upload at least two new films a week of clips that I think could be of interest to other people.

Thank you for posting this wonderful footage, Geoff!
Many thanks for the memories chef Leo x
Absolutely beautiful place to live back then I had a wonderful childhood growing up on the harbour helping on the fishing boats
Lovely, beautiful, mum and dad used to take us to Ilfracombe for 6 years. We loved it.
Beautiful place.
One of the great attractions was the indoor swimming pool.
So sad they demolished it.
Ifracombe was a lovely and beautiful place.

It still is in my opinion.
Uh, we still have one...
Shame they couldn't have demolished the whole of Ilfracombe when they demolished the old swimming pool,it may have been ok in the summer for holiday makers, but in winter it was sh*t, I know I was born and bred there
Love this , reminds me of my childhood holidays there ..thank you ...
love this place hope to be back down their soon..
Well the tears came a flooding haha thanks for posting :-)
lovely film. I'm guessing due to the dramatic zoom, the white Ford Granada was the cameramans! lol.
Sad to say that although we still have the beautiful coastline the town is just awful. Walked through there yesterday late afternoon, drunks and druggies, and having to move onto the road to make way for the smokers outside working men's clubs. I'm embarrassed that I moved here, really embarrassed. Can't wait to sell and go. My childhood holiday memories didn't carry into adulthood.
Run down hotels and architecture. Sat outside Spoons where the conversations were full of the 'f' word. Walked back through the 'gardens', a group of drunks there with a poor husky dog that looked so sad. I would have rescued him if I could. Amazed at how these people have animals. Mention Ilfracombe anywhere in Devon and you will hear it's a joke.
I agree with your thinking but surly it’s just state of the country everything is failing nation wide!! I’m born and bread and hate to see it go to shit bit at least we have the coast and country side as was
My childhood holidays in the mid eighties
Ditto…
Very little has changed..
Still a great pleasure to watch Geoff think you should put it on the FB Ilfracombe site.
i remember playing in the fountain in the summer and paddling in it good days
Brilliant, ta 🙂
The 1984 horror movie "PAPERHOUSE" was partially filmed in Illfracombe, it featured the Britannia hotel, the harbour, and the hill up to the chapel.
I cried
Geoff, Westward TV did a programme in the 1970's about the harbour, don't suppose you have come across it have you?
Love the Film if you ever want to sell the original film please let me know
how the place is so different..
What is the music playing in this film please? It's really emotional and suits this so well.
It's a track called remembering colors from a company called Digital Juice www.digitaljuice.com/Intl
Geoff Claydon Thanks so much!
i live here
1.28 girl walking is Claire Stuart !!
It has that strange statue now.
What was a sailors' bethel?
Yeah, but I mean what is a "bethel"..is it like a members club for fishermen, ect ?
Nice place Ilfracombe, but prefer Torquay way better.
Almost looked the exact same.
Does anyone remember the swimming pool?
Hello Alison,,, YES I do remember the OLD indoor pool.
I've tried and tried with the Council to get some photos of the old pool.
Is that the one you are asking about? Next to Capston Hill?
Hello Alsion.
As I said before, Yes I do remember the OLD indoor pool in Ilfracombe.
We loved it. Our family used to go there loads of times.
So sad that it has been demolished now to make room for a theatre. So sad.
I asked he council several times for some photos, but they were too expensive.
We loved that pool.
Is that the one you meant? The indoor pool?

The old swimming pool was nowhere near where the theatre is Ian
The new theatre is almost on top of the old swimming pool
@@dizzy1753 I remember it had a high diving board, and viewing galleries all around.
It was the first swimming pool I ever went in. I'm 54 now.
I remember my dad (young at the time) diving off the top board to impress me and my brother. I think I was about 5.
Only when I got older, did I realise dad hated heights!
Good memories of lovely Ilfracombe x
U CAN SEE MY MUMS MUM IN THIS!
No one Likes you where?
