Wow just amazing such a long time ago 1960s such good years. The dress is so much different then but people just enjoyed life back then. Thanks for uploading this just amazing
Re: the comment about No overweight people in the film. In the mid- 1960's, very few people had cars....When my Mum and dad took me from Portsmouth to Lyme area for holidays ....in our little Bubble-car..., I was a rare lucky kid! But we All walked everywhere then, took a bike Or the bus, ate decent meals at regular times, no fast food except a fish n chips treat on the beach! And Very rare toffee apple at the fair! Even at Lovely Lyme, I only remember picnics with sandwiches and fruit, Collecting fossil bits at lunchtime. After MANY holiday's there over a lifetime....I now live in Exeter....which is Amazing....and close enough for lovely Days out to Lyme.....rather than long drives for a holiday. 😊
Wonderful collection of scenes. Lyme Regis has not changed that much, other than cosmetic, over the 60+ years I've been associated with it. Most significantly, the beach has been improved and the walk from the new car park via Black Ven cliff is a joy. We can't do anything about the amount of traffic but we can still enjoy one of my favourite places in Dorset. Super video and great choice of music, thanks! 🥰
I was. There in. 1966 we used to. Go. To. See films. At. The little cinema. And. Smoke. French. Ciggies. I was. 16. Living at. Rhodesia hill. It’s now flats. Happy. Days. X
Fantastic times in my life ,this was when I believe the country was a much happier place and simple pleasures like British holidays wish I could turn back time
Happy day's long gone I'm afraid, we were at Lyme Regis in July and it's so different from 1960, long gone has the bottom promenade which is buried in shingle with only the top one remaining, wish those innocent day's were still here 😢😢
My first time at Lyme was 1967, with my parents. Lovely to be reminded of how it looked back then. 3 Cups Hotel was running, and the last shop opposite the Cobb pub/hotel was a large restaurant. Thank you for the video
Thanks for this. I could well have been there, was in my early teens then and grew up in south Somerset. Went to Lyme Regis regularly. Wonderful memories. 😍
How the memories return. The scene with the lad tapping the spade on the top of the bucket. Until seeing this video I'd completely forgotten about doing the same myself! All that from a few minutes of watching a cine video !
Just at the end of my five years of living in Lyme. I loved the place and had some great friends there. I came back many times including once at 40,000 feet in a PR Canberra to take aerial photos, one of which has been presented to the museum.
Wow nice film I'm a local and not alot of change now acsept cliffs all diff shapes due to all the falls in past 63 years. Fabe movie. I got alot of movies my late dad took off Lyne and west bay on super 8 film. I must get them put on my computer, so I can share them.
Very nostalgic. Super film. Used to holiday in Lyme for many years when I was small back in the 1950's. Lovely memories of the Air Sea Rescue launches in their cradles inside the Cobb and the mackerel fishing boats. "Any more for a trip?". We used to travel by train from Surrey back then, change at Axminster for the branch line. Took most of the day to get there. Can do it by car in a few hours now.
Lovely film Dave ,many thanks,being a northener,Lyme Regis could have been the other side of the world to me,Scarborough was my favourite seaside resort,although I had a friend who regularly visited Cornwall at that time,he had an Aunt living near Truro.Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it. There is something about the perspective of an amateur home movie which captures the time and place in a way a professional film never can
Memories of staying in the caravan at Timbervale, going out in the mackerel boats and rowing boats, seeing the Air Sea launches in the harbour, walking along the Cobb, and walking along the rocky beach looking for fossils. That was in the early 50's. There was also a putting green in the gardens which alas are long gone due to many landslips.
Hi, finding the right music for these vintage, silent home movies can be difficult at times because of copyright. However RUclips provide a library of copyright free music to use. This piece is called Snowy Peaks pt I and it's by Chris Haugen
Absolutely delightful footage, although it's sad to think most of the holiday makers are no longer with us, or are coming to the end of their lives....
Lots of videos to see Dave; wonderful seaside scenes, a quieter, less hurries lifestyle. Very interesting 1976 video of the Larchfield football team. Were ALL the boys deaf? Maybe it was a special needs school? The film must have been earlier or later that year as that was the '76 scorcher when the grass went brown during a very severe drought! UK was like Spain! Looks green in this film.
Hi, thanks for your comments. Yes the Larchmoor School was a residential school for deaf children in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire which was open between 1966 and 1981. Took me a bit of research to find it as there was no information on the cine reel I scanned. The film of a group of children visiting Clifton Downs, Bristol in 1979 was from the same collection of films so most likely the same School.
Wow just amazing such a long time ago 1960s such good years. The dress is so much different then but people just enjoyed life back then. Thanks for uploading this just amazing
Fascinating movie lovely music congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 👏
Oh boy, my second home throughout the 60s. Thankyou for this wonderful film.❤
Glad you enjoyed it

How wonderful that it has hardly changed at all in 64 years!! I swim there 3/4 times a week in the summer, beautiful place!
Absolutely wonderful people looked so much healthier
Love Lyme Regis, thanks for sharing, myself and family have been going on holiday down to Lyme since 2012. Hope to be back again this summer 🌞🌴

Let me know if you do and I will look out for them
@@DaveEldergillCineFilm I live in Chideock. My late perants lived in Charmouth.
If you have old cine film it would be 'super' to get them digitised so they can be shared. Good luck with it. 🙂

Thank you, these cine films are a wonderful glimpse into the past from an unique amateur filmmakers perspective

Brilliant video, what is the music please.

It is sad but so great that amateur filmmakers at the time, captured these moments for ever.
I always think that too, and the Poodle and Spaniel, very nice though.
@@DaveEldergillCineFilm It's great you have put them on here for all to see too.
@MrCrabbing Oh I thought that about the dogs too! ❤

A lot less seagulls on those beaches back then - bloody things as big as vultures now . - definitely need a gull cull
They go where there is easy food, so I guess it's our fault.
Think their numbers were controlled years back , illegal now - insanity .
I live in a seaside town and I am exasperated by the number of visitors who feed them chips etc
Far far too many of em nowadays. Akin to eagles some of em. Literally ambushing humans .
The most amazing thing is how no one was fat back then !,, no under active thyroids back then 😏
