Dartmouth, July 1960, Amateur Home Movie Cine Film
A hot summer's day in July 1960. This amateur home movie cine is nearly fifteen minutes long and captures a Devon holiday location over sixty years ago. There are boats on the river, footage from the town with great vintage cars, both car ferries, and even some nice seaside filming at Blackpool Sands (Devon not Lancashire) I particularly like the bit with the scooters, two young lads, and their girlfriends riding pillion, coming off the ferry.
Do you have old home movies you would like to convert to digital like the films on my channel?
I can save your vintage cine films, camcorder tapes, and VHS to either a memory stick or DVD
Contact me at dave.eldergill@yahoo.co.uk if you are interested
If you would like a digital copy of any of the films on my KZread channel, edited without titles and music please contact me.
I have the files as recorded from the scanner and can re-edit them to create the stabilised and colour corrected MP4 file, but I will not add my watermarks or titles. I would however make a small charge for the service of providing the files. Let me know if you are interested. Contact me at dave.eldergill@yahoo.co.uk

My late wife came from this beautiful town.I was there many times during the 60s.
Lots of interest for Dartmothians, including the Boatfloat when it was kept whitewashed, the Globe Inn, the two garages on the Embankment (Walls and Couch & Stoneman), the station still overhanging the water, the Adrian Gilbert and Humphrey Gilbert on the passenger ferry, no houses up Jawbones... Lovely too to see the Dart before the Harbour Authority filled every square inch with yacht moorings.
I often search KZread for vintage Dartmouth videos, my mother grew up in Dartmouth and I like to watch and hope to catch a glimpse of her or my grandparents or uncles and aunties, she would have been 15 years old when this was filmed and I can't wait to show her this video, I'm so glad you made this video public, thank you ❤️🇬🇧
Love the shot of the Lambrettas coming off the Higher Ferry at 08:42 🤜 🤛

It is interesting to compare the vintage view with today’s up to date computer images, I find it really usefull when trying to find out the locations on some of the films which have no labels on them.
Dartmouth hasn’t changed that much.

@deanlee7034 Not quite. Mass immigration as you call it was a post war thing due to Labour shortages thanks largely to our German neighbours! But yes you are right the tories hadn't got us into Europe by then, and they hadn't completely decimated our industry by then neither
