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

We love Lyme Regis !

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!

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. 😊

A wonderful piece of archive footage

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

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.

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 😢😢

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

Fascinating movie lovely music congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 👏

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 🌞🌴

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. 😍

And me. Live in Crewkerne.

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

been there loads of times, nice place thanks for putting up.

What a joy this is, my home town bustling with tourist's and locals, I was 11 then, nostalgic. Thank you Dave Eldergill :)

So glad you enjoyed it

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.

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 !

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.

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

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....

Hi, finding the right music for these vintage, silent home movies can be difficult at times because of copyright. However KZread provide a library of copyright free music to use. This piece is called Snowy Peaks pt I and it's by Chris Haugen

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.

The most amazing thing is how no one was fat back then !,, no under active thyroids back then 😏
