I would have much rather been alive for all of this. Fleetwood is not like this, and hasn't been for some time. Such a shame.

This was my uncle Ken's video. The family by the beach is my nan, my mum and my aunties.

Brilliant. I remember all that after 26min in. Fleetwood was paradise for me as a youngster. Remember Professor Grey on the prom, the old rogue would sell you a lucky Buddha, if I remember rightly. Always moaning about a butcher from Burnley who won £10,000 on the pools with his Buddha - "......and never gave me another penny" I could go on and on, great days to be young.

Fantastic video from a Knott Ender, used to go over the ferry in the early to mid 60’s and go on Corrigan’s, and can still feel how cold that water was at Marine Gardens open air baths. Sadly neither Knott End nor Fleetwood have the same attractions

Brilliant video :-) Brings back many happy memories. Great to see the legendary Professor Grey promoting his LUCKY BUDDHAS!!

My home town,,,Born in Milton Lodge and grew up in Windsor Place.Moved away to another country 1972

Thanks. Ken Wright was the music tutor at Fleetwood Sea Cadets, and thanks to him, we won the national band contest for 10 years running. I never knew he made films, but it was great seeing him again. A really nice bloke. Plus seeing Fleetwood as I remember it when I was young. Imagine trying to get those floats down Lord street now. There would be some pointless parasite with his risk assessment, refusing to allow it without a ridiculous level of insurance. I hope some more films appear

WoW thats me Dave Wilson at 50.04 on the swings in the park, in time with the music and no hands !

Took me back to the 50s. The band were national champions and led the parade on Mayoral Sunday.

GOOD MORNING 🌞🌄 EXCELLENT VIDEO AS USUAL JOHN FROM BELFAST THANKS 😊😅😮😢🎉🎉🎉🎉

WoW, Thats my sister Jennifer Wilson at 52.31 and 56.08, 1960 or 61 , i was riding in the cab as a 5 or 6 year old with my friend Bryan Bond, Dave Wilson .

Fantastic video of Fleetwood great times

Very good. Guessing this was the mid to late 60s as there is reference to the M1 but pre decimal prices.

i attended the cadets in 1982 for two years, great video

Priceless !

6:50 - 7:37 This is not Fleetwood. Never was. I don't know where it is but it's definitely not Fleetwood. [Edit] From 7:37 - 26:25 Yeah, definitely not Fleetwood also. No way was the dockyard area of Fleetwood able to accommodate ships of these size. 26:25+ Yes, this is Fleetwood. 28:40 Oh, ho ho. Corrigans. I worked for them for about a week around 1982. Let's just say my telling them to shove it was by mutual agreement - they sacked me for "torturing" their dog for playing ball with it without their permission. I'm not joking. 😂 37:25 - 38:35 Such lovely scenes of kids being introduced to the sea and encouraged to play in it - just like my earliest childhood memories.

Some scenes appear to have been filmed in Preston Dock.

6.50 - it's coming into Douglas, Isle of Man

In the carnival procession sequence, towards the end, the building to the right of the Chronicle office seems to have a name like “Georgian Arms” - does anyone remember it?

Whereabouts is this in Fleetwood, I'm joining the Nautical College in September and would be interested in where the Sea Cadets were.

Does anyone remember the bbc documentary Becoming Julie about the man from Fleetwood who had the uks very first sex change operation it was filmed in the 70s and was fascinating . He later became a bit on an icon in Manchester and only died a year or so ago
