  I really enjoyed watching this. My parents (Joan and Wilson Halliday) were members all their lives and I spent a lot of time at the club in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Spotted my father and sister briefly at a picnic. Thank you for sharing this,

  When I was about 10 back in the very early 1960s I 'worked' on the miniature railway collecting tickets. This was during the summer holidays when the place was full of holidaymakers. The driver was too busy to do it. For about 3 hours work the 'pay' was one free train ride. I also was one of several kids who 'worked' on the pony rides next to the railway, walking the tourist kids and ponies round a short track. Our reward was one pony ride at the end of an afternoon's effort, minus someone to lead us. These were both highly prized little jobs and I had to leave home near Fratton station to walk there in good time to be at the front of the queue to do them - it was a bitter blow if I was too late to be first. We were quite poor back then and I never had money for such treats, so the thrill of being able to enjoy these expensive - 6d! - experiences was immense. My two brothers and I were very enterprising and did lots of jobs - collecting newspapers for the glass factory in Greetham St paid actual cash which we used to maintain the go cart we hauled round town collecting papers on. Lemonade bottles had a penny return if you took them to any shop that sold the pop, so we were always after those. Running to the shops for neighbours was a massive activity, but paid zero - my mother was too proud for us to get tipped for it. Consequently, I was run off my feet some days lugging bags of spuds back from the Co-op on my trusty cart. Of course, back then we were out all day without supervision and we trusted adults to be kind to us.

  This is my Mum's poem about the Whitsun Treat. She lived in Tremorfa in Cardiff. THE WHITSUN TREAT - Margaret Morgan The Reverend said when we met in the street “If you don’t come to church, you’ll be sorry For you won’t get a ticket to the Whitsun Treat And you won’t get a ride on the lorry”. So there we were on Sunday night All dressed in our fine Whitsun clothes Up on the platform behind the pulpit We stood in neat little rows. The Reverend said a blessing He said “It’s nice to see you here I only wish it was every Sunday Instead of just once a year”. Mam swore he was looking at us when he said it And she said “You’re not going again”, But on Monday she had us up early And down at the church by ten. She wrote my name on my ticket And pinned it to my frock Then she tied my money in a hankie And stuffed it in my sock. (Well knickers don’t rhyme with frock!) The day was bright and sunny As we leaned against the wall Watching them fill the lorry With benches they took from the hall. Then off we went to St Mellons Behind The Fox and Hounds The Pub itself - the Reverend said- Was strictly out of bounds. But Dad and Mr Foley went - They went about eleven They were very merry by half past one And paralytic by seven. Meanwhile, we had the races Three-legged and Egg and Spoon Then the boys rode a race on their father’s back It was just like a scene from High Noon. We had a mug of milk and a sticky bun Which they served in the big Marquee And later on, a bottle of pop And a piece of slab cake for tea. Soon the day was over And we climbed back on the lorry Dad snored all the way home And Mam said he’d be sorry. Oh yes we had a marvellous time A really lovely day It beats all those trips to a foreign clime No matter what they say. I think of all the children Going off by car or plane To spend their Whitsun holidays On the sunny coast of Spain. Just think what they are missing As they lie there in the sun Stingy nettles and cowpats And a great big sticky bun!

  This brought back wonderful memories of my visit to Portsmouth in 1955, age 8. I remember travelling on the paddle steamers to the Isle of Wight and going on the Southsea miniature railway but I had forgotten about the small motorboats. They were great fun to go on. This was a time when the Rock Gardens were magnificent and lines of different coaches were parked near to South Parade pier giving trips to places like Minehead and Bridgewater.

  I think that was the old car ferry from Old Portsmouth to Gosport that existed in my childhood - I was born in Portsmouth in 1954, and grew up in Gosport. It saved a long, long car journey all around the back of the harbour.

  3:00 onward was filmed at South Parade Pier- at 3:;48 you see an easterly view and in the distance, the clock tower of Eastney Royal Marine barracks can be seen- the barracks is now housing. South Parade Pier was burned down during the filming of "Tommy" in 1974 and some of the fire was incorporated into the film- a scaled down new version was built.

  @NickRatnieks3 жыл бұрын

  @@lizanne631 That's so great to know because you, and I assume your brother are central to the film. We can see South Parade- where the pier is and eastward from there over the canoe lake and the gardens there which are around Lumps Fort which became a rose garden- and Eastern Parade and further east to Eastney- dominated by the clock tower. I lived as a child in a road off Eastern Parade which had huge admiral's houses-so knew that area very well. There was a pitch and put course over the road but I doubt it was there in 1946. The miniature railway was beyond Southsea Castle which is west of South Parade Pier next to the promenade and I think the putting greens were on Southsea Common- there was a roller-skating rink there as well. The film of the ferry which may have been to Gosport is probably down by The Hard- next to where Portsmouth Harbour station is- although it could be inside the harbour where we see the paddle steamers for the Isle of Wight in the film- I went on one shortly before they were replaced- the PS Ryde. Some of the film may have been taken at Clarence Pier which was further east of the railway but had been rebuilt by the time we moved to Southsea in the 1960s. We visited the pier in 1963 on a day trip- Navy Days was on, so we went on the ships and at the pier there was an animal freak show- a horse with five legs etc!
