Lovely home movie film from Lyme Regis in the summer of 1960. Footage from town and beach not looking too different from how it is today, more than 60 years later.
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 KZfaq 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

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. 😊

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 😢😢

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.

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

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! 🥰

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.

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

@DaveEldergillCineFilm Жыл бұрын

Hi, finding the right music for these vintage, silent home movies can be difficult at times because of copyright. However KZfaq 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.

@DaveEldergillCineFilm 2 жыл бұрын

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.
