Seaside shows back in the day were awesome

When Great Britain was great! The last vestiges of our glorious past. Everyone is orderly and slim too, traffic is light to boot.

Those were the days 😊

That’s so amazing to have footage from back then!

I remember going to a Great Yarmouth in 1967 we stayed in a holiday camp it was western themed called The Ponderosa.

Wonderful, thanks!!

Looks amazing ❤❤❤❤

Is that Jack Buchanan?

My dad Ted Wadbrook painted the scenery and maintained that until he passed away in 1982.

Wonderful video especially showing the Winter Gardens in their heyday particularly as now they are to be restored

I love great Yarmouth and seeing the snail ride and peddle cars I loved the peddle cars they have gone now but happy times

Sou do futuro

THE GOOD OLD DAYS. LONG LONG GONE, NEVER EVER TO RETURN, A TIME WHEN OUR COUNTRY WAS GREAT.

people were happy then...life was better..the rich were not so Greedy

Really really enjoyed this wonderful film - it captures the magic and romance of this brilliant sea side resort . The excitement I felt as my dad drove the Golden mile in the early 70s is still with me ; and of course walking the sea front and Regent Road was the best .

Better days....

Those days are long gone - thanks to generations of inept and corrupt politicians

No fat bellies on show, no mobile phones, no chavs, e-scooters bombing around...

Lovely times to live in

shame how Yarmouth, its not so golden now

Nice arse on her.x

Great Yarmouth certainly attracts a lower class of citizen now so the people back then weren't so small minded, they were correct

I was born to late. I wish I lived in them days. The world is a rat race now adays.

I thought Benny was going to do Fred Scuttle when he grabbed the fellows cap around 4.00...

Everyone was so polite back then.

I like the opening thumbnail: She's striding ahead of Him, obviously they've rowed over something He's done, perhaps She caught Him 'eyeing' that trim little blonde thing...

How nice then how nasty now.

Great Video. Yarmouth still recognisable apart from the womenfolk. eight out of ten are now overweight monsters.

I love this kind of thing !

Had summer holiday in Gt. Yarmouth from mid 60s, to early 70s. Still have fond memories.

Happy memories

The East Anglian Film Archive has identified this film as being made in 1958. It was, apparently, the only year that Tommy Cooper performed a season in Great Yarmouth. The Benny Hill shot shows the date of his performance as Sunday 13th July which matches the 1958 calendar. Of course, it is possible that some of the shots in the film were taken in other years.

Great thank you

It look s fantastic back then. What happened

I believe this film was made in the early 60s judging by the cars. There is a Wolsely 1500 in one scene, and these were not produced until 1959, so the film could have ben made in 1959 at the earliest.

Lived in Yarmouth in '71. For a 14 yr old it was an absolute adventure and delight! I see lots of people on videos about Yarmouth complaining about how bad it is now. What did people expect? When working class people abandoned towns like this to get on a cheap flight to someplace warm and sunny, didn't you know you were killing your seaside towns?

Super!

Super, Great!

Bring back the helter skelter!

And no mention of the late, and often underrated, John Craven who's narration and journalism was many steps ahead of his rivals.
