Nothing was perfect in those days but you can see what we've lost.

Born in 1950 England, and although I was brought up surrounded by the mills of Lancashire, I always appreciated days out in the nearby countryside, as a family we did not have much back then and rationing was still in force just after WW2, but there was plenty of love, respect and manners, something that we seem to lack these days. These films help to bring back those lovely days for a while, thank you.

Reminds me of the country that used to be when I was growing up and we'd make day trips to Stratford and Oxford.

I'm only 30 but I wish I could time travel back to these times

What our politicians have done to our beautiful country is criminal. Britain was SO beautiful and peaceful.

From Poland with admiration !

Ah the nostalgia for Britain of the 20th Century

I want to have a time machine and travel back and go there for vacation... Sooo nice and beautiful.

I was almost in tears watching this , I was born in 1952 and consider myself so fortunate to grow up in these times, they were such innocent times  never to be seen  again, now look at us, it is criminal what our country has become. In the words of Harold Macmillan we never had it so good.

I went to Cockington 20 years ago an absolutely beautiful village preserved
for generations. A Smithy, school, Village hall and magnificent manor house
with a cricket pitch.

How beautifull was the world when it had "only" 3 billion people.

wow, just visited Cockington the other week, live right round the corner. nothing has changed from this video

I LOVE how empty everywhere is (relatively speaking of course)!

I am nostalgic for a time i wasn't alive for.

I live in the rural West Country there are many such villages, still gateways to the past, untouched by modernity and 'enrichment'. We need to gatekeep and preserve these capsules of our heritage or they will be lost forever.

I love the colours of the old film

1:40 some info about the boat... it was originally named The Brighton. The Brighton, was ordered by the Southern Railway in 1947. She was delivered to British Railways in April 1950 by Wm.Denny at Dumbarton on the Clyde. Her continuous contract speed was 24 knots, which she failed to meet over a 6 hour test on her trials, although easily managed more than this in service once run in, and was credited with being the fastest BR ship on the South Coast. Brighton carried 1450 passengers in two classes. Brighton ran on the Newhaven-Dieppe service until the of 1965, when she was used for summer extras only following the opening of a ro-ro berth at Newhaven. Brighton was withdrawn the following year, the last traditional ferry on the Newhaven route, as larger new car ferries entered service. She had served a remarkably incident-free 16 years on her designed route, with only rare appearances on other routes such as Folkestone-Boulogne. Surprisingly Brighton was sold for further UK operations in 1966, when Jersey Lines bought her for use as La Duchess de Bretagne. She received a stern ramp to load just 20 cars, initially running on excursions to the Channel Islands and St Malo from the resorts of Weymouth and Torquay. In 1968 La Duchess de Bretagne ran a very complex series of routes from Southampton, Plymouth, Torquay and St Malo. Jersey Lines failed in 1969, and La Duchess de Bretagne was sold for scrapping in Bruges later that year.

Bourton on the Water where there is “no bustle, no hurry”. Try going there on a weekend now. It’s like a Rugby scrum.

Never been seen like this again what a shame

Fawlty Towers was in Torquay.
