This can’t be from 1975. The Shadow 2 wasn’t launched until 1977.

I live at Bempton nr Bridlington and a1/2 an hour's car drive to Scarborough, born 1947,most of the children in the village would go to Sunday School and every year we all had a day out at Scarborough and we were given 5 shillings spending money,and the best part was we went by steam train,at that age i thought i had travelled to the other side of the world, times were tough and we didn't go away on holidays but apart from Christmas this was the highlight of the year,LOL, Happy times.

Some Legends in this video

The country when we really were Great Britain and the United Kingdom.

And not a bunch of rude walking blankets, druggies or graffiti in sight 😊 But remember; Our Politicians have made our country wonderful with diversity and anything goes including drugs.

I was a kid in 70s and 80s in Scarborough. Was a beautiful town,wonderful. Town centre horrendous now, south cliff still lovely. Great history ❤ Fab film thank you 😊

Was supposedly conceived in Scarborough in 1945, go back for a week twice a year. Certainly not like it was in the 60s, but still a great place.

We first went to Scarborough on holiday in the early 1970's. I remember Corrigan's funfair at the end of the promenade and the Windmill amusement arcade at the other end, which had a model railway layout on the top floor. The arcade was in between 2 clifftop railways.

Thank Christ, not a dinghy in sight

Supreme elegance and grace

This is so lovely. I want this to be my country. Sadly born too late to remember these beautiful days.

Thank you for this: the Scarborough and country of my childhood. Beautiful!

When people had self respect and were proud to be English, not anymore , your not allowed to be proud

In the woke world of today you can't give these away. No one wants what they represent or stand for. Some will see you drive by and follow you home to rob you. If at a stop light/sign or fuel station may outright attack or damage the car. Currently i've been seeing hundreds of RR's for sale on YT. All thinking someone will still pay half a mill for a car requiring $70K for a typical servicing. I'd say just put it in a museum but even the museum's are trying to get rid of them. These days are gone.

Just looks like a lovely wee advert for your hols 💙❤️

Brilliant. I wonder whether they gave Chris Mitchemore a freebie for producing this ? I'm sure he'd have aspired to one but as a lowly BBC presenter it would have been a few notches above his class. I bet they did a deal with him though ! Great vid, cheers Chris.

Some things have gotten better and some things have gotten worse.Mostly I think they've gotten worse.

I remember as a kid going to Scarborough for a short holiday with my mum and dad. Went to see Max Jaffa and his orchestra. That was about 1971 I think. Only lives 70 miles away but in those days there was no such thing as a package holiday (at least for us) so Scarborough was like the other side of the world....despite only living 70 miles away. I do think though that we do tend to look at the past with rosy specs though. Yes we have lost a lot of the good things, but shed a lot of bad stuff as well. Who remembers as a kid ice on the inside of your bedroom window (when we had winters). No central heating and the only way you got hot water when mum or dad spent half an hour getting a coal fire started and then opening the heater plate at the back of the fire place to heat the hot water for a wash in the sink in a freezing cold bathroom. Of subject a little I suppose but yes I wish I could go back in time for one day.

Intrigued by the bonfire on the beach. Can't find any reference as to what is signifying.

Looks like England had a rubbish weather even in 60s. Nothing has changed.

a lost world indeed,we went here every summer in the 70s, brings back memories of holidays with my mum and dad ,really great times , went on the water chute and the wee train to scalby mills that are in the video. also jimmy corrigans funfair . miss these days

Kept wondering when I would pop up on screen as a kid back then 😂😂

The Penthouse nightclub in the mid 70's wey hey.

and now you can see what diversity has done to england made it a trash hole like were they come from.

Nice to see the old traditions, picnics, feeding the birds, the mock battle on the boating lake, burning a witch on the beach....

A country proud of itself

The Ridings those were the days

beautiful but also depressing

Its spooky, i remember a trip to flamingo land via Scarborough in the 60s,in my uncles hillman minx,same colour as the one featured at start 😊😊

Apart from the cars its pretty much the same now.

Vote reform uk and we will get this back ....

Thanks for posting. I'm from Bridlington. I'm curious what the gathering on the beach was?

I remember the battleships at peasholm park and the fish and chips.

As a child, during the entire sixties, I think we must have had a week or two at Scarborough in August/September, during the annual cricket festival at the North Marine Road ground. Sometimes, my father played there. At other times, we spent the days on the North Bay near Scalby Mills, having rented one of the "bungalows", now long gone. Happy days and thank you for the reminder!

Wonderful video. I still like Scarborough but nowhere is the same these days in our angry impatient society.

1:04 Ah the good old days, when, if the sun didn’t shine we lit a bonfire on the beach and tanned our backs against it 🤔😮🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧

Anyone who remembers this, is lucky,, we were blessed with the best of times, I'm 68 and this brings back so many happy memories,, the standards of today's society have taken a massive leap back since then,, ☹️,, I wouldn't want to be 10 years old now,, 😕

Peasholme Park & Yatchs 😊

That looks more like Filey to me. We visited there last year and Filey is still a lovely place and very clean. Which every council owns it, they should be very proud.

I spent years at Scarborough as a kid, and still keep visiting regularly. Great times. But what you really notice watching any video from that era is how clean and tidy places look. We seem to be living in a disrespectful shithole compared to back then, what the hell went wrong?? Oh wait, Governments! Such a shame when you think back to what this country was, and had.

Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be

Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be

Born in 1951 , this is Scarborough of my childhood , Filey and Primrose Valley my holidays . Late 60s and early 70s was my Mod days , Scene 1 a great club on Aberdeen Walk , happy days

Thanks for uploading. Great footage. Different world back then.

Went into slow decline, like most of England’s traditional seaside, due to the availability of the package holidays to Spain etc. Why risk a fortnight on the chilly, sometimes wet, seaside when you can have guaranteed sunshine? Nice memories though, especially the train, open air theatre, water splash and Peasholm Park.

Better times for sure.
