  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2009
  • One of British Transport Films' relatively early travelogues, 'East Anglian Holiday' was shot in Technicolor. Its narration combines clipped patrician received pronunciation with occasional interludes delivered in a strong local accent.
    In King's Lynn, the region's unique geology is commemorated in the architecture of the Guildhall, whose flints were originally sponges growing underwater. In Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, families enjoy a seaside holiday, rollerskating, riding boats and pedal cars, or watching Punch and Judy shows. Nearby, the local fishing industry is hard at work sorting the latest catches. Suffolk's coastline combines marshes with sandy beaches., and its distinguishing marks are Blythburgh Church, the Southwold lighthouse, and Henry II's Orford Castle.
    For more information about 'East Anglian Holiday' see www.screenonlin...
    The complete film is available to buy on the DVD compilation British Transport Films Volume 2: See Britain by Train - filmstore.bfi.o...
    All titles on the BFI Films channel are preserved in the vast collections of the BFI National Archive. To find out more about the Archive visit www.bfi.org.uk/...

    Wonderful scenes and especially the quality of the film itself. How tired these holiday places, like Yarmouth, look now. No one has much pride in their towns these days while all the streets are jammed full of traffic.

    I love these kinds of films, the history of England's regions, the accents, the dialects. We never were "one" country so to speak. We have always been diverse, and on a day to day basis regional identity has often been stronger than national identity. Why, we even used to have a whole bunch of kings ruling different regions. Great Britain - what a nation, what history, what people!

      I lived in Lowestoft back in the1950/early 60s and can honestly say that is a totally unconvincing East Anglian accent. Excellent film quality though.

    We don’t all speak like they do in Somerset, perhaps the raconteur didn’t do enough listening to how people in Norfolk really speak! He’s not the first, and won’t be the last, we don’t all speak like Cornish pirates, or Tom Forrest in “the Archers”!

    @marktravelling what are you talking about; the guy in the filum was probably some londoner from travel agency or w.e. they were called in them days; im from norfolk and i know; if anyone wants to hear what a REAL norfolk accent sounds like then you should listen to the guy in my broad norfolk dialect video.

    It is a social nightmare that Yarmouth and Lowestoft are now being filled with 'Africa's overspill' populations and 'self-exported dross' from other third world countries that have invaded to swill from the UK taxpayer-funded welfare trough. The social homogeneity of East Anglia is being deliberately destroyed by the race-industry's imposition of 'enforced multiculturalism at any costs' , and the crime rate reflects that undesirable change.

    • @thebannedgreenman8939

      Harry Warne Mohammed Warne your purple-faced liberal outrage marks you as the "twat". It is obvious that 'the stone underneath which you dwell', is nowhere near the turd-world 'welfare tourist' colonies of Yarmouth or Lowestoft .

    • @thebannedgreenman8939
      @thebannedgreenman8939 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Harry Warne The point that you are too liberal to consider (or too dense to realise?) is Yarmouth and Lowestoft are now being filled with 'Africa's overspill' populations and 'self-exported dross' from other third world countries that have invaded to take up a 'LICENCE TO SWILL' an unearned drawdown of social benefits from the UK taxpayer-funded welfare trough. The social homogeneity of East Anglia is being deliberately destroyed by the race-industry's imposition of 'enforced multiculturalism at any costs' , and the crime rate reflects that undesirable change.

      Bruv, this country is built on migrants. Time and time again studies and statistics show immigrants are a net gain for the UK. The fresh influx of younger labour helps prop up our aging population and the social services we all rely on. The NHS would not be able to run without the large amount of migrant labour it needs. There is no proof that there is an en masse influx of immigrants putting extra strain on social services. The vast majority of migrants work hard and pay taxes, thus contributing to the overall prosperity of the country. You're just repeating stock phrases but it doesn't reflect any reality. And pretty racist stock phrases at that. You are the descendent of immigrants who arrived in the UK centuries ago, if not sooner. Populations move around all the time. Stop getting your knickers in a twist because you saw someone with different colour skin to you. Come join the 21st century. Or, get out of my town if you don't like it. Go start a commune with a bunch of other racist conspiracy theorists.

    @12Aggiefan Sorry to spoil the party, but we were a tired country in serious decline and it got much much worse. Loss of empire, War recovery, then we had the economically calamitous 60s and 70s to look forward to.
    It wasnt until maybe 30 years later that we really began to turn things around.

    It's a shame that the 'Norfolk' guy's accent sounds like a non-East Anglian reading from a script. It's specifically Norfolk that he's trying to do (rather than Suffolk), but it's still a pretty poor attempt.

    What exactly are" indiginous Englanders"? Immigration has always been a part of what has made this country great and I think you'll find that many English people have grandparents or great-grandparents who were immigrants.
    And as for saying that they're in a minority, what rot. Evidence to back up your ludicrous claim please?
