I’ve never seen the footage before but it was wonderful to see it. My youngest brother and baby sister in the pram. The chalet hasn’t changed much, a bathroom added and the veranda has gone or been enclosed.
Thanks Matthew you've brought back some wonderful memories. I stayed there many times with my mum and dad and 3 sisters, great fun . Many thanks for posting x
I lived in Jaywick in the early 1990s. Loved the community. True we were all broke but whoever needed a few pence for that 10p tin of baked beans would get it from a neighbour who had a few pence over until the next pay day.
I used to have a friend with a holiday home there in the sixties. Their main home was a big mansion in Essex so I suppose it must have been quite posh then.
Great times...look how carefree those teens looked.60s--70s great time to be young....we took it all for granted.

I live just a few miles from where this was filmed.....Great stuff.....good memories of that time.
My brother is the little boy, we lived in that bungalow. Rosemary Avenue
Amazing.....I wish I had that footage of how things once were!
I like the look of it. People were slim, fit, smiling. Families together. Happy to be British, happy with their lives. How refreshing.
Oh wow! It was beautiful
Wow everybody was smart dressed and white

Fascinating. The sea defenses are similar to so much else on that coast.
Benefits becoming a way of life has changed everything.
