I had the pleasure of spending a few days aboard a 1933 broads cruiser just last week, and previously sailed a number of the Hunter's Yard cabin yachts, really takes you back to this era of Broads pleasure boating.

A very nice film of the Broads in the lovely county of Norfolk.
Thank you for posting.

Please please please take me back to this era

[@mozdickson]

emerging from the very bleak shadows of war and austerity, and before the spectre of nuclear destruction loomed large, people taking such great joy in simply being alive and together and free. Thanks for uploading this.

Love the broads and miss having a boat to sail ⛵️ on the broads.
Been all over the broads it's beautiful.

I was all ready for Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves or John Noakes to do the commentary.

A view of the world, before it had lost its virginity....

So why is swimming in the Broads now being promoted as "Dangerous"???

[@charlieminaj2]

DAKS because they don’t want you to enjoy yourself, and because Heath and safety has gone communist🤷🏼‍♂️

[@daveansell2418]

Has it been ruined? Its busier now certainly.

@@theenglishgardener5626 what a a stupid comment. As its 15 years since that government, presumably the Tories have put everything right by now.

@@theenglishgardener5626- After 14 years of Tory misrule you think Labour were worse? Deluded.
