Luxury! I used to dream of living in a two up two down, no electric, outside toilet, no bathroom. You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!

I’m a 63 year old Montrealer and my grandparents on both sides came from the North of England ( Manchester/Sheffield/Prestwich ) around 1910. Growing up in the 60s and70s my gran lived with us and it was Roast beef and Yorkshire on Sunday. Left overs ground up for a Shepard’s pie on Monday. Bangers and mash home made fish and chips and Chelsea buns and Eccles cake. Cheers from Montreal
Brings back memories from the early 1990's going to my Grandparents Caravan with the beach not far. There was a pub on the caravan site where all the old timers would puff on their pipes, drink pints and listen to classics on the jukebox. Also there was an arcade next door where all the kids would play games and play pool. I miss those days and I miss you, Grandad.
They just want the money, they don't want you... Mind you I don't blame them, now all the people are all me me me look at me my mine I'm a heterohomobisexualbinary
Yes. I know of houses that cost £3,000 then and are now fetching £900,000 to £1 million. That's on thr outskirts of a southern coastal town. And I know of a couple of houses, one in Acton, London W12, the other in Hammersmith, W.6 London. that sold for £17,000 each in the late 1970s and are now worth £1.5m to £2.5m.
Why should second homes be banned? Foreign burdens should be banned British passport or not. We would have empty cities and rents would go right down… they couldn’t be having that now.
@@patriciapalmer4873 Agree 100 percent . My Dad would always look smart even going shopping , shirt and tie , polished shoes...oh how times change sadly - now baggy arse tracksuit bottoms , hooded top, retarded head hidden and staring at a phone slouching along .
@@alansmith4729I have an old film from 1969, my mum has her hair done, full make up and summer dress with a poofy skirt and heels, she’s spooning out potato salad. Mind you I think she did it for the film. She normally wore slacks, a jumper and went make up free.
They make it look so glamorous! Perhaps things changed by the time I was on the planet, but as a nipper in the 70's, the caravan parks my parents took me too were a far cry from this rose tinted wonderment. Wales in the rain, parked up in a caravan park backing onto a quarry, black and white telly with a single channel available, in Welsh. When it rains, the only thing for kids to do is play card games, whine and get a clip around the ear. For the adults, drink more booze. I reckon for most people, it sucked balls.
Definitely rose tinted in this footage. I grew up in the 70's and often stayed at various holiday parks including Butlins/Pontins around the country. We had fun but the places were either often damp when it rained or boiling when it was hot. Everything stunk of cigs and tinged nicotine yellow. Food was dire. It was affordable though to most. Distinct lack of brown people so I think that's the major nostalgia selling point for people.
These fine people are currently paving my driveway! They gave me a great deal. I paid them. They've begun tearing up the old one, and they said they'll be back to finish the job next week.
Ah, can I see Victorian streetlamps in the subtext of your dig? How wonderful to see everything in a foreign, ideological context, rather than just enjoy a piece of history for what it is. I was there in the 70's. From your spelling and grammar, I don't suppose you have a clue what it was like, nor what you're talking about.
👍👌👏 Thanks a lot for saving, uploading and sharing these old documentaries. They're quite treasures. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
The narrator is Wilfrid Thomas. Well known in Australia as a singer, actor, radio broadcaster and narrator. Wilfrid was of Welsh descent who immigrated to Australia as a child. He narrated several Australian government films and can be seen in a film from the NFSA collection acting along side Peter Finch in These Stars Are Mine His "posh" accent would have certainly been a consideration when he got the gig of narrating the official film of the Queen's 1954 visit to Australia. Queen In Australia also at the NFSA. And just from the other day on the NFSA channel "Canberra Today And Tomorrow" which had me searching for who it was. Searching for Wilfrid Thomas will show some of his recordings. It would be interesting to know how many other Pathe newsreels he narrated and did he travel to the UK for the narration or just send a tape recorded in Australia?
1:49 Love that hair (no sarcasm, I really do) 😉❤️ ...and the background music from these type of videos from this era is always great! (Not old, just love this time period)
Wow!...how nostalgic and what great memories. Yes todays caravans have come a long way, but my first memories of staying in one was that in the last clip of this video (being rolled onto the ship) . My mother used to take me to Pipers site in Dymchurch and the caravans then were the round roof type, and small in length. It no mains running water, or toilet in, you filled a large plastic water carrier that stood under the caravan which you put the pipe into, which was attached to the pump action sink tap. There were toilet/wash blocks over the camp. I remember the old double bikes that 3/4 of us could sit-on the long seat bench ...but only one of us could steer it! I also remember that the caravans had wall fitted gas lamps that you lit for evening light and a gas bottled gas fire. In later years we changed camps for what was then known has New Beach Holiday camp which had the more modern all mains supplied service cavavans (they also had the cedar type chalets...although they cost more to rent, they had nothing on a 6 berth caravan!) and the family continued our summer holidays there for many years up until the late 80's. In later years the father who had owned and run it very successfully for decades, handed the business over to his son , and in later years he sold it to a multi-national holiday company. (think Hoseasons??) But yes many, many happy years of a happy childhood holidaying in caravans at New Beach Dymchurch .
This is probably an extract from a type of film shown in cinemas as an adjunct to the main features. As ever, it's a very stylised version of what caravan parks were actually like back then - and probably today, too.Try living in a caravan in a cramped space in the depths of Winter !
My mother's old coffee table at 02:20, except hers didn't have the lower shelf. If it had it would have been a lot more stable. The legs wobbled all over the place!
Such great memories from my childhood our family including our grandparents owned caravans on the Isle of Sheppey aka Boozers Paradise😂 our actual caravan park was called Gay Companians 😂 can you imagine that today! Back then Gay meant happy 😅
3:00 Those walls look dainty enough; the studs look smaller than 2 X 3s (50 X 75), but not square like 2 X 2s. I know 2 x 2s were allowed in the USA during the 1960s, but those trailers would blow apart in a strong hurricane, so the FHA established a 2 X 3 minimum to get a federally insured mortgage in 1976. Now, states like Florida require extra bracing, tie-downs and heavier external sheathing in storm-prone areas and even using 2 X 3s, and these buildings can survive 145 MPH winds. The glue that they use to put these things together also helps a lot. I'll bet the caravans they make now for the UK and Australia are also built to higher standards these days.
It's one item from a film made up of several. The narrator is reading the link to the next one when it ends. No doubt it will be elsewhere on the channel. It sounds like it is a feature on a faster mode of transport.
Wow those are some nice gardens I forget the British practically invented gardens bet you can't find a trailer park anywhere in the world with this much space

This is a proper community caravan holiday village, back then it was service over profit, now all holiday villages are seemingly profit over service.
