L/S of a great number of Caravans lined up on a camping site. Camera pans to show a crowded swimming pool. M/S of the people around and in the pool having fun. L/S of the outside of a supermarket, people around.
M/S of a woman taking a product from the supermarket shelf. Several shots of people socialising around the camp, enjoying the caravan site holiday. "...here's one way to spend a holiday with all the comforts of home".
Voiceover talks about the advantages of the caravan life highlighting the freedom of choice. Once it stops rolling, it becomes the same as any other home. Various shots of caravans transformed into permanent homes with neat gardens around them. M/S of several people gardening. Beautiful C/U shots of flowers in bloom.
Several M/S of the two women cooking. Cut to a high angle shot of dinner table where two couples are having dinner. M/S of an elderly couple sitting in their caravan lounge, talking. High angle M/S of a woman bathing a child in a bath.
Succession of shots demonstrating how caravan cars are made - from designs on paper to the completed shiny caravans being loaded into a ship - ready for export. Caravan homes have become a successful export industry - claims the voiceover.
Note: Several rather contemporary looking caravan designs - Wall-Paper* material.

I want my Country back . Enoch Powell did tip us off in 1968 ☹️
God I wish the Country still looked like this 😞
Immigrants have ruined us.
Mum making proper gravy, wonderful Sunday roast and a bottle of mateus on the counter in the kitchen...💛
Amazing how clean everything looked back then 😌
NO FILTHYBROWNdiahhreaflowing in that is WHY.NICE WHITE and BRIGHT and RIGHT. THAT IS WHY. NO murders, no rapes ,no ILLEGALSnoforeignersfrom****holecountriescrawling in for freebies and ruining our countries people and beauty and the American aesthetic THAT is why. People then had PRIDE OF WORK PRIDE OF PLACE.
Ah, back when people could actually afford having a family and a house.
*Yes, although incomes were much smaller and land was much cheaper, because England had not been given away to all and sundry.*
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.

Great times, 1965 was the year I was born, loved our caravan holidays, we now have a tourer, and love it
The West had something special that the world had never known - what a shame it is lost!!!
I LOVE it when I find a really old video in supreme quality like this!
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.
No, that was just your holidays 🌞🏖️🗽
Life was just so simple we never ask for to much and we didn’t need to much to make us happy and create wonderful memory’s
We've made so much progress in 60 years that now people can live in their camper vans year round!
Need more videos like this! 👌🏻
“If you can accept your limits, you can forget them!” Caravan proverbs. 😊
So nostalgic. Reminds me of summer time down the beach in my grandparents caravan during the 80s and 90s. Great times.
Lovely England 🏴 happy days 👍
Poverty stricken happy days
Even better now. Indian and Chinese food plus a kebab.
@@milzijex7340you people all claim to be poverty-stricken now
In 65, we were a family of six, living in a two up two down, no electric, outside toilet, no bathroom, But this was a million miles from our life. Still we were happy.
Hello real person. If you didn't feel it, your parents did a good job.
You were happy cause you were young
Beautiful gardens!
Oh, yes. So gorgeous!!😮
Fascinating window into the past, I kept expecting to see Sid James and Barbara Windsor appear at any moment!
😂
It reminded me of Carry On Camping, too!
Nostalgia at its best...has to be better times.
Always dressed well unlike today to casual 😢
@@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 .
Those were the good old days!
@@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.
Who Raised those kids that don't know how to dress or interact with other humans eh@@alansmith4729
Looks lovely and peaceful.
People who knew the importance of family. People who spent time in physical activities
Love the design inside ...not like the "clinical grey airport lounge look today" ....typical of the spirit of this age ...grey stark & lifeless.
This is a proper community caravan holiday village, back then it was service over profit, now all holiday villages are seemingly profit over service.
Diminished service is the new standard.
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
Love to see the old Caravans. Good memories
Granny doing the gardening in her Sunday best.
Amazing times I was 5 back then ! Was another world we lived in
Oh what a Wonderful Life….
👍👌👏 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.
Please bring me back to those days❤❤❤❤
Well dressed, slim, not covered in tattoos, not glued to their phones, where did it all go wrong!
Mass immigration of unskilled trash from around the world, legalisation and propaganda of homosexuality and an out of control liberal brainwashing media with crackpot teachers in universities.
with your ye ye ass comment
First world education, life saving technology, the World Wide Web, globalisation. Where did it all go right?
So you want when people conformed more to norms that people pretended to adhere to but hid their ugliness.
I totally agree... it wasn't perfect, but pretty close to it
The days when caravans were called luxury homes instead of being holidays for poor people.
*_Poor people could not afford holidays, unless they were what was known as "working holidays"._*
Not many genuinely poor people can afford a caravan holiday even now
No mobile phones, and no brand labels. Fantastic. And check out the car park, not a single SUV in sight! Excellent
Good old days miss them ,now memories
I love there’s films
I've had 3 Caravans in the Sixties and enjoyed every minute, Happy Memories.
Simpler times!
Everything looks easy and simple. 😊- clean too.
Brilliant
Takes me back
I remember the first time I stayed in a caravan with an indoor toilet..... Maaan it was so posh!!
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?
Interesting comment. Thanks.
Luxury home from £700. Bargain!
Yup, compare to 2022 caravan, it's pretty cheap
Well house back then you can buy as low as £1000
@@SayedRezha true, but at least the materials in our homes today won’t kill you lol
@@bentleyv1233 Yeah but a lot of houses still have asbestos and faulty wiring anyway.
@@MM-fc9fz idk where you live but you can’t legally have asbestos in your house in the US.
700€ back then we're probably 10000€ now
If only we had time travel 😊
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 😅
Still does!
Carry on camping 🏕
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)
The vintage trailer park. Nothing like a caravan holiday
I grew up in one of these
God i miss those days😭 existing now in a type of Hellish realm!
If the vans a rocking dont come knocking.
A gentler age...
good job
Yes, here in the states we use to say " motor homes". And the communities are trailer parks now a days.
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 .
And Dymchurch has the best beach in Kent, but don’t tell everyone ! 😜🇬🇧
Now days those types of caravans are worth more than a house.
Love this, I was born in 1965 and can remember how it was , definitely better times 😊
In winter, wake up to ice on the inside of your windows and perhaps experience a short flight as the storms batter your plywood and aluminium box.
Wonderful
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!
And not a Tatted up Bird in Sight. Thoes were the days 😊
Better world back then,
Yeah. No it wasn't. Not if you were anything other than a rich white guy.
45% by 2066. Cheers Heath, cheers Blair, cheers Cameron.
Look at all the British folk all happy…. Because there’s no must limbs there!
😂
Pure times of the whole world 🌍🌍
My great uncle died in a caravan fire in the late 60s, never knew him though
The first thing I noticed was that every single person looked fit and healthy, and there is no obesity
I noticed the same exact thing too. 😊
No GMO. MSG
Yes exactly right 👍
Apart from the bloke on 20 a day.
It's mainly down to diet. The crap my young colleagues eat is staggering. I make all my own food from real ingredients but all they guzzle is coca cola, McDonald's burgers, friend chicken, microwave meals, crisps and all the other junk that comes wrapped in plastic. They genuinely believe that's food and I'm a crank because I only eat food I've prepared myself.
Rare footage of the early ancestors of the trailer park boys.
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
An almost normal size bathtub.
Fiberglass, ahhh, good old fiberglass...
I wish were as free and uncrowded as we were then
“A gypsy hint of adventure” 🤣
You'd get locked up for that nowadays
Before the INVASION...
nice
Watching this and you realise why the 'great' was in Great Britain. Certainly not the same country anymore.😮
Это была жизнь.
Я представляю как там было душно и жарко летом.
2:20 - dude has an old iPhone on the table 😆
A very interesting mini documentary. It cut off very suddenly. Is there a full length version to see?
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.
It's a short newsreel feature film shown, along with the ad films, in cinemas during the intermission between the main feature films.
Ah yes, the good old times before hoard migration.
When the government still acted for the most part for the good of the nation.
We should call it a caravan.
"but .... but we invented the tiny home"
Hipsters on social media 😂😂😂
I had one in my 60s
When they were actually affordable on the American dollar, I can’t find a dumpy home for under 180 K
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.
We don't get many hurricanes in the UK!
Apparently diversity is our strength.
Enoch Powell did warn us!
Haven’t we come a long way 😢
It was we who wanted a caravan, Turkish.
Before we handed our health over to the food producers…
That's a nice iPhone 3gs he has there on the table 2:20 ☎
All the women doing the work and blokes sat down playing the 'great I am'. Not too staged.
good lord , my idea of pure hell.
The gnome!
Back then was heaven , now we are living in hell
We?
Literally, like videos like this are my comfort videos where I go to escape it all
@KurdtC-nn3ov Lie about the "solution". Then, when the alleged solution fails, lie about the consequences from your ivory towers.
Yep!
Very well said
They look so flimsy 😂
Wow
Time travelers at 2:20 with their smartphone on the coffee table!!
(Joking - I know its an serving tray or something)
Why dont we make a community like that?
Easier life no stress nobody getting shot stabbed not like today whatever happened ☹️
Diversity. It's enriched us apparently.
Gravy is too thin @ 1:52 needs a bit of cornflour to thicken it up a bit
£700......i'll have one.
