"C'mon booay, git a move on!" up Jacob's Ladder. Plenty of trips on the St Gerrans and the New Roseland over to St Mawes in my childhood. Happy days. Falmouth hosted the Tall Ships races around that year too if I recall.
@@TedCornish - Spent most of my childhood on those pleasure boats, the Flushing ferry, and St. Mawes ferry. My father and uncles were skippers. Took many an emit for trips up the Fal or Helford for cream teas or fishing for mackerel. Best childhood days, ever.
Mylor boy. I was six in '66. Went to Falmouth Grammar School until that damned Thatcher did to our Grammar schools what she afterwards did to our mines. Kernow was Kernow back then. Not like the over- Anglicized place it has since become.
I went to Falmouth Grammar School but it closed after I had been there only two years. What you say is not true; it was Shirley Williams of Labour who closed the grammars. The Tories opposed it.

Lovely video I remember running up and down Jacobs Ladder going to and from School. Happy times and Happy memories..
Thank you ! I probably went to school with some of the Clare Terrace girls running down Jacobs Ladder !
Awesome to see, thank you for posting!!
Awesome and the steep steps are called Jacobs ladder and I bet the boat skipper was Alistair Johns 👍👍
Could also possibly have been, either the Martin brothers or the Pill brothers.
@@cornishmaid9138 yes that’s true or could have been captain kenny 👍👍
