Felixstowe through the ages

Felixstowe was once one of the great victorian seaside resorts. People would flock to its beaches from all parts of England. As well as donkey rides and 'punch and judy' shows, they would enjoy a shopping experience in Hamilton Road and stroll in its parks.
Although today its popularity has waned, it still is worth a visit if you are in the area.
The above photos compare victorian/edwardian Felixstowe with the Felixstowe of today.

Great video, like the way you merge the old and new views together, also like the music.

Hello Chris
I'm preparing a You Tube playlist as a background video/audio stream for River of Life Church Community Cafe, Felixstowe.
www.RiverOfLifeChurch.net
Just wondering if you would kindly grant permission for us to use your Felixstowe Through the Ages in the programme?
Many thanks, Brian

[@ChrisChandler333]

Brian Oakley yes that’s fine, no problem.

[@OakleyBrian]

Thanks so much Chris, very much appreciated. Please claim a free coffee on me next time you happen to be passing River of Life Church. It may be a while before the playlist is complete but it's good to know that "Felixstowe Through the Ages" will be included
