Exploring neighbouring Ramsgate in 1969!

In this video of Ramsgate in 1969, we are presented with the same exciting, fun and picturesque town that we still see today. Our ‘stranger in Ramsgate’ not only explores the wonders that Thanet has to offer but mingles with the friendly locals who invite him to be one of their own. This welcoming, home-like atmosphere remains in Thanet, whether it be 1969 or 2021.
With tight restrictions as a result of the current pandemic, the perfect beach holiday lies at the forefront of all of our minds. We may not be able to relax by the sea in Marbella, but there is a sand filled sanctuary much closer than you may think. It is the ideal spot for a summer staycation when the current restrictions lift, why go abroad when you can enjoy a safe holiday by the sea in a beautiful, local town in England?

Definately the 1950s you can tell by the clothes and the style of the documentary.

In the 50,'s Ramsgate was a beautiful seaside town, this was before the 'big ideas' brigade arrived and set about destroying it. The amenities that were lost was staggering, sadly the same could be now said about the whole country !

Everyone was happier then. World War 2 long enough behind for people to feel confident for the future. Britain was prosperous and settled. Good times.

Gotta be a typo - 1959, if not earlier.

The first programme seems to be 1957 hence the date on the bill for the Band Show. The second programme could be 1969 borne out by the clothing.
