- A Historic look back at Weymouth and Portland Navy Base in 1959.
Note the loading of Cars onto the Ferry. Not a Health & Safety Officer in sight.
'Navy Days' were 'Open Days' for the public to look around the Ships and Meet the Crews.
I was 10 at the time of this film and loved navy days. I lived at Tophill for many years and have wonderful memories of a gentler time.
Fabulous to see Weymouth of my childhood memories. I would have seen that Punch and Judy show and ridden on the donkeys.
Visited the town recently and was delighted to see it's not changed too much.
Thank you for sharing this film.
Superb archive footage. Liked.
I lived in Weymouth. I was 12 in 1959. I and spent summers on the beach next to the swings and roundabout in this video and got ice-cream from the same beach kiosk. I might have been one of the children on the beach. Wow, what a great film. Thanks.
Great to see this, i was born on Portland one year after this!
I was two years old born in Weymouth this bring back fond memories 🙏😍
6:47 The expectation as the stall owner seemingly conjured up out of thin air the magic that was Candy floss by dint of nothing more glamorous than a pea stick.
It was just about illegal for him to sell it to little chaps if it weren't a good one and a half times the size of your head.
The St Julian and the St Patrick. I remember them well.
Ahem! Portland Navy Days was an annual event at Portland Naval base, not Weymouth and Portland!
First Pub I ever drunk in........was the Jolly Sailor in Portland,about October 1970; I was in the Royal Navy at the time,and 17 years old,serving on a Tribal Class Frigate......HMS Zulu.I was in Portland very recently,sad to see that the Jolly Sailor is now closed,and semi-derelict.........sign of the times I'm afraid!
Ah, the memories!
Excellent. Who filmed it?
