I was born in Portsmouth and lived there until I was 42. It’s changed so much, I’ve got no desire to go back.

How to different to the Brighton of today, which is basically a sad woke dump 😢

It looks like such a clean place back then. Sadly the last time I went to Brighton the rubbish was piled high and we were tripping over homeless people lying all over the pavements. It was a sad Sight to see. The beautiful prom was shut off due to total disrepair and the poor arches.

Got to be grockles from the smoke. Proper Brightoniand wouldn't act like that

Where did all those retro red weighing scale machines go? I would love to have one now, six of us use to all stand on the scales at the same time then we put our penny in, then one by one we all stood of, we then deducted the last persons weight from the other to get each person's weight, so to weigh all six of us it only cost one penny instead of 6 pence. 😂 The hot summer of 76, I was down there then with my parents, I remember going into the wax works house near the pier towards the now Brighton centre. and the old penny arcade where we used flattened bottle tops for pennies. 😂 Shame the West Pier is not standing as that was the better pier in architecture. 😪

Terrible now. No deckchairs even.

Ah! The good old days before the invention of climate change. Back in the seventies you could walk from South Parade Pier to Ryde Pier at low tide, twice a day. Now the bloomin' sea has risen too much.

The two lads at the start, looked like they were playing "knifey". 😂😂😂

Thank you very much for this video 🙂👍

Thanks for sharing🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Many memories there for me. Thanks for sharing. Made even better with one of my favourite pieces of music: Orpheus in the Underworld - Offenbach.

No mobile phones no social meda so nobody could find you if wanted soms quite time. Beer cost a lot less than five quid a pint you could still get proper fish and chips . Great days..

The year I left school! I'm pretty sure it was free to visit the Victory back then.

What a gay day 🤣

When the Nugget was small and personable ❤❤❤

Thank you bought back memories lived in LAE 1963 to 1973 went to LAE primary in town. Lived at 6th Street off Huon Road. I really loved living in Lae❤❤

Definitely wouldn't trust anything fished outta there today

Pretty sure this is a convair cv-240 or similar as it wasnt till dc4 when Douglas had tricycle wheel and that was a four motor

These blacks ruin every city they inhabit.. shoulda never brought them over from Africa

I live north of Baltimore near the PA line, but my son lives in the city so I go there from time to time. This may be an unpopular thing to hear since so many people want to believe its blighted and dead, but I believe that the city is turning around. I see places that used to be in rough shape, looking noticeably better. People seem to be taking pride in their neighborhood. Crime is lower than it's been in quite some time. And for a change, their mayor seems to be an honest person. I think Baltimore is on the verge of seeing better times.

Love It

Sounds like Chet Atkins guitar music.

The Convairs were a nice series of birds. Twin engine but no tail dragging.

I was 7 in 1976, we used to visit Brighton as we did and still do live in Sussex. I remember seeing a skateboard for the first time in Brighton and getting one for Christmas that year. I also remember going on the west pier before it was closed, so great to see that in the film looking much better than today

Yep, I am a folkestone, cheriton lad, born 1950, nice video, memories, we would walk just about everywhere There is nothing wrong with my home town that is not wrong with the whole UK As boys we would fish from that which today is the harbour arm,, memories Back then people would be able to deal with life's many problems in a way that they cannot today, Folkestone, a special place, thanks for the memories

Last Chance Joe is now at the Sparks Museum.

Well that wasn't gay at all 😂😂😂

This is not the Cote d'azur, this is the Maid of Orleans.

Excellent. The Southsea promenade was relaid to mark HM Queens Silver Jubilee. Too bad the summer weather that year was poor for the local events.

My family shopped in JM Fields often when I was a kid in the 60s. I don't recall ever seeing it this busy; this must be Christmastime in the video. I suppose this is what Amazon would look like now if it was a brick and mortar store! 😆

The skateboard craze started in 76. I can remember kids made home made one's as nobody could afford a real one.

Eva Petulengro...didn't she appear with Jimmy Melia before the Albion made it to the FA Cup final in 83?

That was the year I started my degree at Portsmouth Poly. Hard to believe that it was 47 years ago.

I was living in the area and had just left school at 15.

That's a drag line excavator,no less!!!✌️💪💪💪👍

I stayed with my Parents at the Twelve Caesars in 1979 and then the Singapore from 1980-1981

Quite strange how this already looks dated like seeing footage from the 80s or something, Cheers to whoever filmed this footage.

Charming. No mobile phones, huge backpacks and adult sippy cups.

Amazing footage. I worked in Lae 1978-79.

If l could go back in time, l would talk to my parents. 🤔😏😢❤️🇫🇷

What a beautiful sight. Soooo many aviation enthusiasts would love to watch this amazing video of these classic 707, 747, DC8 etc. in action and that too at KAI TAK!!!

❤❤❤❤❤

Good video, I lived in Folkestone for a couple of months in 1995. What went wrong after the early 60's until around the mid 70's and stayed Wrong still until now! People has changed!

Amazing, I hadn't seen this before

Old home movies like this fascinate me because when they filmed this it was in the expectation that only a couple of people would ever see it and they could never of predicted that years later thousands of strangers would watch it!

hi @HomeMovieTimeWarp - can you help me? I'm trying to track down some of this footage to use in a documentary we're making. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
