Oh wow! @21.05 is the 8th Banstead Sea Scouts ground. I recognise it from the round hut in the middle of the picture. My dad and uncle were both 8th Banstead scout masters in the early/mid 60's. Also have a photo of my dad in his sea scout uniform with my younger brother age about 18 months leaning against his knees. I remember Banstead too. 8th Banstead used to do their jumble sales in the village hall

It's amazing to see how much has changed - the walk from the station now is far more hazardous.....

Our beautiful country BEFORE the horror's of multiculturalism was forced upon us. 🇬🇧

It's a bit stabbier these days.

I like these archive films, of the era of my childhood, I can usually date the period by the Cars, which I am usually accurate, in naming and dating the newest / latest models.

Everything looked better then. Especially the people. People born before 1950 are so lucky!!!

Why the man stuck to a burning ambulance????

Anyone who is interested in Surrey's bygone age should have a look at this video from 1921. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_FlaCgf7B5gqssi=EQlQB5dDB91YXGTZ

nice film footage, interesting , but the music is absolutely unsuitable

Will thank you so much I’ve lived in Melbourne Australia for fifty years and this was really special to see My Dad worked for the Midland Bank and we lived in the flat above next to the Ibis bookshop which Geoffrey Gough owned I remember a lady called Emily working there and wonder if thst is the grandma referred to in an earlier comment They were good times

My grandmother worked for some years at the ibis bookshop. Both my parents lived at one time or another in Court rd and my great uncle had a house called Sixways just opposite the cricket ground. Lovely little film thank you.

Loved watching this little gem of a film so interesting and so evocative if a time gone by. We had fun trying to work out where they were in the village. Lovely shots of the village and the countryside.

What a beautiful film! I am member of Banstead Art Group and it so lovey to see the group painting in the 1950s.

I rather enjoyed this film. I was just 13 years old when it was made, and it brought back a lot of happy childhood memories for me. I remember one of the participants very well - Ivan Brown, at the time Deputy Clerk to Banstead Urban District Council, who later became Clerk when Mr FL Shaw retired. Thanks for publishing the notes, which were very interesting.

Banstead as I remember it good to see it again.

My brother Chis Palmer sadly passed away on 2nd September 2021. If there’s anybody watching who misses the sound of Chris’s voice, you can skip straight to his speech at 42:02.

Nice one William

Hello Will, sorry didn't catch up before you left. Seems like you're having fun.
