BBC Turn Back Time Penzance

[@ulysees321]

The town has changed so much since alot of this was filmed, and its not been for the better, its a shell of a town now 😞 Even Peasgoods has gone 😞

[@epicman746]

Lived here all my life, proper mental place! Wish we were taught more about our history in school and all

[@vishengro]

What a gem of a video..a glimpse into a very different era. Thank you for posting

[@janner2121]

My hometown , now sadly a druggies den.

Humphrey Richard Davy (Great , great something of Humphrey Davy) and I were peers at the PCGS circa 1946 -1951.)We met,very briefly whilst serving in the RAF in the Suez Canal Zone 1954. "Duffy" as he was known at school, was in transit for RAF Aden.We had lunch together in the camp mess at RAF Kasfareet, I took Humphrey to RAF Fayid to pick up his onward flight Aden. We said goodbye, shook hands and have never seen each other since. C'est la vie!

Delightful I recognise where I used to walk on holiday

[@maggied8468]

This was lovely. A lot has changed. Great to see how it was before my time.

[@russellmanuel670]

I guess I'm quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@roccodavis4775]

@Russell Manuel I watch on Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@SceneArtisan]

Oh how I miss PZ. :(

[@sukey31]

So nice that Simpsons is still going. I'm originally from St.Ives but I consider myself a Penzance girl. I love Penzance.

[@mezalong]

You still live in pz? Show me what to do. There's nothing to do.

[@davidjanson9900]

ello foxy totally agree ,penzance is a real honest working town ,not a tourist alone destination which st ives has now become

[@catsonfirelike]

Shame it's a dumping ground for smack heads now!

[@bettymcdermaid5552]

Bay Trading is my favourite shop

[@marktownsend9333]

Thank you for this most appreciated

[@EdwardPeter1]

I recently put a fairly lengthy commenting on my youth, schools etc my first love at 9/10 years till we moved (I can't forgive you, Dad) why did we ever leave, I can't find it now! Sorry to hear of some of it's decline!!

[@dolebandit9942]

Matey from Classic Britain's channel, Also Emmet's out !

[@UltraWhammy]

Great stuff

[@eugenemorice3353]

Peasgoods are sadly no longer there !

[@doublebassdave]

+Eugene Morice you sure? I've not been to Pz for a few years but can't see anything about it closing online and they are showing current opening hours

[@eugenemorice3353]

Defo.... The shop that featured in the video has the same exterior but is now a charity shop There is a 2nd shop under the Peasgoods name now on Alverton Street not far from the police station. That might account for the opening hours on the Internet

[@gilliantregear1268]

Ahh, I'm sure they've moved to opposite the first and last inn

[@quiquemariachi]

Why no one mention Brontë foot print in Penzance? It’s more important then shops🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gilliantregear1268]

Oh I thought market day was on Wednesday's

[@terrybrampton4362]

Penzance is a dump now, loved the town when I moved there in 1970 and its history, now thanks to the local council and bad planning, penzance is, t for me and my family
