Greetings from Texas! Thank you for these wonderful films!

[@joconnor9256]

Just beautiful , and so very different from what I’m used to in the Australian bush

[@rprodgers1]

I think 8:56 is Wadebridge, there is a Francis Frith postcard of a similar view looking at the old bridge that crosses the Camel. As in the description 5:27- about 5:59 is Padstow, S Quay.

William Scantlebury and Kathleen Penter were my Great Grandparents both in Truro and Looe at the time of this film.

Thank You

[@MattRead13]

Great stuff!

[@Diamonddog2801]

Fantastic! A couple of additions... pretty sure the segment at 5.27 is Sennen Cove and the bridge at 8.56 is Looe?

And then came the outsiders !!!!!

Hiraeth.

[@alecgurney9305]

Cornwall needs to be an independent country

[@kernow9324]

Woddee on about, pard

[@peterperfect6015]

Why?

[@offshoretomorrow3346]

Or not.

[@jakej2256]

⁠@@peterperfect6015 Because it has a language and culture of its own, so therefore it does deserve to be independent

Not much 'diversity' to be seen . . .

[@ricksfilmrestoration5163]

Boring contemporary comment, made far too often by others too. How about commenting about Cornwall ??!

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

@@ricksfilmrestoration5163 The comment was intended as a compliment, although inherent virtue-signalling fails to recognise it. It's a beautiful part of England. I used to go there on holiday with parents back in the 1950s, on my own over the succeeding years as well. I lived in Plymouth for a year and explored the area extensively. Of course, like all from 'up country', I was referred to as "a grockle". Their 'welcome' is superficial . . .

[@Britonbear]

@@EllieMaes-Grandad You might get called a 'grockle' in parts of south west England but not in Cornwall; there you'd be an emmet.

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

@@Britonbear My colleagues at work (some living west of the Tamar) advised me of the term. Along with many others recruited with me that year, we were unappreciated in Plymouth too. However, walking home one evening, a young boy called me a "yardie" so I did feel some sense of accomplishment!
