My great grandad put it best. "Cars are the worst thing to have happened to society" not verbatim mind. His reasons are for not only the pollution its caused but the loss of the village community. Since everyone goes to town to work and not to harvest the crops in the fields. Now I don't exactly agree with harvesting crops in the fields. But he makes a good point on cars and their effect on the community. Since I mean look at those before and after photos, look at how the roads ruined the villages and how the streets are almost empty.

[@taffystravelvideos]

Thanks for your comment, apart from cars, online shopping has a lot to do with empty streets.

@@taffystravelvideos Yeah. They keep introverts inside.

I'm from California but my mother's side of the family is from Wisconsin. My mother's mother's side of the family is all from Cornwall. We have a lot of family history there near Launceston. That area used to be part of Devon as I have a prayer book my great-great-great-grandfather wrote inside in 1834 and he said he was from North Petherwin, Devon. I believe the border was changed around 1980 and the area became part of Cornwall again.

[@jimmyskyblue6057]

That’s interesting, I never knew that Launceston was originally in Devon, although it’s on the border. Have you ever been to Cornwall?

[@janicehildenbrand8017]

@@jimmyskyblue6057 No I've never been to Cornwall but my parents have back in 1980. I would love to go there someday.

Always a pleasure to see the lost Cornwall....thank you...also can you tell me the lovely haunting backtrack to your video??

[@taffystravelvideos]

Hi Roy, Thank you for your comment. As to the sound track , its called Parting Time , however its only available on my video editing programme.

[@Dave.w-ev9qn1962]

Thank you for sharing this collection of then and now photo’s Of great interest to me was the photo of the first and last inn at sennen village, as my grandparents kept the inn around that time. I’ve not seen that photo before. Great video 👍

[@taffystravelvideos]

Thank you for your comment Dave

[@Dave.w-ev9qn1962]

Correction to my last comment! It should read great grandparents kept the inn at this time. It’s not actually down in sennen cove, it’s at sennen church town on top of the hill. Seems to be some event taking place, all the children well dressed. I wonder if grandfather is among them🙂👍

Eine tolle Arbeit von dir - da ich viele Orte in den letzten Jahren besuchen konnte, waren die Bilden von damals besonders interessant. Grundsätzlich ist der Charakter geblieben - das finde ich sehr bemerkenswert. Auch ein Zeichen von Tradition, was ich sehr mag. Beste Grüße und alles Gute für dich, Konrad.

[@taffystravelvideos]

Thank you for your Comments Konrad . I also enjoy watching your videos. Hope all is well with you and yours. Best Wishes from Wales.

[@rabbastern]

I also hope that you and the family are doing well. Unfortunately, due to my wife's "insecurity" of health, I am unable to travel with her. I would love to go to my “favorite island” again and especially to Wales. We always really enjoyed it there. But hope remains and when it's possible again, we'll fill up the tank and head to GB. . . Greetings from Konrad.

[@taffystravelvideos]

@@rabbastern Hi Konrad , hope your wife's health problems are not serious, and you will be able to travel again soon. If you do come to Wales again, we will have to meet for a coffee. Best Wishes rom Bridgend.

[@gilliantregear1268]

Some miner misstakes, Penzance and Penryn are towns not villages, The Frist and Last House at Lands End was written up as The Frist and Last inn and The Frist and Last inn was written up as The Frist Hotel, do wish whoever did this did their home work and got their facts correcr😢😢

[@taffystravelvideos]

Thanks for pointing out those errors, by the way you misspelt miner misstakes😉

[@Kyleinasailing]

The early pictures are lovely, but they lack yellow lines and cars and those poor people could talk with one another in the middle of the road where, obviously ,the rights of poor horsemen with carts had not yet been taken into consideration.

Righton? I'm 65 years old now. At age 8 years I heard my first English accent: 1968. I went to Mylor Primary School. I got dropped off from the farm one morning and my mates were going mad. They said aliens had lande, killed Esketh Williams and taken over Esketh William's shop! "Hell !!!" Turned out Esketh had retired and people from Birmingham had bought it. Nice people, too. Now, in 2024 I can walk up through Mylor and be damn lucky if I hear a Cornish accent spoke. Seems like a lot more aliens, "Cuckoos", have migrated here, turfed a lot of the local "birds" outa their "nests" . Many stop for 6 months of the year, before flitting off for the remaining 6 months. More of them are roosting here permanently though. 🤔Global "warming" I spect. Bleddy things!🤐
