My adopted town. I didn't live in town for long as moved to Botallack so I could have my goats, pigs and horse. I come from Mevagissey so it wasn't that far from home. I live near Helston now.

[@janetkeating7560]

That was great - lots of memories!

[@spamsnak]

An interesting watch! I think 1977 might have been the last time the railings on the prom were painted...

[@WELLBRAN]

was down there today...and you are right

[@Neilbl62]

Excellent. Was there in the summer of that year with my grandparents.

[@cidermonster4648]

I remember the fairs up at the Recreation Ground in Treneere. They were massive back in the day.

[@papas_lapas]

We used to holiday in Pz in the late 70s before we moved here' in November of 79 I was 9 and fell in love with and and absolutely loved growing up in and around Pz and I still do.

[@clnre]

Wonderful, I have very fond memories of Penzance in 1977.

[@allanyauhf]

I went there with my wife, my son, and my daughter-in-law for vacation in June this year. The apartment we stayed was very clean and tidy. We have had a very good time in Penzance. We love it very much .

[@maggiejilbertwatkins]

Just love seeing my home town, thank you

[@TheSwitchCleaner1978]

GREAT SUPER 8 FOOTAGE

[@keep_it_tidy56]

Wonderful. We’ve walked from Penzance to Mousehole along the front many times, then up to Paul & back past the church. The roads were much quieter, fewer foreign cars on the road too, and the place has such a lovely laid back feel to it. Can we have those days back please?

[@trebarvah]

Great memories, and lovely to see my grandma and mother in Mousehole towards the end of the video. Mum with friends on the 'slab' sunbathing, and gran going in to the post office in a hurry as usual!

[@vickypicks652]

[@jameswalker3073]

We can't hang out anywhere now in Penzance! begging for change shops closers at the rate of knots.penzanze as became a dosshole.council are at fault there very curupt

[@sirgeoffreydillon]

Really nice to see the green buses cool video

[@eugenemorice3353]

Cracking stuff ! I was 14 when all that was filmed and we lived in Adelaide Street ! I went away for 22 years and came back to live in 2003. Penzance will always be home but it looked a town much more at ease with itself in 1977. 1977 was in fact a a rubbish year as far as summer weather was concerned ( certainly compared to the scorcher of 1976,) but it still looked a hell of a lot warmer than this summer has been !!!! 1977.. when buses are run by Western National.... and they were very green !!!!

[@rail324nqch-par-8]

We've always gone to Penzance every year. In 1978 we stayed in a friend's holiday cottage down there.

[@MrVulch]

[@Pinlady0203]

Was camping with my parents and brothers near Mullion in August 1977. I remember waking up to hear that Elvis had died.

[@BillSikes.]

The pirates of Penzance All have ants in their pants.

[@nicholasm5465]

Could this have been 1976? The Scillonian II - seen at 08:20 - was replaced by Scillonian III in May 1977

[@robertmarsh3588]

Can't have been 1976, the HST (High Speed Train) at the start wasn't running regular passenger services till 1977.

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

Are you sure 1977 is the correct year, as I don’t think HSTs arrived until 1980.

[@elainekerslake6865]

Did the helicopter go the the Scilly isles ?

[@roumsiki]

Yes, two routes. PZ to St Mary's and PZ to Tresco. Service finished in 2012. At the time it was the world's oldest regular scheduled commercial helicopter service.

[@elainekerslake6865]

Arrgghh. Yellow lines.

[@LANCSKID]

Irritating mechanical noise during the film’s duration is very distracting …
