[@julierutter9390]

Where I was born and went to grammar school. Lovely to watch this video. It brought back a lot of good memories.

I visited Penzance from the States in 1984 and was enchanted by it. I'm sad to see this. It was very different then.

[@MaggieTD]

I'm sad to say it's changed even more. With so many of our familiar shops gone due to the economy. It's nice to see Penzance from 2000 but it's also making me realise that time has gone so fast.

A great place to grow up in the fifties, lived at 33 Adelaide street. I now live in Australia. I often wonder if any of my old school mates are still kicking.

[@TheZak1963]

Thank you. I am building a model of Penzance and this has been very useful

[@nicholaswiltshire6356]

Penzance was my dear late Dad's favourite town in Cornwall. We visited every year from Bath from the early 60's until the late 90's. Iove Kernow.

I had recently moved from (near) Penzance to (just outside) Helston when this was filmed. All I can we js... you missed the smuggler hiding in the Benbow's roof!

[@jancronin1078]

I absolutely love everything about Cornwall, but please penzance put loads of colour into your town. Everything looks really drab and grey, even the clothes people are wearing look dark & sombre. Cornwall and the cornish people are bright happy colourful. Love you to bits.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who’s noticed that sometimes about Penzance maybe that’s why some people think it’s really rough.

[@kernow62]

Bleddy 'ell what a bunch of moaning minnies on 'ere. RIP Jack and thanks for this. Penzance is still a great town. You can go into town know and it is rammed with people. The high street while it has had some decline is still fairing far better than the UK as a whole.

[@user-qo3bm2oj6z]

[@MrBlaugeist]

2000 was start of a end to Penzance, see so many shops no longer there. Really sad to what has become of our home town. What sad is with current council penzance never return to her former glory. stop the landscaping, closing down parks, only wonder what will become of our hometown in the future as not threaten to try close jubilee pool again.

Just wondering your age, and when you left school. Did you go to lescudjack high?

[@jamescutter8760]

i was about 2 years old. omg time has flown by

[@Teapot-Dave]

I was living in St Clare Street (before moving to Newlyn) when this was filmed, but I'm not in any of the footage. It was around this time when the army got a Land Rover stuck in the harbour-sand for some reason. The locals all told them not to drive down there but they were ignored, and then stood around in amusement and bemusement and watched the army race the incoming tide to get the thing out again - which they only just achieved - but it was tight!

[@clover182Harry]

Very different to how it is now for sure! Fountain court (the massive building seen at 1:21) is apparently scheduled to be demolished soon

[@kernow9324]

I heard that too, but what's going to replace it?

[@clover182Harry]

@@kernow9324 Honestly not too sure. Will look very weird without it though

[@kernow9324]

@@clover182Harry Your website is great! My brother would have loved it. He was one of the first punk rockers in Redruth. We played The Sex Pistols at his funeral earlier this year.

Thank you .....best Record

[@robthomas9680]

Lovely video

[@Merseysiderful]

2:00 Pedestrian crossing road and not checking for car turning right, so some things never change.

[@MaggieTD]

That's one of the scenes that grabbed my attention 😁 I just knew they weren't gona look 🙄

[@itsmerowey]

It's the pedestrian's right of way if he has started to cross before the car is turning into the road.

[@brother.d9979]

Im walking on the left at 3.00

[@jeanhornby2995]

Last days of a busy high street

[@barmysalami9827]

Whats the music called to this video?

[@GaiaMediaIndustries]

I still have nightmares about Penzance. Market Jew Street usually, for some reason.

[@maggied8468]

Felt quite sad watching this. Penzance looked so busy then. Lots of shops gone now. The town needs improvement. My children were teenagers in 20000
