For many years I lived 50 miles from Skeggy and remembering visiting on a number occasions. All men and women dressed smartly. I could weep, what have we allowed to happen to our country.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

David Brooksbank yeah, same happened to Torquay.

[@dickiea8048]

Totally agree Visited last week and the place is so dirty and depressing now. "Dross" chav clientele everywhere. A sad reflection of today's society.

[@deanlee7034]

The place is being filled with Immigrants now from France

My grandmother had a boarding house in Skegness from the 1930s to 1960s. She had many an interesting story to tell. Mum had a lovely childhood growing up there in the 1950s and was Miss Skegness 1960. I also have wonderful childhood memories of Skegness and still go there for holidays

Facinating view of a bygone era ....

I love Cyril's enthusiasm for everyone to enjoy themselves. He must be long gone now, god bless him.

[@janeykayphotography9138]

Unfortunately yes, but my goodness he was the best Grandad in the world ... x

That lady taking a nap while she has her handbag by her side. That would have been pinched from her today.

Fabulous footage of the Corbiere wheel rotating in both directions at 6mins 10 sec and the Rock O plane in the background - the UkKs first...

I remember ridding on a donkey there when i was 5

[@LunaticandBull]

This is fascinating!

[@steakandsidJustLeeds]

Donkey Derby .......God ...the height of Holidays in Skeg during the 60s

[@neilelliott6151]

Sid was the donkey man in that shot, a very good friend of my dad. Bought me a pop or two

[@regbrobson7045]

I caught several views of Grenville Staple's mother in the piece about the Skegness Landlady Larks and one of Brian Dexters wife and a few views of other people I knew in those days.

Must have been freezing as no one is in bathing suits

[@deanlee7034]

Everybody is white....what went wrong

[@rar321blue]

Please reinstate the audio on this

[@colinhazell6259]

Super!

[@rar321blue]

Has anyone ever located part two???

[@chandlerbingbong]

Donkey racing. Can you imagine if that happened today. Dozens of hi-viz wearing council officials would descend on that beach to shut it down, closely followed by a convoy of Police cars and Jeremy Corbyn in a fully loaded Stuka.

[@TheMiserablegit]

4/- for plaice and chips??? No wonder my Mum used to make sandwiches for us all.

[@aprilapril2]

Soup on a flat plate . Wow

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Before it was Chavy. The 90s and 2000s ruined it.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Sid Vicious yeah, now It’s all cheap wack land. Sadly I’m from said generation.(2000s)

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Sid Vicious tracksuits, Vauxhall corsas with shite exhausts, *_”U WOT M8”_* always hurled around.

[@koont666]

Wonder if part 2 comes with the luxury of sound ,Great cinematography .

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

simon furlong ???? It has sound?

[@koont666]

[@danholliday5564]

Nowt up with Skegvegas.

[@kenneths1585]

No illegal migrants taking up the hotel space in those days. I remember my whole family, aunts, uncles, cousins, my parents all having a great holiday together in caravans at Skegness in 1958. My mam used to look after the photo booth at Butlins and my dad maintained arcade machines, i just had fun. I still have the photos of my long departed relatives in Skeggy, Great memories.❤

[@Lee-nh5bb]

Did you ever know Johnny Tynan O'Mahony, who was a Redcoat for many years, and the camp tramp, and worked in the arcades in the off-season?

[@kenneths1585]

@Lee-nh5bb I didn't know him, although my parents may have done. I was very young at the time so only have selected memories. I just remember the great time with my extended family at Skegness.

[@Lee-nh5bb]

@@kenneths1585 Thanks for your reply. I only asked because Johnny was Dave Allen's brother and they were both redcoats at various Butlins. I'm reading a biography of Dave Allen's at the moment.

[@Hailstonepie]

Shame there isno sound but still worth a look.

[@jaidenazazel8974]

No Sound? I can hear all the video.
