Lived in Truro nearly all my life,..........can't help thinking it was a much better place back then. Great video.

[@markedwards1515]

Like everywhere !

[@billwellington4339]

It certainly was......from an Aggie Boy....👍👍

[@insertpienow]

things changed...but for me UNHAPPILY Truro started to lose its feel when they did away with the cattle market on castle hill and closed Lemon quay parking....Sadly Truro is well on the way to being another Generic - UK Mono Town.... ..a Great film clip...Thank you for sharing.

Happier days in Truro. Had a business there for 30 years. Good local shops before the multis moved in.

Great film. Thanks for uploading. I remember the Queens Silver Jubilee street party was the first time I ate cheese (and liked it), and the first time I drank beer! Love the cars in this era. Petty unreliable but full of character.

My Great Great Grandfather was from Truro and became a Methodist Missionary and went to NZ.

Fantastic. Especially as my mother is shown briefly.

[@Josh24s]

Lovely video

Think that first view of the cathedral was taken from Treyew Road? One of my relations ran Jenkins fruit and veg shop on King St then later Chimes Cafe round the corner on High Cross. Used to pray for wet days in August days when visitors came into town instead of going to the beaches!

Was living in Newquay then. Moved to Falmouth in 78

[@TedCornish]

See how clean Truro used to look, full of shops and people, now it's dirty and full of pasty shops ! Bah progress indeed !

[@mistofoles]

On one of the sidestreets in Falmouth there is a huge, famous figurehead of a woman that has been there for many years.The figurehead is outside a shop and displays a sign that says "NOW OPEN". My dad posed for a picture next to the figurehead with the sign pointing to his pants :D

[@royfearn4345]

Shot on standard 8 by the looks of it?

[@mistofoles]

Hi, could you tell me the name of the tune that accompanies the film and the composer, please? :)

[@MemoryMediaCineFilmArchive]

Hi, The piece of music that I used for this one came from a company called SmartSound ( www.smartsound.com/ ) the name of the album is "Guitar Shop" and the track is called "Bountiful" the name of the composer is Thomas Gerard Washatka. Hope this helps.

[@mistofoles]

+Geoff Claydon Thanks......it's a great tune :)

[@stribs1]

I was trying to work out where those Morris. Dancers were doing their dance. Any idea?

[@lyndseykramer]

No idea. Total novelty to the Truro people though at that time.

[@TedCornish]

[@Susannamf]

[@martynm.449]

Yeah, its definitely UK.

[@tigerstripey4885]

It is Truro in Cornwall.

[@SimonFrench-hb9wc]

@@martynm.449 All the cars are English and they are driving on the left side of the road. How many Cortinas, Vauxhalls and Austin Princesses has anyone ever seen in America?There's a flower garden with "ER". I'm astounded anyone would even think it's the US (though I do know that Americans can be mightily challenged by geography).
