Makes me wonder how many times we've all been captured standing oblivious in the background of someone else's photograph or film, completely unaware, and years after we and all who ever knew us have passed away, will some future person see us and wonder who we were and what our name was?...

I was on the beach almost alone...tourism is mid March to late Nov. It was 23c 🌞. Saw a dragonfly and a few bees. All flowers are in full bloom. Fruit trees of all types everywhere (in streets also) Prices? I don't smoke but ciggies are £1.35. My last electric bill for November; was £16 and water bill was £7. I have a beautiful flat, overlooking the Med Sea at 400 Euro a month. All mod cons. Winter contract so less. I won't tell you about how much cheaper food is; you can guess by what I've said. Transport infrastructure is better here also. One way bus ticket everywhere about 60p. 200km luxury coach journey about £4. My friends thought I was crazy leaving UK but I suggest I'm not.

So glad for films like this if only to show what we've lost... or rather what we didn't have to put up with... no kids on mobiles, no migrant hotels, no litter, no yellow lines, no fatties, no beggars, no burger kings, no women with willies, no rainbow police cars, no CCTV, almost no traffic. Happier times indeed.

Spoilt by some old person trying to be hip by playing orchestrated Beatles music, but still very evocative of the time. Spent a lot of my youth working down Cornwall. Another world to England and much more relaxed - all probably changed now.

Images of a world lost in time! Very cool! There is a woman who appears three times in the film on different occasions. She is wearing a red blouse and dark dress at minute 1:07 walking alone on the sidewalk. Then she appears in the middle of several people, on the sidewalk, at minute 3:14 and at minute 3:27. This time she holds the red blouse in her right hand. Thanks for the video!

I just had a look at a more recent walkabout in 4k in Penzance and the 60s Penzance looks far more charming to my eyes. The shops looked more interesting and people healthier and happier looking too and the streets look nicer. Nowadays it looks ok but its missing something and the fast food joints dont help.

The '60's were a good time for the UK we had broken free from the restrictions of the '50's and the economy was booming. But all came to an end with the shortage and rise of the cost of oil which brought the rise of inflation and the unions saw their moment, as now, and generated official strikes, unofficial strikes, sympathy strikes, restrictive practices and mass picketing. So the rate of prosperity came to an end. The '70's cycle is starting now thanks to the unions.

Different shaped cars, different shops, different fashions, a walking on duty policeman but, other than that, I am surprised just how much the everyday way of life looks much like today - and I was 11 in 1964 so I can remember what it was like then, although I was living in a London suburb then so there is a huge difference there because a street scene now would have very different looking people being multi-national in appearence

Cracking film. A bygone age, regretable. A Bobby on a bike, reminds me of a line in that 1965 song by Roger Miller "England Swings", the line is "Bobbies on bycicles two by two". A couple of observations: 1. Who is the blond, did you know her? 2. No yellow lines on the roads. 3. British motor bikes and cars. No BMWs or Audis, nothing for the present day "badge buyers"...LOL!
