The boy in the far middle left of the boating pool shot is my brother, who has just launched his yacht? He is 78 now. Lovely family memories from the 1950’s

I was born in. Teignmouth in 1932. Now 85yrs young and still live in in the house is was born in. I worked on the Peter pan railway by the light house for two summer seasons. Also the deck chairs. Teignmouth! No place like it. Although it has changed over the years and in some cases not for the best. Progress i wonder.

Hello Eric, do you remember a Teignmouth family called Rowe? We used to stay with them for our summer holidays in the 1950’s when we came down from N. Yorks. They lived in a house called ‘Ravensbourne’ on Higher Woodway Road and Stan Rowe was a Liberal Councillor. In the mid 50’s he was Mayor of Teignmouth. He also owned Lendens Butchers in the town. Very happy times and memories as a youngster and I loved your Peter Pan railway 👍

Fantastic memories. I lived there until the age of 5 and was back again at the age of 6 in 1960 until 1979. Last lived there between 1983 and 1986. The place I will always call my spiritual home. Thanks for posting!

What a gem of a film! Where did we go wrong? Well, firstly we started saying the 'h' in 'hotel', then we got rid of our grand old hotels, the Royal and the Courtenay, so all those nice people in their sun hats and floral dresses stopped coming. Oh for the return of the aquarium, the yachting pool and the Peter Pan railway! And the beach huts! PS refreshingly honest too: 'We welcome Old People'. Happy days!

Raised in Bath and spent many holidays in Dawlish and Teignmouth during the 50's and early 60's . Mainly lived overseas since then . I can imagine that for men returned from the war a couple of weeks holiday down south would have been like pure heaven in those days . We visited Dawlish and Teignmouth a few years back , Dawlish looked quite run down old buildings boarded up but we did get a room on the front at Teignmouth , poured with rain of course , but good memories .

My home town, and I spent the first 11 years of my life there. I'm 80 now and living in Canada, but the old place still looks lovely to me whenever I visit. Pretty sure I can see my sister getting on the ferry at 6.02. Nice to hear Franklin (Jingles) Engelman too, a BBC voice from my youth. Thanks Guy.
