Thanks for sharing, I so wish I could watch it frame to frame as I would of been just about walking by then I should think. I’m glued to the screen looking for those I’ve now lost!
Great footage lovely to see thankyou
Toddlers Cove Westgate Gardens, went there as a child in the 50s, took my kids there in the 60s.
Wonderful footage. My Dads boat the “Sea Spray” is in the film. He would take people on trips to the end of the pier.
I can just see him in his white shirt. Even though he suffered with Alzheimer’s, right up until he passed away in 2015, he always talked about the “Sea Spray”
