    My family have lived in and around Plymouth for over 200 years...I loved the city back in the 60s and into the 70s

    This is really great, a lot of effort went into this. I have to say Plymouth looked nicer and more fun in the old days.

    That it's not long enough is my only criticism. A well turned out and enjoyable film, thanks.

    It has to be realised that Plymouth before WW2 was an over crowded slum. After the bombing, it had to be rebuilt, the residents spread out and more than doubled the size of the city in a few years during the rebuilding in the late 1940s and 1950s. It is still growing.

      Absolute liar. It was no such thing.

      @@JohnnyZenith I am guessing you aren't a Devonian and probably born after 1990, and have no idea about history of Plymouth or good manners. My dad remembers Plymouth just after the WW2, his dad remembered Plymouth between the wars. It was grim for many working class folk like my kin. In 1941, Plymouth covered just 9000 ha with a population of over 210,000 shoe horned in. After the war when the rebuilding was underway, it spread to over 20,000ha and a marginal population increase. It is still growing. Plymouth was recognised by historians and social activists at the time between the wars as being overcrowded and was already undergoing slum clearance after WW1 and was still going on before 1941 when the bombing started. Swilly was built as a result in the 1920s as a result of some of that slum clearance. Go read about it, I have loads of photos of the city from the 1890s and onwards, it was no paradise. As for 'liar', learn some fecking manners.

    • @JohnnyZenith

      @Kernow Forester You are a little fixated on slum clearance. Not to mention that various slum clearances were short sighted and went too far. I'm Devonian born before 1990. Plymouth was architecturally a superior city pre-war and a great deal of it was non-slum. It was overcrowded in key areas though. The Plymouth we got later was clearly architecturally worse and the urban real inferior.
      Of course cities weren't a paradise in 1890. However the loss of these superior urban realms and human architecture is huge. Today combined with modern methods and practices Cities like Plymouth, Bristol, etc would be beautiful places. Nothing could be done about the blitz of course. A tragedy.
      "It has to be realised that Plymouth before the war was an overcrowded slum" is such an awful, ridiculously over generalised statement. I should not have called you a liar however. That was wrong. I apologise. I was having a terrible day.
      We are probably actually closely aligned. However I do not like the post war city centre of Plymouth. Never did.
