I was there in 1960, 1963, 1966, 1967 and 1969 but the pictures are all in my head. In 1963 we took the trip to Godrevy Lighthouse and almost certainly on the open wooden boat seen in several shots which I think was called the Cornish Queen. I have a cine film that my Dad took of the trip which was quite rough..the trip finished soon afterwards as being thought too dangerous. However my first visit was in 1950 and in a pram! Pictures survive of me with my parents, my friend Alan and his parents on a two week holiday staying in Trenwith Terrace. We spent the days on Porthminster Beach...the steam engines passing above. I have continued going to St Ives ever since...dozens of times and last March just before Coronavirus became a problem. I need to be back there soon...when we are allowed and the virus is losing its grip, I will be there. Thank you for these images...maybe I am in them or not far away! 😀😀😀😀
Thanks for your great memories and keep well.
Fantastic video, traditional family fun, not commercialised and not a smartphone in sight ! I bet it was fab growing up as a teenager back then. A lovely world and a lot simpler life. Sad its changed for the worse.
I used to love the malakoff cafe just below the bus station and surfers grill on porthmeor. Many thanks. Warren
Thanks for this video, my late father introduced me to Cornwall and it stole my heart. Many happy holiday memories had and hopefully many more to come.
Thanks.
I have to show this to my mom...she would stay in st ives with family in the 1960s/1970s in the summer.
We still come to st ives every year...but I think she would like to see this to remember it how it was back then...
The first 2 boats in the 1965 section are The Cornish Belle and The Cornish Queen. They were owned by the Paynter family.(The Fleet was marked with red flag with a white P). I expect that he at the helm of the Belle when this was filmed. The Belle took tourists out to Seal Island where there was a Seal colony. The third boat in the fleet was The Cornish Crest. Dan Paynter was my Great Uncle and it is likely that he was at the helm of the Cornish Belle in this footage. It’s lovely to see, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alan: I remember Dan well - he was friends with my parents.
Have a lot of happy memories of St Ives in the late 60s /early 70s family hols. Makes me all goose bumps. But you can never relive it. But very fond memories. Mum and Dad both gone now so even more so.
W
that was 40 years before I was born, great job
wonderful, thank you Mr Redmond
had holidays there 1964 & 1965 with my mum & dad drove all the way from Liverpool took 2 days then!!! Anyone remember mr lobb the lifeguard on Porthmear beach ? , took my own son for holidays there , things follow on!!
Alan Jones two days ! Blimey, then again, would have been down the A49 at about 40mph to start with, and no M5. Was a lot nicer country back then
Can anybody remember the Regal Cafe, with stuffed birds in-wall display cabinets?
Thank you - wonderful.
I remember running around those tents on Porthminster when I was a kid .The big boat in 66/67 was it a tourist boat or a working boat ?
Hi Jane. The 'big boat' was 'The Queen of the Isles'. You actually prompted me to check a bit more on this as I had, incorrectly, named it as The Scillonian. She was owned by the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company and ran regular passenger services between St Ives and The Scillies.
cvsdigital Yeah .Thats the one I was talking about ,the boat around the 8.30 mins in ..Thanks for the reply 😁
@@cvsdigital Did passengers disembark on to The Scillies?
@@davidrowe7967 yes.
@@davidrowe7967 a lot of them would come by train to St Ives, stay for a couple of days, then get the ship to The Scillies. Sort of a mini tour of West Cornwall.
Id like to see more if you have any?
+Ben Harris Thanks Ben....unfortunately you've got the best stuff here....the rest is just 'family' stuff.
Do you have any clips of the surfers grill on porthmeor or man Friday just above it. ??? Many thanks. Warren
@@warrenstutely3320 no, sorry.
Good times back then. St Ives too commercialised now, real pity!
Exactly..lost all it's charm
Doesn't look that much different, them donkeys don't half shift
