#digitisedcinefilm #nostalgia #cornwall #1976 #familyholiday #merchantships The 1976 Heatwave That Turned Cornwall Into A Tropical Paradise - Part One This film was originally a standard 8mm Cine Film Digitised with a Kodak Reels Scanner. In this captivating digitised cine film, we follow the same adventurous family who kicked off their holidays in Devon back in 1970. Fast forward to 1976, and they’re now exploring the stunning shores of Cornwall, starting with an exhilarating boat trip in Falmouth harbour, showcasing impressive merchant ships. Next up is Pendennis Castle, where the young lad is up to his cheeky antics on the cannons! Get ready for breathtaking views of Falmouth dry dock and the bustling ships being worked on. Keep your eyes peeled for some intriguing USA Army vehicles, though their exact location remains a mystery—let us know if you’ve got the scoop in the comments! After a day of exploration, it’s time for a refreshing drink—after all, England was basking in a heat wave! Marvel at the stunning rocky coastline, possibly Lands End, before our young adventurer takes to the waters on a paddle boat, just as a narrow gauge steam train and carriage glide by. The family spent their holidays in Devon in my previous films during September and it is possible that this was also September. Don’t miss PartTwo!
