Video

Nice to meet you and your wife today at Sculpture by the Lakes today. Great pictures.

This was lovely. I try not to go there now.

1:55 why does that engine have a face?

When we can't afford to produce electricity and begin extracting coal again we will wish we had kept a few more of these scrapped locos.

wow amazing so much better then it is now all these high rise flats in poole quay look disgusting

Very sad this is how they ended up

What’s the source of the fantastic photograph on which this brilliantly done vid is based? I’d love to find out if it’s possible to have a printed copy to frame up and display.

I ' m so sorry - Greetings from Germany.

My great grandfather was stood outside I think it was Beales and he was blown across the road. I have no dates though. Only a memory of being told the story xxx

Hi, I'm doing a project about old Poole at the moment - can I embed this video as part of the story? Thanks

I Lived in Poole from 1961 till 2000 and moved to North Wales. I remember Poole like this my 1st School was where the RNLI is now on West Quay Rd. W e lived in Garland Road and my parents both worked at Millers which is where i worked from 1974-2000 Poole has changed so much.

lived there 2001 till 2012 💗💗💗

i think that was the spirit of king arthur

Same thing has sadly happened in Bournemouth. Funny how elected councillors wreck the towns they represent.

4.18 shows The old Poole grammar (Seldown) which I attended in 1986.

My Uncle Tom from Tottington, Lancashire aged 21 RAF was killed there staying in the hotel. R. I. P. When visiting a couple of years ago Tourist Information had never heard of it. 😔

There is no ‘the ghost of Glastonbury’. Glastonbury has a number of known ghosts in various parts of the town, but I have to say I have never heard of this particular one. My family have lived here for many generations so are reasonably aware of the locations where ghosts have been detected.

Very skilfully done...thanks!

I remember it like that. I was a taxi driver at the end of the 1960's and early 1970 when I married and moved to London. I was proud I knew every road, alleyway, pub etc. but when I made a fleeting visit a few years back, I was totally lost!

I said it before and I'll say it again. Why would it be in English? And how many languages are spoken on this planet?

Using Google 3D streetview I've worked out that the photo which is used quite a lot in this video (e.g. at 0:34) shows the bombed building which stood before Beales was built. Slightly to the right is Lloyds Bank on Old Christchurch Road and the white building near it (opposite corner) is RBS. The flat roofed building in front of shot is the bar "The Mary Shelley" and the photo was probably taken from the back of the graveyard or St Peter's Church itself. The church in the distance is St. Michaels Church at the top of Poole Hill.

Ghosts dont exist so the answer is no

This was the destruction of Poole! Not the revitalising of it! The high street has died following this calamity!

Great place to visit. Is this evidence of a ghost?...we will never know. A camera on a tripod using a very long exposure, I could reproduce " ghost" pictures like this for you all day long. Nice guitar playing by the way.😎

After watching this video I've decided to drop my Earthly impulse, I don't want any trouble.

Thomas and his firends were so sad they nearly cried

Depressing to see all those relics of the past just rotting away

If a steam locomotive exists, fine. i do not care. But if its sold for scrap and left there to rot past the date of initial scrapping, it should be burnt to the ground for all i care!

Did notice that 41313 was not in the video. 41313 is now on the isle of Wight steam railway with 41298 both are ivatts

#take no parts take no parts take no parts

Where are all the side rods?

Going down the Cellar Club (now The Blue Boar) in '63, '64 in Market Street with its gas lights was like going back in time to the Victorian era!

music name please

Just uploaded a video of what could be a UFO I filmed please check it out and leave a comment thanks

Thanks everyone for commenting on my Poole 1963 film. The music is a licenced production track by Mark Hewer featuring Mike Burn on guitar. For those visitors who want to examine the scenery at a more leisurely pace, can I suggest the freeze frame button - that way, you can see everything very clearly at whatever zoom level you want.

A facebook (crib) says the music is "The Calling" by a guy called Mike Hewer...but I have not been able to source this track...

brilliant music

This plays too fast to fully appreciate the scenery

Oh my god, They have systematically destroyed what Poole was in the name of progress. Panning a very unique photo certainly does say a lot. Beautiful, thank you for sharing

Nearly all of these have been saved only a few got scrapped over 200 saved and now running.

Even though its a sad sight the steam engines used alot of coal and yet were running out of the stuff daily but their still my fav locomotives <3

A really interesting video, we are from Bournemouth and can relate to most of the places your father spoke about. Thanks for sharing.

Actually, a lot of the houses you can see were redeveloped under the slum clearance programme. I lived here in West Street as a very young child and the houses were in a foul state. We were rehoused into a post war "quickbuild". But if BDH Chemicals (as it was know then) hadn't come along with investment who knows? There was a planning restriction for decades afterwards that meant the tallest building allowed was Barclays Bank on The George roundabout The last twenty years has seen far worse damage by the powers that be and their "millionaires" playground vision.

Amazing Vids, Disclosure is imminent. The nations of this pale blue dot can no longer hide the facts.

There comes a time when some steam engines have to be scrapped

This used to be my playground

I agree😖😔

"You people did not deliver my pizza in 30 mins or less" ???

The good old days used to love playing on them but security didn't : ) .

I know modern Poole very well. I never knew this old Poole. I didn't recognise anything for ages looking at this, then i spotted the railway crossing bridge and got my bearings. This is very interesting. Thanks for showing it.
