Croydon's Surrey Street Market - 1971
Surrey Street Market - the place for cheap flowers, fruit and vegetables - and all paid for in the newly-launched decimal currency.
Surrey Street was also the place to see some of the styles and habits of the ordinary people of early 70s Croydon.
Since I first posted this, I've learned that Surrey Street Market is the oldest street market in Britain, with a charter going back to the year 1276.
There's more on the history of the market on the web - try searching on 'history of surrey street market Croydon'.
I shot these clips on Standard 8mm Kodachrome.

Big beaches, big skies, and very few people - North Norfolk's beaches are great places to be.

Geese at sunset - with the sound that fills the sky.
zhlédnutí 677Před 15 lety
One of the good things about winter time in Norfolk, UK. Thousands of these Pinkfooted Geese roost on the tidal mudflats of The Wash, and fly inland at dawn in search of grazing. At sunset they fly back to their roost, filling the sky with the sound of their chattering and their wings. When spring comes, the geese head back to the Arctic to breed.

Greylag geese - cleaning and preening, splashing and swimming
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 16 lety
Cleaning and preening, splashing and swimming - life is pretty easy for a greylag goose now in late July, the breeding season is over and the food is plentiful. There are hundreds of these geese on fields near the RSPB Snettisham reserve. A few geese are not in fields - some are rooting around in the tidal mud of the Wash, but the geese in this video were chilling out on the shores of a fishing...
Feeding time at the goldfish pond

Some of the twelve hungry goldfish in our garden pond.
Your videos are beautiful and calming. I'm moving the North Norfolk later this year and cannot wait to get out on my bike to discover these quiet places.
This is beautiful Ian. Only one problem - Horace keeps looking round the lounge for the thrush!
Thank you Sharon. Snowdrops are so small and unassuming - but they're the first spring bulbs to flower each year, and when you see them together in their thousands, at places like Walsingham abbey, they are very impressive.
Thank Sandra - I'll give this some thought.
Immediate thought - this would be lovely on a "sensory" video. Maybe you should compile one? Lovely :-)
Lovely!
myrandommovies - I grew all that oxygenating plant by accident! Too much nitrogen-based liquid fertiliser used on the pot plants surrounding the pond.
wat is tht plant called?
i had them plants before but ass they grow to fast i had to get rid of them cause they kept clogging up the filter
I started the pond with a selection of water plnts, but this one gradually took over. I think it was the run-off of flower fertiliser from the pots around the pond that made it so good for this oxygenator.
