I'm a Cornishman and I live in Cornwall and this is so fascinating you've done an incredible job thank you.

My father was born in Helston in 1916 and never stopped talking about his wonderful childhood in the area. Such a great film, thanks.
Historic film that needs a wider audience
You can say that again. This can be used for history lessons.
Fascinating to have this. You'd never know of the battles going on just over the Channel with the lady water-colourist dabbing away.
Cornwall is a magical place!!!
I'd move back in a heartbeat
Interesting to think how very unlikely that generation never ventured up north probably never left Cornwall. How time changes. Fascinating piece of film. Wonder what future generations will think when they view our generation with our little phones to our ears ignoring one and other.
@Terence,we know people who have never left Cornwall even now.
They'll probably see black face's because that's all you see now on television . So sad really that you're culture has been swamped due to politician's having no backbone and people terrified Being labelled racists or a bigot .
Both my grandparents were born in Truro around this time and lived in Falmouth then moved to South Africa. I always heard about Cornwall and my Gran always made Cornish Pastries. A 100 years later I have return to UK and will be visiting Cornwall for the 1st time in July. I cant wait to go back to my roots and see beautiful Cornwall. This video shows how they would have remembered it.
@Jenny,if you ever do come here to Cornwall don't call them pastries it's Cornish Pasty's , you will be most welcome x
What wonderful heritage you have Jenny , I feel excited for you , what an incredible gift to unravel ;D enjoy
Awww, this is beautiful! How was your visit to Cornwall?
I have no idea how you managed to colour it, but it's an excellent job.
DeOldifyVideos It's a great AI app. Free to use. It isn't perfect but it is helping to breath new life into images and film from the past.
Agreed. It's not overpowering either, very subdued and subtle colours.👌
Never thought I'd say this but those seagull noises make me miss home.
The seagulls sound familiar.
Have the same memories of Blackpool my home town!!!
I can send you some, they drive me mental 🤪
We have the things here and we don't live near the sea. You can have them.
Absolutely amazing footage - loved seeing the two fountains in Morrab Gardens and the two ladies walking by in their long dresses. Thank you so much for sharing.
Are those gardens still there?
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 They certainly are!
Wow ! Brilliant footage. If you freeze / pause the video at 1:24, you would think it's the 1960's / 1970's - not 104 years ago !!
The speed correction is perfect. People moved so naturally.
Thank you so much. . Give You a little window into days gone bye . Wonderful
Fabulous footage. Wonderful to think that my grandparents who were children at that time may have been amongst those on the film. This would have been half way through the Great War, and people were just going about their business whilst their loved ones were being killed in their thousands abroad.
Amazing wow 😮 at my age my grandparents would of lived in these times and my parents just a new born , . Great to see how it used to be . Thankyou for taking the time to put this together . I love it . ❤️👍
If you go to the museum at Newlyn where they keep records of the Tide heights for a hart Datum you will find the sea level has risen substantially
@@katebrodie9089 rising tides are a bit of a worry these days ..... 😏☹️ thanks 👍
Fascinating. In the St.Ives section I used to lease the right hand part of the White Hart Hotel (behind the fisherman's hut) as a bakery shop circa 1977. Fish Street has been widened since those days as well.
Thank you for this! Beautifully done! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This is the Cornwall I would loved to have seen. Nowadays it has been over manicured and sanitized. Still though it is one of the most beautiful places.
Excellent really enjoyed and appreciated these videos. People seem a lot happier then even though life must have been very hard. Would love to see more of these great videos please. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wonderful work , thank you very much .
How wonderful that you have shared this with us.
A labour of love. Thank you, and well done.
We use to go to Polperro as a kid in the 60s . The family would stayed up on the hill at Killigarth Manor caravan site and every day for two weeks I would walk down to the village via a back dirt rd only stopping on the way back to drink from the most refreshing clearest water I have every had in my life! Beauty at its best!
Thank you so much for uploading this. It is so brilliant to see the County of old.
Tremendous footage. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thank you.
A wonderful piece of history. I have never lived there only had yearly holidays since the early 1960's. It is amazing so much of what one sees now is still there just magical. thank you
Fantastic footage nice to see good old Great Britain the way it use to be
Poor
Brilliant. That really brings things to life. And I guess the dubbing took quite some time. Gobsmacked at the footage.
Just brilliant....what a jewel. You did a great job. Thanks
Really interesting thank you for sharing this fabulous footage,👏👏👏🙂❤️
I love Cornwall this was so well done thank you from New Zealand
Wow that was fascinating, thank you!
Such a happier time.
Really ¿?
Yeah it was a much happier time, apart from the fact there was a world war taking place.
And it's shown at the correct speed. Thank you for this
This is beautiful. Thank you for colouring the footage for us.
Bring back the simple life
If only 😷😷😷😷stay save.
Cold baths, cold winter, outhouses, cesspools, disease, unemployment, illiteracy, coal smoke,and poop everywhere
@@bridgetstoli2347 A bit like today.but I get your point.stay safe.
This is great!,love it!..Thankyou !
So Clever I'd watched on the TV .. Awesome Thanks For Sharing ..
Amazing and beautiful. Brilliant to see the people! 💖
This is fantastic. Thank you.
One word amazing footage thank you.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
Wonderful footage! Thank you....
Wow what amazing film.......thankyou ..
Thank you very much, amazing
That’s really awesome. Thank you. My grandmothers family were from Cornwall
This is just beautiful I have subscribed ❤️
Wow 1916 my grandfather was somewhere in the mud & blood of the somme or verdun. Lovely footage.
This is fantastic!
Awesome footage ..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
amazing loved it thank u
That's is fantastic to see thanks
Wonderful an excellent job. Have these places changed much, I wonder?
The Enys Dodman arch at the end is amazing to see, it's still there today although you can see it's been eroded a fair amount, great job!
Amazing to see favourite places over 100 years ago
Great video. My ancestors came from there. Thankyou!
Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Brightening up old black and white images in color is the trend and then immediately adding appropriate music. But these film images are only accompanied by natural sounds of seagulls. That is a relief, thanks! As if we were entering a time capsule. To know that none of those children is alive is saddening...
Anyone else notice the cameraman filming as the Cornish luggers were heading out to fish? Incredible to think how being the second most exposed piece of coastline in britain and with our renowned winter and spring storms battering out coast and how the seas around our cornwall can change so fast, how brave our ancestors were as they rowed out from out harbours! No motors to quickly head in again....
Incredible jump back in time 👌🏻😎
What an exceptional and vital part of Cornish heritage , really beautiful , loved the little boy holding dearly onto his equally little dog friend , very poignant ;D
When i hear the seagulls inland around where i live, their song doesn't seem to hold the same mystic call as when they are by the sea. Great video thanks.
Great. Same rocks and sea. Some things are timeless.
Same sea levels too!
Brilliant - some places are still very recognisable
Wow loved it
Outstanding
How the **** can there be three dislikes on this wonderful old footage? OK, I can understand someone not being too interested, moving on without leaving a like, but to take the time to leave a thumbs down just mystifies me. Could the seagulls have annoyed three folk that much?😁
I can't be certain but I'm pretty sure these were not 1916 seagulls. If they are a later addition, maybe they should be sent to whereever seagulls get sent.😁
Other than the gulls, this was some fantastic footage and was probably some cutting edge stuff at the time. The camera was getting some mighty suspicious looks. Of course, filming a load of kids in a Cornish village today would probably get you 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 than looks.
Great piece of film; thanks for sharing it.👍👌😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
P.S. Good work with the colour too.
There probably immigrants who disliked it
Fascinating
Falmouth the birth place of my Great grand Mother,now buried in New Zealand and today my children and Grand children live back in Falmouth.Looking forward to visiting in 2022.
Amazing work. At 2:28 can be seen Cox and Co, Engineers and Shipbuilders. They built tugs and trawlers among other types, including several paddle steamers for use on the Amazon.
Yes.
Beautiful and treasured film so amazing that it has become colour,my father was born in 1913,so I can get a picture of what life was like whilst he was growing up
Do you have any footage of St Eval ? I live in Cornwall ,I loved the lady painting and all the men giving her daggers it's really funny, if only we could turn the clock back .
I liked the rowing-boats headding out to fish and meeting the sea, which will always win! Someone said above that this was made when all manner of horrors was occuring in Flanders Fields. Some things havent changed in the film.
I found this film fascinating and beautiful , 😁👏
Amazing
Lovely to see.I am fairly sure the group of fishing sailing boats will have (& still do) dull red/ maroon sails. I think they can only fish the inshore water by sailboat
if only i could go back in time...i would be in bliss
Imagine how cheap those fisherman's cottages were then. They'd be flabbergasted to know they go for more than a million quid apiece nowadays.
Yep! Greed 😠
Wow!
Homesick now. Great video
nice job
The first scene of Looe with the boy sitting on 'little pier'; I have sat there many times and jumped off that pier many more. Thanks for the memories. The second scene is not Looe.
I bet Cornish was spoken by most then, and was alive and well. Sad it died out, but glad it's making a recovery slowly.
Unfortunately not - Cornish died out before this film was made.
This is fantastic I was born in Redruth Ty must say I did laugh at the Cornish man wearing a bowler hat.
Look at all those lovely Cornish Luggers!
The colouring is First class, movie is far to damage to clean up of all the print damage.
Only way to increase resolution would be to scan the original print, beyond that it's just upscaling.. eg you can't add much to what isn't there from the source file.
This looks good, I lived here and recognise many of the places, You'd be surprised how little some of it has changed, you can easily tell where it is, if you're familiar with the area
I think the seagull sounds are overdubbed,
they didn't have noisy gulls in those days 😄
Yep, and they crapped on you just the same.
Aren't the noisy ones the inland sky yobs from the tips and cities ¿?
The days of no holiday makers..LUSH
The Victorians/Edwardians loved Newquay, I'm sure I saw a few on the Newquay clip .
Fascinating...wonder what Abdulla was selling at 0:13 ?
Abdulla were Turkish cigarettes and smelled `exotic`.
Really good colorization and you haven't added some naff music soundtrack.
This is where many of my ancestors are from, I would love to return to live there.
Is that the Headland Hotel?
These films should be shown in schools, so kids could go to these villages on day trips to measure and observe first hand that sea levels haven't risen a single inch in over 100 years.
Wow
on the newquay scene, was that the rock beforw the house was built on it?
Yep
Meanwhile just across the water, thousands of boys from these same villages were being cut to ribbons by German machine guns... I bet their last thoughts were of a different din.
Not of cries and bombs, but of Gulls and crashing waves... and whispers in a lovers ear. Final moments spent longing for this sweet yet salty serenity.
RIP My Great Grandfather Cpl William Barrows 13126 6th Bn Oxford and Bucks Light infantry. Killed on the 2nd of June of the same year this was filmed, on the first day of The Battle of Mont Sorrel, whilst trying to get a line to a pocket of stranded Canadians.
He now lies next to his friend Arthur Coke Thomas, and the brave Canadians at The Bedford House Cemetery Belgium.
Rest in peace all these brave lions of men... We shall not forget, nor shall we ever surrender the freedoms they died for. ⚔️
Looked like a steam powered crane around the two minute thirty second mark
Sehr interessant - wir sind gerne dort und lieben Cornwall.
The good old days.
