The film also features the traditional knitting of the fisherman's sweater known as a 'Gansey' & the surviving art of model Coble making, the traditional fishing boat of Redcar.
Also features folk songs by Greame Miles& The Keelers & incidental music from John Conolly.
What a brilliant video. I was born and bred in Middlesbrough and Redcar was our go-to holiday spot for years. My Scottish Gran had a holiday shack in Coatham and when we were kids she would tell ghost stories and frighten us all to death !!!
Born Stockton ,grew up playing in the sea from Seaton Carew down to the Gare,enjoy fishing with rod and line in front of Redcar .cant beat a lemon top !
Absolutely love Redcar and have committed ourselves to visit this hidden gem on a regular basis.
Great video.
Lovely to watch 😊 My grandfather was a Redcar fisherman and steelworker, and so was my dad (retired now). I always think of my grandad when I'm on the beach, he loved it so much. I'm very proud of our little town, its history and its hard-working people.
Born in BORO, lived in Redcar till I was 16 then left the town for work in London in 1981. These programs make me realise I didn’t know what we had. The sea, sand and those boats and tractors to play on. I’m going to go home and appreciate it
This is a real pleasure to watch and I think a great tribute to the fisherman of Redcar. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the singing and all things good about Redcar.
My first meal upon my return to Redcar from California was a fine lobster caught by my cousin David Robinson whose father was Tom, a past curator of the lifeboat museum. Vera Robinson,Tom's wife, was a lifelong supporter of the RNLI and was honoured by the Queen for her efforts.
Lovely video!
