Seaside Holiday - 1933 | The Archivist Presents | #253

I am not sure if I will get to see the sea during this summer of Covid-19. It's lovely to look back on this British Movietone film of seaside antics during the early 1930s. This was the early days of sound newsreel and there is no commentary. I find it very relaxing to watch and listen to these revellers having fun. Our records don't show where this lovely film was shot - perhaps you know? Crowded paddle steamer arriving at Pier. The crowds stream off. Loaded lorry with trunks and cases. Street scene in seaside town with crowds strolling around in summer wear. Woman selling Seaside rock at shop door. Elevated shot of crowded beach. Shot taken from the side of a Scenic railway.
