Me too, used to work on those motor boats by the side of the West Pier during the summer, and at the amumusments at the front of the West Pier, so many memories in that film, sea front lights, the sputnik, the original London Road market, Pool Valley, the picture sellers

Now, a carpet of sea-tolerant native wild flowers! Valerian, Sea Lavender, Horn Poppies, Cineraria, and Sea Cabbage to mention only a few. No weeds at all!
Great film. Thanks for sharing.

I worked for Mears' at the Open Market as a teenage student. Can still smell that fish hall. The other sensory experience I had watching this was the blue concrete and cold water of the paddling pool on my toes, eerily familiar.
