Newlyn in the late 1960s captured on film

This is the first of three short videos shot on cine film around 1967. Pat Pilkerton's father narrates. A big thank you to the family for allowing this fascinating film to be seen again!

In the first clip towards the end the sight of huge crayfish will surely provoke some comment and, for those who were around at the time, there are plenty of familiar faces to spot and name!

Part II

Shots of girls picking crab in Harvey's, mending trawl net, making up new baskets of longlines and putting fuel and ice aboard the Girl Patricia.
