Stuart Armfield artist and filmaker shot a series of films between 1958 and 1970 in and around the port of Looe in South Cornwall using a Bolex 16mm colour camera. This archive footage from the South West Film and Television Archive was edited by Robert Hocking and converted into a digital format. The project has been part funded by South West Screen and the Heritage Lottery Fund. In this film the footage has been enriched by using music from Rob Congdon.
Great to see how nice Looe Seafront looked, back then. It's a terribel mess, these days, with the highlight being a bright blue section of sewage pipe, to get in the way of the boats and people. Thanks for the film, it is lovely.
