I was born in Devonport, lived in and around Plymouth until I was 14, and I remember some of these Plymouth scenes, from this YouTube compilation.

However, I have to say that the item is 32 minutes long, it has an unfortunate amount of random 'camera waving about' footage, and the apparently inevitable background music.

Nevertheless, I suggest that you do view it, perhaps with headphones / speakers turned down, and just 'fast forward' now and again, to skip the boring bits.  Wink
