There's a distinct and reprehensible lack of diversity in this video. This is unacceptable in 2024. Can it please be re-edited to correct the problem.

cant beat 60s women

I’ll bet they didn’t pay £1,000 for that registration plate…they knew the value of money then..they got the chalet for a thousand ..

its hard keep it up

Gosh..they used to build sea walls in 62…

Wow, how brilliant is this ? The houses look largely the same except now they're full of chavs and in dilapidated condition, not like here where everyone seemed to have some pride.

My nanna lives in jaywick when I was about 4/5 so about 47/48 years ago 1970s. Does anyone remember the lady who had the whole front garden made of shells collected on the beach.

Benefits becoming a way of life has changed everything.

Wonder how many of them people are still alive, bet loads of them bought caravans in the area in later life

Such a lovely moment for them all

And now it's full of toothless crack heads in tracksuits....

They must have been well off having a second home back then.

Gladis lived there two

We came here for a family holiday ann auntie ann lived at key road and gladis😭

Creepy af, but love it

Hard to think tha all these happy smiling faces have now passed over... and how smart the chalets looked... where did we go wrong ?

Any chance of some clear footage of the diesel loco? For reference? Thanks.

Hi Matthew, am I allowed to use some of the footage from this video for a university documentary I’m currently making? Full credit will be given if so. Cheers, Elliott

I live just a few miles from where this was filmed.....Great stuff.....good memories of that time.

Let's get jaywick back to its beauty

I’ve never seen the footage before but it was wonderful to see it. My youngest brother and baby sister in the pram. The chalet hasn’t changed much, a bathroom added and the veranda has gone or been enclosed.

Thanks Matthew you've brought back some wonderful memories. I stayed there many times with my mum and dad and 3 sisters, great fun . Many thanks for posting x

Reminds me a bit of the Clangers👍

Surely they all didn't get out of that tiny car.

Wow everybody was smart dressed and white

I lived in Jaywick in the early 1990s. Loved the community. True we were all broke but whoever needed a few pence for that 10p tin of baked beans would get it from a neighbour who had a few pence over until the next pay day. We all pulled together to survive whatever came our way. Never encountered another community like it before or since. I would say it should be kniwn as the BEST community in Britian, not the most “deprived”. The only thing we lacked was money ! !

The problem I have with this is that it's only four minutes long!

Very happy good people.

I used to have a friend with a holiday home there in the sixties. Their main home was a big mansion in Essex so I suppose it must have been quite posh then.

The worst music to accompany this ....absolute garbage

I like the look of it. People were slim, fit, smiling. Families together. Happy to be British, happy with their lives. How refreshing.

Cool pic's

Cool

I guess back then you were lucky to have a holiday home in Jaywick. The music does not reflect the film..

Looks amazing then

My brother is the little boy, we lived in that bungalow. Rosemary Avenue

many a holiday in jaywick back in the 70s , brooklands austin avenue .

Those kids would all be retired, now. Happy memories as a kid at Sacketts Grove Campsite. Sadly only one solution for Jaywick ... bulldoze it, fix the sea defences and re-build.

Damn this needs a VST :-D PS: You still have the code for this?

can anyone name the road i was there not long ago and many houses are abandoned and they look same as in the vid never touched

Oh wow! It was beautiful

Love the music. Very good. Do you have a link to more of your music?

Fascinating. The sea defenses are similar to so much else on that coast. I really enjoyed the music track. It would have been s bit twee with period sounds. You have really enhanced the whole piece.

The Supermassive is also great with percussions!

You wouldn't like it today been taken over by druggies, misfits with no destiny in life.

I'm a big fan of Daniel Schiffman's work and by extension Craig Reynold's steering algorithms, too. I imagine you could get some really wild Doppler effect sounds if the squares moved using a flocking algorithm. Truly endless potential. Subscribed!

Where is the Sunspot arcade? cheers!

Now it's full of deadbeats and scum with their benefits hands out.

Where is the happy club

0:25 The potholes were there already in the 60's!
