LondonRascal Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've just watched this great short video made for a GCSE in Media Stuides project back in 1993 of a family holiday on the Broads. Compared to most historic videos one finds on You Tube, this is not that old, but notice how small the trolleys were in Roys, and when Sabina Marine was in the hire business amongst many other gems. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc7nM8pTVus 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I enjoyed that. Yep technology has moved on light years. Savoy was showing its age even then but I spotted a few cruiser styles that are still plentiful now. A lot of the Broads sights look identical now and that's a good thing. Is that the same ice cream boat guy that's always been at Salhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Its interesting to see the old Roys Department store (albeit briefly) that burnt down in 1995, if I remember correctly and Roys Foodhall without McDonalds on the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It was good that... taken just a year before I first had a Broads holiday. I think that was probably Savoy's last year as I think it had finished by I came over the next summer. Did look very dated, but I suppose twenty years is a fair time span and much has accelerated along since then. I quite enjoyed seeing Water Gem (Bounty 27 AC) as I first remembered them from when I first saw them in Scotland in '89 and from my '95 Broadland holiday when they looked like in that video Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wonderful and lovely to view. Only one boat where life jackets were being worn. They certainly packed a lot in for a week's holiday. Good for them. Lovely memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
