I bet that nobody in that race realised that there was a future Olympian running in the race.

What's with the bloody dog at the end?.

Can't believe it, dog at athletic meeting, took many dogs everywhere.

Phoebe Gill's time doesn't count for record purposes, as it's mixed gender. However, I can't see it would make much difference to the time than if she's been running in a top class women's senior race. That would have put her #13 on the world U-18 list and 4 seconds faster than the UK U18 women's 1500m record.

Wow...just watched Diamond League from Oslo last night and the winning time was 1:59. This young lady is world class already.

Why is it, there's always seems to be a tosspot, that has to bring along his annoying and barking, whiney mutt... Phoebe did great and will soon break the British records, for both the 800/1500m. That's how good she is.

There are a couple of relevant comments on the Athletics Weekly Forum site, made just after this race on 1st May - I hope you/they don't mind me quoting them, as it adds information: 01-05-24, 21:41 (From RunUnlimited) Unfortunately won't count for qualifying or record breaking purposes, but not long ago at the Watford Harriers Open Graded meeting tonight, super talent Phoebe Gill, CYG 800m champion last year, smashes her 1500m PB by over 6 seconds to record 4:05.87 during one of the seven 1500m races that took place. That time is way under the Q standards for both the World U20s and Euro U18s (she's eligible for both as she turned 17 very recently), but as it was performed during a mixed race with male athletes, it will not be registered officially. The same is true for Lyla Belshaw, a 1500m bronze medallist at the same CYG as Gill, who in the same race clocked 4:12.19, an improvement of over 4 seconds on the PB she set when winning that medal in Trinidad & Tobago. In an earlier mixed 1500m, another even younger middle distance talent, 16 year old Shakira King (who ran a sensational 2:02.60 in a mixed 800m just over a week ago), crossed the line in 4:17.79, another PB. (Thanks to Ian Hodge's Twitter page) 01-05-24, 21:46 From Occasional Hope 4.05.87 pb for Phoebe Gill in a mixed 1500 in Watford, in her first MD track race of the year (she ran 55.05 over 400 in April). That's a PB by six seconds and in her first year as an u20 goes third UK all time behind Zola Budd and Steph Twell, so she's not slowing down her progress just yet... But she needs to get in some WA single sex races to qualify for Lima. Lots of time yet though. Lyla Belshaw ran 4.12.19 in the same race, a 4 second pb which puts her second in the UK u17 lists behind, er, Phoebe Gill. 4.17.79 for Shaikira King in a different race, pb by over a second. General Comment on 12th May: At the start of this month Gill took more than six seconds off her 1,500m best when she clocked 4:05.87 in Watford, and she also ran 54.82sec over 400m on New Year's Day. Saturday's time will have come as a huge shock to Gill herself, given that her targets were set far lower until recently.

Girls in better shape than the lads at the end!

I love Clonmel,wish I still lived there.

A lovely bit of history

I remember being taken to see the Guinness clock by my parents, we stopped in Morecombe a few nights after visiting the Lakes - must be 60 years ago now.

Wonderful, my mum was from clonmel.

I fell into the pond in 1936/7, age 3 or 4. My cousin, 5 years older than me, confessed in 2017 to pushing me in by asking innocently, " Were you the boy who fell into the Whitestone Pond ?"

I have a memory of Littlehampton when I was around 2 years old in 1956. Sitting on a park bench with Mum and Dad surrounded by formal flower beds, along the wide footpath came an elephant with its keeper. I was transfixed by the elephant's stare as it passed by and have never ever forgotten the experience. So much so that when at school aged 5 or 6 I drew an elephant so well the teacher thought I'd cheated in some way.

Does anyone know Tom Davies?

Great video and great track too, which strangely suited the footage, the fifties before my time but the music definitely not ! I do like old fifties footage though, amazing how times have changed......

Great childhood memories with mum on days out never forget love you mum xx

This was a very happy memory from childhood. I was so disappointed that there was no reference to the travelling clock at the Guinness Museum in Ireland.

The English days before all the knife crime and buses and tubes being blown up. I know which i prefer.

Great shots. Morecambe is about the size of Monaco. Compact. Beautiful views. Cinemas. Theatres. Happy Mount Park. World Championship Go Karting. Markets. Fairgrounds.

Lovely video, nice to see ardfinnan in the clip! Sad to think most if not all people in it have passed on. Nice choice of music.

Love ya betty

We do a little trolling

Smashing film the good old days been going to Morecambe since 1962 I've seen the highs and lows It saddens me to see it now Good Sounds x

One day somebody will post up footage of the figure of 8 car track inside the funfair that where there in the 70s the cars where from the 50/60s .

Here for the Guinness Clock which l saw early 60s Gorleston on Sea. Would love to see it once more. Just found out that there were several versions starting with original made for Festival of Britain. Smaller travelling versions went to seaside towns all over UK. The famous toucan and the man clipping the hedge are seen here. I have only vague memories of it but found it very exciting and mysterious . Said to be the most complex mechanical clock in Britain for 300 years when first built. All scrapped except for one remaining in Dublin.

I sailed my boats in Whitestone pond in 1957. The end result was always the same - it would stop in the middle and I would have to remove shoes and socks and wade out to get it. It was only about knee-deep, so not a problem.

Lovely surprise to find this film this morning.My Nan used to work on this Helta Skelta when I was small 1967. Great memories. Thanks

The landward part of West End Pier collapsed during a storm. The authurities rushed to get the seaward end demolished as quickly as possible, before someone came up with the idea of repairing it.

My Dad was general manager at the amusement park at that time. At 1.15 in the top right I can see his office window.

An invaluable piece of film, oh the memories brought back to me, and all the the people that took me there and are not around any more.................Priceless thank you for the upload................Peter

Thanks for posting this wonderful clip Bety Silva. That is just as remember it. Us kids knew it as the Sandycuts. There was a field where they flew model airplanes around in circles on wires. I lived in Pollard Road.

Fascinating ..

I remember going to see it when it came to town

Yes when you looked at the \Butlins fair from the other side, not the river view, it always looked like the wooden dipper was built on the roof of the building, always sononemous with Little Hampton when i was a kid in the the 50s.......Peter

The Big Dipper ride at the end of the film was not the Wild Mouse, the Figure of Eight was much larger. This Giant Wooden Dipper was built in 1933 and closed in 1962 with the replacment of the smaller Wild Mouse.

awesome just as I remember it

This is fantastic! Let's have one again! There is a similar one now on the Southwold Pier...fun.

What a fantastic film of yesteryear Littlehampton, just as I remember as a child. Butlin's Park was a favorite haunt of mine. The amusement park was brimming over with a variety of rides, including the much missed Figure of Eight Dipper. I noticed the video ended with a brief shot of the ride in full. Would love to see an extended version. Thanks for the upload.
