Holiday Parade 2 : The Sarnia Ferry & St. Peter Port - 1966 

I can remember travelling from Weymouth to Guernsey St Peter Port as a kid with my parents in the mid 60s. Great memories.

Good memories the time when a group of three Portuguese arrived in Guernsey, precisely April and May 1966, fifty years ago, during which tourism flourished and horticulture, fisheries and agriculture were the main industries in Guernsey. At the Summer season the Island had a large influx of visitors from the UK, France, Holland and Germany, the busiest time of the year were the months of June, July and August, in general trade particularly, restaurants cafes and kiosks near the beaches and all commercial and industrial derivatives prospered from tourism. The workforce in hotels and restaurants were Spanish, Italians, French, Austrians, Swiss, and Irish and at that time the number of Portuguese was only six.
