Jack Pizzey Reports from Margate for Man Alive
This documentary was broadcast as part of the Man Alive series which was a documentary series that took a look at all aspects of society in the UK and abroad. This episode was looking at the popularity of the seaside resort of Margate and remains a wonderful time capsule of what the British seaside once looked liked 50 years ago!?
It was first broadcast on the 3rd October, 1974

I was 12 in 1974. My Nan used to live in a lovely bungalow in Margate. Her garden was full of lavender. I love lavender as it evokes so many wonderful memories. I spent lots of years in Margate and I loved growing up in the 70’s. How times have changed.

I also like walking down meadows full of lavender and surrounded by willow trees on a beautiful bliss full sunny day with blue skys . We all have the same wants for nature and beauty. I go to epping forest for that kind of experiance ,but , if you want lavender i seen alot of farms growing lavender in daventry ,so ask the farmer if you can walk through is lavender field farm and, bring back cherish child hood memorys.

@@zeddeka I clearly did. I guess it depends on your circumstances, where you grew up etc. But the fact remains that the British were still riding a high of post-war jubilation in the early seventies, at least. And the working class were better off then too, on the whole - at least, better off comparatively speaking than they are now. Even Ted Heath's Conservative government was more generous to the working class than the current Labour one.

Most of those hotels haven't changed the sheets since 1979!!! It's all still there, untouched never mind decorated,or modernised. It was quite disgusting. Couldn't find anywhere to eat after nine. We saw hotels advertising in their windows "free soap" in the bathroom 😂😂😂 which was on the landing to share with several other rooms 😂 it was beyond run down,yet still charging top rate prices to the few diehards who were old enough to look like they'd been going every year for ever. It was so grim. We told horror stories for years about the things we encountered 😂 Should have left it as happy memories.

I was 22 and back in Scotland. I had been working in John Lewis, Oxford Street, and staying in West Hampstead. In April 1971, I took a day trip to Margate and met a Swiss aupair who was also on a day trip. She was working for a family in Edgware, North London. She was my girlfriend for 5 months before she returned to Switzerland. London was wonderful back then.

As a local, I used to love the influx of Londoners every summer ; it kept Margate, well the whole of Thanet, lively. It was great place to grow up. It breaks my heart to see its decline since the 70s. No different to other seaside towns, I suppose. The English culture depicted here has vanished, sadly and I'm not sure that diversity has improved it. The “pier” was always known as the Jetty, btw, a remnant from history when trippers arrived by boat.

Funny how you manage to pin the decline down to the lack of English culture and diversity. You mention the Londoners that used to come to Margate. Well, since the 70s, those Londoners you talk about and many others from other cities decided holidaying abroad was better and thanks to the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair, pretty cheap too. That's what killed off Margate, not diversity!

@@BlackRose-vi2yg That they were not hypnotically obsessed by yet to be invented mobile phones is just one of the many reasons why it undoubtedly was so much better then. As for 'body art', everyone's opinion is 'subjective', and all opinions contribute to 'productive' discussion if you are not tethered to a set of pre-defined conclusions. All of these things are indicators. You would rather we ignore them. That tells me you know that the implied point was valid and are trying to concoct a reason why the 'evidence' should be ignored. I don't know if you were actually here in England at that time, but I was, and it was a much more beautiful and pleasant country. I would assert that most alive now who lived through those times would agree with me.

Alas outside of old town you'll find a lot of boarded up shops and buildings. Drugs are rife as well poverty and dangerous folks pottering about. It is better in the summertime as the crowds do mask the issues the area currently has. What is amazing watching this is how backwards we have gone. It's rather alarming. Living so close to margate and seeing what I see now compared to what I've just seen from this wonderful short film it is rather sad indeed.

The old couple saying it hadn't changed in 50 years, well 50 years later and it will have. In 1974 as in 1924 people would have been sitting in deckchairs, digging holes, watching punch and judy. Now it would be people staring into their phone and not speaking

Life was much simpler in these days. Yes, many of us hadn’t got a pot to piss in, but our expectations were much lower. The spirit of the English folks made it what is was, everyone was so unpretentious and hospitable. We will never experience these times again. People say we hanker for nostalgia and it’s true that we do. Why? Because this country is finished. It’s been spoiled beyond all recognition and gets worse with every passing year.

I can imagine this being shown to a bunch of left wing woke students and being asked what they thought of 1974 England. No doubt they would have said oh there’s no ethnics minorities, or transgenders or disabled people and all the men are sexist. Yeah? Well that’s how it was in those days and it was the best time ever.
