Stuart Armfield artist and filmaker shot a series of films between 1958 and 1970 in and around the port of Looe in South Cornwall using a Bolex 16mm colour camera. This archive footage from the South West Film and Television Archive was found by Robert Hocking and converted into a digital format. The project has been part funded by South West Screen and the Heritage Lottery Fund. In this film the footage has been enriched by using music from Rob Congdon.

I remember a few years back nobody wanted to live in a cottage, they were considered to be damp, cold, and difficult to maintain. How different it is now with all the holiday lets. I can remember there being an old cob cottage on my street that was demolished because nobody wanted it. I've often wondered how different my fortunes would've been if I'd restored it and let it out to the emmets!
