Minehead - 1943 - Osborne Personal Film

Wartime fun and frolics at the Somerset seaside: sunbathing and seaweed fighting on Minehead's golden sands, and day trips to Dunster and Carhampton.

This beautiful home movie records the Osborne family's wartime fun and frolics on a Somerset seaside holiday: sunbathing and seaweed fighting on Minehead's golden sands, as well as day trips to Dunster and Carhampton for picnics and cream teas. It's 1943 but you wouldn't know there was a war on. The gorgeous Kodachrome colours enhance the film's blissful distance from conflict across the Channel.
