Let us take you on a guided tour of Pre-War Plymouth as we recapture on film scenes that are no longer with us.

What this video sets out to do is provide a lasting record of a Plymouth that for many is just a memory and for others - a mystery.

Here at last is a video that attempts to put all these images in a context that will - for the first time ever - bring Pre-War Plymouth back to life!

First released in 1994 the hugely popular original has now been remastered for DVD and provides an even sharper insight into pre-war Plymouth. This street by street guide lovingly recaptures the old city and provides a true treasure for anyone old enough to remember it and an indispensible key for anyone keen to unlock the world as it was known to their grandparents.
