This charming footage shows what a day out at Bournemouth beach was like in 1911.
The minute-long clip shows children paddling in the sea, boys digging holes in the sand and families sat in deckchairs enjoying their trip to the seaside just as they would today.
However, there are no bathing suits on show here.
Women are dressed in boots, ankle length skirts, blouses, jackets and very grand looking hats, while the men are decked out in flat caps and suits.
There is even a mention of the "Bournemouth Bungalows" on the seafront, which we know today as beach huts.
The clip was shared on the British Film Institute's Facebook page and has had 44,000 views.
