Convert old tapes, cine film, pictures and cassettes to digital in Southend-on-Sea

The deep histories of Southend’s residents are highlighted by the huge number of old camcorder, VHS, Mini DV tapes and cine film that we’ve converted to digital and DVD for local customers, unlocking countless old memories from around Essex and beyond. As one of the most quintessential seaside towns in the UK, boasting 7 miles of beach and the longest pleasure pier in the world, Southend-on-Sea has provided no shortage of photo opportunities down the years.

In one recent project we undertook for a local historian who compiled a history of the UK’s seaside holidaying tradition, we digitised many slides and several reels to DVD and digital of Southend throughout the late 19th and 20th century. Although Southend’s pier has been rebuilt several times – once because a boat crashed into it – many of its streets and landmarks look the same today as they did 100 years ago. In another recent project we undertook for a Southend resident, who purchased one of our largest ‘Peta’ packages, involved converting over 40 tapes to digital and DVD, allowing them to relive weddings, christenings, and many other treasured family memories from around the area.
