Nudism is a subject which remains a huge talking point today.
While some feel people should be free to express themselves and strip off in public places, others are very much against it and a BBC newsreel clip from the 1970s has captured the controversy it caused in the small Yorkshire seaside town of Hornsea.
BBC correspondent Bernard Falk went to the town in 1973 to chat to residents after councillors voted 8-3 in favour of letting naked sunbathers and swimmers enter the Yorkshire town's sands. It caused a considerable amount of outrage and disgust among some of the town's older folk, as Falk soon found out during an interview for the now defunct current affairs programme 'Nationwide'.
