This is amazing. Where and how have you got this ?

My dad’s mum came from Leominster, The Harris’s !

I am reminded of Waiting for God, where Geoffrey (Tom's son) was talking about his wife Marion to Diana Trent. 'It's embarrassing. No-one can come to the door. She bit a pair of morons (meaning Mormons)'. I was doubled up with laughter!

If you pay ten percent of your income.tou can get help..😢😢

Most corrupt...... glad to be out of it

Always wondered what happened to the recording of me playing the Cornet at Abraham Darby School

I can remember a derailment at the north signal box in the very early fifties. There were wheels and things all over the place. I was about five, so this would be about 1951. My grandfather George Davies was a signalman at that box, but not on duty. We walked up from Railway Terrace to look at the damage.

I met that Mr Rodgers on a school trip in 1987 I was 8 years old.

This is wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

A town or village in a downturn LOL try to buy a property their now prices are so high

One year later the world was at war again. Did these people subconsciously feel it was coming? Poignant film

great, my town of living 👍👍❤

Unfortunately the town is now a haven for drugs gang's, shoplifting and antisocial behaviour, especially on the three big estates. This sugar coated version is half a century old.....

The opening shots were at the Broad just outside my house,31 north road, I was 4 years old, Broad lane is next where my mums family lived next door to my dads family, I remember just after we moved into town some years later, that house, just before demolition, was totally flooded out. Happy days!

I’d guess around 72

Incredibly sad. There is a memorial to the victims in the local church.

1982 ATV today was renamed Central News

Jesus, glad us Allports don't use this lingo anymore "ah Mon"

It's great to see even back then, people joke about when infront of the camera.

I very much enjoyed this

Inspirational, educational, were not the first words that sprung to mind. Especially from a film produced by a professional bunch of reporters.

Thank you for sharing this.

I live in Rhayader and I'm so happy that things haven't change too much and that the people are still just as welcoming.

The Castle looks a lot better in its traditional white. :)

i love newtown

The orchard in the film looks like the 60-acre orchard at Knapton, where Mr Savage was the manager. It's still there but many trees have succumbed to mistletoe.

A much simpler time, when people cared more for each other and family and neighbours were closer.

So now we have the explanation of why Craven Arms Signal Box is of relatively modern construction.

When was this? Obviously quite a long time ago now.

Nice piece of history. 👍😎

I actually worked for Buck poem after poem

Glad that this is on here because now they have started building on the Sports & Cricket field which was the home of Ledbury Cricket club for Who my Uncle Graham Symonds used to play for back in the 50/60s. Lovely memories for all..

At 15-14 the film shows my Gran Mabel Edwards outside her home at 43 Broad Street, I with my younger brother were both born in the room above where she is standing in the front doorway. we had moved to a new house at 4 Sandpits in 1952, high and dry up there and no need to keep an eye on the rising River Lugg.

I was just thinking all them people and stories that have come and gone - some happy some tragic. Great look back. Mark (Hereford)

Used to pick apples by hand just like this around 1967-1972 ay Ezzie Evans Orchards in Risbury. 10p a bagfull [after decimalisation]. Now a machine can harvest an orrchard in 20 minutes. Killed off the old village way of life.

The late John Swallow. No other news reporter like him when it came to the somewhat offbeat & unusual anywhere in the UK let alone the Midlands.

Hello, and thank you for this little treasure. I was brought here by my research about Corn Dollies. Surprisingly (for me of course, being an Italian with a base in Ireland, a country where pubs thrive but that of pubs used to be a man's world in the past) here there are women who love their drinks either in quiet or in more lively atmosphere and how lovely to hear the Royal George's publican's accent: Scottish I guess, not sure he might be from the East. Congratulations and happy to be your first thumb up as for this video. Greetings. Kitia

Hasn't changed much.

Some faces i recognise there, and the old school, wonderful atmosphere.

1951

Used to love him and his reports more please!

Only the names of businesses change in Shrewsbury, everything else stays the same. It's kind of spooky actually.

Judging by the vehicles being used in that part of the world this was filmed in about. 2005. Lol

Apart from the soundtrack, this is a very good transfer of the cine film to digital. Was this shot by Bert Scales?

The first part is Clun Carnival. The rest is a sports day at Bishop's Castle and the town's fire engine going out.

How very pertinent to today's worries over climate change. Here speaks a voice of wisdom. At first I found him entertaining then realized the seriousness of his message. A very good piece of history

Much better without the sound.
