- "The Winter's Snow" is a short amateur film that takes the viewer on a journey back in time to explore Winters long gone. This is the trailer to an up and coming short film in which we hear tales from Leicestershire residents and railway employees about their experiences of winters before the days of central heating with our own Quorn & Woodhouse station providing the visuals.
The snow scenes were hastily taken one snowy afternoon at Quorn in November 2021 and some internal scenes were filmed at Aston Hall in Birmingham, masquerading as Swithland Hall.
The archive audio has is by courtesy of the East Midlands Aural History Archive and the full catalogue of recordings used in this film can be listened to in full here: cdm16445.conte...
On behalf of everyone at Quorn & Woodhouse station, we hope you enjoy this film and wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
The tears ran down my cheeks, the carols so reminded me of family Christmas, now I am the only one left.
I felt the same when I watched! Although Christmas was simpler years ago it was, I think, more enjoyable without modern tech, tv and the like.
Similar to yourself I too am the only one left.
Ah John I feel for you. My mercies of Christmas past are the same. When faith meant something and Christmas was a time for honouring the birth of Christ. Look what it has become now. Your memories are precious so be glad you lived in a different time with your loved ones as I am. Xx
@@bernieoconnell5515 Thank you for your comment. I certainly do not feel that this country has made progress, we know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Best wishes to you and yours.
Me too ever since Christmas 2022. The carols reminded me of listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols on Radio 4 each Christmas Eve. Those days have passed and I’m not sure what’s left.
We can only keep fighting against the scum that have ruined our great country.@@meeluanistyn1644
Beautifully done- it took me a while to realise that this wasn't a BTF production. Well done to everyone involved for producing a little piece of magic.
Just for a moment I thought I'd gone back in time Excellent Movie full of character It's nice to dream of the past sometimes 👍
What a wonderful recreation of better times. Congratulations to all involved. Merry Christmas 2022. God bless us all.
The wonderful transport films of Edgar Anstey live on. Well done to all involved.
1962/3 was a very bad winter, people would say,
it's a ice-age coming. Gawd it went on for months.
Started in December ended somewhere around March I think.
A really clever and well made film. The makers must have really deep knowledge of the documentary films of that period.
Awe you had me really fooled by your beautiful film I hadn’t noticed until my partner pointed out that the film had been made in modern times on a heritage line on black & white film and not transferred from old film and cleaned up . This film is an absolute gem , I absolutely loved it beautifully filmed, well made and very entertaining. TH-cam alerted it to me watching your video today and I am so happy I got to see it. I just wish I had seen them around Christmastime 2021 when I was looking for interesting railway heritage films. So thanks to the volunteers, directors producers, camera photography people for making this classic film. An absolute joy. Thank you 😊
It feels so lovey to try and visit the past I am sure the times were better in lots of basic ways
Well done,very evocative.
Brilliantly made and loving recreation of BTFV
No risk assessment. No high viz .the station marster smartly dressed proud of his station. Wonderful
When people spoke with gentle voices that do not attack one's ears as so many modern accents do. ...... A joy to listen to, not an ordeal.
I feel exactly the same, but, about all the Anglo-Saxon mongrels who cannot speak a decent, civilised Celtic language. Maybe, if you don't like it here, you could move back to where your illegal immigrants came from between 420 and 600 AD, back to Germany and Jutland.
a guy opp me worked during the 47 and 63? freeze in's on the railway, he never knew when he was getting home. problems everywhere, they had no choice and no welfare wagon running after them, hard times and no let up
These have so obviously been made with love. And I think they may prove to be a commercial triumph in that they attract people to the railway. As a pro photographer, I reckon they could do with the contrast turning down a little if they are to look sixty years old or so. Other than that - perfect!
You got me !!
I thought I was watching a BTF Film of 1950 you have captured the 50s when I was born (1954) so well...
No….. It’s actually done better than BTF!
Wonderful! Oodles of atmosphere! Many thanks.
I went on a rail fans tour of Birmingham engine sheds a day or so after the 1963 big snow the black five pulling the train to Rugby where we changed trains had a snow plough on the front
Beautiful black and white photography, excellent production values.
This was brilliant. You were so lucky no modern vehicles came over the road bridge when filming those platform shots.
Well done. This came to light on 10/2/2022, and it’s been a pretty mild winter overall - no snow during this season at all where I am, about 100 miles south thereof. The 1947 winter wasn’t all bad; I’m pretty sure that my parents got to know each other on account of problems caused by it, when they were kind of stranded on one of their commuter services on account of the weather. They were regular users of the North Tyneside loop, which was 3rd rail electric then.
As a kid in Brighton I remember the 1947 winter it was a bad one.
What a wonderful film, thank you, so well written and produced. I love this area and visit regularly from Chesterfield, as we have family in Mountsorrel. I have never come across an area in Britain that has so many lovely rural pubs as this part of Leicestershire has. Quorn is a lovely village. ❤
I'm so thrilled to have come across this channel.. The films are fantastically produced and are an absolute tonic to watch.. This one I shall watch every Christmas.. Thank you xx
Love these old nostalgia videos.
Excellent video, love the production 😊
The Great Central really is the best.
The combination of a Quorn transport film, and the voice overs of the old folk, WONDERFULL!
More please.
A very evocative film of past times - very enjoyable. Well done to all involved 👏
I like the added howling wind sound effects.
Just a great job!... once again. a "10" :)
I thought this was trainspotting nostalgia for Vegetarians ?
Those were real christmases not like today it’s got to commercialised which is so sad you also got carol singers coming around it was about family time not how expensive or who’s bought the most
I am a child of the fifties and this film brings tears to my eyes! The choir singing, the DMU departing and the paper chains all bring the past flooding into memory fresh and exciting as Christmas was in those now far off days. My home was in Eaglescliffe, my bedroom window directly overlooked the 4 track main line. I spent many happy hours watching trains instead of sleeping, listening to the chatter of the crew when halted at a signal, the blaze of the fire when the firebox doors opened and much more!
Stupid I know, but I can smell that Christmas tree! I long to go back to those days when my Father would read a Christmas story before bed with only the tree lights on and a coal fire for warmth.
Well done to everyone involved in making this video, you had me fooled for a few minutes!
I was too ..better happier days
Absolutely enthralling! 👏👏👏
Ah....the line that should never have gone...great little video!
Very well done, congratulations.
How do we went from suit and tie to nylon suits for railway workers?!
Very entertaining to watch, hope you plan to make more films like these.
Very good well filmed 👍
I’m a Yank, but to my understanding, the worst, longest, coldest and snowiest U.K winters were 1962/3 and 1949.
Is this video depicting 1962/3?
You’re all nuts 😁. Keep up the good work!
9:13 Anyone not mad ….is boring.
Wonderful!
Delightful.
Amazing.
02:57 я из России, и у меня в детстве ( когда был СССР) на Новый год мы делали такие же цепи, из цветной бумаги (иногда просто сами раскрашивали красками белые листки, не было готовой цветной бумаги).
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Chap with the mobile phone and Toyota Corolla gave it away
Wonderful.....
9.24 no light tail light, bit of a chance not having it light
Noticed that too. It was the signalman's job to watch each train as it went by so he could confirm that the train was complete. If the light didn't show I think he should have communicated with the box back along the line and left his home signal at danger until it was confirmed that nothing was uncoupled in the section and potentially blocking the line.
Also the dmu was using built in electric tail lights. At that time it would still have used an oil tail lamp as it was the ‘guard’s job’. Going over to built in tail lamps changed setting them over to being the driver’s job and that demarcation change didn’t happen until the late seventies at least.
Please release this on a dvd when you get more material for us to buy.
I don’t think anyone has a DVD player nowadays. (It’s all “streamed” nowadays), - but I agree about the great production, really good…
So forward looking to have the whole thing set up and ready for when the snowy weather came. I wonder how long they had to wait.
Pity that this route wasn’t used for HS2, well actually the London end is.
A little masterpiece.
I remember them well !
*I have an App on my phone that can add Rain/Hail and deep Snow - even in the depths of Deep Summer when 30 Degrees C!*
Looks great but the only thing wrong is the locomotives are to clean
Bit lacking
Wonderfull
I didn’t realise there was a village called Quorn! (Any connection with that and the name of the food?)🤔
Hello, yes the food product was named after Quorn village in 1985.
The days when you could travel on a train with the door wide open.
