- A brief look at the history of Stamford town in Lincolnshire. Presented by architectural historian Alec Clifton-Taylor. Episode 4 from series 1 broadcast originally on BBC2 25th August 1978.
I have digitally enhanced the program from its original 4:3 aspect ratio to the 16:9 HD widescreen format for your enjoyment.
This is one of the programmes on BBC television from several decades ago. It is marvelous that it has found its way to TH-cam. No other programme quite like it was ever produced. It is unique and every episode was a delight to view. Well done, Uploader of this episode.
Lived in Stamford for most of my life and I'm a Collyweston slater so this film absolutely resonates with me! Have worked on several of the roofs featured in this film!
Available as a BBC set of 4 DVDs. A complete joy, as ACT might say.
Would love to see the other episodes of this show ❣️
As a Rutlander at the time of the original screening I was very often in Stamford so this film shows it exactly as I knew it - thanks for uploading!
Nostalgia writ large Brian. Thank you,
Wow such beautiful
Threre were three series made, then Alec joined the choir invisible. Some time ago, the whole three series were uploaded here - then disappeared again - probably copyright issues. Nice to see some reappear again...
then modern architecture happened.
Never has such a high architectural water mark been reached since Edwardian times.
I visited in 2018, and it didn’t look that different.
It's not the 'brash, high-rise blocks' that are the problem, it's the detached houses in new developments.
