VetChugger Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 May well have been seen before but shamelessy pilfered from "over there" and is well worth another watch! https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-countryside-club-presents-the-norfolk-broads-1952-online?fbclid=IwAR0_oVHyIKXcxhGJhAIOCtiWIdX-vvH3LFgiK1QCtNjwT6hGAVFSPoRuDY0 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So the 1950's is ancient, so where does that leave those of us born prior to that date? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webntweb Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The boat seen a couple of times appears to be B882 Brookwind, ex Graham Bunn but owned by George Smith at the time of the film. According to Craig's database it was still around in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Also a nice bit of footage of one of the larger Woods boats. Was it me (my computer) or was there no sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdnamsGirl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 What a wonderful bit of colour film - thanks for sharing it. I especially loved seeing the footage of the various Roy's branches in Hoveton. Ive still got three large reels of colour 16mm film from the 50s/60s to get transferred and online when I can find someone to digitize it. Sadly, the chap who has been digitizing film for me is unable to do 16mm now. I've got three more 8mm films from the 60s on my PC waiting to be edited though, and hope to make a start on those soon. For anyone who may not have found it, there are lots of old films of the Broads from the 1930s to the 1990s on the Broadland Memories YouTube channel to keep you amused during lockdown. https://www.youtube.com/user/BroadlandMemories Carol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
