Derby Carriage and Wagon Works bowls match 1967 (rare cine film footage) 1967

In this very old footage you can see Long Bridge in the background, this footbridge used to run over the railway tracks and it ran between Osmaston Road and Ascot Drive. This bridge was demolished around 2007.

This short film is one of several which I was kindly given by local Derby film maker Arthur Blood. Arthur captured many local events of the time, mostly relating to the Derby Carriage and Wagon Works where he worked.

Please feel free to link to this video from Facebook etc.

Please leave comments on the locations and events featured.

I would like to thank him for choosing me to showcase his collection on my Derby channel so that people can enjoy them.

Please note that although I have rendered this video at 1080p the original source footage is certainly not HD quality. It was originally shot on 8mm Cine Film, I have gone to great lengths to clean up the footage to reveal as much as possible from the source film.

Thanks
