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.

For more information please see my blog:

Thanks
Andy

I enjoyed that ... and I recognised some of Derby. I'm sure I don't know it as well as you do Andy but I did see some parts I know. The trouble is I don't know the street names etc.

I recognised Ted Moult at the prize giving.

Is it okay to embed this in my blog ?

@cfw1950 I could watch this old local footage for ever.

I have listed all street names in my description.

Ted Moult ? what time code?

YES feel free to embed or link to the video.

[cfw1950]

@comedyhunter Ted Moult appears at 7.04 and then again at 7.52 ...

I will embed it in my Multiply blog ~ I should think one of my friends on there will be interested. Her name's Jackie and she was a pub landlady in Derby for many years. Thanks Andy.

@cfw1950 I bet that will be odd for Jackie seeing herself on film 52 years ago !
