The manager of the Regent Cinema found some v. early footage of Melton in his basement. But I think it was pre-WW2 - maybe the 1930s. He donated it to some organisation based in Nottingham that stores early video. I tried to put some of it on a DVD, but they wanted thousands of pounds. So it just sits there gathering dust. Which is a great pity. And not what the cinema owner intended :o(

If you can get some old and new photos, I'd be more than happy to help you create a video. Likewise with anyone else who'd be interested in doing one for their home town/village.

@dstirl I find it somewhat sad and heart warming at the same time. One day pictures of Melton TODAY will seem as distant as the ones from OUR past.
Can't hold onto it for ever but at least treasure it while it stands.

Melton looked so much cleaner and quieter then. No garish shop fronts, no lorries and cars thundering down the streets. I can't see us ever recapturing that pace of life. More's the pity!
