We’ve been approached by a TV production company who are looking to obtain home videos that show people working or enjoying the canal. Their exact request is shown below. If you can help, then do let us know and we’ll forward your details on.
Thanks in advance for your help.
“I am researching a documentary for BBC4 – “The Story of the Canals”. The programme will use home movies of people who worked and enjoyed the canals with their recollections and memories, to tell the story of how the canals were used to move goods around the country, and were then re-invented in more recent times as a vehicle for leisure. I am looking for any home movies made by people who have earned their living from canals, for example boat people, lock keepers, etc. etc. and film made by people who have used the canals for leisure. It would be a great bonus if the film makers or people appearing in the films could be interviewed for the documentary. Can you be of any help? Do you know of any members of your society who have filmed their experiences? I would be most grateful for any help you could offer”
