Lincolnshire: A century on Film by Alan Stennett. Volume One of this exciting new series, written and narrated by Alan Stennett, covers the century's early years, with film dating back as early as 1901. Grimsby trawlermen bringing home their catch, hats and dresses to die for ? 1904 style, vintage motor cars and horse-drawn traffic in Lincoln; quarrymen working entirely by hand, but proud of their new steam-driven lorry; industry that led the world with products designed and built in Lincolnshire, like the first caterpillar tracked vehicles and pioneering packaging machinery. There are Royal visits, coronation and Empire Day celebrations; Great War recruitment and early aviation, Isaac Newton's bicentenary, early Lincolnshire Shows, all the fun of the fair and seaside holidays; a children's party in the 1920s and bathing the baby in a small tin tub.
A wonderful present idea for Granny or Grandpa this birthday or Christmas.
