The Len Walker Collection - Stalag Luft III
The collection of photos were acquired by Len Walker and loaned to my father for copying. Len was a prisoner of war initially at Stalag Luft 1 and later at Stalag Luft 3. The film showcases his photos which have been colourised and describes part of his story as a Wireless Operator of a Hampden L4146 (QR-Q) which was lost on combat operations of 23/24 May, 1940. Some of the photos were widely copied by and acquired by the prisoners but some of them are unique to this collection. Hope you find this story interesting and please don't hesitate to add any factual information. I would be interested to find Len's Son David Walker who will have more information I'm sure.

Before the final closure of the Bradley Mill on Cross Lane (John Holmes Ltd.) my dad, Ken Ellwood 'videoed' the weaving mill in operation. I think this was in its last weeks before it finally closed in August, 1994. Featured is Derek Watkinson, a good family friend from when my parents lived on Heath Crescent, Low Bradley between 1955 and 1962. Also, Graham Williamson seen with Derek at the sta...

The lighting conditions were not favourable to shooting 16mm Cinefilm but its is believed to be the only known footage of this engine working. Please comment if you have any further information. Thank You
Mum and Dad's wedding, August 15th,1953
Просмотров 5525 месяцев назад
A film showing my parents wedding at Holy Trinity Church, Skipton in 1953. Unfortunately, my Dad's pal had the focus set for close up thinking it was on 'infinity'. The result was their wedding was filmed completely out of focus. I think my parents could only bring themselves to watch the film once! However, with the wedding photos I have included in the edit, the sounds and music, the overall ...

A short film featuring Burrell 3918 which Ken owned from 1966 to 1984. The engine needed work before it could be rallied and the first clip was an early outing to the Craven Heifer pub off Grassington Road, Skipton. I was on the back and was just 3 years old. Another clip shows the engine heading down Skipton High Street with John Crowther at the wheel. Both these early clips show the engine wi...

16th December was always my Dad's birthday - well at east since 1923 when he was born at Rosebank Road in the Kirkstall area of Leeds, now demolished. He spent the first 12 years of his life being brought up by his Grandparents at a small hamlet called Waterside near Waverton, in Cumbria. Today would have been his 100th birthday, so I thought I would share with you some of the massif family arc...

    I remember this line being featured in Railway magazine's end of steam commemorative issue. It's nice to think that the track bed and the line is still in use and should it ever cease to be needed by the quarry there's a good chance that it could be taken over by the Empsay line and we could see steam on it once again.

      Sounds are from an old 45 of locomotive sounds. Not intended to be accurate. You have the choice of muting the sound as it is a 16mm silent film as captured by my father. More than happy for people with large sound library to spend a day or so adding sounds and to send me the final result free of charge of course! 😉

    Hi Enjoying your films immensely. Are you part of the crew as DOP? Your work is outstanding. (Perhaps videographer? Stills photographer? Or do you have access to the filming schedule when they are on location? Or do you get word from locals it’s on and go to the location to record?) You do a fantastic job. Lucky us. 🍀 Hoping you might have access atm since February 19 2024 I read they were commencing Series 5 filming. I’d love to be ‘lucky’ and visit in March while on a short holiday in the UK. How can I hear more of Kate’s beautiful music too please? Do you have instagram or Facebook to follow?

      Hi, not part of crew. Just enjoy the series, the Yorkshire Dales scenery which is fabulously captured. These are all locations I know well. I don't have filming schedule but know a local who let's me know when they are in Grassington. I suspect that they like to use different parts of the dales each series. Quite a few scenes where in North Yorkshire in the last series and fewer scenes in Grassington to lessen the disruption and keep the locals on board. My nieces music is on Spotify and she is studying film and TV music production. instagram.com/katieellwood_music?igsh=cGk3eTZ3MTd0MWlv My film clips are just with my phone but enjoy putting the clips together. The between scenes is sometimes more interesting than the 'action'! I'll let you know if I get wind of filming in Grassington for series 5. Thanks for your comment!

    One of the Standard 4s appears to have a double chimney. The only one I'm aware of with the small BR2A tender was 75029, which was bought by the artist David Shepherd straight out of BR service - it never saw a scrapyard. There were other double-chimney Standard 4s but they generally worked on the Southern Region and were paired with the larger capacity BR1B tenders.

  • @smhorse
    @smhorse 4 месяца назад

    The BR Standard 4 4-6-0 in the film will have either been 75019 or 75027, both of which were rostered to work the Grassington branch in the last two years of steam. 75027 is still with us, on the Bluebell Railway. The film also shows an Ivatt 4 2-6-0 working the branch, but I haven't been able to identify which one.
