by
Michael Burton
Brent Scholes has been working on a large collection of 16mm colour films made
largely in the 1980’s in and around Dereham by Michael.
They show many of the people working in town, on the market, and local shops
that are now closed. Some also show farms and wildlife around the district.
The films are now digitized ready to show so that you might be able to spot a
relative or realise what has changed in the time. It makes fascinating viewing
even if you are new to the area.
The show is at;
