Blagdon, Filmed in 1985.

Made in 1985 and remastered in 2024, this film recorded several of the wonderful people of Blagdon - Somerset, many of whom had memories stretching back to the early 1900s.
Hedley Goodall an actor of stage and screen and resident of Blagdon gave his time and energy freely to the project, and as narrator and interviewer added enormously to the look and feel of the whole film. www.imdb.com/name/nm1081313/
At 1 hour 52 minutes long the film is unashamedly long, but these memories deserve to be left as unedited as possible. You can use the chapter sections to jump to the individual contributors as you wish.
