I haven’t seen this one before, but true craftsmanship at its best.

Reed lasts about 60 years, much longer than straw. Apparently, Jack Hargreaves never used any notes or script, he just 'winged it.' The sign of a natural presenter.

How true Simon Jack was a natural presenter

Short but beautifully narrated and shot, so much information conveyed in just a few minutes. Was this taken from an Out if Town programme i wonder?

As children we thought we'd grow up in a world just like that, how wrong we were.

Very interesting film but is it available in full on you tube would like to know please

[@RUfrikkinkiddinME]

I haven't been able to find it. Most of Hargreaves is lost to the ages I think.

I wonder if that house still there?
