Harvesting Time in the Tamar Valley

A short video containing oral histories from market gardening families in the Tamar Valley in East Cornwall, historic images and recollections of market gardening in the early and mid twentieth century. The film also contains a short piece on mining the Valley, focusing on the emigration of miners around the world.
The film was made as part of the 'Harvesting Time' project, organised by the Tamar Valley AONB. 'Harvesting Time' was a sub-project of 'Cordiale', a partnership project between the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, other AONBs in the South West and equivalent protected landscapes in Normandy and Brittany. Cordiale was selected under the European Cross-border Cooperation Programme INTERREG IV A France (Channel) -- England, co-funded by the ERDF.
