Hexham Remembered 1978

Some very worn 8mm film footage of Hexham, Northumberland made in 1978

I went to the Grammar School between 1973 -1980, to be honest apart from Wentworth Car Park and the Hospital replacing the Cattle Mart Hexham looks pretty much the same these days.

I was browsing looking for this footage - Hexham Boat Club 1966 J HOPPER MP4 file c8669 1 01 - when I found Hexham Remembered and in the first scene there is my Midnight Blue 1948 Triumph Roadster parked in Priestpopple! Amazing! Is this the Ken Sim who was in the same year as me at QEGS? - Roger Bean

Hi Roger, glad you liked it and so pleased you saw your car. Not the same Ken Sim I'm afraid. I'm a little younger and attended the QE High School about 10 years later.

I made this the opening footage of this short film from a scaffold whilst re-roofing the Royal Hotel for Matthew Charlton & Sons.
