Does the original cine film still exist? It should be possible now to do a better film to video conversion. It's a lovely record of a historical period I lived through, and I would love to see it in better clarity.

I agree, it would be lovely to see it restored. I have no idea if the original exists. Stocksbridge History Society might know. It was originally shot by Vixen films, which I think was the film club associated with Samuel Fox & Co., steelworks.

@@clairepearson7270 I was a teenager in Stocksbridge during that period, and now you've reminded me, remember Vixen Films. I can identify quite a few of the people in the various clips, and was probably at some of the various community events portrayed, so I find the films very interesting. Thank you.
