A fresh,
entertaining and fascinating look back at life in Torbay from the
1800s to the 1950s.
This remarkable
period in Torbay’s history is brought to life with cine-film, old
photographs, historic sketches and stories from the archives of the
Western Morning News and the Herald Express.
News stories from
the past provide a unique commentary on important local events as
they actually happened, and a rare insight into the everyday lives
of local people in times gone by.
The wonderful
collection of old film and pictures show the remarkable changes that
have taken place over the last 200 years.
The DVD also
contains a special feature on the Second World War when Torbay
provided a haven for London evacuees, German bombers brought death
and destruction, and the area played a crucial part in the D Day
landings.
The running time
is approximately 50 minutes. Narrated by Howard Ellison.
