Burnley Film Makers are a group of film makers based in the North West. Our club has been in existence since 1931 when Burnley Cine Society was formed and has continued down the years. Our members make films on all manner of things. We host an annual festival, awards and we hold competitions. Our website is www.burnleyfilmmakers.org
I caught a glimpse of my dad at the cine club meeting, checking out the food (naturally😂) I'll clip it and send it to my mum if that's ok. Dad died in 2007. RIP Bryan.
Great video . However for those that reconigised recently the plandemic was all about control and only benefited those corrupt wef politicians with their stocks n shares in big pharma will realise foot n mouth was born out of similar lies and corruption. Like covid , it was amazing how foot n mouth was here one day and gone tmoz. Fact is it was all about control and millions benefited from it. Much history within the town as been destroyed by local councils who have a remarkable ineptitude towards the position they hold and businesses since the plandemic lockdowns like local pubs have gone down the drain just like the padiham floods of 2001 . When people see our recent history its declining unfortunately and all by design. Townley hall and GAWTHORPE ground are a shadow of what they were and town centre will slowly die to just like the market. People need to wake up and realise the system is broken. People have the power in every town...let's start using it.
This brings back memories, especially mayor making at the town hall and the opening of Bourne. My mother was Vera Selby and Eric Selby my step father. Sadly no longer with us.
Had a school swimming lesson on the Friday before it shut, I remember they gave us an extra five mins in the pool. Trying to find the exact day it shut, if it was that Friday then seven year old me was one of the last people to use the pool. It was a nice place, St Peters wasn't some massive upgrade over it. Really wasn't a fan of the communal changing room though...
Great video, remember playing 5 a side their after work in the mid 90s. Sadly by then it did need some modernisation, still such a loss. Ironic it went back to being a carpark!!!
lol @ Burnley planners...replace a car park with a Sports Centre (Thompsons Recreation Centre), then knock it down to put it back to a car park but ALSO knock a multi-storey car park down and replace it with...............................a Sports Centre. No wonder our Council Tax is so high...
For a second with the narrators accent, I thought we were going on a trip tut Yorkshire Dales. I grew up in Cornwall and in the seventies Cornish accents abounded. Then, in the eighties when property prices were low compared to elsewhere in the country, folk would abandon their Brummie estates in favour of a slice of paradise. The older Cornish generation died out and the younger locals couldn’t afford to live there, sadly having to move into the Brummie estates. Nowadays, hearing a Cornish accent is like finding a unicorn horn…..virtually impossible. Identity is being lost in favour of second homes and celebrity chefs restaurants. Someone mentioned in the comments how good it would be to have a Time Machine. I couldn’t agree more.
That seems to me to be a particularly nice sounding organ. Maybe it's the acoustics of the building or the excellent recording. I love Saltaire but never knew about the move from Brighouse. Will definitely try to organise a visit
My dad like to caption the photos he took - He captioned a photo of himself emerging from the sea at St Ives "You too could have a body like mine !" :D
I didn't think this would be posted so quickly! I've been watching the Newsreels over a few months even years now and was looking forward to the new one! Thanks for all the work and documenting, not just history but the people who make it.
Great film. I visited St Ives and the West Country for the first time when I was 21 years old. I, and my mate were camping. It was red hot and the shower water was being rationed because of the drought the weather caused. Fantastic memories.
@@burnleyfilmmakers1582 Raquel Welsh who sadly died this year aged 83 i bet you were in the front row lol one million and one bc too what a beautiful woman
Apparently Merlin liked to sit atop and have "visions". Of course the founder of the quakers did likewise some 12 centuries later. Plenty of magic mushrooms especially around Barley in the autumn. But obviously Pendle's magic has been a thing for millennia
That is truly amazing, what a stunning space. Well done to all who are involved in the restoration of this wonderful building. Thanks for posting this.
you just missed the Great Colne Blue Festival that took place over the weekend. Many thanks for subscribing. Have a look also at Howards Greenwoods YT Channel if you are interested in Nelson and Colne - Howard was a member of Pendle Movie Makers until it closed last year.
Brilliant video. This centre should never have been demolished. It was a jewel in the crown for Burnley and losing it was the beginning of a downhill slide.
A very well-made presentation, promoting Saltaire, Yorkshire and the story of the Saltaire Wurlitzer, filmed by Mike Breeze and narrated by Carl Stredder from Burnley Film Makers. I wish we had a video like this for each cinema theatre organ venue in the UK. Well done to all involved.
