A film made in 1977 by my late father Ken Ellwood. The film shows the procession gathering on Sackville street before setting off along Keighley Road. Some scenes filmed from the footplate of my Dad's Traction Engine with my Sister Deborah driving the engine which was named after her. Skipton Band are shown and one of the special guests that year was Miss Yorkshire television. Look out for faces of people you may recognise and please share with interested individuals and groups.

Somethings never change...raining on Gala day! Then you look at the shots at the top of Gargarve Rd and it looks strange without Rockwood.

I wonder who that lass was at 3:19, she was a babe. And some of those marching bands remind me a bit of the marching scenes in ulster, but without the aggro. And this is great stuff, so well filmed and the sound so well recorded too, and all done the hard way on good old celluloid, and this was 1977, before vhs and betamax arrived here in Britain and before home video cameras, and well before the internet and camera phones and suchlike.

Fascinating. Just comparing the shift in fashions from your 1953 video. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Gala (do you say Gay- ler or Gah-la?) these days seems a much more low-key affair. Do you have any footage from the Sixties at all? If there's a truck full of Greatwood Primary School kids from 1965 - 67 anywhere, I'm probably on it lol

Sorry, no gala footage from 60s. Skipton Gayler is correct. I believe a Settle community may be having some films digitised which may feature Skipton?

Excellent film Mr. Ellwood. A friend of your Dad, John Selby of Epworth, can remember Ken filming him steam thrashing at Harry Panty’s Farm at Haxey. Do you still have this film? Could it be seen? It would be really appreciated!

Hi Neil, yes we do! I will try to make this my next film to upload. I was there with my Sister and I think this is the one Dad recorded sound on a reel to reel tape. I will try to put the original sound on and upload before Christmas! Great to hear that John Selby remembers this. How old will he be now? Thanks for getting in touch! Peter

Hello Peter, that would be fantastic. John is 73 now, and still has engines. Mr Pantry’s grandsons have recently bought a pair of ploughing engine s, but were born after their grandad died, so they too would very much like to see the film. You’ll make their Christmas, Regards, Neil.

@neilsmith8859 4 года назад

Hello Peter, any update on the film of the thrashing at Pantry’s? With thanks, Neil.

@PeterEllwood 4 года назад

Hi Neil, I uploaded it in December. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AqL4q-rcEHs.html

Also, I know James Selby has seen the film (son of John I believe). Comments made on Facebook group 'Threshing and Threshing Machinery'. If you subscribe to the channel, you should get notifications when new content is added. I've still quite a few Steam Threshing films to upload. Regards, Peter
