Presented in a non-linear style, covering the period from 1500 to 2022 AD, in this film I use 10 Unique Historical sites of NEWBURY, ENGLAND to tell the stories of different periods in the Town's past... Including Newbury's involvement in The English Civil War in the 1600s, World War 2 in 1940s, to The Cold War in the 1980s!
Even if you live in the Newbury it is likely that you walk past these locations every day without knowing their full back stories.
Ever wondered how we got mobile telephones? Or what was the purpose of the concrete buildings you find along the Kennet and Avon canal? Or what happened to you in the 1500s in this town if you read from an English not Latin version of the Bible?........
