"The Winter's Snow" is a short amateur film that takes the viewer on a journey back in time to explore Winters long gone. This is the trailer to an up and coming short film in which we hear tales from Leicestershire residents and railway employees about their experiences of winters before the days of central heating with our own Quorn & Woodhouse station providing the visuals.
The snow scenes were hastily taken one snowy afternoon at Quorn in November 2021 and some internal scenes were filmed at Aston Hall in Birmingham, masquerading as Swithland Hall.
The archive audio has is by courtesy of the East Midlands Aural History Archive and the full catalogue of recordings used in this film can be listened to in full here: cdm16445.conte...
On behalf of everyone at Quorn & Woodhouse station, we hope you enjoy this film and wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

The tears ran down my cheeks, the carols so reminded me of family Christmas, now I am the only one left.

@steves5172 Год назад

I felt the same when I watched! Although Christmas was simpler years ago it was, I think, more enjoyable without modern tech, tv and the like. Similar to yourself I too am the only one left.

@bernieoconnell5515 Год назад

Ah John I feel for you. My mercies of Christmas past are the same. When faith meant something and Christmas was a time for honouring the birth of Christ. Look what it has become now. Your memories are precious so be glad you lived in a different time with your loved ones as I am. Xx

@@bernieoconnell5515 Thank you for your comment. I certainly do not feel that this country has made progress, we know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Best wishes to you and yours.

Me too ever since Christmas 2022. The carols reminded me of listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols on Radio 4 each Christmas Eve. Those days have passed and I’m not sure what’s left.

You got me !! I thought I was watching a BTF Film of 1950 you have captured the 50s when I was born (1954) so well...

@user-jb6hn1db8x Год назад

No….. It’s actually done better than BTF!

@zen4men 2 года назад

When people spoke with gentle voices that do not attack one's ears as so many modern accents do. ...... A joy to listen to, not an ordeal.

@Demun1649 Год назад

I feel exactly the same, but, about all the Anglo-Saxon mongrels who cannot speak a decent, civilised Celtic language. Maybe, if you don't like it here, you could move back to where your illegal immigrants came from between 420 and 600 AD, back to Germany and Jutland.

@greenfingersgardener822 Год назад

1962/3 was a very bad winter, people would say, it's a ice-age coming. Gawd it went on for months. Started in December ended somewhere around March I think.

@Phaaschh 2 года назад

Beautifully done- it took me a while to realise that this wasn't a BTF production. Well done to everyone involved for producing a little piece of magic.

It feels so lovey to try and visit the past I am sure the times were better in lots of basic ways

@johnspencer9385 2 года назад

Just for a moment I thought I'd gone back in time Excellent Movie full of character It's nice to dream of the past sometimes 👍

@miketickner6108 2 года назад

A really clever and well made film. The makers must have really deep knowledge of the documentary films of that period.

@steves5172 Год назад

I am a child of the fifties and this film brings tears to my eyes! The choir singing, the DMU departing and the paper chains all bring the past flooding into memory fresh and exciting as Christmas was in those now far off days. My home was in Eaglescliffe, my bedroom window directly overlooked the 4 track main line. I spent many happy hours watching trains instead of sleeping, listening to the chatter of the crew when halted at a signal, the blaze of the fire when the firebox doors opened and much more! Stupid I know, but I can smell that Christmas tree! I long to go back to those days when my Father would read a Christmas story before bed with only the tree lights on and a coal fire for warmth. Well done to everyone involved in making this video, you had me fooled for a few minutes!

Well done,very evocative.

@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 Год назад

The combination of a Quorn transport film, and the voice overs of the old folk, WONDERFULL! More please.

@williamlong7188 2 года назад

Awe you had me really fooled by your beautiful film I hadn’t noticed until my partner pointed out that the film had been made in modern times on a heritage line on black & white film and not transferred from old film and cleaned up . This film is an absolute gem , I absolutely loved it beautifully filmed, well made and very entertaining. RU-vid alerted it to me watching your video today and I am so happy I got to see it. I just wish I had seen them around Christmastime 2021 when I was looking for interesting railway heritage films. So thanks to the volunteers, directors producers, camera photography people for making this classic film. An absolute joy. Thank you 😊

Brilliantly made and loving recreation of BTFV

@kevinmothers904 2 года назад

The wonderful transport films of Edgar Anstey live on. Well done to all involved.

I like the added howling wind sound effects.

@dryflyman7121 Год назад

What a wonderful film, thank you, so well written and produced. I love this area and visit regularly from Chesterfield, as we have family in Mountsorrel. I have never come across an area in Britain that has so many lovely rural pubs as this part of Leicestershire has. Quorn is a lovely village. ❤

@jsa-z1722 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely enthralling! 👏👏👏

@rogerking7258 2 года назад

These have so obviously been made with love. And I think they may prove to be a commercial triumph in that they attract people to the railway. As a pro photographer, I reckon they could do with the contrast turning down a little if they are to look sixty years old or so. Other than that - perfect!

The Great Central really is the best.

I went on a rail fans tour of Birmingham engine sheds a day or so after the 1963 big snow the black five pulling the train to Rugby where we changed trains had a snow plough on the front

@johnkeepin7527 2 года назад

Well done. This came to light on 10/2/2022, and it’s been a pretty mild winter overall - no snow during this season at all where I am, about 100 miles south thereof. The 1947 winter wasn’t all bad; I’m pretty sure that my parents got to know each other on account of problems caused by it, when they were kind of stranded on one of their commuter services on account of the weather. They were regular users of the North Tyneside loop, which was 3rd rail electric then.

@mikepeirson1150 Год назад

As a kid in Brighton I remember the 1947 winter it was a bad one.

02:57 я из России, и у меня в детстве ( когда был СССР) на Новый год мы делали такие же цепи, из цветной бумаги (иногда просто сами раскрашивали красками белые листки, не было готовой цветной бумаги).

@user-jb6hn1db8x Год назад

So forward looking to have the whole thing set up and ready for when the snowy weather came. I wonder how long they had to wait.

@williamlong7188 2 года назад

Please release this on a dvd when you get more material for us to buy.

@philtucker1224 Год назад

I don’t think anyone has a DVD player nowadays. (It’s all “streamed” nowadays), - but I agree about the great production, really good…

@weeraanmelden Год назад

How do we went from suit and tie to nylon suits for railway workers?!

@Ira88881 Год назад

I’m a Yank, but to my understanding, the worst, longest, coldest and snowiest U.K winters were 1962/3 and 1949. Is this video depicting 1962/3?

@island29 2 года назад

9.24 no light tail light, bit of a chance not having it light

@davidbennetts616 2 года назад

Noticed that too. It was the signalman's job to watch each train as it went by so he could confirm that the train was complete. If the light didn't show I think he should have communicated with the box back along the line and left his home signal at danger until it was confirmed that nothing was uncoupled in the section and potentially blocking the line.

@user-jb6hn1db8x 6 месяцев назад

Also the dmu was using built in electric tail lights. At that time it would still have used an oil tail lamp as it was the ‘guard’s job’. Going over to built in tail lamps changed setting them over to being the driver’s job and that demarcation change didn’t happen until the late seventies at least.

I didn’t realise there was a village called Quorn! (Any connection with that and the name of the food?)🤔

Hello, yes the food product was named after Quorn village in 1985.

@fayecox9401 Год назад

Those were real christmases not like today it’s got to commercialised which is so sad you also got carol singers coming around it was about family time not how expensive or who’s bought the most
