S4C News article on W H Crawford films Cymraeg 22 September 2005
The article (in Cymraeg) describes my grandfather's amateur 16mm cine films. His name was W H Crawford (or Bill) and his films show the Llanarmon-yn-ial and Llanferres areas of Denbighshire in the 1950s.
You can now see much more, and in better quality, on BFI Player, if you search by place in free content for “Llanferres” and “Llanarmon-yn-ial”.
The S4C article here includes brief interviews with both the National Screen and Sound Archive in Aberystwyth (who now look after the film), and a Llanferres resident, the now late John James Parry.
I inaugurated a community project at the time, led by Denbighshire Council Countryside Services, to interpret these films to local people, at a time wh...

Return to Amlwch by train (1992)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
In June 1992, passenger trains briefly returned to Amlwch as part of a feasibility study into the re-opening of the line for steam trains. The 37 minute film starts with a silent cine film of Derby Lightweight DMUs on Bangor to Amlwch services in the early 1960s, just before closure to passengers. This film has appeared on the internet many times, but the following 1992 is not something I have ...

Wensleydale Lament - 'last' passenger train 2 January 1993
Просмотров 8385 лет назад
Despite the gloom of the day and some unfortunate camera work (and the wrong date printed onto the video!) this record of the end of the Northallerton to Redmire branch railway line was, happily, in vane, as the line later re-opened as The Wensleydale Railway - a heritage line. But on a foggy day in January 1993, no one knew this as a train of inter-city liveried Mk1 coaches topped by a pair of...

Edited 8mm analogue video showing trains at Newcastle including Class 56 coal, IC225, Pacer and Sprinter, but the main feature is a steam special trip around the Blyth and Tyne route to Bedlington and Morpeth and back. After this, we also see the special (one of a number of trips that day) pass Manors, before we take the (still relatively new) Metro back to Monument, and a Class 156 Sprinter DM...

A very windy garden!

Ex hurricane Ophelia, as experienced on the Isle of Anglesey on the afternoon of 16th October 2017. The main wind and rain passed over Ireland, but in nearby Wales we still had quite a bettering - although in my case no real damage was done except to hasten the autumn leaf fall. Some time lapse sequences illustrate that we had sun as well as rain during this. The wind continued into the night.

The Driver looks like he was nodding off at 01:12!! I hope not .I doubt AWS was fitted in those days .
My dad is in the Nick Ooyman
Bring it back 😢
Great footage! Couldn't see it thro due to choice of over the top music! "Crass"😮
You can always view it without sound. The real sound was a lot of wind noise so you are not missing much. With hindsight, I don’t like the music much myself. But remember that for copyright reasons my choice is bery limited.
I wonder if trains will ever run on that line again
Hi John Wendy from Llangoed (of the Christmas video fame) I'd love to do this caim walk for our next church walk in March but forget where it starts?? Thanks
The path is shown On the map image I attach here. Hoping this helps. Ask again if not. I might be interested in coming on the walk if it’s open to all. Please note the path goes to the cliff top and then stops. You cannot get down to the beach and need to retrace your steps again (unless of course there was a one off arrangement with a landowner).
Sorry I can’t work out how to attach a photo to a RUclips comment. Please see your Facebook messenger and I’ll try and put it there!
Like this if you would rather ride this than a pacer.
hi i lived in grange in the 60s and 70s there was no sea grass bk then the river kent changes its channel every now and then bk in the late 60s part of the prom far side of the pool was torn down in a hugh storm
The tide hasn’t been back in since 😂
I remembered travelling 🧭 🧳 in the2 and 3 car class 101 many previous years ago in the year 1992. I went on the train 🚊 that ran from Plymouth to Gunnislake via Bere Alston and Calstock in Devon, southwest of England 🏴 on Wednesday 1st July 1992 aged 16 years old. The train 🚆 ran past Chelfham Senior School 🏫 in Bere Alston, now called Quay View School 🏫. I have been on the class 101 and/or class 102 ran from Exeter to Barnstaple via Crediton and Eggesford. Class 101 and 102 has a toilet 🚽 🚻 and slam doors 🚪. 👍
Beautiful nature and amazing walk!
Wish they trains were still operating from glasgow, great memories having them!
Thank you, what a beautiful area. Hoping it doesn't get any worse there for you all. ♥️👍♥️
It is not pronounced "Yosemite" like "Vegemite". It is pronounced like "Yosemitee". But thank you for the video.
Thank you, I stand corrected. I found that out shortly after posting. (I'm not from America).
Thank you Brain Eno for writing a soundtrack for this video.
Does it ever flood over the train track
Thankfully no, as the railway embankment is much higher and also acts as a flood barrier.
Needs dealing with now
Very scary
Quality video mate
I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
I was there in the comadore pub on the front that day I’m from ulverston
🎼👎
Great info and to the point!
Amazing views, 👏👏
I remember this.Thanks.
00:36 - this is a great shot, if you missed it you missed it but you caught it really well. Great video friend!

Haha I love the bit at the end very very clever well done
Great tip! Mine got blurred after applying the size reduction filter. However, applying the black and white filter sorted it out reducing the file size by a factor of 3.
It gets worse and worse all over the world. Read the New Testament about what is happening. REPENT Read Matthew Jesus died for your sins and wants you to be saved and baptized.
I was born in Carmyle over 64 years ago and I can remember steam trains going into Glasgow on a line that's been taken away now
Excellent video
oh how lovely, home x
I am from outside Beaumaris and I honestly did not know there was so much to this. Brilliant and informative video, thank you.
brilliant, I love storms.
I moved to France nearly a decade ago to be with my other half. This is type of video that makes me home sick.Grey windy days, Brits being excited by a bit of a flood so the whole family comes to see it, a bag of chips on the way home...cup of tea when you get in..lovely.
Im here from the Beaumaris Friends facebook page and this is a fantastic video. Smashing thanks very much.
Thanks Mellia. Did you spot it’s just part 1 of 3 so there are also videos for parts 2 and 3 too?

Hello there, My name is Lily Gilboy. I'm writing to you from Blast! Films where we make Saving Lives at Sea. We've come across this footage of yours and were wondering if you'd be happy for us to potentially use it in an episode. If this sounds like something you'd be happy with, please do send an email to lgilboy @ blastfilms . co . uk with the title of this video. Apologies for all of the spaces in that email address, it's just so RUclips hopefully doesn't recognise this comment as spam. Kind Regards, Lily
cool
Great video, really captures the atmosphere, unlike my effort of train only coverage. Great to see my beloved MG Maestro parked up at Bedale, worth a fortune now if only I kept it :( . Really need to dig the cine footage out one day I took along side the video coverage...
Yes do dig out your cine. It is of historical interest now. Thank you for your kind words about my very wobbly tame video. I had to borrow the video camera and was very unfamiliar - hence the error arising during the day of a date (the wrong date too!) being printed on the image.
Ah, down The Glen? beautiful. To get my bearings, are you walking towards Lleiniog?
It is walking up Coed y Brenhin
@@john-of-the-north diolch!
It doesn't matter how smart we get or how technologically advanced we become, when Mother Nature decides to flex her muscles, we have to just sit back and learn our place again.
yeah all we can do is learn from things like this
Yes, I’m always amused when people give their boats haughty names like ‘wave dancer’ or something like that. Nature is powerful and has infinite patience. If we’re not careful, it wipes us out, effortlessly and uncaring. But, with all that raw power, it is always fascinating to be at sea.
Neat. Really enjoyed that.
