PROGRAMME

 

 

LINCOLNSHIRE FILM ARCHIVE

A short film explaining the work of the Film Archive, and how old film is restored for showing.

 

329  GRIMSBY TRAWLERS

Grimsby, North Sea  Early 20th Century

Trawlers at sea, with scenes filmed on board as the catch is hauled in and sorted.  Later, the boats are shown returning to port.  One of them, the Pharos, registered in 1901, was lost in 1906.  Remarkable early footage by an intrepid photographer prepared to operate a hand-turned camera on the swaying deck of a trawler at sea.  The oldest known surviving film of Lincolnshire.

 

687  CONCRETE EVIDENCE

Springfield Scout Camp Site, Scartho  1952/3

At first, the general desire to ‘get as wet as possible’ means having boisterous water fights, but enough funds become available to buy the materials to build a swimming pool, provided the Scouts do all the work themselves.  The film follows every stage of the job from the surveying to the final triumphant opening in 1953.

 

594  FIVE KM OUT INTO THE HUMBER

Humber Estuary  c 1969

The Continental Oil Company (Conoco) lay an oil pipeline from the Killingholme refinery to the Tetney Mono Buoy, a terminal 5km out into the Humber estuary, where the water is deep enough for tankers to moor whilst their cargo is unloaded and pumped ashore.
