Hamble Village and its River – Download
£10.95
In stock
Rare and fascinating films of the village of Hamble and its river from the 1920s through to
the 1970s. We look at all aspects of village life through family films captured by Pip Bartlett
and Clive Denton with memories from Ian Underdown, Gill Beavis and Peggy Dorothy.
Our films include carnival time in the village when processions began in the top
playing fields and made their way down to the High Street and quay by the river. In
the 1960s and 1970s, regatta was held at the same time with lots of events
on the river.
We see archive films of early aviation at Hamble’s airfield from 1925 and up until the days of training
recruits for air lines. Trials of the girocopter and the largest airliner in
Britain to date, the Avro Ensign in 1938. The arrival of A V Roe brought
much activity at Hamble in the development of aircraft and sea planes.
We view the church of St Andrews in harvest celebration and many
scenes of the river with the launching of sailing dinghies off the quay.
A special series of films of the Training Ship Mercury which was much a part
of Hamble up until 1968. Boat building at Fairey Marine at Hamble Point and a
trip around the streets of the village and much more. A really nostalgic series of films of this famous yachting village in southern Hampshire.

Hampshire and Dorset
A nostalgic journey by train from London’s Waterloo station down to the counties of Hampshire and Dorset.
We begin our journey at the London & South Western Railway’s terminus station at Waterloo which was completely rebuilt following the First World War and opened in 1922 by HM Queen Mary. Its many platforms and bustling atmosphere is seen in the mid 1960s at a time when steam haulage to the south coast was nearing an end.
Soon after our departure, we get glimpses of the depot at Nine Elms and scenes from the trackside of Bulleid pacifics at work and at speed through Clapham and on to the county of Hampshire. We stop at Winchester and Eastleigh where we view the main line trains and some local services added to a visit around the motive power depot and view older Southern classes at the end of their service periods and visitors from the LNER in the form of Flying Scotsman, the Great Marquess and Blue Peter.
After Northam and Southampton Terminus is seen, we stop at Southampton Central for an indepth survey of steam services in 1966 and 1967. We progress through the New Forest to Brockenhurst and a stopover to take a journey down to Lymington with various engines including Standard tanks and Ivatt 2-6-2Ts.
Our onward journey takes us to Bournemouth and the magnificent station buildings and locomotive depot where we see many engines on shed.
Finally, we spend time at Wareham and a trip through Purbeck down to Swanage before we reach the end of the South Western Main Line at Weymouth and its depot full of locomotives either in service or waiting to depart for scrapyards in South Wales.
