Many thanks to Maverick Productions, and Ken Moss.

Just watched the dvd of the old cine films, and we've both laughed and cried.

I was just hoping they'd be transfered to a dvd for stability. However they've been edited chronologically, enhanced, and restored, and even put to fantastic, and fitting, sound track, from the fifties through to the seventies.

There's some interior film taken inside Martin's baker's shop, before it was refurbished by the Shopfitters in 1961, as it had been since the war, and which we'd never seen before.

Perhaps of interest to other Accy Webbers -

Distant shot of Neil and Romp's house, and MargaretR's parents' home, and where she grew up, and her first love Jack Groves, and his natty sports car, all filmed in 1963.

Hey's playing field, 1960, showing in the distant Gayle's parent's home, also the Stop and Rest, in 1959.

Accy Grammar School master, Winky Owen, and his wife Nell, parents of Dylan Owen, amongst others, walking in my uncle Joe Aspinall's procession, when he was Chairman of the old Ossy Urban Council in 1964.

We think, though my mum isn't quite sure, Graham Jones's grandmother and grandfather, filmed at Laund in 1963, when they were friends and next door neighbours to my grandparents.

Some good street scenes of New Lane, Chapel St., Moor End, Stanhill Lane, Hornby St, and Union Road around the Town Hall, mainly early sixties.

I hope you don't mind me saying you did this for us Ken. You've done an absolutely fabuolus job, and we couldn't be more thrilled.

Thank you Ken, and thanks for the chat, and cheering me up, on what had until earlier been a bad day.
