socrates Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The Yorkshire Film Archive recently obtained nine films from Newfield School, mostly from the 1960s, but including one from 1956 (?), one from 1970 and one from 1977. Does anyone remember these films - either being in them or being involved in making them? They feature school sports and trips out. One in particular, from 1968, features a fashion/needlwork show at the Grosvenor Hotel with clothes made by students from the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Unlike the others, which were made by the school featuring school activities, the 1956 film seems to be more of a personal film by a teacher. This is what our catalogue entry states: 'The film consists of a number of scenes both at home and on holiday capturing different aspects of leisure. Most of these include gardening at home, children playing on bicycles and pogo sticks, family picnics, faculty family bus trips, sailing in Norfolk on the Broads, an amusement park, and scenes of Brighton.' We haven't had this film transferred to another format, but anyone is welcome to visit the Archive and arrange to see any films.

Runningman Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Could I just add that Newfield took it's first pupils in 1958. As an ex pupil who started there in Sep '58 and left in July 1963, I don't remember the production of any film during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smary Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hubby says he started in 1958 and was one of the first pupils - he left in 1961. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
