        Overview

        A young Howard C Jones moved from the green fields of home - the ‘clods’ of Llangernyw, Conwy - to the cobbled streets of London to pursue a course in cinematography at the London Polytechnic [now the University of Westminster], tutored and inspired by Ernest Lindgren, first curator of the British Film Insitute's National Film Library/Archive. Howard went on to work in the film industry and, later, to teach photography.
