Overview
A wonderful home movie record, shot throughout the 1960s, of the family life of the Taberhams from Norfolk. The film captures the joy of those intimate occasions that families share, including gift-giving at Christmastime, idling in the garden, excursions, and a family wedding. The footage forms part of Mr Taberham's collection of 8mm home movies. Mr Taberham was a keen member of the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers and called his films ‘Crystal Ball Productions’.
