Fred James Collection: Here And There (Reel 2), Torquay, Brixham and Essex

Some tree pruning and a seaworthy replica of the Mayflower feature in this eclectic home movie filmed by Woodford Wells resident Fred James.

The second reel of Here And There (also in the Fred James Collection), this film by Essex resident and dedicated home movie-maker Fred James starts with shots of tree pruning outside his home in Woodford Wells. Next we visit Torquay – including extended coverage of a rugby match – and Brixham, where we see excellent footage of a seaworthy model of the Mayflower under construction. Also contains film of High Laver church, near Harlow and a nice sign post to Bishop’s Stortford.
