a short film about the mill
some stills...
opening titles
Black Hill and the Holme Moss television mast
Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
the man on the street
some of the steam Johnson's are wont to use in their finishing
and a pillar box, from the reign of King George
What a Georgian post-box has to do with Bankfield Mill you'll just have to wait and find out.

*Love* the opening title card. Gorgeous. I can almost hear the gravelly voice-over...
"In a town that time forgot... in a land of pie and peas... one man, one mill, and one pillar box..."
Not sure where it goes from there, though.

oh yes, and all accompanied by the Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band playing Elgar's Nimrod - grand.
