1977 Jubilee Silent Film Discovery for
Harberton Parish
A super-8 reel of film capturing Harberton and Harbertonford Silver Jubilee
celebrations of 1977 was found within the depths of the Parish Clerk's archive.
Now digitised, the 17 minute film has been uploaded to YouTube for open viewing
and the Parish Clerk hopes to arrange some public screenings for those who
aren't able to access the footage online. Who broke the window during the
cricket match? Who was the little boy who wasn't overly impressed at being
dressed up? Who was the lady in the Union Jack knickers? Follow this link to
watching the footage
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaZiN8Un3zA.
There were no notes found with the reel, so if anyone has any information about
who might have shot the film or indeed recognise anyone that appears, please let
the Parish Clerk know by emailing
clerk@harbertonparishcouncil.org or alternatively via YouTube comments.
Happy viewing!

For those interested in historical mapping and imagery, see the 'Know Your
Place' website
www.kypwest.org.uk and specifically the Devon section thereof (the link
goes to
https://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=devon) where you can use the
Search icon at top left of the window to enter a postcode for example and
choose from the 'Basemaps' which two you would like to view in a split-screen
comparison. (Zoom in/out with your mouse wheel.)
On a personal note I've found the 1880 First Series OS, the 1840 Tithe Map and
the 1946 Aerial Imagery of particular interest.
