Recall Britain's Glorious Past in Newsreel, Words and Music. A window on the past, to the way things were before the modern age transformed our green and pleasant land forever. See DVD footage Below :
A Triple Pack DVD, CD and 24 page illustrated booklet.
Until sixty years ago the British countryside retained many of its ancient traditions, with small fields, working villages and local customs, most of which have been lost to mechanisation and science. Country life was tough and simple ... but rewarding, with the crops harvested by hand, the cows tended by milkmaids and even the Royal Mail delivered by one man and his pony!
This ‘Yesteryear Scrapbook’ opens a window on the past, to the way things were before the modern age transformed our green and pleasant land forever. A great gift idea for a 70th Birthday or 60th Birthday.
