This short film captures a glimpse of village life in Woodford Halse during the 1960s, focusing on a traditional May Day celebration and surrounding scenes. Originally recorded on Super 8 film, the footage was rediscovered in 2020 and thoughtfully digitised and edited for sharing by a long-time local resident with strong family ties to the area.
While much of the original material remains private, this carefully curated excerpt has been shared with the community as a nostalgic look back at a special time and place. It offers a personal but respectful view of local life, fields, and festivities from over half a century ago.
The contributor welcomes thoughtful engagement about the film and its context. Any inquiries can be submitted through the website and will be forwarded directly for consideration.
