DVD Launch
The Merrydale Magic DVD was launched at the second Community Day on Saturday 28th June.
Again we were amazed by the number of people who came along, more than 70, including families and older folk. We showed the DVD which includes original 1950s film of Merrydale, shot by Lucy Fairbank. We are very grateful to Ian Baxter, custodian of the Lucy Fairbank films, for permission to use this footage. Also featured are children out and about in Merrydale enjoying the flowers, the stream and the freedom to run about; children talking about their artwork and older folk talking about how they enjoyed Merrydale in their childhood.
You can see clips from the DVD on the website.
