Windsor Video

"Explores Windsor's history like never before."

Take the ultimate walk down memory lane as we visit the Windsor of yesteryear. This video, using photographs, paintings, drawings, archive and modern film footage, explores Windsor's history like never before. Included in this visual feast are recently unearthed photographs of the town during the turn of the century which beautifully capture the atmosphere during the Victorian era.
  The town of Windsor grew up below the walls of the Castle which William the Conqueror founded over 900 years ago. Whilst its fortunes have always been linked with those of the Monarchy, Windsor established early a separate identity as a busy little market town and Thames trading port. The town has had its ups and downs, but over the centuries has expanded steadily and today's Windsor is a lively centre of tourism and commerce.

Subjects covered in this video include:

The town's beginnings
Kings, queens and royal pageantry
The Windsor Martyrs
River and railways
Trade and commerce
Poverty and slums
Buildings old and new
Windsor's bridges
Bachelors' Acre
Windsor personalities
The 1947 Floods
The Castle Fire

Format: PAL (European standard).
Duration: 54 minutes
