SPLENDID PEOPLE
David Whitworth (Huddersfield)
During World War II women had to start boating on rivers and canals since
the men were away, and this shows a group of them in Hawksferry, Derbyshire.
Luckily, a local photographer at the time, Robert Longdon, took many monochrome
stills which have been used in the film and gives a great feeling of the
period. The commentary by Geoff Parkin is exemplary .
