Right at the beginning there's a down freight about to run through Cole hauled by a 4F, but there's a load of horse boxes in it, and I'm wondering, does anyone know where they would have been going to ? Up to now I've only seen a single horse box (marked Calf Box) and that was at Binegar. Edited April 25, 2020 by Combe Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted April 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello Combe Martin Nice to see you writing! Hope all is well with you. This film was played as part of my Nice Cup of Tea with... series that I used to run weekly on the'old' MREmag (under Phil Parker). I have attached the notes that I sent with the film (with thanks again to Nick Stanbury, Peter Smith and John Lewis).

S&DJR Brian Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Amazing footage. Always good to see unseen material. Shame nothing on Wincanton but that’s being picky. So glad people took the time to document what was then an everyday occurrence. Cine film wasn’t cheap either . Have a few photos of Wincanton area my father took, some of which appeared in Alan Hammond’s books, which I will scan and post on this site when I have time. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a film on youtube called The s&d and how we filmed it that has a small section on Wincanton. Not much though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
