A colourful introduction to the wonderful world of our inland waterways with dramatic engineering, unusual architecture, interesting landscapes, historic boats and lots of unusual and quirky features. This talk will be given by Roger Butler, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society.
This talk looks at the story of Shepperton Studios from its foundation in the early days of 'talkies' to its current role as the major production hub for Netflix in the UK. Along the way are the ups and downs of the British Film Industry, and a surprising role in World War Two. The talk will be given by Nick Pollard, Curator of Spelthorne Museum in Staines.
