Dartmouth 1945 – ‘Local Memories of a troubled time’
Filmed and Directed by Ian Phillips
With grateful thanks to Dartmouth Museum, who provided all the photos & archive film footage.
This incredible film gives a fascinating insight into the contrasts between life in Dartmouth before and after the war. Ian Phillips interviews local residents who remember the changes in industry, shopping, employment, education, leisure, etc. It also looks at the impact of the part that Dartmouth played in the preparation for the D-Day landings, with ‘all roads into the town full of American soldiers’. There are some wonderful photos and film clips, together with all sorts of interesting, often humorous anecdotes from: Dulcie Pook, John Distin, Jenny Dunn, Terry Dunn, John Bowden, Wally Fleet
