In 1939 Kent farmer Frederick Hynard recorded a year in the life of his farm on cine film. The remarkable results were edited and broadcast by Anglia Television as part of its Bygones series. In ‘Acres of Change’ this original footage is contrasted with the same farming operations filmed sixty years later.
Farmers Harold and Oliver Cooper talk about the changes they have witnessed in a video that shows the agricultural transformation (for good or bad) since the Second World War. The programme is narrated by Eddie Anderson and presented by George Macpherson, following technical advice and additional scripting by Brian Bell.
