These DVD’s have been copied from 16mm film which was in very bad condition.
If it had not been for modern technology it would have been lost for ever!
The 1939 film was silent but during restoration music was added to enhance the images.
The 1956 film was shot in Eastman colour but this deteriorated over the years, new
titles have been added but the commentary is the original.
The work was carried out by the Lowestoft Cine & Camcorder Club.
John & Ron Rushmere were responsible for the major overhaul of the films and only
removed the badly affected parts of the original, and kindly gave to us to use,
because it shows how Lowestoft use to be and has clips of North Denes Park and Sparrows
Nest.
