This is a 40 minute documentary film about the history of Fulwood in Preston, Lancashire, based on the book "A Step Back In Time" by Carole Knight. (Carnegie Press 1986, Scotforth Books 2009)
It was made in February and March 2013. I luckily chose a gloriously sunny February day to film the walk around the southern part of Fulwood which makes up the Fulwood history trail in Carole's book. As it is a film of a published 'walk' I decided to film 'as I walked'... no tripod shots, the camera walks with me and so there is often movement!! Please accept that as the style of this film.
The idea for the film came about when I was planning a 2 day geography/history workshop for primary school children looking at our local area, namely.... Fulwood. Carole's book sprang immediately to mind and it felt like the decision to make this film had already been made for me... I couldn't say no! It was finished in time for the children to be the first to see it in school.
The film has been made to be accessible to Preston schoolchildren in small chunks and to adults in one 40 minute sitting. The archive photos show how little many parts of Fulwood have changed over the years. This film has been a pleasure to make.
This is a non commercial project and is intended to be seen freely by community and educational audiences. Many thanks to Carole Knight and The Preston Digital Archive at www.flickr.com for allowing me to use archive photos for this project. Also thanks to staff at Fulwood Library and Lancashire Libraries for the use of archive maps.
I hope that you, like me, will no longer be able to travel round Fulwood without seeing the history of the place in your mind's eye.
If you start to do that then my film has served its purpose.
Apologies if then, like me, you can't ever stop seeing the past in modern day Fulwood!!

This got me very nostalgic. I was a student nurse between 1993-1996 and lived in at Sharoe Green Hospital (as I was not from Preston). The old work house had become part of the University and served as the faculty of health. I spent many an hour attending lectures in that beautiful building.
That's nice to know Erin. I was in the Ambulance Service between 1969 to 1999, so knew Sharoe Green Hospital very well. The old work house was the Civic Hostel (which cared for the elderly) before it became offices, so that was a regular port of call also.
@@erinxyes sorry to be a few months late with this reply. I’m happy my film brought back some memories.
A beautiful part of the world!.. thanks for a wonderful trip back down memory lane, I have very fond memories of Preston and Fulwood from my posting to the barracks.
@@taffbats thank you for your kind comment. I’m happy to have taken you down memory lane!
@@taffbats thank you for your kind comment. I’m happy to have taken you on a trip down memory lane!
Just found this as I was looking for old photos of Sharoe Green. Excellent work.
Brilliant video I never knew there was so much history. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
This is brilliant. Well done and thank you.
Thank you David. Please share to others!
My late father lived in The Harris Orphanage. It was not always a nice place, but I guess better than that work house!
Brilliant, thank you
Brilliant loved this content hats off to you.
Thank you very much. There never was a part two because part two of the book was about the unique houses and people who lived in them in the higher and lower bank roads area. This was the first housing development outside of preston town boundary. It wasn’t right or proper or polite to be filming peoples houses today to tell a historical story. So I didn’t make part two.
This is an absolutely fantastic and well-presented video that I've watched several times now. You've got a talent for making local history really interesting. Have you considered doing anything further in this vein? For example, I'd love to hear more about the history of old Ashton. Your videos on Tulketh Hall are brilliant also. Keep them coming!
Sorry but I’m three months late with this reply! Thank you for your kind comments. I’ve been making films since about 2008. If you look at the playlists tab on my UA-cam channel films are grouped there into themes. I’ve also made films about my hometown of barrow in Furness.
how good is that!!!!! brilll
Thanks Darren. Glad you found it on UA-cam.
I would have loved to have watched this but there are no subtitle/ captions available so sadly I cannot watch/learn from this.
I was born in Sharah Green hospital (now poshed up to Sharoe green) but alas I don't remember much about it.
@@leowatkins3718 Thank you. I hope you found the history of interest.
@@leowatkins3718 I hope you learnt some history though from my film. Thank you…
Where is part 2 please?
I can't seem to find part 2 - please help
I'm sorry, there isn't one. It would have involved filming people's houses as part of the history trail and I realised that wasn't very polite and was rather intrusive.So I didn't make it...
i was born at Blackhurst farm, Sharoe green lane. 1967. if anyone has an pictures or where the farm was i would be grateful.
If you search online for The Preston Digital Archive you will find a huge collection of photos of old preston. It’s a collection on Flickr and you may be able to search and find photos there.
Is there a part 2 anywhere?
No there isn’t sorry.. Part two of the book was about looking at the individual history of houses in the earliest residential part of Fulwood. I realised that it wasn’t right or polite to be filming houses still lived in today and making them the subject of a film online.
@@theyellowfactory that's fair, fantastic documentary 👏
Have you heard of tunnels under Preston.
Hi. I haven't apart from The Miley Tunnel sorry. Although now I think of it, I think there are tunnels under the Ribble between the docks and where the old Penwortham power station used to stand. And maybe some others nearby as well...
@@theyellowfactoryi think their are tunnels that lead from the courts when they were taking people to the gallows x
well fucking done!
Where the fuck did the Royals come from?
