The Isle of Grain is a special place with a mysterious presence and history that lives in the memories of many generations. Thank you for making this video.
Hi Maurice. I am in the process of editing a video set to a reimagining of Emmylou Harris' Red Dirt Girl (a country song which is about a working class girl born in the Southern town of Meridian on the border of Alabama and Mississippi). I have changed the lyrics to make it the story of a girl born in Medway. I would like to use some clips of the above footage in the accompanying video if I am able to obtain permission to do so. Would that be OK, please? Many thanks, Heather
I really love this, the film quality suits the subject perfectly
Great to see this. I take my 4year old over there because he loves the tall chimney. Then the power station was new and now it's closed.

Brilliant to see. I was born & bred in Allhallows be Grain. Lots of memories. I was 17 in 1979 👍👍👍😊
And you can bet just about everyone in those houses at 2:24 was watching the Christmas 79 edition of It's a Knockout.
Thank you, looking back now, wish I had shot more with that filmstock.
Hi Maurice. Did you shoot the footage taken of BP Kent Refinery 1979? The refinery was decommissioned and demolished in 1980 or 1981 I believe.
Checking back looks like I've got the dates wrong. It must have been either xmas day 1978, or new years day 1979.
Great footage! Would you mind if I used this in a doco I'm making?
The film is copyright & it would all get too complex - easier for you to shoot some footage yourself.
@@gazellefilms Ok no worries, thanks for replying.
