Our Films

We have made several films to date. Some were made to capture an historic event such as the recapping of Hough Windmill. Some were made to record the processes of a Leicestershire factory before it closed for good. One was made to explain the history of a particular site and what our Society is trying to achieve there.
We plan to make more films in the future.
Some films are just a few minutes long and can be watched on line from this page. Longer films, or longer versions of some of the films you can see here, are available on DVD.
When DVDs are made they are usually distributed free to LIHS members with extra copies available for purchase. Currently the price is £5 for one disk. Contact the Secretary, David Lyne (contact details below) if you wish to order.
