Video: A clip from 'Memories of Cambridgeshire and the Fens, Part 1'
Two new titles have been made available, Memories of Cambridgeshire and the Fens: Part 1 and Part 2, which take us on a journey through bygone days in the county from 1916 through to the 1960s.
The DVDs tell the story of life in the county through a half century of change, including archive footage of street scenes in Cambridge, Ely and Wisbech through the years, the life of the Fenland marshmen in the 1940s and Papworth Hospital in the 1930s.
Andrew Gray, Managing Director of Independent Studios said: "These DVDs are a first for Cambridgeshire. Until now, people have only been able to see the county's past in photographs. Now we can all watch, on film, previous generations before us going about their daily lives in the places we know.
Other titles in the range include The Home Front: East Anglia at War, Floods of East Anglia 1912-1953, Working the Land: Farm Life in East Anglia, Ghosts of East Anglia, Railways of East Anglia, and Women in East Anglia: Wartime Lives.
The East Anglian Film Archive DVDs cost £9.99 each from HMV and other retailers or online at
