Darwen Days presents Real To Reel! The first collaboration of it's kind, consisting of 60 minutes of donated home videos and cine film footage from 1921 to 2012. You can see the devastation of Carr Road after the floods in 1964, the unveiling of the Angel war memorial in Bold Venture Park, how marvellous Darwen Gala was in the 1960s, the lycra and leotards donned by Darreners at the Leisure Centre in the 1980s, plus lots more! Whether you're a local Darrener or living across the world and missing the town, this DVD brings nostalgia and memories for Darreners everywhere, whatever their age. |
After we launched our new look website in October 2012 we asked you all for your feedback, which you emailed in your droves- thank you very much! We all sat about with mugs of tea and plates of cake and mulled over your responses, and then we retired to our drawing boards. We've replaced our gallery with a bigger, bells and whistles version- You can now trawl through our gallery by category, and leave comments beneath each image, just like our original Facebook Page.
At the moment, there’s a couple of hundred images in our gallery, and each day that is rapidly increasing as our volunteers tag up and publish each individual image. The reason we’re tagging each photograph is to allow you to be able to search (using the box at the top right of each page on this website) using keywords, just like Google.
Please bear in mind that this feature is still very much a work in progress until we get all of our material tagged up but you’re more than welcome to have a fiddle about with it. You can search for specific years, churches, clubs, pubs, surnames, class photos and street names too- have a fiddle with this feature and most importantly, let us know what you think! Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
