Hillside Video & DVD
British Isles Series
Video production at Hillside
Publishing began in 1989, commencing with a 30 minute record of the narrow
gauge Southwold Railway which closed as long ago as 1929. Highly acclaimed at the
time, it remains THE definitive work on this fascinating line. Two 55-minute
“Behind the Scenes”programmes on the Manx Electric and Isle of Man Railway
followed, and our most ambitious Narrow gauge programme to date is a 61 min
documentary on the Talyllyn Railway in 1948-50 before preservation and exactly
50 years later. Talyllyn 50 was released as a part of the Talyllyn Railway
Preservation Society golden jubilee celebrations in May 2001.
The Southwold railway had been
the first Super-8 cine film produced by Hillside Publishing 25 years ago. IN
1989, it inaugurated the Hillside Video range, and in 2005, the tradition was
reinforced as “Rails to Southwold” became the first Hillside title to be
released on DVD.
