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.
DVD
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.

The ‘Shakespeare’ Route – The SMJ – This highly acclaimed video is the first detailed
exploration of this hitherto neglected 70 mile long cross country route, which
was called the “Shakespeare Route” by a PR minded boss. Struggling against hostile powerful
neighbours throughout its independent existence, it was absorbed by the LMS in
1923 and closed by BR between 1949 and 1965, except for a 3 mile section
serving an army camp. Using rare archive stills from Victorian days, documents,
plans, unique archive film from the 1920s through to closure as a through route
in the 1960s and even rare footage of the military railway, this video provides
an intimate portrait of the line, and reveals much that has not even appeared
in the written histories of the SMJ. For example, it is well known that one of
its early engines was an 0-6-6-0 Fairlie that had been intended for Russia, but
until this video appeared, no one knew that the engine was an astonishing 10 ft
6ins wide when delivered, and had to have three inches sliced off each side of
the footplate, so it could operate !
