0:00:03 > 0:00:07'Just over a century ago, the motion camera was invented
0:00:07 > 0:00:11'and changed forever the way we recall our history.
0:00:11 > 0:00:17'For the first time, we could see life through the eyes of ordinary people.
0:00:18 > 0:00:24'Across this series, we'll bring these rare archive films back to life
0:00:24 > 0:00:28'with the help of our vintage mobile cinema.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33'We'll be inviting people with a story to tell to step onboard
0:00:33 > 0:00:38'and relive moments they thought were gone forever.
0:00:39 > 0:00:46'They'll see relatives onscreen for the first time, come face to face with their younger selves
0:00:46 > 0:00:50'and celebrate our amazing 20th century past.'
0:00:50 > 0:00:54This is the people's story. Our story.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Our vintage mobile cinema was originally commissioned in 1967
0:01:23 > 0:01:26to show training films to workers.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32Today it's been lovingly restored and loaded with remarkable film footage,
0:01:32 > 0:01:37preserved for us by the British Film Institute and other film archives.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41In this series, we travel to towns and cities across the country
0:01:41 > 0:01:47and show films from the 20th century that give us the reel history of Britain.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Today we're pulling up in 1953 in London
0:01:57 > 0:02:01to hear stories of our Queen's coronation.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18Just over 58 years ago, a young woman came out of Buckingham Palace here in London
0:02:18 > 0:02:23on her way in a golden coach to Westminster Abbey to be crowned Queen Elizabeth II
0:02:23 > 0:02:30and it was to be the most public coronation in the long, rich and varied life of our monarchy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Coming up: the people who watched the big day on brand-new live television.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Everybody wore their best clothes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46We were in the presence of the Queen!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Memoirs of a royal train carrier:
0:02:49 > 0:02:55It didn't hit me until I got inside how this was going to be seen all over the world.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03'And a father rediscovered in a forgotten coronation film.'
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Hearing his voice - he died in 1970 -
0:03:08 > 0:03:11was, to me, extraordinary.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22'It was here to London that millions of people came on 2nd June, 1953,
0:03:22 > 0:03:27'to see the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II for themselves.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29'Women outnumbered men 7 to 1
0:03:29 > 0:03:35'and no less than 8,251 esteemed guests from all over the world flocked here
0:03:35 > 0:03:40'to attend the ceremony in nearby Westminster Abbey.
0:03:46 > 0:03:53'Another historic event took place that day, too - live television brought it to ordinary families
0:03:53 > 0:03:55'right across the country.'
0:03:55 > 0:04:00From now until after five o'clock, television cameras take you into the heart of London
0:04:00 > 0:04:05to watch and share in each phase of this great day's events.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09'About 27 million watched at home on television.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16'That's 53% of the population. Another 11 million listened to it on the radio.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22'But sadness had preceded this happy event. The young Princess Elizabeth had been forced to return early
0:04:22 > 0:04:28'from a visit to Kenya when her father King George VI died a year earlier.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34'At 25, with two young children, the deep responsibilities of monarchy were placed
0:04:34 > 0:04:36'on her young shoulders.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50'However they witnessed the coronation, my guests today have never forgotten it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53'They've travelled from across the country to remember that big day.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58'Some will be seeing the film we're about to screen for the first time.
0:04:58 > 0:05:05'They'll be showing us photos of their loved ones and reliving memories of coronation day.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11'Lady Jane Rayne was one of six young women chosen to carry the royal train.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13'She was 20 at the time.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18'Her family moved in royal circles, but she was chosen mainly, she says,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20'because she was the right height.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25'She treasures the brooch the Queen gave her as a token of thanks.'
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I think you call this a cypher.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Her E.- Her E.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36- Gosh. Beautiful, isn't it? - She gave one of these to each of the six girls.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45'Now Lady Jane is about to see herself captured on the silver screen.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51'What memories will it bring back of the naive young woman she was on that day?
0:05:57 > 0:06:03'I suppose we were the Queen's helpers. I don't know how else I can describe myself.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13'My mother had died and I was all on my own getting ready.'
0:06:13 > 0:06:19We had a dear old Latvian lady who'd been looking after my mother when she was ill.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22She helped me do up my dress
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and brushed the back of my hair and things like that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34When we got out of the coach and joined the others,
0:06:34 > 0:06:40this beautiful train had been fitted to the back of her dress. We were all ready.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Then she turned round and said, "Well, girls, shall we go now?"
0:06:44 > 0:06:50The jewel-encrusted Norman Hartnell gown took 3,000 hours to make by hand.
0:06:50 > 0:06:57'This enormous and very, very beautiful train weighed an absolute ton.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02'Even my part of it, that's one sixth of the total weight,'
0:07:02 > 0:07:06was quite heavy. Quite a strain on the arm, I remember.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08CHOIR SINGS
0:07:13 > 0:07:19The sacred anointment ceremony was closed to cameras, but Lady Jane saw what the Queen had to cope with.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I think for her
0:07:22 > 0:07:27it must have been petrifying, but she would never show it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31And in that scene, I think it's the anointing,
0:07:31 > 0:07:37she looked really... just fragile is the word.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I just felt quite close to tears.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43That was the most moving bit for me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48And, um, I think she stood up to the strain very well.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Lady Jane was witnessing the moments of deepest significance during the coronation,
0:07:53 > 0:07:58which saw the Archbishop anoint the Queen on hands, head and heart
0:07:58 > 0:08:04with consecrated oil symbolising the sovereign's divine right to rule.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'It was such an honour to be chosen.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It gave me a feeling of great pride and my father was very pleased.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I was glad I caught his eye as I walked in. He gave me a lovely wink,
0:08:16 > 0:08:23which really reassured me. I felt somebody in the family was watching over me.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50'Watching the film has been a surprise for Lady Jane.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I was rather shocked how disagreeable I looked.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I think I was concentrating!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I look agonised at one stage, but...
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I could not begin to understand how she couldn't put a foot wrong
0:09:04 > 0:09:10because she never came to one single rehearsal. Not one. Always she had a stand-in,
0:09:10 > 0:09:16The Duchess of Norfolk. She must have paced it all out in the Palace or something. I don't know.
0:09:16 > 0:09:23- Perhaps she got into the Abbey at dead of night!- Crept down. - I don't know how she did it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31'The city of London was abuzz with royal fever that day,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35'but excitement spread across the country, too.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39'It brought an outpouring of passion for the Royal family.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45'To explain just why the monarchy was particularly popular with the public at that time,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49'I'm meeting up with the royal historian Kate Williams.'
0:09:52 > 0:09:57How would you compare sentiment then with sentiment now about the monarchy?
0:09:57 > 0:10:03The Royal family were incredibly popular in the early '50s for their role in the war.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09They refused to be evacuated, the Queen trained as a truck driver and worked really hard.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I think that created a huge amount of sympathy.
0:10:16 > 0:10:23The Queen was devastated when her father died. She was in Kenya at the time, the first to accede overseas.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27And she really felt very young to be becoming Queen.
0:10:27 > 0:10:34- So how did she prepare? - There was a lot of discussion. They had a year to work it out.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37She'd gone over the ceremony quite a few times.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43The Queen was worried because she was so small that the weight of the crown, 7lbs, would be too much,
0:10:43 > 0:10:50- so she practised wearing it every day.- Which monarchs do you compare her to? Victoria and Elizabeth I?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Or would you include others?
0:10:53 > 0:11:00There's a whole tradition of very young monarchs, just like Queen Victoria who was only 18,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Elizabeth I was 25, Henry VIII who was just 18.
0:11:03 > 0:11:10They're just incredibly popular. It's almost as if the nation grows up with them.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17'Today on Reel History, we parked our van on Horse Guards Parade
0:11:17 > 0:11:21'to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26'My next guest, Sandra Reekie, wasn't in central London that day.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32'She was a nine-year-old girl watching in Essex, thanks to the new marvel of live television.'
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- So how did you see the coronation? - On a tiny black and white TV,
0:11:37 > 0:11:42in a small room with heavy Victorian furniture with about 20 other people.
0:11:42 > 0:11:49'Now Sandra's going to see BBC news films capturing the excitement of live TV.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56'Sandra was born a year before war ended. Her childhood began in the shadow of the Blitz and rationing.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01'The coronation was an exciting moment for her whole family.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05'What childhood memories will come back to her?'
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Everybody wore their best clothes. Auntie Zela, whose TV it was,
0:12:11 > 0:12:17had brought lilies to decorate the room, so we had this hot, stuffy little dark room
0:12:17 > 0:12:21with this overpowering smell of lilies!
0:12:21 > 0:12:26We all had to wear our best. We were in the presence of the Queen!
0:12:32 > 0:12:37'Seeing the coronation on the television was the first time I,
0:12:37 > 0:12:43'and I imagine thousands of others, had ever seen something happening live in another place.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'That was quite amazing.'
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And now here is the Queen.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57The crowd have broken through the cordon of police and guardsmen and they're surging across.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03The films remind Sandra of what her parents' generation had been through in the war.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I noticed in the film when they were all running
0:13:09 > 0:13:13towards the... Sorry, I'm choking up now. ..towards the Palace gates,
0:13:13 > 0:13:19and it was those same people a few years earlier running into the Underground.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Sorry.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32They were an amazing generation of people.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39The last time people celebrated on this scale was when the war ended.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45Little wonder that the whole country rejoiced like Sandra's family on that coronation day.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51There was no standing back.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58It was just, "Let's have fun. Let's join in, let's dance together.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04"Let's just...let rip."
0:14:19 > 0:14:24There were armies of men and women carrying these big trays of egg sandwiches
0:14:24 > 0:14:29because everyone kept chickens, so egg sandwiches were easy to have.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33And jellies, blancmange and ice cream.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And that was a treat.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47It was just an amazing time. Everybody pulled together.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05That's actually the programme that was shown on the film.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Well done, isn't it?- It's beautiful.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- It's got embossed work here. The souvenir programme.- Yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19- Look at that. With a little crown on top.- Yes.- My goodness.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Isn't that lovely?- Yes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32'The Mall here in London was the heart of the celebrations.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37'It was here that the BBC filmed the installation of live TV cameras.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41'This would change how we record major events forever.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48'This is distinguished broadcaster Peter Dimmock, who as Assistant Head of BBC Outside Broadcasts,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53'produced the coronation programme on the day. And this is Peter at 90.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58'He's come along to the cinema to tell us how it came about.'
0:15:58 > 0:16:03There was quite a lot of resistance to having the coronation on TV.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09How did you get through that? How did you make people accept that it would be good to put it on TV?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It was really lobbying and then, finally, a secret -
0:16:13 > 0:16:18we took cameras secretly to the Abbey and demonstrated
0:16:18 > 0:16:25to the Air Marshal, the Archbishop, the Minister of Works and the Press Secretary from Buckingham Palace,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29we showed them that it wouldn't be a strain on the Queen.
0:16:29 > 0:16:36That's what was behind it. The Queen was prepared to do whatever her advisors said.
0:16:36 > 0:16:44After that demonstration, I had an agonising 48 hours. Telephone call - "OK, you can do it."
0:16:44 > 0:16:47As well as broadcasting to homes across Britain,
0:16:47 > 0:16:53the ceremony was distributed around Europe and sent by plane to America and Canada.
0:16:55 > 0:17:02All because the camera can cross the Atlantic in the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08And so the coronation will be seen on the same day, halfway round the world.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15So what were the bits of it you remember most affectionately?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20I'll never forget all of us in the Control Room having tears in our eyes
0:17:20 > 0:17:26with that shot from the West Door as the Queen processed out of the Abbey.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31And to that wonderful music, for which I have to thank the late Princess Margaret.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37We were going to have a piece of music that was specially written and Princess Margaret said,
0:17:37 > 0:17:45"We should have a more resounding piece of music." That's how we got that wonderful orchestra.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It worked a treat. I'll never forget it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50CHOIR SINGS
0:17:55 > 0:18:00'The coronation was the single biggest boost to television sales
0:18:00 > 0:18:04'with over one million new sets bought especially for it.'
0:18:04 > 0:18:10It was very interesting. You went to a dinner party before the coronation and somebody would say,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14"Have you got television?" "I think the servants have got it."
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Immediately after the coronation, "Did you see that programme...?"
0:18:24 > 0:18:30'One person who didn't see the coronation on television was Margaret Tyler from Wembley.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36'Her father wouldn't let her watch television because she was preparing for her 11 Plus.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40'The ban broke her heart at the time, but she's made up for it since
0:18:40 > 0:18:46'and is now famous for her record-breaking collection of royal memorabilia.'
0:18:46 > 0:18:50This is from the coronation, yes. We all got a mug at school.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- And you kept yours. - I've got about 40 of them now. I have somebody else's as well!
0:18:55 > 0:19:01But it was a lovely era. These are little stickers. They've got the coach and horses on.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05They're very sweet, aren't they? And this is a plate.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10This is when the Queen actually went to New Zealand, Christmas, 1953.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- You should open a museum! - It's like living in a museum, but it's a labour of love.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22I feel very proud to think that I've got so much stuff on the Royal family. I'm so proud of them.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34So this is the Mall, from Admiralty Arch to Buckingham Palace.
0:19:34 > 0:19:41This was the great showpiece, the grand promenade. 30,000 people slept here on a very rainy night
0:19:41 > 0:19:48and stood through a very rainy day and three million more were around largely this part of the city.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54'I'm meeting up with Faye Hasid from Manchester, who slept out all night as a young woman,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57'for a chance to see the new Queen.'
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- So you came...- I did. - ..to see the coronation.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- In the middle of the night.- What made you decide you wanted to come?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Well, I was a great Royalist and it was an exciting occasion.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Everybody thought I was mad, but it was worth it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- It was quite something.- What was the crowd like?- Oh, marvellous.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Everybody was happy, everybody was friendly. It was exciting.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29And everybody talked to everybody. It was that kind of atmosphere.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- And you brought this.- And sat on it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- This is 58 years old.- Yes. - Did you buy it for the occasion?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42I can't remember, but it's been used for decorating and all sorts since.
0:20:42 > 0:20:50- To the museum of royal memorabilia, this might be worth a lot!- I'll tell my son it will gain in value!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Antiques Roadshow.- Definitely.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02'Clearly it was amazing to sample the atmosphere of London on that coronation day.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09'My next guest, Ron Bygate, was also on the streets that day, but he was strictly on duty.
0:21:09 > 0:21:16'Ron was one of over 29,000 British and Commonwealth forces who marched or lined the route.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20'He's travelled here from Warrington with his wife Ruth.'
0:21:20 > 0:21:27We did several rehearsal parades and when the main day came we were all on duty by half past eight,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31in our positions, and we stayed there until four o'clock in the afternoon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- Did you have anything to eat or drink?- We had an army packed lunch,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- if you can imagine what was in that! - What was it?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43A corned beef sandwich, I think. Something like.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- I used to like corned beef! You had to!- Exactly, yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53'Ron and his wife Ruth met a year after the coronation.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57'They've been married for 53 years.
0:21:58 > 0:22:05'Ron's about to relive his day on duty with the Territorial Army 4th Battalion, South Lancs.'
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I was very lucky to be chosen to come to the coronation.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21'24 of us got chosen to represent the Battalion.
0:22:21 > 0:22:27'Our quarters for that week were in Kensington Gardens, under canvas.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33'There was many hundreds of tents there, lots of Commonwealth and Great Britain forces,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38'Army, Navy and Air Force. We had a very early breakfast,'
0:22:38 > 0:22:43then we made our way down to our location at East Carriage Drive.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47And we took our positions. That was about 8.30 in the morning.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Troops and police officers of all ranks did their bit.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Down the broad sweep of Piccadilly to Hyde Park Corner.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07Here the great parade splits into three to pass through the arches of Apsley Gate.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09'We didn't think this would happen.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15'Representing the Battalion on the coronation, you expected officers,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18'sergeant and corporals to have gone.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:25But quite a few of us went as ordinary private soldiers. We were all very pleased about that.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Everybody was excited and there were huge crowds at the back of us.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36It was really great to see people from all walks of life.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I know it was wet and cool, but nevertheless really good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47When the procession started to come past, we had to stand to attention.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53And of course when the Queen's coach came past us, we had to present arms to her.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02When the day was over, Ron was left with a lasting reminder of the contribution he'd made.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10When we got back from London, that particular evening we had this photograph taken
0:24:10 > 0:24:16in front of the town hall, Warrington. We had to hand the dress uniform back to the stores
0:24:16 > 0:24:21in the barracks, so it was a question of taking the photo while you had it!
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- You wore those uniforms on the parade?- Yes. Navy blue, red stripe down the trousers.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37- Very smart.- Yeah, it was. Long time ago, 58 years ago. - But did you enjoy it?- Oh, yes.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I'll always remember it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43That film we've seen brought a lot of memories back.
0:24:49 > 0:24:56'My final guest today, Lord Wakehurst, has come to see a rare film made by his father,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01'an early home movie enthusiast. It's a film his son didn't even know existed.
0:25:01 > 0:25:08'His father, the previous Lord Wakehurst, here with wife Margaret, was Governor of Northern Ireland
0:25:08 > 0:25:11'when the coronation took place.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17'So when he was invited to the ceremony, his trusty camera went with him.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25'Now the current Lord Wakehurst is going to watch the very film his father made on that day.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28'It's called Long To Reign Over Us.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33'No one knows how his father got permission to film,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38'but he certainly secured some remarkable behind the scenes access on the day.'
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Peers in their crimson velvet robes and ermine capes make their way to the places assigned to them.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51A heavy shower is the cause of some disarray, especially to peeresses.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Here is the representative of an African territory, here a Red Indian chief from British Columbia.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05'Lord Wakehurst's father died 40 years ago. Watching this film brings him close again.'
0:26:06 > 0:26:09'He was a fairly remote character.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14'Very interested in all sorts of things that he spent his time on
0:26:14 > 0:26:17'and recording things that he thought would disappear.'
0:26:17 > 0:26:23He bought a Kodak camera. It was quite a big thing in those days,
0:26:23 > 0:26:27which he used, I think, for the rest of his life.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33A ride round the town seeing the decorations is quite the thing to do.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And it isn't only the better off West End that has decked itself out.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Hearing his voice, when he died in 1970,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50was, to me, extraordinary.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56We're not just witnessing a wonderful show. This is an event of deep spiritual significance.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00He was ahead of his time in many ways.
0:27:00 > 0:27:07'It made me realise that he was really very good at putting that film together.
0:27:10 > 0:27:16'It was my father's personal film. I think it's very important.'
0:27:17 > 0:27:21And people are still looking at what he did.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39The people I met today have retained their affection for the Queen throughout the last 60 years.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44# And a golden coach
0:27:44 > 0:27:48# Bears a heart of gold
0:27:48 > 0:27:54# That belongs to you and me... #
0:27:54 > 0:27:59And I'm delighted they've shared their thoughts with all of us.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02But there's another curious thing
0:28:02 > 0:28:07about the song on that film, In A Golden Coach, where he says...
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- #- With a heart of gold That belongs to you and me.- #
0:28:13 > 0:28:17That was a strange thing to say, that it belonged to us, her heart.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22I know it's a song and sentimental, but still...I think it was provoked
0:28:22 > 0:28:28by her determination to dedicate herself to the country and that struck a chord with people.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And that's what she's done.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Next time on Reel History,
0:28:34 > 0:28:40we're at the Park Hill Estate in Sheffield, remembering '60s high-rise housing.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44We lived in a slum area, back-to-back houses.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48We moved to Park Hill flats. It was like a palace.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53It held out hopes for a better future.
