        Overview

        The second reel of Here And There (also in the Fred James Collection), this film by Essex resident and dedicated home movie-maker Fred James starts with shots of tree pruning outside his home in Woodford Wells. Next we visit Torquay – including extended coverage of a rugby match – and Brixham, where we see excellent footage of a seaworthy model of the Mayflower under construction. Also contains film of High Laver church, near Harlow and a nice sign post to Bishop’s Stortford.
