‘Day in the Life of New Buckenham’
This is a short film made by the East Anglian
Film Archive in 1993 and appears on the
British Film Institute website.
“Children leave for school and the daily
routines begin at the newsagent's, butcher's,
bakery, post office, garage, pub, basket
makers', pottery and piggery. People are at the
hairdressers, repairing buildings and cars,
cleaning the church. The milk and post
delivery and mobile fish and chip van
punctuate the day until the children's return
and evening playtime, bell ringing and start
of rehearsals for the winter pantomime at the
pub.”
‘New Buckenham in Lockdown 2020’
(New Buckenham Arts video)
A call went out for photographs taken in the
village during the lockdown months
in 2020. The photos were made into a short
film illustrating empty streets, closed
premises, bored cats and forbidding notices.
These images changed to business opening
where possible, distanced partying and
clapping for carers. There was appreciation
of our gardens and the wonderful
opportunities to walk quietly in the village’s
surrounding countryside.
