Bob will describe 100 years of local film-making in Elstree & Borehamwood. He’ll also refer to Aldenham’s own connection as a key location for many films and TV productions. Of course, being a resident of Hertsmere means that you own a share of Elstree Studios as well.

This won’t be just an exercise in nostalgia, since Elstree Studios are busier than they have been for many years, largely as a result of increased BBC activity and Bob will bring the story up-to-date and speculate a bit about the future.

Bob will touch on how Elstree Screen Heritage was formed and the work it has done to protect and promote the home of British film and television.

Elstree Screen Heritage has learned a lot over the past nine years: how to fight campaigns, raise profiles and form effective working relationships with other groups, government and commercial.
