"THE LEGEND OF THE TICHBORNE DOLE" was made by Cosmopolitan Productions as part of the 'Haunted Houses & Castles of Great Britain' series. Adapted and produced by Hugh Croise, photographed by Bert Ford and Percy B Anthony. Piano accompaniment was added to this video copy by Sylvia Allen in 1997. Dramatised reconstruction of the legend, filmed partly at Tichborne House and using local people as extras, it also shows the actual Dole in 1925.

"WINCHESTER" was made entirely by a local trader (AF Chuter) during 1976-77 to promote the virtues of the city. He hoped that the local Council would adopt it for tourism purposes, but they declined, so this is a little-seen but very interesting and well-made view of Winchester 30 years ago.
