  Trams Electric trams first appeared in Great Britain at the end of the 19th century. Horse-drawn tramcars had been around since the late 1870s but it was the development of electric traction that tramcars really came into their own. Single-deck trams then double-deck open trams and later open-balcony trams became a familiar sight around the British Isles. Towns and Cities such as Glasgow Sheffield Blackpool Southampton Leicester Leeds Cardiff and London had extensive tramway systems. But many systems were damaged in the Second World War just as the trolleybus was gaining popularity and the tram systems were gradually scrapped. Trolleybuses. The history of the trolleybus dates back as far as 1882 to a small Berlin suburb where an experimental display of this type of transport continued until 13th June 1882. In 1911 Bradford and Leeds became the first British cities to offer trolleybuses that could carry passengers and eventually 50 trolleybus routes operated in Britain the largest being in London which began in May 1931. Glasgow was the last trolleybus system to be inaugurated in the British Isles the system opening on 3 April 1949 but lasted a total of only 18 years. Buses & Coaches. Never has such an everyday means of transport been more popular than the humble bus. Single deckers open tops single cabs double deckers london transport and luxury coaches can all evoke a special memory of a journey to somewhere in the past. Visiting bus and coach rallies up and down the country we relive those memories of days gone by looking at the world of the bus and coach enthusiasts.

• Second World War Collection -Dig For Victory The Ministry Of Food And The Battle To Feed Wartime Britain 1940 - 1944 | DVD | (14/06/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This DVD companion to the Imperial War Museum's Second World War Ministry Of Food Exhibition is the definitive compilation of their own film archive's holdings on every stage of the food chain; food production preparation and consumption. It affords a very detailed insight into the logistical struggle to feed the British during the dark days of war; both fighting servicemen and civilians on the home front. The Ministry Of Food had the unenviable task of keeping the public constantly aware of the shortage of food as ships containing much needed imports were a constant target for the Luftwaffe and the German Navy. It was imperative that the nation endeavored to self-sufficiency as far as was practicable and these films encourage the British public's positive adaptation to the privations of shortages and rationing with an emphasis on how to be frugal and inventive on the 'Kitchen Front' on avoiding waste on reducing imports through the promotion of 'seasonal' produce and fool-proof instructional films on how to grow one's own food. The WVS and 'Food Flying Squads' leapt into nightly action during the 'Blitz' to feed the wardens rescue teams firemen and civilians who had been bombed out of their homes. Communal dining in a chain of 'British Restaurants' helped ration coupons to go further. The Ministry of information used many star names from the theatre and variety revues of the time such as Tommy Trinder Ted Ray Ronald Shiner Arthur Haynes Charlie Chester Jimmy Handley John Slater Ralph Richardson and Hubert Gregg. The Army is commonly said to march on its stomach but feeding the forces on the frontline was fraught with challenges. The Ministry of Information commissioned short-form Public Information Films on all aspects of the war effort and the finale of this collection is a selection of the very best of these films that make reference to food helping with the harvest and the famous Food Flashes all of which were shown in the cinemas of the time.

  According to modern geology, our world is over four and a half billion years old, and its geological features have been sculpted over vast eons of time. Everyone knows that planet earth is unimaginably ancient. It's common knowledge that geological forces have acted slowly over millions of years to form the rocks beneath our feet. But what if what everyone 'knows' is wrong? This remarkable programme takes the viewer on a visual odyssey of discovery like no other. Shot on location across Britain, it takes in some of the most spectacular countryside, beautiful coastlines and awe inspiring landscapes these islands have to offer. From the stormy shores of South Wales to the dramatic Giant's Causeway in County Antrim, from the granite tors of Dartmoor to the windswept uplands of the Peak District, we visit an array of sites that have inspired generations of geologists and helped us to unravel the mysteries of the earth's past. Most significantly, we pay a visit to Siccar Point in Scotland, made famous by the pioneering naturalist James Hutton, whose observations here sparked an earthquake in the science of geology that still reverberates to this day. Along the way, we will pose some intriguing questions. Were the rocks around us formed slowly and gradually - or suddenly during catastrophic events? Did the history of the world unfold over vast eras of time or much shorter periods? And what do the rocks really tell us about the geological history of our world? Complete with an educational booklet supported by over 150 references to the scientific literature.
