Does anyone have any information about this home movie filmed in Ashby 60 years ago?

The clip is on YouTube and has been posted on a channel called The Film Archives of Dr Michael Tellis.

Here, there is a four minute film called 'A Great Big Party in Ashby, 1964'.

Accompanying the clip is a message which reads: "This film was taken by Michael's best friend Peter Corkey, a doctor in Measham and Ashby Hospital. Is it a gala? It could be a fair, a fundraiser or a carnival."

The film is captioned 'Ashby Gala 1964' but there are few other details. Some of the children here will be in their 60s or early 70s now.

If anyone has any memories or recollections of this, please leave a comment on the Facebook page.

You can view the YouTube clip below.
