Part of the Wilkinson collection, this is a film of Stanley Fox, the photographer for Beighton Historical Society, at his house and at various local boat yards. Stanley Fox, the photographer for Beighton Historical Society, is sorting things out on his desk. In the background the radio can be heard with a conversation on a Radio Sheffield talk-in programme of an Asian man who has to board up his shop. Above the desk is a road sign for 'Woodhouse Terrace'. On the other side of the room are some model gypsy caravans. Stanley Fox takes a photo of the man taking the video film. He then shows some of his other cameras, including a cine camera. In the background the woman presenter is in discussion with Stocksbridge councillor Alf Meade, who is discussing the local environment. Stanley Fox holds up one his photographs to the camera. On a cabinet there is a large collection of old cameras. The film shows Stanley's dog, garden and many pictures on the wall. After a tour of his garden the film shows some of his paintings, including one of the old mills at Eckington and one of the Cross at Woodhouse. His dog, Katie, is laid on the floor. It then shows many of the plates he has on the walls and brasses on the windowsill as the film does a tour of the house, which is filled with knick-knacks. The film switches to show lots of boats moored on a canal, including his old one, where there are also fishermen. In the background is the flyover for the new supertram. One of his friends, Norman, is with his narrow boat, next to his own old boat, named after BBC Radio Sheffield presenter 'Jenny Day'. Another boat yard is shown, and also a new boat yard. An old warehouse is shown, soon to go. There is Tulley's Marine Services, possibly in Rotherham. The film ends with a man doing repairs to a boat.
