The Iron Bridge on TV |
During June and July 2004 the Iron Bridge Restoration Project was featured in a TV programme called 'Restoration: You Make It Happen' that was shown on the Community Channel, which is broadcast by Sky, Freeview, Telewest and NTL.
The programme was made by the Community Channel themselves as a tie in to the BBC's 2004 series 'Restoration', presented by Griff Rhys-Jones. The programme's producer, Coumba Fergusson, has kindly given permission for us to use extracts from it featuring the Iron Bridge. We're very grateful for this and we'd like to thank Coumba and the Community Channel for lending their support to our campaign in this way.
Our part of the programme totalled nearly 5 minutes and we've attempted to find a compromise between file size and picture quality to make it practical for everyone to use on the Internet. The extract has been split into three separate clips, in order to reduce the time it takes to download, and there are three different levels of quality provided for each clip. The largest size is best if you have broadband and you're prepared to wait a little while for the file download; the medium is better if you've got broadband but no patience; and the smallest size should work for modem users, although you may still find it heavy going.
The file format is Windows Media Player, which comes as standard with the Windows operating system. If you haven't got the latest version we recommend you download it for free from the Microsoft web site.
Depending on your own computer's settings you may find the clips a little dark. If this is the case you can adjust them to suit your own tastes using the slider controls for brightness and contrast within Windows Media Player.

The video was converted to digital format for us free of charge by Andy Glossop, of local company AMG Video Productions, and we would like to extend our thanks again to Andy, who also helped us with our sponsored walk in May 2004.
