蘑菇短视频

Revealing 1948 portrait of Bolventor School in Cornwall.

Just 24 pupils aged five to 15, in two classrooms with two teachers, plus headmaster Reginald Bennetts and his wife.

In this experimental programme, 蘑菇短视频 engineers had set-up microphones around this tiny remote village school in the middle of Bodmin Moor in the Autumn of 1947.

Microphones and cables were left to allow children to get used to them.

This programme was recorded over a week with the head as presenter, plus the stories of two former pupils, who attended the school when it opened in 1877.

(The school closed in 1994).
