A Future for the Past - a Civic Trust
video
In 1971, the Civic Trust produced a 35 minute
film about conservation areas in England, their threats
and the way forward. The film helped capture the
essence of what is beautiful about our towns, village
and cities with the abundance of heritage around
us. The video is as relevant today as it was
nearly 40 years ago. To see the video, please visit

talks!
The Civic Trust would like to make Civic
Trust TV into a true one stop shop for videos that can
be accessed by all Civic Societies, so whether you have
recorded a question time session or have a video
highligting your town, why not send it to us and we will
upload if for you!
