Fairfields – Past & Present (38 mins, UK, 2010)
After lying derelict for many a year, renovation of the Fairfields Shipyard drawing offices becan in early 2010. The members of Plantation Productions Senior’s Film Club decided they would like to document the renovation of the building and take a look at its proud past, the people who worked there and the plans for the future of the building.
In doing so they uncovered many great personal and historical stories, including recollections of the Upper Clydeside Shipyards “work-in” which, under the stewardship of legendary union leader Jimmy Reid, saved the yard from closure in 1971.
Directed by Jayne Henry
