The Dragon Shields were invited to join Britannia re-enactment group for a battle in the Roman town of Welwyn.
The Ruins of Verulamium
Hertfordshire (Herts, for short) and Cambridgeshire in southeastern England contain fascinating sites and museums to explore. David Miano and Mariza Lockhart will be your guides to ruins and artifacts that can be found in St. Albans, Welwyn, and Cambridge!
Remains of ancient Verulamium, the third largest Roman city in the country, are still standing in St. Albans and are not to be missed. Nearby in Welwyn, the remnants of Roman baths can be found underground. The magnificent city of Cambridge is rich in past history, but we look specifically at the museums that contain ancient artifacts and treasures.

Development of the English Town (1942-43)
More from our archives:
The British Council Film Collection is an archive of more than 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.
Development of the English Town leads us on a swift journey through the ages, examining the motivations of town-builders from the Romans at Silchester right thorough to the modern designers of 1950s new towns. A promotion of the virtues of today's well-considered community blueprints, this film demonstrates the advances in town planning through a critique of our ancestors' built environments.
This film illustrates the main concepts behind town planning in England in every major era from the Roman period to the modern day, extolling the virtues of consideration of factors, exemplified in modern town planning. It unrepentantly presents all earlier 'organic' towns as unhealthy, or horrible, asking 'What kind of life must the inhabitants have had?' However, it also features the 'ghosts' of a Norman, 18th century footman, and a Victorian gentleman, who tend to challenge this view; but they are gently overshadowed by the narrator's opinion.
The 'London Overspill' policy was instigated in the 1930s to move people out of London, but started in earnest after World War II, as a reaction to the housing shortages caused by bombing and large amounts of substandard housing in the capital. In fact, it seems to suggests that war is useful in clearing overcrowded areas, as is now an opportunity to build more pleasant towns. The film finishes very much looking to the future, perhaps encouraging people to move into these new planned towns; presenting them as the ideal.
Locations featured: Roman Silchester (Between Basingstoke, Newbury, & Reading), Norman Rye (Near Hastings), Chipping Campden (Near Evesham), 18th c. Bath(?), Port Sunlight, Bournville, Letchworth, Welwyn Garden City and many other unnamed locations, including Nottingham, Hanger Lane Tube Station, etc.
NB. Film mentions Welwyn Garden City, which was 'finished' in 1948.

Hollywood In Herts (1930)
Hertfordshire.
There aren't any film studios in this picture - these girls from Welwyn are just hunting for holly for the festive season. Girls run towards the camera followed by a horse drawn cart. The girls all wear overalls - they are possibly farm workers or kennel maids or something similar. M/S of them moving away from the camera down a country lane.
Next to catching porcupines, holly collecting is one of nature's most prickly pastimes - M/S of the girls picking holly from the hedgerows. One girl is high up in a tree. Low angle shot of the girl in the tree. Various shots of the girls as they throw holly into the cart. The girls help their friend down from the tree. M/S of the girls running towards the camera carrying bunches of holly. There's a good time coming... (As the song says). The girls arrive at a grand house and walk inside carrying the holly.

Places to see in ( Hitchin - UK )
Places to see in ( Hitchin - UK )
Hitchin is a market town in the North Hertfordshire District in Hertfordshire, England. The town flourished on the wool trade, and located near the Icknield Way and by the 17th century Hitchin was a staging post for coaches coming from London. By the middle of the 19th century the railway had arrived, and with it a new way of life for Hitchin. The corn exchange was built in the market place and within a short time Hitchin established itself as a major centre for grain trading.
The latter half of the 20th century has also brought great changes in communication to Hitchin. Motorways have shortened the journey time and brought Luton, a few miles away on the M1, and the A1 (M) even closer. By the close of the 20th century, Hitchin had become a satellite dormitory town for London. Hitchin also developed a fairly strong Sikh community based around the Walsworth area.
Hitchin railway station is on the Great Northern Line, to which the Cambridge Line connects just north of the station. There are direct connections to London, Stevenage, Peterborough, and Cambridge. Journeys to London and Cambridge both last approximately 30 minutes on the Express services. Stevenage is 5 minutes away and Peterborough is typically 45 minutes distance in journey-time. The A505, A600 and A602 roads intersect in Hitchin, which is about three miles (5 km) from the A1(M) motorway and about ten miles (16 km) from the M1 motorway. Hitchin is about 9 miles from Luton Airport with a direct bus service linking the two.
Hitchin hosts an annual Arts & Music Festival in July which in previous years included Rhythms of the World. Hitchin Festival includes picnics, concerts, theatre, ghost walks, art exhibitions, comedy club, talks, summer fetes and fireworks. Since 2014, Hitchin has hosted the yarn festival Festiwool, organised and run by members of Hitchin Stitchin.

The Mystery Of Marriage Aka Secrets Of Marriage (1931)
Intriguingly bizarre film comparing the courtship and mating rituals of humans with those of animals.
Scenario and Direction by Mary Field. Music arranged by W.E. Hodgson. Recordist A.F. Birch. Photographed and Produced by British Instructional Films Ltd. Welwyn Garden City.
A man strolls through the countryside whistling a song which echoes that of a bird seen sitting on a twig. He discovers his girlfriend who is hiding in the woodland picking flowers. When he finds her he booms: I knew it was you! and embraces her. She objects: No, no! (even though she likes it!). Oh Stella, why won't you marry me? he implores. There are such thousands and millions of people in the world she replies, how can we be sure that we are really made for one another? C/U of the couple - he is a classic spiv with pencil thin moustache and she is a classic 1930s beauty. He promises Stella that he will get a rise and they will buy a house (she can choose the furniture). This would be a great sequence for illustrating love's young dream in the 1930s.
Narrator states: Marriage, mating and the age old mystery of the universe. The secret of the attraction that draws one individual to another. This attraction is exercised by almost all living creatures and can be discovered even among the lower forces of life. We are then shown some microscope footage of mould! Time lapse photography is used to show how mould grows with a bizarre commentary about how mould searches for a partner but will only have a cousinly embrace if they meet a relative. Weird!
Time lapse photography of flowers growing (sweet peas?). Silly narration continues over these shots and footage of the Praying Mantis. A man preparing himself for wooing by polishing his hair and preening his moustache is compared to various animals including a Hunting Spider. Various C/Us of the spider capturing and wrapping up his prey. These are intercut with shot of man wrapping flowers (like the fly, a gift for his intended).
The mating techniques of the predatory spider are compared with those of humans. A young woman sitting in a bar on her own eyes up a man who sits at her table. He asks her what's yours? and she flirtatiously replies: Well, I don't know. He buys her a glass of stout.
The mating rituals of sticklebacks, peacocks and other birds are compared to humans. New spring clothes can encourage the shyest suitor to take up a courageous attitude in courtship we are informed over nice shots of a man in a striped blazer strutting and chasing a women. He catches her beside a haystack and kisses her passionately.
A peacock displaying its tail is compared to a man in tails. Narrator discusses the fact that in the animal world strange choices are sometimes made in mates. A tall woman and a short man are used to show that this happens with humans too!
The antlers of a deer remind us that in courtship there is rivalry. Labyrinth spiders are shown. The narrator points out that they are apparently happy but the male is making no effort to entertain his mate. As the narrator observes: It is fatal to allow anything feminine to become bored.
Interior of a railway station tea bar or similar. Signs for Oxo and Bovril visible behind the counter. A man in a white coat gives a male customer some horseracing tips. Woman leans on the counter looking sultry as a man in the foreground admires her. She is obviously bored with her mate. C/U of a spiders web with 2 or 3 spiders scuttling around it - implication being that she is trying to entrap the new man on the scene. She continues to pose. Another man comes to the counter and he and the woman look each other up and down. The man is served a cup of tea. The woman gives him her best come hither look. She bats her eyelids, he looks keen - licking his lips. The woman's mate stands up to his full height looking menacing, he grabs the woman's arm and moves her away along the counter.
C/U of a spider's web - one spider chases another. C/U of a fight between two female Praying Mantis - they are fighting over a man. The next section illustrates female rivalry. C/U of a woman's hand as she uses her fingers to take beauty cream from various pots on her dressing table. C/U of another woman's hands as she applies powder to her puff. C/U of a young woman applying lipstick. Shot of an older woman's reflection in the mirror as she applies lipstick. The two glamorous women are seen at their dressing tables making themselves look gorgeous. L/S of older woman standing up - she wears a long black evening gown and pearls. She fluffs out a long back train which drifts along behind her as she walks. She opens the door to another room to reveal a younger woman at another dressing table

BALANCING upside-down and backwards on a 35-mile-per-hour horse Britain's youngest horse trick rider is a class act. Schoolgirl, Skye Woodward's acts may look deadly -- and probably would be for most adults, but pint-sized Skye is a fifth generation horse riding professional who has been on a horse since she was carried by her mother at just three-days-old. Now aged just ten years the four-foot six inches tall, Skye is not only a professional stunt rider who performs 20 death-defying shows per year across Britain, but she has toured Europe with her stunt team. Skye has even worked in training sessions on the 2011 film version of Wuthering Heights and Hollywood block buster Season of the Witch with Nicolas Cage, also released last year. Four-and-a-half stone Skye also breaks-in ponies on the side, earning her a total of £6,000 per year. She has even broken-in a young male horse, called a colt -- which can be a challenge even for adult horse wranglers. Skye is so horse-mad her mother, Amy Woodward, 33, from Welwyn in Hertfordshire must try to reign in her young daughter's ambition to attempt ever more dangerous stunts.
