Ixworth Nostalgia - Photography students make short film 'The Great Pub Robbery' in village's Pickerel pub in 1960s

In today's nostalgia we transport back to 1962 when a group of young people were busy shooting a film in a village pub near Bury St Edmunds.

The film was being made by members of the Ixworth Modern Secondary School Evening Institute photography class at the village's Pickerel pub.

Entitled 'The Great Pub Robbery', the film was expected to have a 10 minute runtime and would be a slapstick comedy.

Filmmaking was under the supervision of class tutor, Mr Richard H. Hempstead.

The basic plot would see a girl being kidnapped and the efforts of her boyfriend to save her.

Elizabeth Watson and Paul Lainchbury played the heroine and hero, while Neil Cornwell and Cliff Adams played the villains.
