- Hemsworth, as seen through the eyes of some of its young residents...
This another example of collaborative filmmaking! I made this short social documentary with a group of young people from Hemsworth; a small, former pit town in Yorkshire. As part of the project those young people involved developed their basic ICT skills and earned an ASDAN award for their efforts.
The film also gave them the opportunity to discuss their feelings about the Town, which was about to begin a substantial regeneration programme.
The film takes place in an area known as the West End, which has subsequently been torn down...

I lived on top street with my mum for a few years worst years of my life and im glad its in the past but makes you who you are
I was born in 58 Town Street , now gone , Hemsworth was always a "tasty" place to live , but the people had pride in who they were and what they did , it never recovered from the pit closures ,and probably never will .Despite all the negative thoughts against this village , i am still VERY PROUD to have been born here ,West End Born and Bred
Blimey, it's nowt like that anymore. What a grim video.
Wow, Hemsworth has changed since I went to the high school there in the eighties.
it's all knocked down now there's a big football area at top of that old estate. No new houses have been built in that estate it looks better now though.
I notice none of the interviewees talk about creating places for them to work in the future. I remember going to school at West End Middle, the area wasn't bad at all then (in the 80s). Not good either, but not that bad.
Its a shame to see ex mining places like these go down the pan but when the pit went so did the spirit i know where i live outwood just north of Wakefiled the villiage use to come under Lofthouse pit long gone82 was the year it shut 84 flattened but what can u do well nice to see video anyway see vi
they have started knockin what we call west end bronx down now though but wen i bin past a seen kids up on the roofs a houses tht are in this vid.
