Volunteer film researchers at the Huntley Film Archives discovered Watkins' footage of the Hereford May fair in 1910 and soldiers marching off to the Great War in 1914 among a collection of films of rural life in Herefordshire – although we're not sure if any ley-hunting was captured on camera. The films are being screened around the country as part of a <a href="http://www.artsalive.co.uk/film.aspx?id=1312">Flicks in the Sticks</a> season about archival film.
