Britannia Park Documentary (pre- American Adventure) – The Rise & Fall of Britannia (1986)
An investigation into the failure of Britannia Park, a theme park on British history on the former Shipley Country Park. The developer Peter Kellard and park chairman John Wright were later found guilty of fraud. The park was redesigned as The American Adventure and re-opened in 1987. This is one tape I didnt digitise myself but have fixed some of the tape errors. It wasn’t widely available so thought I’d post it here. Not being monetised.
