Regions of Britain - The Welsh Marches | Shell Historical Film Archive
A March is an old English word for a border district. Offa's Dyke is the original border line between the English and the Welsh.
In the wake of the Roman departure from England in the fifth century, a relentless power struggle unfolded among border chieftains. It was Offa who ultimately rose to dominance, initiating the construction of a defining border dyke between two nations. Offa's Dyke, pays homage to King Offa, who reigned as the Anglo-Saxon ruler of Mercia.

Welsh Marches Line (Shrewsbury to Cardiff Central) - DRIVERS EYE VIEW
It is finally here, the last drivers eye view of 2022 has arrived, the Welsh Marches line from Shrewsbury to Cardiff Central on board one of Transport for Wales's loco hauled services. Our train will run non-stop to Hereford (45 minute distant) before continuing to call at Abergavenny, Cwmbran and Newport. As a bonus we continue along the South Wales Main Line into Cardiff.
This fasinating route was filmed over a year from November 2021 to October 2022 and so will see a variety of season changes. Sadly on the drivers eye view on some parts the sun was very low in the sky, not a cloud to be seen, so some shots maybe quite blinding. Nonetheless we have put in trackside shots, narration explaining the history (past and present) and captions on various locations with the Welsh names inprinted...

Exploring Llanymynech Hill & The Welsh Marches || Ancient History & Amazing Scenery
We are out again exploring the Welsh border country. Today's adventure takes us just across to the borderland village of Llanymynech and into the Llanymynech Rocks Nature Reserve. From here the views across the Welsh Marches and north Shropshire area are breathtaking, even seeing the tops of the Berwyn Mountains as we look along the Tanat Valley.
Not only beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see, but unique industrial heritage too. The remarkable history of the limestone extractive industries feature strongly. We walk right through the Hoffman Kiln, built in the late 1800's and see wonderfully preserved buildings and workings in the area.
Ancient history is also prominent here, where the Romans surface mined for copper and silver. We explore caves that have given up century old treasu...

The Welsh Marches, by A.E. Housman
From A Shropshire Lad, this poem is Housman's terrible evocation of ancient wrongs that have become a part of people, part of their inner landscape. Read by Canadian author Terence Craig.

Knighton, Powys, Wales, Welsh Marches, UK.
Lying on the border of England and Wales, standing on Offa's Dyke, Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd) gives the visitor a glimpse of perhaps what small towns were like several decades ago. As well as possessing an interesting variety of shops, pubs, and a library and museum too, more than anything there is a feeling of tranquillity to the place. Crows hop and caw in the quiet side streets; we came across what looked like the abandoned remnants of a garage sale; then just around the corner a shopping trolley with a child's plastic seaside bucket containing a crab, adding an appealing quirkiness to the town.
The Dyke was built toward the end of the 8th Century by King Offa to separate the kingdoms of Mercia from Wales. It ran for 149 miles from Chepstow to Prestatyn and some 80 miles of The Dyke i...

Welsh Marches Driver's eye view preview
www.video125.co.uk Welsh Marches Newport to Crewe Driver's eye view. The term Welsh Marches refers to the border area between Wales and England. The railway diverging from the South Wales Main Line at Newport closely follows the border through Abergavenny, Hereford, Shrewsbury and Nantwich. We join a 3-car class 175 Coradia DMU en route from Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly on the approach to Newport, the area having only recently been re-signalled to the South Wales Control Centre. From the SWCC, signalling passes to a 1960's panel signal box at Little Mill and then to traditional mechanical signalling at Abergavenny. Cameras inside all three signal boxes vividly show this technological progression.

Three Medieval Castles A Motor Cycle Adventure to the Welsh Marches Royal Enfield Himalayan BMW R
The weather was supposed to be dry and sunny but infact for the most part it was dull and damp. This didn't stop us from having a little adventure.
I was joined by my good friend Tony Hawkins as we rode a total of 160 miles from Wiltshire and crossed over into the Country of Wales at Monmouthshire. We stopped for tea and cake at Ross on Wye then continued our journey to vist the three castles close by.
tony was riding a BMW R100GS which dates from the early 1990's. I was riding the 2019 BS4 Royal Enfield Himalayan, affectionately named "Chug".

Shell’s surprising and captivating Historic Film Archive dates from 1934 and covers a rich mix of topics from technology, science and engineering to craftsmanship, motorsport and travelogue.
The Shell Film Unit, responsible for the content, was a highly celebrated part of Britain’s Documentary Movement. Key figures from that movement were involved, including: Jack Beddington, Edgar Anstey, Arthur Elton, John Grierson, Kay Mander, Stuart Legg and Douglas Gordon.
Its films were wide reaching, often screened in cinemas and through the non-theatric film distribution circuit, which brought film to educational establishments and organisations across the UK. While many films covered technological themes related to Shell’s activities, others were entirely unrelated and served purely to educate the general public.
As Shell innovated in technologies that would provide oil and gas products for the world, the Shell Film Unit also innovated in the technological advancement of film, incorporating graphics and different forms of animation as early as the 1930s.
During WW2 the Shell Film Unit was co-opted into war effort, making films for the Ministry of Information’s film division. Its prowess in technological documentary suited the MoI’s need for technical training films.
While the name and the medium has changed many times over the years, the documentary tradition lives on at Shell. Its contemporary film team is part of Shell’s multi-disciplinary in-house agency, Creative Solutions. It continues making award-winning factual content that informs and educates the public, now usually released on social media platforms.

It is finally here, the last drivers eye view of 2022 has arrived, the Welsh Marches line from Shrewsbury to Cardiff Central on board one of Transport for Wales's loco hauled services. Our train will run non-stop to Hereford (45 minute distant) before continuing to call at Abergavenny, Cwmbran and Newport. As a bonus we continue along the South Wales Main Line into Cardiff.
This fasinating route was filmed over a year from November 2021 to October 2022 and so will see a variety of season changes. Sadly on the drivers eye view on some parts the sun was very low in the sky, not a cloud to be seen, so some shots maybe quite blinding. Nonetheless we have put in trackside shots, narration explaining the history (past and present) and captions on various locations with the Welsh names inprinted below.
Your continious support to this channel have always been appreciated over the years so please continue to like, comment and if you haven't done so already, subscribe to this channel for more drivers eye views that you wish to see in the future. For now, sit back and enjoy the ride down the Welsh Marches Line.

We are out again exploring the Welsh border country. Today's adventure takes us just across to the borderland village of Llanymynech and into the Llanymynech Rocks Nature Reserve. From here the views across the Welsh Marches and north Shropshire area are breathtaking, even seeing the tops of the Berwyn Mountains as we look along the Tanat Valley.
Not only beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see, but unique industrial heritage too. The remarkable history of the limestone extractive industries feature strongly. We walk right through the Hoffman Kiln, built in the late 1800's and see wonderfully preserved buildings and workings in the area.
Ancient history is also prominent here, where the Romans surface mined for copper and silver. We explore caves that have given up century old treasures in the recent past. Will we find any...? We look at the 3000 year old site of hill forts and settlements as we walk along the Offas Dyke Path.
Later we head away from the hills and cross borderland country to the seek out the remains of, and in places restored Montgomeryshire Canal which takes us back into the quaint village of Llanymynech.

Lying on the border of England and Wales, standing on Offa's Dyke, Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd) gives the visitor a glimpse of perhaps what small towns were like several decades ago. As well as possessing an interesting variety of shops, pubs, and a library and museum too, more than anything there is a feeling of tranquillity to the place. Crows hop and caw in the quiet side streets; we came across what looked like the abandoned remnants of a garage sale; then just around the corner a shopping trolley with a child's plastic seaside bucket containing a crab, adding an appealing quirkiness to the town.
The Dyke was built toward the end of the 8th Century by King Offa to separate the kingdoms of Mercia from Wales. It ran for 149 miles from Chepstow to Prestatyn and some 80 miles of The Dyke is still traceable today.

www.video125.co.uk Welsh Marches Newport to Crewe Driver's eye view. The term Welsh Marches refers to the border area between Wales and England. The railway diverging from the South Wales Main Line at Newport closely follows the border through Abergavenny, Hereford, Shrewsbury and Nantwich. We join a 3-car class 175 Coradia DMU en route from Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly on the approach to Newport, the area having only recently been re-signalled to the South Wales Control Centre. From the SWCC, signalling passes to a 1960's panel signal box at Little Mill and then to traditional mechanical signalling at Abergavenny. Cameras inside all three signal boxes vividly show this technological progression.
Dozens of former and existing junctions coupled with some magnificent scenery make this is a fascinating route, filmed in mid-summer sunshine all the way to Crewe. Dozens of mechanical signal boxes control our progress, including Europe's largest at Shrewsbury. Much of the history of the line as well as the current day operation of this Arriva Trains Wales service is in the narration.

The weather was supposed to be dry and sunny but infact for the most part it was dull and damp. This didn't stop us from having a little adventure.
I was joined by my good friend Tony Hawkins as we rode a total of 160 miles from Wiltshire and crossed over into the Country of Wales at Monmouthshire. We stopped for tea and cake at Ross on Wye then continued our journey to vist the three castles close by.
tony was riding a BMW R100GS which dates from the early 1990's. I was riding the 2019 BS4 Royal Enfield Himalayan, affectionately named "Chug".
Camera's used.
