Thomas BloorLast of the Flowermakers (1997)

Documentary about the near-lost craft of Victorian flowermaking. The programme was contributed to the Museum of London and as such is in the public domain.

David Bloor is possibly the last of the flowermakers, in a business unit on a North London industrial estate. Since the filming of this documentary he has sadly gone out of business.

This documentary is great!

I think it should be moved to an other section (like movies or documentaries) to give it the attention it deserves.

Credits

As per end-title crawl.
