DVD:  LINCOLNSHIRE A CENTURY ON FILM: Reel Seven - And Finally...\n\n\u2018Lincolnshire \u2013 A Century On Film\u2019 is a major new series of DVDs showing life and work in the historic county. Volume Seven, which completes the series, covers the last thirty years of the Twentieth Century, a period which saw the heyday of traditional cine photography, followed by its rapid decline as video and digital systems became increasingly popular. \n\nAnother technological change was the increasing use of computers, though the latest thing in the 1970s now seems comically antiquated. Food production was also becoming increasingly mechanised.  We see pork pies and Stilton cheese being made, and visit a Potato Crisp factory in Scunthorpe. \n\nBut for many, the most notable development of this era was the building of the Humber Bridge, and a fond farewell to the paddle steamer ferries it replaced. Industry, too, was flourishing, as we see during visit.
