As a part of my degree course in TV and Radio, I had to make a 10 minute film. My choice was to shoot a documentary about Winter Hill - a Lancashire hill with a dark history and a lively present. In 2002, the film won an RTS Award for Best Student Documentary in the North West.

WATCH THE FILM

The film portrays a day in the life of the famous Lancashire hill and tells some of the area's many stories, including the aeroplane crash of 1958 and the murder of George Henderson (right) as well as introducing the diverse visitors who pass through on a typical day.

I have built a dedicated Winter Hill website, based on the information gathered during the making of this film. It was one of the first sites I built and, as a result, doesn't boast impressive design, but it does contain a basic guide to the area and tells a few of the many stories from the Hill and the moors that surround it.
