Saturday Night and SundayMorning Iconic film commemorated by new book from local club member
Skegness Camera Club member, Ron Disney has produced a book documenting the areas of Nottinghamwhere the film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was shot in the 1960s. The book, with the
tagline Then and Now , charts the changes in the city since. As well as his photos, the book also includes stills from the film and memories of those who lived or worked in the area. Ron used a
period Ordnance Survey map to pinpoint where the camera was placed to filmthe scenes so he could recapture the shots. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Then and Now by Ron
Disney costs £9, and all proceeds go to British Film Institute and the National Animal Trust. To order a copy, call 01754 766587.
