‘Day in the Life of New Buckenham’
This is a short film made by the East Anglian Film Archive in 1993 and appears on the
British Film Institute website.
“Children leave for school and the daily routines begin at the newsagent's, butcher's,
bakery, post office, garage, pub, basket makers', pottery and piggery. People are at the
hairdressers, repairing buildings and cars, cleaning the church. The milk and post delivery
and mobile fish and chip van punctuate the day until the children's return and evening
playtime, bell ringing and start of rehearsals for the winter pantomime at the pub.”
