Bert Smith of Coniston, and previously Bowness-on-Windermere, maker of violins and violas
Thursday
1965 TV programme
In 1965 the BBC showed a documentary Violin on BBC1 (Friday 23rd April at 10.45 p.m.). This included footage of Bert in his attic with Yehudi Menuhin. Unfortunately the programme itself appears to be lost.
Here are some photos taken off the screen during that original broadcast, from a 405-line set.
