YouTube – Jack’s Country

Frank Whittington - the forgotten New Forest Toy maker

Frank Whittington's "Forest Toys" were hand made in his small factory located behind his home in Brockenhurst, Hampshire UK. The factory started at the end of World War I and ...continued until the start of World II.
Forest Toys attracted visitors from all over the world who would flood in to Brockenhurst in the New Forest to see the toys being made and buy them.
After it shut Frank and his toys have been largely forgotten but many still exist all over the world and have to collectors they have become very sort after.

About Jack's Country:
I used to work as and editor on Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves and then went on to make 60 programmes with him called Old Country for Channel 4 as producer/editor.
Jack mainly lived in Hampshire and Dorset and most of his programmes were shot in these two counties. They told the day to day life in the countryside and introduced us to many of the country crafts that still existed in those days.
I am making a series of films on YouTube about the subjects that Jack would have included in his TV programmes. I am not trying to recreate Out of Town or Old Country as this would be impossible without Jack's wonderful story telling but what I am hoping to do is make films on subjects that Jack may have chosen to make programmes on.
I do hope you enjoy them and if you have any suggestions on subjects you would like to be covered please let me know in the comments section.
