Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Maturing in the Wood. DESCRIPTION: Students at Exeter College of Art, bought a large cider barrel for eleven pounds. They pushed it for a mile, to the beach at Dawlish Warren. They are featuring the barrel in a college project about Living in the Round. Mr Dennis Phillips chose a sight overlooking Brixham in Devon, to build his dream house which is costing him £19,000. The owner only agreed to sell the land, if the pine tree growing in the middle was left standing. So Mr Phillips built the house round the tree. SHOTLIST: MS students walking to the barrel.
