Documentary film maker  and social historian Trish FitzSimons has recently completed two documentaries about Norman Creek, using support from the Lord Mayor's 'Helen Taylor bequest for Local History'. The films, Time and Tide: Life on Norman Creek and Time and Tide: The Boat Builders of Norman Creek run for eight minutes and six minutes respectively and can be viewed at YouTube by clicking on the links below. They showcase broader research already undertaken for the Time and Tide project, and may in future form part of an exhibition open to the public.
