This TV clip is the sort of thing I normally just flag up on the Heritage Crafts Association facebook page but I enjoyed it so much I thought this one deserved a more permanent post on the blog.

And on a more serious note this is a 1 hour edit of the forthcoming documentary on Standard Quay where traditional craftspeople face eviction to make way for lucrative property development.
