World of Work - Russell Maynard, Shapland & Petter Apprentice

In this short oral history film we listen to Russell Maynard talking about his time as an apprentice cabinet maker at Shapland and Petter in Barnstaple in the 1950s.  We watch Russell at work in his woodworking workshop today and have a peep inside the now derelict Shapland and Petter Oliver buildings where his apprentice workshop was.

​This film is part of a collection produced by North Devon Moving Image for the new social history gallery at the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon.
