We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Not much, probably. You cannot be sure whether shot 12 is of the same house as shots 10 and 11. And what is the connection with the barn-like building in shots 13 and 14? It is possibly miles away.

Shots 10-15. "Timbersholme" where we spent our holidays in 1953. It is a 14th-century farmhouse which has been converted into a guest house. The barn has been made into a recreation room and is used for country dancing. Shot 15 shows the view across the vale to the south.

You will see that the script has used all your facts except one. No mention is made of country dancing because it would make the audience expect shots of such good cine material. Even in these few lines of commentary, however, the script writer finds your information inadequate. You should have told him where "Timbersholme" stands in
