Eckington is one of Britain’s most historic towns. A settlement since Roman times and listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, it has for centuries been home to many great landmarks, stories and people.
With A Picture of Eckington, the team of home-grown filmmakers at Compress Media have set out to shine a light on the town’s great history and put Eckington firmly on the map.
