Description

Comber brothers, Noel and Roy Spence, were born on Christmas Day, grew up to be national award-winning film-makers and also spent half of each year designing and building Santa's Grottos for shopping centres and department stores across Northern Ireland. It was only natural then that they combined these interests to shoot this wonderful film of an early 1980s Grotto they built for Ards Shopping Centre on 16mm film. It stands now as testament to a lost time when stores and centres throughout the land pulled out all the stops in conjuring up winter wonderlands for children to visit Santa in. Sections of this footage were used in the Super 8 Stories Christmas Special.
