  • Hi,

    I am the great granddaughter of John Gillies Shields who once owned the Donington Hall, estate and the race track. I would like to know if I could ever buy any of the video clips and/or if you ever filmed anything at Donington Hall, i.e., as the POW during the WW1 or when it became a depot in WW2. I can be contacted through my email - deborah.rea94@gmail.com
