I remember being very inspired many years ago by what really was a rather sad film, sorry cannot remember the title but I'm hoping someone else can.
Set in Northern UK a chap, presumably a foundry worker, had either been laid off or had had to retire. All his working life he had wanted to make his wife a very fancy set of Bedhead / Bed foot panels - highly decorative and from cast iron - he was obsessed by it but no one would let him.
Living in a tiny terraced house he built a brick cupola in the equally tiny back yard (it was a yard complete with Privy not a garden) and at long last achieved his life long ambition.
Of course no one else really appreciated his work, and on his death at the end of the film, it was seen in what was obviously an area of WW2 bombed out housing that had been bulldozed, and children were bouncing up and down on it and breaking it up.
The bomb site scene probably dates it to the 1950's or 60's
Anyone remember it, or better still can put a name to it?
