Re: British Pathe - vintage dowsing footage
I'm willing to bet that Mr. Mullins is probably one of the sons of John Mullins of Bath, who was a prolific water diviner of the Victorian era.
It was one of the sons of John Mullins that introduced George Applegate to dowsing.
Note also Lloyd George!!

Wow! What a great find, Ian. I bet we don't even have those in the archives. Well done!

Re: British Pathe - vintage dowsing footage
Many thanks!
I found that the Sound and Moving Image collection at the National Library of Wales has a piece of film-footage of water-divining dating back to 1931. This pre-dates the formation of the BSD but I wonder if any of them became members?

Peyton (who filmed the expedition) and others encountered on their journey from Quetta [now in Pakistan] to Kandahar [or Qandahar, Afghanistan] and back. Mr Francis, with relatives in Lampeter, was one of the engineers involved in the building of the Quetta Dam.

Re: British Pathe - vintage dowsing footage
Just found this old footage from the 1970's - it's in the Welsh Language...
P.S. Needles of Stone (T. Graves) came out two years AFTER the second piece was first shown...
