Tribute to David Sinden

David Sinden was a brilliant optician and much more besides, he was an inspiration to me so it was with great sadness that I heard of his recent passing away. In respect I would like to offer this small tribute page. I have managed to unearth a small video clip of a piece originally shown on BBC Look North (I am not certain of the year), a regional TV programme in the North of England. The video features footage of the master at work in his workshop, it captures the essence of the man. I hope that you enjoy it.
