Cosgrove Hall – RIP

ken — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:42:25 +0000

Animator Mark Hall, co-founder of Cosgrove Hall died of cancer last week aged 74. The studio was major creator of children’s programmes for many years, and it’s output is still viewed throughout the world.

So perhaps it is fitting that the bricks and mortar which housed the studio is currently being demolished to make way for 47 retirement apartments.

Their output was phenomenal, and included:

Wind in the Willows
Dangermouse
Chorlton and the Wheelies
Postman Pat
Roary the Racing Car
Captain Kremmen cartoon (Kenny Everett)

The studio was closed by ITV in 2009
