The Flaxton Boys(1969)

The Flaxton Boys is a British historical children's series that follows four generations of young men across different eras at Flaxton Hall in Yorkshire. Each season jumps forward in time: the first explores life during the Crimean War in 1854, the second moves to 1890, the third to 1928, and the fourth to 1945 in the aftermath of World War II. Produced by Yorkshire Television for ITV and created by Sid Waddell, the show uses its shifting timelines to capture how boyhood and coming-of-age experiences transform across more than a century of British history. The series balances adventure and education, offering young viewers a window into the lives of their peers in vastly different historical periods.
