What an amazing film - you can still recognise many of the locations particularly on the SUC. Lots more lillies and weed too...
These are wonderful. Especially enjoyed the shots of the horse drawn barges. Can't be much footage in colour from the period.
I think Frances has some more film still to be digatised
Great movie! Loved seeing the back gardens with all their dahlias along the canal and the horse drawn barges. Fishermen were just the same too!! Wonderful record of the time!
