Title: Colour Footage of London in 1927
Post by: martink on May 14, 2013, 03:17:04 PM
About 5 minutes of colour film of London as of 1927.  No trains, alas, but plenty of buses and even a few trams.

Brilliant. Much more colour than the usual photos evoke.
Think I need to buy a big flat cap...

Being an East-end lad I already have one, not a tweed one though, not old enough for that Victor Meldrew look . . . yet ;)

Brown leather one, makes me look like a barrow-boy! :D
