london in the fifties

independent studios in collaboration with itn source are producing a series of dvds about london. this collection contains rarely seen content shot between 1896 and 1970.

the first collection is a series of 8 dvds exploring aspects of london's city past. the 'london on film' range includes titles such as 'london's east end 1900s - 1930 and 1940 - 1970s', 'london's lost docks', 'london railways 1920s - 1970s' and 'we ruled london: the story of the krays'

and i was one of the lucky winners to see 'london in the fifties part 1 and 2' at the pcc yesterday. unfortunately, i couldn't find any videos to post, but you can buy them from the archive film shop for just £9.99 each. really worth it!
