Of Possible Interest

I found these at YouTube after one of them was mentioned at a group:

tinyurl.com/23cmruc London Life 1930

tinyurl.com/2e4bvyd  London 1920s

Hyde Park 1926

There are more of London during different years, too. I find it interesting to see some of the things Bertie and Jeeves would have been familiar with.

If you are interested in this, Chariots of Fire has scenes of England in the 20s including some wonderful views of Eton. {In the film it's called Cambridge but if you listen to the commentary the actual filming took place at Eton}. Stephen Fry is in Chariots but I couldn't find him in the mentioned scene.

Thanks for these! I haven't seen Chariots of Fire and I had no idea Stephen had a role in it. I'm getting it from the library for next weekend.
