Fancy a break? Choose your subject, sit back and watch. I found delightful footage of the village I grew up in and some of the people I knew. Enjoy!

I had a look at this a while ago and found myself wandering all over. I got completely side tracked and ended up watching all sorts. A brilliant way to see history. Lucky you, Jennie, to see people you knew

I found mine in the mid-1950s and it involved a butcher, a baker and a rabbit in a pram, all meant to be serious! Did you manage to find any villages or towns you and your rellies lived in? Let me know and if not I'll have a search for you as well.

Sadly i didn't find any footage of relatives but as i was born in Bournemouth i have spent many a fine few minutes checking out the footage and giggling at the 'Bournemouth swimsuits' and 'hairstyles in Bournemouth'. the innocence of the era was very apparent. I have also found the war footage interesting. (Guess where i vanished to for half an hour after i read your post?) I hadn't been on there for a while so you reminded me why i found it so good. Thanks Jennie
