A Silent Film....

[OJ UK]

....from the year 1936 which shows life in Lenham, the village in Kent where I spent my childhood.

Note: I used the phrase "spent my childhood" rather than "grew up" as I haven't yet achieved the latter.
Note: Kindly remember that this was shot in 1936, Lenham has changed in lifestyle quite a bit since then!
The Tithe barn is now used as an exhibition centre and they have electricity and everything!

This seems to encourage me to go over there and take some pictures myself.....would anyone be interested in seeing them?

Anyway, here's the link: http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-lenham-a-kentish-village-1936/

Can't speak for everyone but but I like pics from different places around the world.

I can't see it either but would like to and to see any new pictures you take as a contrast.

You can try to download the video on to your computer, using a program like clip converter (it's free). There are others also.
You would be converting the video to a MP4 or mov file.
then upload it to YouTube

Sadly that didn't work, Vided....

I think Clip Converter's download address is in the US and also blocked.
I'll contact BFI and find out why they're being so pig-headed about where their films can be viewed....
