A 1977 interview with 108 year old Mrs Florence Pannel who was born in 1868. She shares her memories and speaks about life for women in Victorian times. Born before the aeroplane and 101 when man landed on the moon. Her accent is remarkable.

The English countryside in 1910 and a rare example of a clapper stile gate. The horizontal beams are attached at the centre and normally kept in place by weights, so you can create a low point by pushing down on the other end.

I love this film from England, 1901. We’re close enough that it’s not just a crowd of people. You can see all the individual personalities of the children showing off, jostling their friends and pulling faces to the camera. It’s worth watching twice.

Waterloo Station in the 1930s. Note the porters hurrying to the first class coaches as the train arrives. Posters on the ticket barriers advertise summer tickets and day trips so this is probably pre-1939 as non-essential rail travel was restricted during the war.
