![]() ![]() Taken from ![]() We Live in Two Worlds 2-DVD set and second volume (of 3) of shorts from The GPO Film Unit, covering the period 1936-1938. 15-minute description of a year in the life of Britain - a bit of a mad dash through lots of different sequences and events - all linked by the Post Office's various new communications and cables projects. Mixes new in-house footage with bits brought in from elsewhere (which are obvious because quality is not as good). A bit incoherent at times, but worth watching, although can't find an online copy. See http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1356037/index.html for info. Rejects ![]() Truck in left edge. They're apparently laying the first co-axial cable to open up the television network from London to Manchester ![]() ![]() Isle Of Man TT - unintentionally funny sequence for 1st picture as camera pans round to catch the bike going round the curve, but misses it completely until it'd nearly gone ![]() ![]() ![]() Slow panning shot across the car park for the Derby at Epsom. Looks like lots of goodies, but too distant to really pick out definite stuff. ![]() Blurry little cars ![]() ![]() ![]() The Preslands of Walthamstow removals truck beyond ![]() Interesting things in football crowd. Taxi(?) on right is YY 3582 = late 1932 ![]() ![]() Car spoiled by overlain footage ![]() Bus and taxi ![]() Pedal car. I guess LB plate = Lines Brothers, so Triang. Later owners of Spot-On, Dinky, Meccano, Hornby, Sindy etc |

Possible Taxi 'YY 3582' looks like an Austin 12/4 High Lot but only known registrations are YY4141 to YY4170 and YY6961 to YY7000. It looks so convincing I suspect some numbers are missing from the Mann & Overton list. |

The Preslands of Walthamstow removals truck looks to be a 1934 Bedford WTL 3-Ton. |
