Hi John
Yes I bought one, a bit expensive, but I had a one minute film clip of my
relative Horace Edward Goodby when he was Lord Mayor of Birmingham 1932,
opening Birmingham Municipal Bank with the then Prince George. Its great.

Dear Listers,
I've just been viewing a few of the thousands of old Pathé News newsreel
clips available online at
http://www.britishpathe.com/
According to the blurb on the website, "You can view and buy films and
still
photographs from the entire archive of 90,000 videos covering newsreel,
sports footage, social history documentaries, entertainment and music
stories from 1896 to 1976."
In the search box, type a keyword such as the name of a village, town or
county relevant to your family history and see what comes up.
The clips I viewed ranged from the early 1920s (a procession to Brecon
Cathedral) to the 1960s (a landslip in the Swansea Valley).
Kind regards,
John
